Building a winning team in Konami's eFootball game and employing an effective playing strategy involves a combination of selecting the right players, understanding the game mechanics, and adapting your tactics to suit your team's strengths. Here are some tips to help you create a competitive team and improve your in-game performance:

1. Understand the game mechanics: Familiarize yourself with the gameplay, controls, and game modes. Spend time in the training mode to practice your skills and learn how to execute different actions, such as passing, shooting, dribbling, and defending.
2. Choose the right players: Select players based on their skills, attributes, and positions. You'll want a balanced team with a good mix of attackers, midfielders, defenders, and a solid goalkeeper. Pay attention to each player's overall rating, as well as individual stats like speed, shooting, passing, and physicality.
3. Formation and tactics: Select a formation that complements your playing style and the strengths of your players. Common formations include 4-4-2, 4-3-3, and 4-2-3-1. Experiment with different formations to find the one that works best for your team.
4. Playing style: Develop a playing style that suits your team's strengths. If you have fast wingers and strong attackers, focus on counter-attacking football. If your team excels in possession and passing, a slower, more controlled build-up style may be more effective.
5. Understand your opponents: Analyze your opponents' strengths and weaknesses before each match. Adjust your tactics and formation accordingly to exploit their vulnerabilities and neutralize their threats.
6. Master set-pieces: Practice and become proficient in executing corner kicks, free kicks, and penalties. Set-pieces can be game-changers, and mastering them will give you an edge over your opponents.
7. Manage player stamina and substitutions: Keep an eye on your players' stamina levels and make substitutions when necessary. Fresh legs can make a difference, especially in the later stages of a match.
8. Adapt and learn: Continually refine your tactics, formations, and playing style as you gain more experience in the game. Observe what works well and what doesn't, and be prepared to make adjustments to improve your team's performance.

Remember, practice and experience are key to success in eFootball. The more you play, the better you'll become at understanding the nuances of the game and making the right decisions on and off the pitch.

I'm putting this here because some people may not have access to where I posted last night.
Some of you may know that my wife Kim has not been in good health for quite a while. I don't know that I've ever told anyone on here the full extent. So buckle up. This is going to be a long and bumpy ride.
She has been diagnosed with COPD, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, morbid obesity, diabetes, degenerative joint disease in her hips and knees, and neuropathy (nerve damage) in her feet and ankles. Two of the medications she takes for pain cause constipation. Not only that, but she has dealt with claustrophobia, anxiety and depression for years, and more recently agoraphobia.
Anytime some little sniffle entered the house, she would end up in the hospital with bronchitis and pneumonia. February 2020 was no different...until COVID. They discharged her earlier than they wanted to because they had four or five positive cases on the floor where she was and they didn't want to take the chance on someone like her catching it. At the time we thought it was a great idea, or at least the lesser of two evils.
But when someone with severe anxiety and depression gets word of a global medical pandemic, their mind starts working overtime. We were one of the households that started panic buying things like toilet paper and canned goods and cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer. We had to wipe everything down before it came into the house. We had to leave mail and packages outside for 24 hours before we brought it in.
And she never left our bedroom. She freaked out every time one of us left the house. We had to change clothes as soon as we came in and leave whatever we were wearing outside for 24 hours. And it's not like we have a little mudroom or anything like that. Front door, front room...side door, kitchen...back door, family room.
When you lay in bed for months and months on end, you lose function of your body. You lose strength. You lose the ability to do things most of us take for granted, such as get up and go to the bathroom. Eventually she developed something they call foot drop. Instead of your ankles forming a normal L shape, they look more like hockey sticks (or feet in high heels). And when you do get up and put weight on your heels, you fall backwards.
And that is exactly what happened to her couple months ago. If I hadn't been standing right behind her, trying desperately to hold her up, she would've smashed her back into the bed frame and done some serious damage to her already compromised body.
Kim has been in this hospital for seventy days. She's been in five different rooms on four separate floors, including a week in the intensive care unit. She has almost died three times, through no fault of the hospital. Once was due to her poor breathing and her highly diminished blood oxygen level. She was given three options: use a BiPAP machine, get a tracheostomy, or go to hospice.
I ended up bringing her BiPAP machine from home and she has used it maybe half the time. You can't put a full face mask on someone who suffers from claustrophobia. You also can't rely on a BiPAP machine to breathe for you. Then it becomes more like a ventilator and, since she has filled out "do not resuscitate" paperwork, a ventilator is out of the question.
She and I have talked on multiple occasions about what her future will be like. I have asked her point-blank a number of times whether or not she wants to live. Some days she said yes, some days she said no. I've always held out hope that there would be more "yes" days.
We had a family meeting today with the doctor, the physician assistant, the charge nurse, the case manager, and reps from physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory and cardiology. They explained her situation in great detail. They talked about why she has consistently been denied when it comes to rehabilitation centers. Some places don't accept my insurance, some places don't have bariatric beds available, and some places don't think she's made enough effort.
In the past seventy days, physical therapy has attempted to work with her eleven times. She has refused on six occasions. The first four times she excepted, it was simply a matter of sitting up on the edge of the bed. It was no effort to have her stand, because they were concerned that she would fall. But last Thursday, they lifted her up on what's called a Hoyer sling, sat her down in the chair, and helped her stand up twice. It was maybe a total of a minute, but it was more than she had done in 4 1/2 months.
We thought it was a turning point. We thought maybe she was actually going to do this. Then the next day she had another episode with her oxygen levels and apparently at that point decided that she was done.
So, after this meeting, after discussing the entire situation with me and with her daughters, my wife has decided on hospice care at home. It's definitely not what I wanted. But I told her that it was her decision and I would support her, no matter what.
She kept asking me what I want. I finally told her that I want her to be comfortable with whatever decision she makes. I can't and I won't make the decision for her. And I won't try to convince her to change her mind, no matter what I want.
She's 58. We've been together for almost 20 years and married for just over 6. She has three children, 40, 33, and 27. We have three grandchildren, 9, 4, and 2. But she's been suffering from physical and emotional pain for so long that none of that seems worth it to her. I can't say I understand. But it's her decision.
If you're still reading this, I'm grateful. There's a lot of pain and frustration in those words. I don't know if you believe in any sort of divine being or not. Personally, I no longer do...but that's a completely different post. And I would really appreciate any positive vibes, good juju, prayers, etc. that you can spare. I know that a dear friend of mine is struggling right now due to her father's health. And I know that people often say "I'll keep _____ in my thoughts and prayers." And right now, Kim and I could use all the help we can get.
Thank you JJ

I've been with this guy for a while and I do love him, the way he laughs, the way he puts me first, and most of all the way he loves me, but I was talking to him yesterday and now I don't know what to do. We work together and have a gay coworker, coworkers in question is great, but I notice that my bf is mean to him buy only jokingly, or so I thought, I have noticed him say some homophobic or transphobic things in passing conversation with me but they never really went into any deeper talk. But I kept thinking about those things so this time after he was pretending(?) To be mean to this coworker(I say pretending bc it's not like he's calling him slurs or bullying him specifically for being gay, and they do actually seem to get along) I didn't make it seem like a serious thing but I asked if he had a problem with him bc he's gay, and I don't remember exactly what he said but I do vividly remembered him pointing out ur birth gender is ur gender and u can't change it and "u want a guy to kiss another guy? Beard on beard?" And I said "I mean yeah if that's what they want" but something about the way he looked at me when he said that, it was like it wasn't him but I also feel like it was and I'm honestly mad at myself for not seeing it before. I just don't understand homopol people, it's not ur business who kisses who so leave them alone, and I sorta said this but all he said was that it wasn't his business but still. I honestly feel bad for his brother (mostly closeted trans person ftm who is out as a lesbian to most family but nothing more) who we also work with and for our coworker. I have seen him makes homophobic and transphobic pokes at him brother before and of course I didn't like it but at first I just thought it was bc they were siblings, but as I stated to notice more and more jokes made at the LGBTQ+ I started to wonder, but at first it seemed to just be jokingly and not offensively (yes I know that's not better but I will say it's different, not by much but) which fit with his personality to a point but it started to form a more and more uncomfortable knot in my stomach, as a genderfluid pansexual who was scared back into the closet by others comments I'm now terrified to come out to him or anyone else, I never told him bc when the passive jokes started he first said he didn't understand the LGBTQ+ and I didn't know how I would explain myself (genderfluid and pansexual seem to be harder for people to understand from my experience) so I just let it be, but I slowly realized I was pushing myself further and further back into the closet and I hate myself for that bc I worked to hard to find and except myself and he tells me he doesn't want me to change for him but he doesn't understand just how much I'm changing and hiding about myself. At the end of the day I just know what to do, I do love him, alot, and that's not just gonna go away, but I can't ignore the fact that he is like this, I don't mind fitting myself in whatever box he makes for me because I love him, but it's others I worry about, I don't want him to be mean to others bc I feel bad and it's just wrong, but I don't know how I can address this with him without changing how he sees me, and I know I can't come out to him bc that will change how he sees me and it may risk losing him and I don't want that, how do I talk to him about this if I even can I don't want him asks why I care so much, my siblings are all LGBTQ+ most my friends are, I whole heartedly support all aspects of the LGBTQ+ so idk what to do.
I have a genderfluid flag in my room that I got when I came out to my family (got ignored) and my cat pulled it down when playing around a few weeks ago but I haven't put it back up, I don't want him to see it when we face time, and I think I'm doing it so I don't see it bc it's easier to ignore when I can't see it. Not to mention I thought I was a lesbian before I met him and apparently most the adults in my life were just glad I was dating a boy in general (that makes me really sad and that's part of why I pushed myself back into the closet about my sexuality as well)
I just feel so lost, I apologize if anything I said comes across as offensive I'm not meaning to be anything but respectful and supportive to all the LGBTQ+ I promise. Thank you for ur time sorry if it's long, much love ❤❤

Fire. So much fire.
Where am I? Hell?
It certainly looks like hell. Feel like it too. The flames are licking my bare skin, but it is soothing somehow. Like a puppy licking my face.
It swirls around me, then opens up into a pair of wings flapping in a dull rhythm. I look majestic. Like a phoenix rising from the flame.
My subjects stand before me. They chant my name and address me as their empress. Their queen. The only one destined to lead them.
And one by one they bow.
I feel honoured. I feel power. I feel a smile form on my lips.
I must speak. To thank them for their kind and loyal support. But when I open my mouth I don’t talk—I click and I clack and I chitter.
The crowd goes wild. They are jumping on each other and craning their neck to see me. I stumble backwards, eyes wide and my heart pounding in my throat. Turning around to face a mirror behind me, I let out a shrill scream.
My features are melting like candle-wax. I can’t even recognise myself anymore.
I…
…
“…”
“Skye.”
“SKYE!”
I snapped back to it to find my boyfriend, Alfie, staring at me. His face was pale, like he had just seen a ghost. He held up a blood-splattered tissue.
“Your nose is bleeding. Are you okay?”
“Yeah. I just had another…”
I trailed off, staring at the sky. I never knew what to call them. Nightmare? Hallucination? Seizure? I had them since I was a child and still I couldn’t put a name to the episodes.
Alfie wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close. He smelled like the old teddy bear I had when I was a child and it put my mind at ease. I snuggled up beside him.
“We can go home if you want,” he offered. “You really look like you saw a ghost.”
That was the best thing about Alfie. We’d grown up together–next-door neighbours–and we had so much in common we were practically in sync. We both grew up without a mother—his parents divorced when he was little and mine, well— I don’t know what happened to my mother. My father forbade me from talking about her.
He always slapped me in the face when I tried.
But Alfie, he was my cliff. And I was the waves crashing against it. We were inseparable in this rough and tough neighborhood where being raised by a single parent was a sin. We might not have siblings, but we had each other. Honestly, that’s all that really mattered.
“I’ll walk you home.”
“I’m fine, Alfie. Really.”
Alfie shook his head. “Skye, you look sick. I insist.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. Good old Alfie. Stubborn as a lovely mule. “Fine, you big doofus.”
We walked home in silence. I didn’t want to talk about what I saw this time and Alfie knew better than to push it. Neither my dad nor my stepmom was home as usual so Alfie escorted me into bed and tucked me into it. Like I was 5 years old again.
“Thanks.”
He cracked a slight smile. “Don’t mention it.”
He sat on a chair nearby and withdrew into the shadows. It was comforting having him there watching me sleep, like a father taking watch for his family during a cold, winter night. Alfie came over and held my hand. It felt as warm as fire.
“I’ll be here whenever you need me.”
“Always.”
“You okay, Skye?”
I cracked my eyes open, hissing from the strong stream of bright sunlight. Alfie was gone, replaced by my stepmother, Emily. She sat next to me on my bed, her palm over my forehead.
“Alfie told me you’re sick. Do you need anything?”
“Not really.” My voice sounded like it had aged fifty years.
“I got some water. And Alfie, he got something for you. Said he hoped it would make you happy.”
I blinked back tears, nearly choking on my water. I felt better already.
“Chocolate,” Emily continued. She sniffed it. “Fresh. Handcrafted. What is this? Valentines’ Day?”
“Or did you two steal my credit card to buy expensive chocolate?”
“Stop!” I grinned, taking one. It melted like butter in my mouth and cascaded down my throat.
“Mm! Thanks!”
“Don’t thank me,” Emily said. “Thank him. He’s been calling all morning. Asking how you’re doing.”
“Told him you were asleep but he won’t take no for an answer. Wanted to see you himself. To check up on you.”
I got up and stretched. Suddenly, I didn’t feel so tired anymore. “I ought to go now.”
“Do you want me to come with you?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Alfie wasn’t home. The doorbell echoed thinly in the morning air. Something flickered in the upstairs window, and I caught sight of a pair of eyes. Alfie maybe?
Click
The door swung open. Alfie’s father stared grimly down at me, clawing his graying hair.
“Alfie’s upstairs,” he muttered before I could speak.
“He said he is preparing to see you.”
Preparing?
“Thanks Mr Owens.”
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. The house was thrown into complete disarray. Their possessions were scattered in every corner and covered by a film of dust. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought Alfie and his dad left in a rush and never came back.
The stairs creaked with every step.
“Alfie?”
No answer. The stairs sank under my weight and I nearly fell. I could hear flies buzzing in the distance.
“Alfie? It’s Skye!”
Creak
“Alfie?”
I trooped up the last step, hardly daring to breathe.
Thud. Thud. Creak.
The early morning light bathed Alfie’s room in gold, yet he was cloaked in shadow. Alfie sat hunched at the side of his bed, facing the window. He was only wearing a pair of shorts and he was scratching his left arm.
“Alfie…”
“Are you okay Skye?”
His words cut through the confusion and knocked me cold.
“Kind of? Why are you so itchy? Mosquitoes?”
“Come and see.”
I slid on the bed next to him and looked at his arm. A scarab with bulging eyes was carved deep into his flesh. The wound was old and the blood dry, but it was carved in exquisite detail like he paid a professional tattoo artist to do it for him.
I stared at it for a moment, and I swore something clicked in my brain. Like this scarab was a part of me, somehow. But I gritted my teeth and shook it off.
“Alfie?” I frowned. “Are you okay?”
He stared at me, his eyes bulging as big as the bug on his arm.
“Don’t you get it? It’s a sign, Skye! We are meant to be together!”
“Uh…”
Goosebumps crept up my skin and my spine tingled. Alfie was still grinning at me. But it felt unnatural, somewhat, like he was forcing it on his face.
“Do you like it, Skye? I did it for you!”
I was struggling to breathe. “Maybe?”
The morning heat shimmered between us like a protective shield. Alfie was still smiling at me.
“I’ve got to go…”
“Wait!” he cried. “Don’t you want to hear about how you…”
He shrieked his explanation to the empty room as I scrambled down the stairs and out of his house. Even on the way home I could still hear him.
“Something wrong?”
“Maybe.” I picked at my food. It was fish and chips—one of my favourite foods. Emily frequently picked them up when she was out of town and on normal days they tasted like heaven.
But not today. Today it tasted like sandpaper. All day I was thinking of Alfie and my stomach was twisted to knots.
“It’s about Alfie, isn’t it?”
Emily read me like a book as usual. It was often annoying but right now I never felt more grateful.
“Maybe…”
“Look, Skye, he’ll get over it soon. He’s just thinking about how to sort out his feelings for you.”
“Maybe…”
“Don’t worry about it. It will pass sooner or later. In fact tomorrow he might propose to you with a huge diamond ring…”
“Emily!”
“What? I’m saying that is possible!”
Creak.
“What was that?”
Emily exchanged nervous glances with my dad, who had been quiet all evening. “I don’t know.”
I stood up. “I’ll go look.”
“SKYEEEEE!”
My hair stood on end at the edge of my skin. “Alfie?”
“SKYEEEE! I LOVE YOU!”
“Alfie…” I croaked. I wanted to run but something was pinning me there.
“I LOVE YOU SKYE!”
I dared peek out the window. There was Alfie. Motionless. Waiting.
The moon shone deep on him, slowly peeling off strips of colour on his face. He stood, eyes as wide as copper coins. Yelling my name over and over. Yet it didn’t sound like a boy; it sounded like a grizzly, tired old man fighting to get a frog out of his throat.
“Alfie? What is going on?”
Silence. He was still screaming my name. Loud as the crickets.
“He’ll get over it,” Emily repeated uncomfortably, staring at the screaming boy. “Come on Skye. I’m sure it will be fine tomorrow.”
But it wasn’t fine. At first he stood a few meters away, and then with each passing day he got nearer and nearer. Once I peered down to see him so close to the wall his nose was touching it. Then he looked up, his lips puckered to the bricks like an octopus, his eyes stretching to the back of his head until you could see a morbid web of veins, and then, he grinned.
I kept on asking him about it, asking him if he was feeling okay and if he needed anything. And every time I brought up the subject, I had more questions than answers.
For he wouldn’t answer me properly. He avoided my eyes and dodged each question like James Bond. Directing answers back at me, asking how I felt or if I was sick. On and on.
But never a word about him. He smiled and told me not to worry. He would be fine.
That sentence echoed doubt over and over in my head.
I noticed he wore more long-sleeved shirts to cover up the tattoo—he said he did it because he knew it bothered me a lot—and then he immediately changed the subject.
“Hey Skye,” he said one day after another unsuccessful attempt of getting him to talk to me about it. “Have you ever paid attention to a mouse clicking?”
I frowned. “Pardon?”
“A computer mouse,” Alfie clarified. “I bought a new one yesterday and have been playing around with it a lot. And now I can copy one! Check it out!”
He made a series of clicks with his tongue and laughed. “What do you think?”
It was hauntingly familiar. For some reason cold dread washed again down my spine. Alfie clicked again, and I swore his lips were bulging and twisting out into something that looked like a short noodle.
“It’s lovely, Alfie,” I said instead. “But it’s making my head spin.”
Alfie laughed again. Ruffled my hair. A cold breeze was sweeping through the hill and soon my hair flopped onto my face.
“Nonsense Skye!” Alfie said. “I’m doing it for you! Listen!”
He got up and clicked his way home and soon my heart was as cold as the wind.
The next night he was in my room. Really.
I woke up from another nightmare in the middle of the night, something about fire cooking me alive and bugs scuttling down my skin. And then I saw a dark silhouette at the foot of my bed.
Thunder roared and the sky lit up with a brief bolt of lightning. Light beamed down, and then I could see his face.
It was Alfie. He was standing there with his arms out and his head bent to the side like a limp rag doll. His jaws were fully protruding from his face now, and he wouldn’t stop making those stupid clicks.
Flies buzzed around his head like they were proud of serving their king. Alfie leaned forward and reached out to touch me. He grinned, revealing yellowed teeth.
Click. Click. CLICK
Thunder screamed and it went dark once more. When the flash of light came back Alfie was suddenly on my bed. He clicked as he inched slowly forwards.
I was paralysed. He was hissing, swaying to the crack and boom and snap of thunder. He slithered, closer and closer and closer…
My scream was stuck in my throat.
He was so close now I could reach out and touch him and–oh god, the smell. Like he had dipped a rotting corpse in vinegar then rolled on the floor with it.
I ducked under my covers and pulled it tight above me. His shadow loomed over mine. Hands danced along the blanket, looking for an edge to pull.
Thunder cracked the sky like a whip. I mustered my courage and screamed, “GO AWAY ALFIE!”
More thunder. So loud this time I thought my eardrums shattered.
Then silence.
I dared to peek.
The moon shone bright through my window. Everything had disappeared—no thunder, no lightning, no storm.
And no Alfie.
At first I thought I was only dreaming. I pinched myself and counted how many fingers I had just to make sure.
Then I smelled it. Deep and lingering.
Like a rotten corpse dipped in vinegar.
I woke up to a ton of shouting.
I dragged myself to the window and peered down, rubbing my eyes. People were gathered outside my house, nudging and whispering and pointing at something on the wall.
The police were here too, but their faces were as white as a sheet, and their arms were stuck by their sides. One of them was holding a megaphone, but his lips were quivering. The megaphone tumbled onto the ground and let out its own screech of terror.
Finally I dared look at what the commotion was about.
It was Alfie.
CLICK CLICK CLICK
He looked up at me and I saw that his face was swelling; his eyes were swelling. In fact Alfie’s eyes were bulging more than it ever could, and it glistened like a mirror, so clearly I could see my reflection in it. He scuttled up the wall towards me, and as I watched, a pair of hairy feelers erupted from his forehead and waved.
CLICK CLICK
I couldn’t breathe. I watched as each arm and leg grabbed the bricks and hauled his body upwards. I was gripping the windows so tight my knuckles were as white as his face.
Alfie stopped mere inches from me, the hair on his new feelers tickling my face.
CLICK
He smelled even worse than last night, if it was even possible. I swore I could practically see the cloud of toxic gas on his breath. I leaned as far away as I could from him and tried not to gag.
One of the bricks tumbled away from him and landed somewhere down beneath. The house we had bought was very old and it was clear it couldn’t support his weight. Alfie’s grip slipped but still hung on tight with his other hand. He was swinging gently from side to side, like a moving pendulum, and I found I couldn’t look away.
CLICK CLICK
Another brick fell. I found myself wishing more would fall faster.
CLICK CLICK
“Alfie,” I choked. “Please…”
It was like his hands were made of butter. Alfie desperately hung onto the ledge with just two fingers. The rest were shrinking quickly and folding into his palm. His other hand was no more; it had withered and thinned and charred to a long black appendage.
CLICK CLICK
“Alfie, what is going on?” I hoped there was something in that monster before me, a piece of the Alfie I knew. Yet Alfie looked at me, unblinking.
Unknowing.
CLICK
That was when he lost the last of his grip.
It was like watching a movie in slow motion. He fell humbly, gracefully, his eyes never leaving my face. In fact, I swore I saw him smile.
Another electric jolt shivered its way up my spine.
SPLAT
Alfie lay on his back, his feelers and limbs wiggling madly, then he went still. Blood leaked out from a hole on his head, a deep cobalt blue.
The crowd was screaming. They were scrambling and stumbling against each other, pushing back like an enormous tidal wave. The cops had regained their nerves; they were calling for order and for everyone to get back to their houses.
As for me, I couldn’t think. I stared down at Alfie’s corpse for what seemed like hours. The crowd finally dispersed, then the police, then the paramedics came and took the body away in an ambulance painted with black and gold.
Then I sat down on my bed and watched the sky. The birds chirping outside, the way the clouds swam lazily across the azure ocean—everything was dead. Broken.
All I could see in my mind’s eye was Alfie: his serene smile, his fall from grace, the way his head shattered on the ground. Over and over, an eternal movie repeating in my mind.
Day turned into night. I didn’t know how much time had passed. Neither did I want to eat, drink, use the bathroom or sleep. I was too busy wandering the deep forest of my thoughts, and every tree was engraved with Alfie’s face.
“Skye?”
I turned to face Emily and my dad. When did they come home?
“I…”
Emily placed a warm hand on my shoulder. “We know. The Willows told us.”
Her eyes welled in tears.
“Skye…” she said quietly. “I am really sorry.”
I turned away. I didn’t feel like talking.
“Skye, listen.” Emily cupped my hands into her own. “What happened to Alfie isn’t entirely your fault.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I don’t want you to blame yourself, Skye.”
I raised an eyebrow. Or what was left of it.
“How do you know?”
“Because…” Emily hesitated. She nodded to my dad and he made himself scarce.
She reached in her pocket and pulled out a medallion.
My heart stood still.
Carved into the medallion was a very familiar scarab with bulging eyes. Again something clicked into my brain, like a key turning into a lock.
Then it hit me.
I saw it on Alfie’s arm!
“Because…”
A small smile stretched across her face. Like she was waiting forever to tell me the good news.
“I know your real mom.”
SK

I (41f) want to break up with him (32m) but every time I’m close he starts getting all nice and lovey. We’ve only been together 3 weeks and he already loves me. Gets upset if I don’t say it back or won’t say it first. I say it even though I don’t love him.
He does hurt me though. He bites me so hard I get big bruises. My whole lower body is covered. He also squeezed and pinched my nipples and breasts so hard they bruise. Big bruises around both nipples. I’ve told him multiple times to stop and he keeps doing it. Sex is so painful because he’s too rough with his hands in my vagina. I’ve asked him to stop that and he won’t.
Last weekend my lady parts hurt so badly I told him I didn’t want to have sex for a few days. He proceeds to just keep touching me and trying to have oral. Later that day after he left he kept calling and texting trying to make me jealous that women were hitting on him. He came back over without telling me, told me he was spending the night again, then he “jokingly” tried ripping off my pants so hard he was hanging me upside down and bruised my foot trying to pull my pants off. It was scary and I was saying no no no no please no while I was holding onto my pants to keep them on and he kept trying until I started screaming. Then he stopped and said he was just joking.
He also gets mad at me and makes me feel bad about little things like not answering the phone, not finishing a sentence, or just not doing what he asks. He mad me feel bad for telling him he’s hurting me. He constantly teases me, far more than any man has ever teased me. He’s good at everything and I suck. I can’t drive, I can’t cook, the movies I like suck, I can’t express my feelings in a way that satisfies him. I end up feeling bad about myself.
Typing all this out I know I don’t like any of it but there’s a part of me that’s scared to break it off. Like I’m the only girl who won’t like that behavior and some other lucky girl will get the guy I threw away. I’m scared I’ll regret it. I’m scared he’ll tell everyone lies about me.
He’s been staying all weekend at my house every weekend since we started dating. Yesterday he was supposed to come over but my stomach was on fire with fear. I just can’t have him here. So now is my opportunity to break it off because he’s pissed he can’t come over.
Im scared to break it off. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

Not a popular device as the F3 or the X3 but the update was available since yesterday for Europe, here's what i've noticed so far:

• You can now enable the side bar to quickly open apps as floating, it's not something new in MIUI14 but it wasn't possible for this phone before at least in my ROM.
• You can change the back icon color on the same menu you change the size of the icon, if the icon pack allows it of course, i'm using the icons of the "Global Version 12" theme(someone mentioned it on reddit before) and it allows you to change the color so you can kind of mix it with the background, as a pseudo material you icon, if the colors available mix it well with your background.
• In the connection menu you can now specify a private DNS(not new to MIUI 14 again but new to this phone).
• The battery menu now shows the screen time, something i've seen on other phones but wasn't available on this one.
• It doesn't look like you can uninstall the wallpaper carrousel and the game center(i guess you can use ADB), which is kind of ironic since with this ROM was supposed to be easier to decrease bloat, the app vault was also installed but it looks like it can be removed, i'm not sure what it is anyway.
• When you pull the recent apps you had the option to open a "manage applications" menu, this was replaced with the Game Center.
• As other people have mentioned, the new music controls on the notification menu look really bad, sometimes you can't see the controls or the name of the music.
• Sometimes the animations become a bit stuttery and it goes away if i lock the screen and unlock it again and i don't even use 90hz, maybe it's something it will go away but it's the most annoying thing so far.
• It got the March Security update.

So not really that much new stuff, the floating bar is kind of cool but that was something that already existed before MIUI 14 but wasn't enabled for this phone, the only thing that worries me is this slight stutter but i was playing with the phone right after it updated so maybe it was still working stuff in the background and it will go away, i don't think the whole thing of extracting text from the Gallery app is here but maybe i missed it.

Hey everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask questions. I got approved for Wegovy, and after a month of back and forth my insurance approved it. My current weight is 244lbs. My significant other also got approved, both for pre-existing conditions alongside BMI. We were going to start at the same time. I hope you don't mind, but I have all sorts of questions-
Wedding, Dentistry, and the Gym
I have two upcoming things in the next month or two that I have some concerns about, but I also don't want to delay anymore. The first is a wedding, I'm nervous about getting sick at the wedding as I'd be about a month in. Is that a realistic concern, or is .25 leading into .5 not too bad for most?
I'm also a bit nervous about an upcoming molar dental extraction I need to do, as it requires a little bit more than the usual pull. I saw one person mention something about feeling sick when brushing her teeth, is that sort of thing normal, or should I not sweat dentistry as it doesn't relate to food?
Also, last year I was going to the gym a bit, and was seeing results, but after getting sick the fat loss I had just came right back. I want to go back to the gym, but I'm curious about what to expect. Is it realistically possible to stay on top of calories, protein, and nutrition? My goal last year was weight training for weight loss, and to up my metabolism, but if I'm not getting enough protein and calories I worry muscle gain will be very difficult if not impossible.
Diet and Fluids
What to expect with fluids? Currently like drinking lower end calorie soft drinks (~70 calories a can), will I no longer be able to stomach that? What about juice, almond milk, and stuff like that?
Will I be able to enjoy normal foods anymore, when I'm already a very picky eater? Can I still have pizza? Hamburgers? Chicken Nuggets? Mac & Cheese? etc. What about hot dogs, or bratwurst?
I also worry about a go-to favorite of mine currently, chinese food, and stir fry. I would hope stir fry would be okay, as it requires only a little oil to fry up, but not a whole lot, though can be sauce heavy?
Does an occasional ice cream or milkshake treat make you sick?
Health Risks
Has anyone on this subreddit so far had to quit due to pancreatitis, or is it incredibly rare? I've read some things about kidney damage and failure as well, due to dehydration. Can it be hard to even keep water down?
Does Wegovy nausea typically result in throwing up, or do you just feel like it?
I've also recently been prescribed a CPAP machine, anyone have experience with CPAP and Wegovy? Any issues with all that air pressure while sleeping?
Any other tips for success, or things you wished you knew? Would really appreciate any help as I am a bit nervous, but really feel like I need to take this next step to get control of my weight especially after the past couple of years. Thank you!

DONT TRY TO SEND A PM BEFORE YOU POST IN THIS TOPIC - WILL NOT DEAL WITH YOU!

Well reddit i need some help with my pc. I bought it two years ago and because it wanted to know how good it was, i did a benchmark today:
MSI MPG Z390M GAMING EDGE AC (MS-7B50) Performance Results - UserBenchmark
As you can see my cpu is rly bad in comparrison. Should i buy a new one? The i7 9700k would work with my motherboard. My other componnents seem rly bad too.
I am still able to play the games i want like Cyberpunk 2077 on maximum settings, so maybe it would just be wasteful. What do you guys think?

Previous.
Captain Vohr’Doe walked along the hall of the crew quarters, hoping that Kyle wasn’t in his ‘living’ room; there was something he had delivered to his equipment room that she really wanted to see, but didn’t think it would be prudent to simply ask to see it. As Captain, she had - of course - been given an inventory of the items he had delivered, and while a lot of it seemed to be a bit much - like the meat smoking pit, along with the filters to keep his room safe - there was one thing that she couldn’t quite put in that same category, regardless of how much upkeep it would need.
She very well could have put in a call to security to find his location, but she knew he would be either in his ‘room’, or in his ‘equipment room’, and it was good to take a walk among your crew from time to time; let them know that you don’t think of yourself as better than them. So it was that she greeted the members of her crew that she passed, taking the time to speak to them, and make sure they were doing well. And so it was that she finally made it to his room, and pushed the call button. After waiting a few moments, she pressed it again. Finally, she decided he wasn’t in his room, and turned to head towards the elevator to take her down. However, she had barely taken three steps when he turned the corner, prompting the slightest twinge of disappointment.
He was dressed in a black silk shirt, with a pair of pants that were made to have lots of room in the legs. The waist obviously fit him, and yet, the legs themselves seemed to be made for someone much larger than himself, as his legs had plenty of space to move around inside the pants. They also had a peculiar color scheme, as the left half was all black, and the right half was a deep, vibrant red. There were pockets about halfway down the legs, with metal chains hanging on them. She could also see that he was barefoot, and while there was no rule saying he had to, she was aware that his people usually wore shoes when out in public. But, he wasn’t hurting anyone - namely himself, in this instance - so she didn’t bother about it. He was also still wearing the sun-shades that he had on before, and she had to wonder as to why seeing as she had read that Sol was just as bright on Earth as the lights on the ship. Perhaps the mahn’ewe operate under dimmer lighting? Two years would be time enough to shift someone’s vision.
He had in his left hand his tablet, his face pointed entirely at the screen, and in his right was a plastic container, that was square-shaped, with rounded corners, the base of which was the size of his whole palm, and which flared out about an inch along its length upwards. It was mostly full with what appeared to be tiny, tan-gray seeds, and even as she watched, Kyle lifted it to his mouth and simply stuck his tongue out, using his saliva to adhere the seeds to his tongue. He was just lowering his hand - having retracted his tseed-covered tongue back into his mouth - when he stopped, and she got the feeling that he’d finally looked up, and saw her; which was solidified when he said,
“Hey, Cap’n; fancy seeing you down here.” She didn’t miss the note of trepidation in his voice.
“Well,” she began, “I actually came down to see you. Do you have a minute to talk?”
“Of course,” he replied, “Here, or…?”
She smiled, and said,
“Your room should do fine, unless you wish to go somewhere else?”
“Oh,” he replied, somewhat flustered, “No, my room’s fine; just a second…” and he made his way over to his door, opening it for her.
And upon the door opening, she was at first confused, as she was confronted by a wood-paneled wall about six feet from the door. Then she realized that these were the crates his things had been shipped in. He must have had more things in them than she’d originally thought, as he had yet to unpack it all even after three Standard days aboard this ship. However, when she stepped in, and walked around the corner around ten feet to her left, she saw an entirely different sight.
To her right was a 7’-tall entertainment center, about 5’-wide, and a monitor inside that took up the entire space from left to right, though it was only about 4’-tall. The top of the monitor was about level with the top of her chest, with a shelf above it that was filled with various personal effects. Most all of these were variations of a winged lizard that looked remarkably like the reptile aspects of the drahk’mihn, not least of all because they were all different colors.
There were what looked like egg-shaped geodes, the upper ‘faces’ missing about a quarter of the ‘shell’ the insides each dyed one of the six primary and secondary colors, with a miniature lizard curled protectively around its corresponding color. There was a timer-glass - the bottom bulb containing red sand - with the side ‘pillars’ that connected the ‘cage’ holding the glass center steady being one of these creatures on each side, mirrored by identical creatures on the ‘bottom’, relative to whichever was on the top at any given turning. There was a large figurine that was of a multi headed example of these creatures, one red body, with multiple other colored heads, one being red, but the others being blue, green, black, and white. Everywhere she looked, there were figurines, pictures, and posters - held to the wall with magnets, it looked like - all of them containing these creatures in some setting or another. Just as she was about to comment on them, a light turned on on a nearby table, and she looked in over to see a white orb made of plastic. In certain parts, there was obviously more plastic layered than in others, creating ‘shadows’ across its surface. As she studied it, the ‘shadows’ seemed to look almost like craters.
“Earth’s moon?” she asked, turning to look at Kyle, who - she just noticed - wasn’t looking at her. In fact, he seemed to be looking for something. As she watched, he scanned his room, looking over every surface, and even under chairs, and in the space under his desk in the corner where his legs would go. He didn’t seem to notice she said anything, taking several seconds before he turned, looking at her with a slightly surprised look on his face, saying,
“Hmm?” distractedly, until his mind seemed to catch up to what she’d said, as he followed that up with, “Oh, right; yeah, that’s Luna. It was only ‘illustrated’ to show the light side, so the other side isn’t ‘stenciled’ to show the cities on the dark side.”
“Oh,” she replied, “I didn’t realize that Earth’s moon was tidally locked... Well, I can certainly understand the sentiment: no matter how much I enjoy being out among the stars, surveying new plants, my home planet will always hold a special place in my heart.”
“Pur’Rosse?” he asked politely.
She gave a small laugh, and replied,
“No, I was born on one of our colony planets: Clash’Rept. It’s not very large, or particularly important, but it’s home… If I’m interrupting your search for something…?” she finished, gesturing for him to continue. She saw him go a little red, as he sheepishly chuckled, and it was at that moment that she noticed something else: while he was still wearing his glasses, the lenses were now completely clear, with no tint at all. It seemed that he noticed what she was looking at, as he went slightly cross-eyed, then gave another small laugh.
“Just a second.” he replied with a slight smile, as he finished giving his room a quick sweep, then entered his connected bathroom. After about a minute in there, he stepped out, took off the glasses, and set them down on his bedside table. “A week was more than enough time for the A.I. studying the things I sent back to be able to reverse-engineer their cloaking devices, and then upgrade it. With that, comes the tech to detect them, if they happen to try sneaking up on me again.”
The fact that the mahn’ewe had access to invisibility technology wasn’t lost on her, however, she chose a more… intelligent question to ask.
“And you expect them to come here?” she asked with a slight smile.
He looked a bit ‘on-the-spot’, and gave a smile of his own.
“Well,” he replied, “Not exactly ‘expect’, but let’s just say I’m acutely aware of the possibility.”
She nodded, conceding the point, and decided that was a good enough explanation, so she changed the topic.
“And what are these?” she asked with a slight smile, “They look vaguely familiar.”
Kyle smiled at this, and he replied in a genuinely happy tone,
“Dragons; they can be found in the mythos of just about every human culture in history. They can range from benevolence, to malicious, and everything in between. They usually have control over some element, from fire, to ice, to lightning. Some legends have them controlling every element, or just being all-powerful… Plus, they just look cool.” he finished excitedly.
“Well,” she replied in a slightly amused voice, “I have to agree with you, there.” finishing with a light chuckle.
The conversation seemed to stall there, and Kyle was the one to broach the subject.
“So, you wanted to talk to me?” he inquired, with a note of trepidation creeping back into his voice.
“I did.” she replied, with a gentle firmness; she didn’t want him to feel more threatened than he already - obviously - was, “It’s come to my attention that you haven’t been interacting with the ship beyond your two rooms, and that you give the most minimalist of replies when addressed by your fellow crew members. And while there’s no rule that you have to interact with the crew, I’ve been informed that you haven’t even been to the cafeteria to eat. Obviously, I have no problem with you having your own food and cookware,” here she gestured to the air filter hanging over a stovetop/oven in the corner, “But it’s starting to unnerve the crew a bit. You must understand how it looks to someone on the outside: all anyone is aware of is that you’re a Class 12 aggressor. No one knows why you’re classified as such, and I know you don’t want to tell the story to anyone else; hells, I doubt you would want me telling the story on your behalf.
“So the only thing they have to judge you off of is the official Federal rating on you, and your behavior you exhibit in front of them. Now, I’m not asking you to spend all of your free time fraternizing with everyone you see. However, if you could just start by going to eat with everyone else - perhaps go down to the gun range? - I’m sure that you can meet new people, who simply want to know you… I read your psych report: I know what you went through as a child. And while I can’t guarantee that no one on this ship will bring back memories of the tormentors of your childhood, I can guarantee that the majority will leave you pleasantly surprised,”
If what she’d learned from her interactions with the suun’mahs, and the kanfi’doe - not to mention Kah’Ri - was anything to judge by, then he was very clearly expressing guilt, with his head dropped, and him seeming to be unable to make eye contact. Finally he broke the silence, looking at her sheepishly, saying,
“How far d'you think I can push the ‘unpacking my massive amount of personal items’?” with a shy smile on his face.
That drew out a genuine laugh from her, and she smilingly replied with,
“I think you’ve pretty much used up that time. I’m sure we could pass it off as the only reason you’ve been so reclusive, but it won’t work for very much longer.”
Kyle gave a resigned sigh, and in a matching voice said,
“Alright, I’ll go out more besides, you’re right about the gun range: I’ve only ever shot any guns once, when a… an acquaintance brought his pistol and rifle on a camping trip. I was invited to go to this National Park by some people at work, and I didn’t have a really good reason to refuse… Anyway, I really do have a few more things to do in my equipment room, though; so, would tomorrow be okay?”
She smiled at this, and said,
“That would be acceptable, thank you.” she didn’t want to end on this note, however, so she cast her mind around for anything to talk about, and her mind latched onto something,
“What was that that you were eating when you were in the hallway?” she asked, gesturing to the plastic container he’d set down on his desk.
He smiled at this, and brightly replied,
“Oh, those’re sunflower seeds; well, sunflower kernels seeing as they’ve already been shelled.” and here, he walked over to a cabinet that was used for storing utility items, which did have a few cleaning supplies in the bottom, but the shelves were filled with snack foods. From one shelf at about his shoulder, he pulled an unopened, identical container, and tossed it to her. Having removed the plastic film around the edge of the lid, she opened it, and - mimicking Kyle - she stuck her tongue into the mass of kernels.
The kernels - themselves - had a light, almost bland taste to them, but in a good way. There was a definite taste to them, and not so little that she actually needed so many at a time, but also not so strong as to be overpowering. It was very much something that she could eat if she was feeling ill, and having trouble keeping down more rich flavored food. Plus, the salt was applied in such amount as to enhance the flavor, and not to overpower it. She couldn’t find anything wrong with it. However, one thing occurred to her, somewhat belatedly.
“Are you sure this is safe for me?” she asked with a small smile.
“Yeah,” he answered, smiling, “Kay’Eighty’s already gone through the medical records of the different species, at least, what’s available to the wider public. There’s not really much that we can eat that other species can’t, and there’s not really much that you couldn’t eat, anyways.”
“Well,” she began with a slight laugh, “That’s good to know… Speaking of Kay’Eighty, may I meet her?”
“Of course.” he replied, and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small blue box, that soon morphed into a foot-tall, human-shaped ‘robot’; though, ‘android’ would probably be a more fitting descriptor, at this point.
“Hello Captain Vohr’Doe,” she said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Captain Vohr’Doe smiled down at the tiny person, and replied,
“And you, as well. How are you enjoying your stay here; is there anything I can do to make your time here more…” She wasn’t quite sure what she wanted to say here: ‘inclusive’? ‘Enjoyable’? Whatever she wanted to say, it seemed that Kay’Eighty understood, as she responded with a polite smile, and to say,
“Thank you, Captain, but I have everything I need, supplied to me by the humans. All I need - really - is material to feed my nano-forge in the off chance that I were to lose any bots, for whatever reason, and - again - I have more than enough in storage.”
Not wanting to overstay her welcome, she decided to leave them to whatever they needed to do. So with farewells all around, she took her leave, carrying the container of sunflower kernels that Kyle gave her.
================
Ah’Sheen hated being so small, at times. At only a foot tall - or two feet long on all fours, and counting their tails - the miu’alfar were the smallest sapient species in the known galaxy. Though, it wasn’t the Federation - in and of itself - that made it a problem, as there were all sorts of workarounds that the Federation went out of its way to implement that were to the benefit of the smaller species. But in every civilization, there were always the extremists. People who thought themselves superior to others for whatever reason, and thought that gave them the right to bully others. And that led to ‘trickle-down’ bullying, which led to her current situation.
The three rahv’oyeck that had been harassing her had been content to hurl insults at her, mocking her for being so small, even though the rahv’oyeck didn’t grow taller than two feet, themselves. But when she’d turned the corner into the connecting path - on a street it would be referred to as an ‘alley’, and in this case, wasn’t covered by the security cameras - her vision went completely dark, as one - or all - of them manipulated the light from her eyes. Unfortunately for her, she had been close to the edge when this happened, and her momentum couldn’t be stopped so suddenly, as she’d sped up to try to get away from them. This led to her falling the ten feet to the floor below. Luckily, her people could survive greater falls with minimal injury; it didn’t mean it didn’t hurt, though, as she rolled into a sitting position, a bit winded from the impact.
Of course, this led to a cacophony of laughter above her, which quickly came down to her level, accompanied by the flapping of their wings. She heard the female of the group talking, first.
“Wow” she said in amused awe, “You made her eyes into mirrors! How’d you do that?”
The one to her left - a male - replied in a smug voice,
“Yeah, my dad taught me about that: basically, you just have to reflect all the light from a surface, and it makes a mirror; takes a lot of focus, though.”
“So,” said the one in front of her, a male, “Where were you heading, rodent?”
“Please,” she replied, “Leave me alone; I won’t tell anyone, just let me go.”
“I don’t know,” the one who was apparently blocking her vision said with vindictive pleasure, “We were on our way to lunch, and I’m thinking you might just make a tasty meal.”
There was laughter, then the female said,
“She may be small, but I don’t think you could finish her by yourself.”
“Oh, didn’t you know?” he asked, “Rodents have collapsible spines; I bet I could swallow her whol-rgck!”
His voice cut off into a choking sound, as at the same time, her vision came back. The first thing she saw was the two rahv’oyeck who were directly in front of her, and to her right; both of whom were staring - with their beaks wide open - at something above them all, and to her left. Looking in that direction, she saw Kyle, and an instinct to run and hide flashed up inside of her at the sight of him.
The first thing she noticed was his face, which was twisted into a pained-looking rictus, a bastardization of the smile he gave to Kah’Ri at lunch the other day. Firstly, there were too many teeth visible; as well as his gums. And though she couldn’t see his eyes, she was instinctively sure that there was zero amusement behind that ‘smile’. Backing this up was his right arm extended all the way out to his side, who’s hand was currently wrapped around the throat of the rahv’oyeck who had used his Gift on her. The fingers on the end of his wings were scrabbling at Kyle’s hand, trying to free himself, but Kyle’s fingers might as well have been made of steel, for all the good it was doing him; he finally settled on hanging on to Kyle’s hand to relieve the pressure on his throat, which Kyle didn’t seem to be squeezing enough to entirely cut off his air, though his hand was visibly shaking from the obvious restraint. His voice reflected that almost-painful restraint of rage as he - in the icy voice of a psychotic murderer trying to sound innocent - said,
“You know, I thought I heard the squawking of a bunch of seagulls, but turns out it was actually laughter. And so I thought to myself, ‘Hey, I like to laugh; maybe these seagulls’ve got some jokes.' So I decided to come and find out: What’s so funny?”
The other two just stood there, beaks still open, and a tremble now running through their bodies as they stared on in obvious terror; here was the Class 12 ‘beast’ Kor’Rah was referencing the other day. After a few seconds of silence, Kyle gave a casual flick of his wrist, sending the bird in his hand fluttering behind him, and showing a supreme lack of concern for the life he was literally holding in his hand just moments before. At the same time, he bent forward, reaching out towards them. The other two obviously - along with her, she had to admit - thought that he was reaching for one of them, as they both fell over themselves trying to scramble away from his outstretched hand. However, he surprised them all by grabbing Ah’Sheen around her waist in an unexpectedly gentle - while expectedly firm - grip, and lifting her up, placing her on his left shoulder as he straightened up. Looking down at the two in front of them, he said in soft growl,
“You know, humans have two rules -” here, he looked to the side, and his voice momentarily took on a bit of a distracted tone, “Actually, humans have a lot of rules - but two main ones that you’re dangerously close to breaking unforgivably. First and foremost being: don’t mess with my friends.” and here, he walked past them, leaving them staring up at him. She didn’t want to seem like she was making fun of him, but she felt he was leaving himself open to it from the other three there, so she sent a tendril of thought to his mind, which he accepted, and through it she said,
‘You said there were two, but you only told them one.’
She felt the smirk he was suppressing, and he said back,
‘I know, but there’s always one who has to be Billy Badass.’
Almost as if on cue, they heard a rather hoarse voice behind them say,
“Yeah, and what’s number two?”
Kyle stopped dead, and slowly turned, as she felt him let the rage bubble back up to the surface. She felt vindictive smile crack his face, and he practically growled through clenched teeth,
“Fuck around, and find out.” and with that, he took a quick, hard step forward, causing all three of them to scramble around, and take to the air, flying in the complete opposite direction. Kyle gave a snort of laughter, and continued on the way he was going, which turned out to be to the elevator. He was about to push one of the buttons, when he froze, seeming to think of something.
“Um,” he began, “Where were you going, by the way?”
She gave a slight laugh, and said,
“Well, I was going to lunch; why, where are you going.”
“Oh,” he replied, “I was heading to my equipment room, but I can drop you off on my way.”
“Oh,” she said, “Well, if you’re not going, then I can wait for a while: they mentioned that they were heading to lunch, as well, and I don’t want to deal with that. You can set me down here: I’m sure they won’t try anything, again.”
But Kyle was still for a few seconds, before he pushed the button to take them to the equipment rooms.
“I got something that can hold you over till dinner.” he said as the doors began to close.
She wanted to decline - not because she was afraid of him, but because she didn’t want him to go through any undue effort on her part - but she thought better of it; if for no other reason, than to ‘force’ him to put her down would be to take another fall similar to the one she just took earlier, and she didn’t want to go through that again. Soon enough, they were in front of his equipment room, and he motioned for it to open, and she was confronted with a wall of wooden crates. Kyle didn’t seem to be bothered by it, as he turned to his left, and walked around the corner, revealing a mostly clear room. He had obviously put his stuff away, seeing as the room was mostly clear, with the only thing out of the ordinary was a big rectangular metal box in the far corner, and a bunch of large canvases on the walls. The canvases were all of various things, from a dark forest, to nebulae, to a ‘cartoon’ tree, with a large gray trunk, and purple leaves, with golden light shining through the cracks.
Kyle walked over to the box, setting her - along with his sunglasses - down on the desk that came with the room beside the box, he opened said box, pulling out two cylindrical plants with long, green leaves. Each was individually wrapped in plastic, and were quite obviously frozen. As he walked over to one of the closets that lined the walls, he opened it to reveal a large cooking pit. He walked a bit further in, and picked up a smaller pit, one that was just barely taller than herself. He set this one beside the larger one, filled it with lumps of what appeared to be coal, and set it alight. He reached up, and turned on what she took to be an air filter, judging by the sound of an air-intake. As he stepped back, her eyes moved past him, to the spot that was hidden from her view before, as this was on the other side of the box ‘wall’ he seemed to have purposely constructed, and she couldn’t help but gasp when she saw it.
There, to the right of his door - though you wouldn’t know that walking in, obviously - was a 10’-tall tree, and as unexpected as a tree on a ship would be, it was what the tree bore that was the real shocker. For all over it, from the highest branches, growing from vines that wrapped their ways around the trunk, to other, thicker vines that grew around the base, sprouting large green fruits, some of them even bigger than she was, as well as a yellow-tan plant that had almost sharp-looking leaves sprouting out of the top. Kyle followed her gaze, and in a smiling voice, said,
“Oh, yeah; that’s my fruit tree.” he said, as he walked over and picked her up, taking her over to the tree, “Those are apples: ‘red crisp’, there, and those are called ‘granny smith’. The red ones are sweeter, while the green ones have a more tangy bite to ‘em. Those’re ‘oranges’, and the larger ones are called ‘grapefruits’; ‘mangoes’, ‘pomegranates’, ‘peaches’, and ‘bananas’. On the trunk are red and green ‘grapes’, ‘strawberries’, ‘blackberries’, ‘raspberries’, ‘blueberries’, ‘passionfruit’, and ‘dragonfruit’. Down there are ‘watermelons’, and ‘pineapples’. Just a small sample of the fruits from Earth, but the ones I’m most familiar with.”
She was stuck staring in awe, and finally found her voice enough to ask,
“How are there so many different fruits on one tree?”
“Well, before the scientists moved on to manipulating the human genome, they started with plants. Besides making actual hybrids - like, mixing the qualities of multiple fruits together - they made hybrid plants wherein they grow multiple different instances of fruits, or vegetables, like this one.” and with this, he reached out, and pulled a large bunch of the ‘strawberries’ from the vines, using his shirt as a makeshift ‘basket’.
He then took her back to the desk, and set her down, then returned to the opened closet and retrieved a machine that looked like some kind of food processor: it was a large pitcher that sat in a smaller machine-base, with four small blades at the bottom of the pitcher. After he set that down on the desk, and plugged it in, he took the remaining leaves off of the strawberries, and dumped them - one by one as he finished with them - into the processor. Reopening the freezer, he scooped out some ice with a metal scoop, and filled the pitcher almost to the top. He then went over to another closet, and this one was more shallow - mostly a closet to hold coats - that had been converted into a liquor cabinet, stocked floor to ceiling with many different spirits of many different colors. He selected a clear bottle, and closed the closet, returning to the desk.
After he poured a measured amount into the pitcher, he put the lid on the top and - while holding it down, one finger hovering over one of the buttons, he looked over at her and said,
“This’s gonna be kinda loud.”
She covered her ears, and he pushed the button, activating the blades to begin pulverizing the contents of the pitcher. After almost a minute, the harsh crushing, grinding sound fell away, replaced by the loud wiring of mechanical parts. Kyle shut the machine off, and reached into a cabinet over the desk, pulling out two glasses, one several inches taller than the other. After he poured the delicious-smelling drink into the glasses, he handed her the smaller one, and she took an experimental sip: it was delicious., and she told him so.
After he had taken his own drink of the mix - and nodded his thanks to her - he reopened the box, this time reaching into the furthest-most left side, on the other side of the partition, where items that needed to be kept cold - but obviously not frozen - were kept, and pulled out a bowl with a lid on it. Looking over at her, he asked,
“How are you with… ‘jhode’yuus’, the drahk’mihn would call it; we call it ‘butter’ - at least, in English, we do.”
“That’s not a problem,” she replied, “Being a mammal, milk - and milk by-products - are easily digestible by herbivores; it’s the actual meat that we can’t process.”
“Cool.” was all he said, and proceeded to open the bowl, taking a plastic seal off the top. Out of the cabinet to the right of the one containing his glasses, he pulled a small rectangular box, from which he extracted two long sheets of some thin metallic material. He folded them in half long-ways, and cinched the ends together, the metal being extremely pliable. Taking a spoon out of one of the desk drawers, he then scooped a large dollop of the ‘butter’ into each ‘trough’ that he’d made, and opened the two containers, pulling out the vegetables inside, stripping the outer leaves from the seemingly now-thawed vegetables, revealing the yellow-white kernels that were hidden beneath.
“This’s called ‘corn’,” he stated, “More specifically, ‘corn-on-the-cob’. There are several ways to prepare corn, but by far the best way to do it is like this. You can boil it in a pot - sure - but I prefer to boil it in butter, on the grill.” and with that, he set each ‘cob’ of ‘corn’ on the bed of butter, closing the metal over the tops of each. He then took the metal-wrapped vegetables over to the pit, and set them on it, placing the lid back on the pit.
He came back, and sat down at the desk, taking a large - for her, anyway - drink from his glass, and she was suddenly struck by the silence. It occurred to her that asking ‘how have you been’ would be both hollow, and a bit invasive, seeing as they’d only met once. She looked up at him, wanting to say something, but still not knowing what to say, her mouth left slightly open. However, when she looked at him, she saw a strange smirk on his face, and before she could think of anything to say, he took the initiative, answering as if she’d asked a question.
“I’ve been good - well,” he said in a slightly distracted voice, “As good as can be expected, anyways. I’ve been mostly just unpacking; been doing that for the past three days. I haven’t encountered anyone tryin’ to mess with me, but I’m guessing that’s ‘cause they don’t wanna be killed - or eaten - by the ‘Class 12 monster’.” he finished with a smirk.
“Well,” she began in an almost flustered voice, “I’m sure that’s not…” she then thought better of her response, “Yeah, that’s probably it. There’s never been a Class 12 sapient species make it very long before driving themselves to extinction. People fear what they don’t know.”
“Yeah,” he replied easily, “I’m used to that. But we’re not really a ‘Class 12’ under most circumstances. I mean I’m sure you - as an expeditionist - know that a species isn’t rated on their everyday behavior, so much as their most extremes. And actually - for the most part - you’ll have to worry about humans trying to pet the various sapient races, as they’ll see them as just ‘too cute’.” he finished in an amused voice.
She hesitated for a moment, and found the courage to ask - albeit, in a timid voice -
“What… What made them classify you as a ‘12’, then?”
The look he gave her, it wasn’t anger; actually, it wasn’t anything. If she had to name the expression on his face, it would be ‘neutral’. However, there was a deepness to his eyes when he looked into hers, a dark pit of emotions that she felt could swallow her whole if she gazed too long into the abyss of his pupils. Then he blinked slowly, and that was replaced by a gentle sadness as he replied,
“Trust me, you don’t wanna know.” and though his voice had a note of that gentle sadness his eyes held, there was no anger, or offense; something happened on that ship that he knew would damage her. A notion crossed her mind then, of a temporarily insane example of the creature who wanted so badly to crush the life from the rahv’oyeck he held in his hand, with no filter, no control. A slight shiver went down her spine, and she gave a small nod of agreement. He gave her a gentle smile, and changed the subject.
For the next six Standard minutes, or so, they talked about their homes. He had given her his native language, stating it would be easier for them to speak in their own languages; he already had her’s, of course.
He told her about going camping back on Earth, the animals he saw, the wild apple tree he found, and even showed her photos on his personal communication device from Earth. And she was in awe at the beautiful landscapes he showed her, from green clearings in the middle of a vibrant forest, to a lake with a horizon of hills behind it, and even some animals, a lot of which looked unfamiliar, though she did see a black animal version of a galan’zhee. It was about as tall as the grass around it, and she was amazed when he told her that the grass was level with his own head. She wondered how he could take that picture with such a large apex predator looking at him - as it was in the picture - and she was shocked when he told her that all you have to do with 'black bears' is to make a lot of noise, and make yourself look big; that for all the damage they could do, they’re really just big balls of fear.
From there, he inquired about her home life, and so she told him about the colony planet she was born on. It was not really much different than the pictures on his device, with the notable exception that there were no predators larger than an adolescent miu’alfar, and those are very skittish as it is, avoiding any life forms bigger than themselves. There was also the notable difference - from Moor’Ess - of there being a definite day/night cycle, and how they didn’t need sunglasses to operate in brighter lights. He informed her that he wore them to protect his eyes, and that at home, he would block all windows from allowing natural light in.
It was during this that something from before occurred to her.
“Say, Kyle: did you really mean what you said to them, back there?” she asked a bit timidly.
Kyle scowled at the walled-off door, as if they were waiting outside.
“Damn straight.” he practically growled, then his expression cleared into one of slight confusion, and he looked over at her, saying, “Wh- um… Just so we’re like, on the same page here: what-uhh, what part did you mean?”
She laughed a little at this, and with a bit more confidence said,
“The part where you called me your friend.”
Kyle’s eyes opened a bit wider at that, and she got the distinct impression that he’d been caught off guard with that, but instead of trying to backtrack on it, he simply asked,
“Well, shouldn’t I?” with a funny little smile on his face.
“Well, no-” she replied, slightly flustered, “I mean, yes, I just… I mean, we just met; I didn’t want to assume… I mean…” she trailed off, not really knowing what to say. But to her relief, Kyle’s laugh that followed was one of polite amusement.
“It’s okay, I understand… Nah, humans are a social species, even introverts like myself. If there’s no reason *not* to be friends with someone, we can usually ‘buddy up’ fairly quickly. Add in the fact that we’ve been dreaming of ‘aliens’ since before we had radio waves, and most people out here’ll be hard pressed to find an enemy in humans. Not to mention that you all look like some kind of animal from back home, and yall’ll be havin’ to beat humans off with a stick; metaphorically speaking, of course…. Mostly, anyways…” to which they both had a good laugh.
Finally - though she barely noticed the time go by - he went to the pit and took the corn from the heat, and put the lid back on, closing the door behind him.
“I’ll deal with it all later,” he said with a small laugh, the metal-wrapped corn being held in his shirt, like the strawberries had been.
She chuckled, herself, as he pulled plates from one of the cabinets over the desk. After setting each ‘cob’ of corn down, he took the handle of the spoon, and used it to tear open the metal wrapping, spilling out the corn ,as well as the ‘butter’ it was cooked in; and the smell was absolutely divine. After he had poured out the contents of each wrap, and they had allowed it a couple minutes to cool, they dug in, with Kyle providing another large dollop of butter on each plate, instructing her that the best way to eat it is to slather it with butter, which was easiest done by simple rolling the corn in the butter.
It was delicious; better than the smell, even. For several minutes, they were both silent, each enjoying the crisp, rich taste of the Earth food. Finally, they had cleared the cobs of all the edible kernels, and had also each taken a bit of time to gnaw on the film that surrounded said kernels, that had stayed stuck to the cob. Kyle then went over to the tree and collected a large bunch of fruit, consisting of a couple peaches, a bunch of red grapes, a bunch of blackberries, and a few strawberries. He took them over to the desk, collected a bowl from another cabinet, and after retrieving a knife from the desk, began cutting up the bigger fruits into smaller pieces, depositing them in the bowl. After he was done, he shook the bowl around, effectively stirring the fruit without any utensils. He then set the bowl down, and retrieved two forks from the desk. He set one down in front of her and - with a slight smile -asked,
“You okay with sharin’ a bowl with me, or would you prefer your own?”
She picked up the fork and - without a word - began spearing pieces of fruit. He gave a small smile at that, and she could have sworn she saw a bit of relief in that smile, but she was focused on eating her dessert. And it was delicious, as well.
Not that any of the fruit she was eating was necessarily better than any she’d eaten before, but it was all entirely new, and all delicious. She particularly liked the peaches, though calling them the ‘best’ was only possible by a small margin.
They wound up spending all day in his room, talking about their lives back home, their likes and dislikes, and generally just becoming friends. She was a bit surprised at how easy it was to talk to him, and the more she got to know him, the more she believed that she didn’t want to know why his race was a Class 12.
She also met the A.I. that had volunteered to work with him - she was not assigned to him, as the humans accepted their A.I. as equals, and didn’t treat them as simple computer programs. And she had to admit, Kay’Eighty was a very personable being, being just as emotive as any biological person she’d ever met.
They had a nice dinner in his equipment room, him grilling a steak on the smaller pit in his closet, along with some of the salad he’d made for her, consisting of what he called ‘lettuce’, ‘tomatoes’, ‘cucumbers’, slivers of ‘carrots’, and ‘croutons’, which were little squares of re-baked bread, which left them more crunchy than if it had simply been toasted. Once again, everything was delicious.
Finally, she began to feel the effects of having been drinking and talking all day, and began to feel drowsy. Upon noticing this, Kyle began cleaning up, then - more gently than before - lifted her to his shoulder, again, and as such, they left his equipment room. From there, he escorted her directly to her ‘living’ room, where he bid her goodnight, waiting to leave until the door closed behind her.

So many Movies we watch now come with black space at the top and bottom of the screen. TV’s should have a variable proportional zoom feature that you can adjust the zoom in both horizontal and vertical until the black space is gone. I realize this removes some of the far left and right of the movie. But I’m willing to sacrifice those edges to get a full screen top and bottom. Unless you can get the producers to release movies in the proper TV ratio instead of movie theater ratio. But I doubt that will ever happen.

Can someone explain to me why my midfielders are not helping me in the game by a lot? In a 433 formation with 3 CMs, TOTY Xabi Alonso in the LCM, Hero Yaya Touré in CM and Prime Gerrard in RCM they are not doing anything in pitch by AI neither defense or offense. My main problem is in Defense, while I am controlling my CB cause the opponent is near him, my CMs are just standing far away doing nothing. They are not covering passes, they aren't coming for help. Nothing at all. Well I know that I have to double press R1/RB to make my teammates mark, but this is so frustrating. Its impossible to cover pass, mark my opponents and checking if my double press R1/RB are doing their job at the same time. I dont know if you understand me but I am so tilted. Here are the custom tactics for each midfielder:
Xabi Alonso (Engine): Stay on the edge of box for Cross
Yaya Touré (Shadow) : Stay back while Attacking - Cover Center
Gerrard (Shadow) : Stay on the Edge of Box for Cross
My custom tactic defensive style is Balanced with 40 Width and 60 Depth!

SELF-LIT Pixels**
LG OLED TV is a joy to behold. Self-lit pixels allow truly spectacular picture quality and a whole host of design possibilities, while the latest cutting-edge technologies help deliver unprecedented levels of wonder. This is everything you love about TV - elevated in every way.
Infinite Contrast
Put simply, OLED has millions of self-lit pixels that can turn on and off to achieve perfect black and infinite contrast. That black is better than both mini-LED and LED TVs. So, it does not matter how many thousands of back-lights they have, LED TVs will still be in OLED shadow. 100%

Global testing agency Intertek has confirmed that LG OLED displays have 100% color fidelity. This means that the colors you see on the screen closely match the colors of the original image. So, everything you watch looks as the creator intended.
100% Color Volume
LG OLED TVs achieve full Color Volume thanks to the excellent color reproduction technology of LG TVs. With 100% Color Volume, LG OLED can express 100% of the DCI-P3 spectrum across a 3D color space that covers the TVs full luminance range. This means that colors remain vivid and lifelike with full saturation no matter how bright or dark the display.
OLED Cinema
LG OLED TV produces an award-worthy performance every time you watch thanks to its incredibly sharp picture. And with perfect black and 100% color fidelity, movies are seen how they are meant to be seen. Dolby Vision IQ & Dolby Atmos - Dolby Vision IQ intelligently adjusts picture settings based on content genre and ambient surroundings, while Dolby Atmos delivers multi-dimensional surround sound - a powerful combination that produces breathtakingly cinematic results.
FILMMAKER MODE
FILMMAKER MODE turns off motion smoothing while preserving the original aspect ratios, colors, and frame rates. This accurately delivers the directors original vision, so you experience the film the way they intended.
HDR 10 Pro
LG own dynamic range technology, HDR 10 Pro, adjusts brightness to enhance color, reveal every tiny detail, and bring lifelike clarity to every image - it also intensifies regular HDR content. Now all your favorite movies and shows will be more vivid and vibrant from beginning to end.
