Good evening, first time I've posted here so apologies if I'm out of line/in the wrong place. If there's a more suitable sub to post this, please, let me know.
After an absolutely miserable year of despair, tears, frustration and the usual, my beloved is finally in a position (this Friday) to sell her old family home (messy divorce, abusive relationship, something for another sub etc). We have had an offer accepted on a house together and plan on moving in with her two children at the start of next month, we've had this offer in and accepted since last June. I never knew it could take this long to be fair. The kids led to my train of thought, I think that's relevant at this point.
At the back end of last year we went through the misfortune of miscarriage and my life flipped. I went from being someone against/indifferent to the idea of having a child to an excited potential father to a devastated, broken man in the space of 11 weeks. It was hell and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If you've been through this, are going through this, or ever go through that. I'm always here for you and you're always in my thoughts. Honestly, if it affects you like it did me, seek help, I wish I had.
The question. Talking today with my new dog (I may have transferred something there?) I started thinking about the new house and what would happen to it when I shuffle off this mortal coil and get put in the bin? I'm a huge fan of my future wife's children but also I am a bit cynical and think that "They have a Dad that brings untold misery to her, and by default, my life. Should I leave them my half of the house? Shouldn't he be worrying about this?" I'm aware that makes me sound like a monster but also feel like my half of anything would probably be better s(p)ent elsewhere.
My immediate family don't need anything from me and I'm something of a charity cynic. The obvious answer to me is including something in my will bequeathing my share (after my future wife has passed etc) to a miscarriage charity but I'd feel happier (I'll be dead, I ain't feeling owt to be fair) knowing the money was going to people that needed it but also relevant to me
The question expanded on. Does that make me horrible? Do you have any constructive ideas?
Tl:Dr Am I a git for not knowing what to do?
Can someone spare a starveling cat?
Tall or short. Thin or fat.
Bald as a priest, or hair like a mat.
I need mad, bad little cat.
Sincerely,
The Forgotten Agent, Mister Bounce.
Donโt tell me. I donโt care anymore.
The world began to shudder the shell of chaos as temperament calmed. Small towns begin to positively reflect their notions towards a paced perseverance. Small businesses represented the conservative approach from congregate the cliques, to changing the times for a new atmosphere. The air is lighter, however people are beginning to dress to accommodate the times while remaining to hold on to their individualism. Will the town eventually become a city? Time will tell, only to adopt influences without the ability to impress for only ones self. A fallacy or a gambit of oneโs psyche.
I am a developer starting to work on a remake of the classic Sierra adventure game The Colonel's Bequest. I am looking for someone to create backgrounds for the game similar to those found in the sequel to the game The Dagger of Amon Ra.
To start with I would like to recreate this image here. Here is an example from the game The Dagger of Amon Ra to give an idea of the style I am looking for. example
My budget is $150 for the background with more to come in the future as the game progresses.
edit
The game will be made free to play and not licenced by the original creator. Similar to what AGD Interactive did with King's Quest 1 - 3 and Quest for Glory 2. It would also be prefered that the artist I pick will be available for future work. Once I get into the swing of things I would expect about one background a month. I don't have a specific count but the game 30 - 40 backgrounds.
At a certain point I will also be looking for character design that goes along with the style of the artist selected.
I would like to remake Colonelโs Bequest by Sierra but I am unsure where to start with legal questions. I am not looking to make money off of it but I would like to put up a site where I will give it away for free. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm in an unsafe environment and I am thinking about a career. I have a job search. People might remunerate, respect or admire me more if I had a pledge. I'm unlikely to have children, so I figured I'd posthumously give money to someone else. Vim has ICCF, but I'm interested in something specific to autism.
So I have been reading The King is Dead and have some questions.
Many people would make bequests in their will for Masses to be said after their death forever, or for all time (and similar wording). Sometimed it would be an annual bequest to a specific church or university to be continued forever.
What was the expiry date of those kinds of instructions?
When would those Masses have been stopped? I am assuming there isn't still a church somewhere saying Mass for Henry VIII's soul. And any ongoing payment of funds left to a university must surely have run out. Anybody know?

Been using a pretty nice ancient Yang's until I happened on a Valla's Bequest which intrigued me due to it's pierce when using strafe, it was also ancient, and even though it had a +vit stat rolled but despite that, on the numbers page, it seemed to be better than Yang's across the board.
Did a straight swap (neither had anything like cooldown to affect the core things like perma-Vengence etc) and took it into a T16 rift and the first thing I instantly noticed was my hatred emptied a lot quicker, which I didn't like one bit.
I had to compromise and swap out the Vengence run that adds 50% defence, to the +10 hatred rune to not run out.
The one plus side is that because I couldn't just hold down the strafe attack for what seems like forever, it forces me to stop refresh the momentum buff and my hatred at the same time.
I never needed to empty my hatred using Yang's but liked the fact that the reserve was there so I could circle strafe a target before it ran out.
Actually, I think I've answered my own question, if I'm running out of hatred on a single target or elite mob where I need to sustain strafe, then Valla's pierce doesn't do anything for me?
Edit: I guess my original question about possibly switching to VB is kinda moot now, got this reforging today. Good job too as I only had enough bounty mats for one attempt at reforging :D
Okay so damage healers pretty damn funny when you are pushing peoples shit in with a Damage Pip well a simple request before you go damage healer.
Let your team know, as going damage healer on anyone thats not Jenos Grover Corvus or Furia will be more or less to do their job as healers this doubly applies to Resonance Ying and Catalyst Pip as their healing is effectively gone. Like a Subservience Raum will get better heal numbers kind of low healing.
And even if your team decides to pin you with the healer job despite your warning then go ahead you given them a warning there is no reason to listen if you won't.
Oh and don't pick last and then tell your team unless there is already another healer that's just a dick move like not telling your team at all.
Anyways one man circle jerk over go ahead back to circle jerking.
