Just watched the two first anime episodes and i really love the story.

I was wondering how the story will depict Mongolia in the next chapters. Does it only show them as evil or do they go for a more nuanced look about not all mongolians being bad people?

Thanks for any answers.

This isn't necessarily about VtM specifically, but I think this sub is the one most fitted for this.

IRL i suffer(ed) from Moral OCD, I've always had bad thoughts about having committed awful actions, being evil or "wrong", and undeserving of good things.

After therapy and medication, i'm now much better at handling it. It is not a surprise, however, that the horror genere of "Self Loathing actualized" isn't something i enjoy much.

I haven't played VtM yet (even though i'm a TTRPG fan) because of this. Reading some of the lore online, roleplaying as someone having to deal with being an actual dangerous predator and having no choice on it is uncomfortable to me.

However... I do admit that a good part of why I don't like a lot of these types of horror is because of the uncomfortable feeling of an objective morality, of sorts. Like, the feeling that being alive is actively harmful to everyone else, and as such, ending one's life being the only reasonable solution. That you are indeed wrong no matter what, and that someone deserves no empathy because of it.

I don't know if that's the case in World of Darkness, but i was also wondering how other people(maybe even with OCD like myself) handle it.

To put it simply, my local ISP is kind of incompetent and their customer service is pretty bad, but i'm unable to change the ISP as it's tied to my building.

I determined that i have a Consumer Grade NAT, and even trying to access my router, i cannot port forward myself (the option is specifically removed in the control panel).

After calling my ISP, they were able to forward my localhost:30000 port themselves, but there have been another problem:

Regularly, my connection is unable to upload anything. I determined this because, while this happens on a discord call, i can perfectly hear the other users, while I cannot talk to them at all (even if the mic and everything works). Additionally, some websites, like Youtube, still work, while most others don't. This happens every 10 minutes or so, and stops happening after a few seconds of closing foundry.

Things i've tried:

- Disabling/Enabling UPnP

- Turning my firewall off and switching between public and private network

- Using both 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 as my DNSs

- Using a different port (30001) that is NOT forwarded, connecting my new port to a cloudflare tunnel with Zero Trust and a domain i've bought (players can access it, but the above still happens)

- Turning my PC and router on and off again multiple times.

I've been at my wit's end with this issue, and i hate hosting foundry on a web server as i hate using my browser for it, is there anything i can do?

So I have a few Original Characters i'm very fond of, I like thinking about small scenarios about them and stuff like that.

I've always had the idea of making some small stories about them, but i've always felt like *actually writing* the ideas in my head about them would drastically change how they sound and they will obviously not come out as I want. I'm also not that big of a fan of writing things (and obviously i don't plan on writing anything to be published, for example).

I know it's a silly problem, but I was just wondering if anyone else felt like this and if there was any advice to create stories about my characters while also struggling with writing.

Idea is: you deal enough X%hp damage in a timeframe (or similar condition) and the enemy starts bleeding, effectively they start creating a singed W trail except it's beneficial for you. While you stand in someone's blood, you gain bonus MS and some other buffs.

(x-post from carreerguidance)

I'm studying Information Engineering for Videogames and Virtual Reality in Italy. Despite the name of the degree, I'm not planning at all to work on gamedev, it's just what interested me more instead of Automation Engineering, which was the other IT related degree at the uni I wanted.

I'm in my first year. it's going ok, I got a few credits now. But observing the job market, and being a naturally anxious person, I'm very worried about spending 3 years and a bunch of money on a degree for a dying field. I know a lot of the AI fear is a bit overblown but I feel like everything is so volatile these days, and I have a huge fear of being homeless and without any job or security, or forced into a field I hate with my guts.

I'm also scared I made the wrong choice of a degree, I've been told the degree is still Engineering so it has good value, but I'm scared people think it's worthless because of the name including "Videogame and VR" in it.

So I was wondering if it was possible and if it was good to find a job for experience during the summer or before finishing the degree. I'm lurking on Italian job sites but I don't see many openings for internships and those I applied to didn't respond.

Any advice?

I might delete this later but whatever. CW war and political talk

I'm in one of my routine anxiety attacks about the future. After reading again about past wars and genocides, I'm extremely scared me or people around me will have to experience them again. I'm scared I'll have no choice but to either get killed or go to war, or see horrible things around me, and watching the state of the world makes this feel even more real.

Every time I experience something good, I think how worthless it might become in a future where everything is worse. Where war is near me. I don't know. It makes me feel sick.

I'm just very scared.
