Alexis scoffs at the mention of politics, not that he was entirely disinterested. Just the nature of 'having someone else beat around the bushes to tell your enemy that they're compromised' for you is an exhausting thought when energy could be spent breaking down their walls instead.

He understands the upsides of playing under the table; he just can't stand it when the other players kick him in the knee. Hells, he's involved in some for simply being bestowed the title. It felt somewhat reassuring to him that Haila wasn't simply an abused dog like him. But that's simply it; he hates being in games he's unaware of.

Though that fixed whatever curiosity he had at her statement earlier for needing her leashes, so she isn't exactly in the same spot as he is. Funnily enough, he isn't disappointed in that, like anyone would assume. It's just reassuring.

In an unfamiliar environment, he is being treated harshly by people he barely knows. This was easily worse than his woodwarder training days.

He scoffed again and let out a little chuckle after.

"Again with the teasing," he gave a half-smirk before pausing for a moment, "it would be a lie to say that none of them have been kind to me." His tone was somber, there was a moment.

"Some of them are just," he pauses again, "naive." He shrugs his shoulders as he tosses another treat into his mouth.

Closed Starter for @haila-wetyios

Alexis walks into a bar, swinging the doors open to enter the buzz of the many customers of varied backgrounds taking swigs of mead or any other alcoholic drink. He spots an empty seat by the bar, choosing to sit. He dons a cloak to lay low, but his Veira features would deem it useless, garnering side glances and whispers.

Before this, Y'shtola and him had a talk about the upcoming battle with a certain Garlean commander, she had hinted for him to gather info so that they may have an advantage when the time comes. Alexis refuses at first, knowing what he would encounter were he to contact his old handler again. The danger it puts them just to mention his mercenary history, the eyes that will be set upon them if he does accept this request.

The Miqo'te only stares at him, though blind she could always sense where he was, maybe it was due to his presence or the fact that he's loud when it comes to his steps.

"Fine," The Viera grunted walking away, accepting that he should at least be more useful than being the Scions' guard dog, now that he's received Hydaelyn's Blessings as the Warrior of Light.

Alexis contacted his handler through his own ways, told him what he needed and was told who to meet. His old handler warned him about the client before he left, that even the Scions should be aware of a bigger fish that could swallow them whole.

Here he was, ordering a mug before silently waiting for this 'dangerous' client. He's hoping that no one knows what he actually is, or who to be exact. He goes by 'Rhazt' for now, his old name from an old bygone era. There's an empty seat beside him, the tavern tonight seemed to be blooming in their business. Rather often, it's a good atmosphere to talk about secrets and other confidential matters. But always the risk of being intruded on.

Why You Shouldn’t Use GShade

Even after two years, I still see people using GShade and claiming it's a safe program, when it’s really not! There are already some older Tumblr posts about this, but I figured it’s worth refreshing the issue.

So please read this

Around two years ago, GShade’s developer added a code that could forcefully shut down your computer, not because of a bug or security measure, but on purpose. Why? Because he was mad that someone, specifically a 16-year-old made an alternative way to install GShade without using the official updater. Instead of handling it professionally, the dev decided to add a malicious code as "punishment" for anyone trying to modify GShade. That’s malware behavior.

(The first spark) ↓

At that time you also HAD to update Gshade to unistall it. ↓

(Developers "Apology") ↓

Now, you might be thinking, “Okay, but that was patched out, so it’s fine now, right?” Nope. Because the biggest issue isn’t just what he did, it’s the fact that he still thinks he did nothing wrong.

The Problem with Closed-Source Software Like GShade

GShade is closed-source, meaning no one except the developer can see or verify what’s actually in the code. This is a issue when dealing with someone who has already abused their control over the software.

With open-source programs (like ReShade), anyone can look at the code, verify it’s safe, and contribute to improving it. If something shady is added, people can catch it immediately. But with GShade, you have to just trust that the dev isn’t hiding anything malicious. And considering his past actions, that’s a massive risk to take.

Even if GShade is "safe" right now, nothing is stopping the dev from adding another backdoor, data collection, or something even worse in the future. Since no one can see the code, you wouldn’t know until it was too late. And given that he still defends his actions, there’s every reason to believe he’d do something similar again.

“But I’ve Never Had Issues With GShade”

A lot of people say GShade runs better than ReShade or has better effects. That might be true, but no amount of quality or convenience is worth putting your computer at risk. Just because something hasn’t caused problems yet doesn’t mean it won’t in the future. Malicious code can be slipped in at any time, and because it’s closed-source, no one would be able to warn you.

And honestly? You shouldn’t be using software made by someone who has already proven they’re willing to mess with your computer. If a developer intentionally inserts harmful code once, they can do it again.

What Should You Use Instead?

There’s a safe and open-source alternative: ReShade

It’s free and open-source, meaning the community can review the code to ensure it’s safe.

It can do almost everything GShade does, and while it may take some tweaking, it’s worth the effort.

Most GShade presets can be converted to work with ReShade with a bit of adjustment.

There are guides available to help transition from GShade to ReShade Here is one: How To Move To ReShade From GShade

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, it’s your computer, and you can do whatever you want with it. But if you choose to keep using GShade, just be aware of the risks you’re taking. The dev has already demonstrated that he’s willing to sabotage people’s computers when he feels like it. He still thinks he was justified. And because GShade is closed-source, he has complete control over what’s in the code without anyone being able to check.

So ask yourself: Is that really the kind of software you want to trust?

ReShade is a safer, open-source alternative that doesn’t put you at risk.
