#and 15!!!!!!! hp logos

[vicsy]

that Ferrari special livery truly lives up to HP sponsorship cause those blue elements on the car look like when a printer can’t print a certain color and substitutes it with this exact fucking shade of blue

[wafflesrisa]

Guys it’s the weight of the 15 HP logos they negate the power of 1000 upgrades

[alexturntable]

Ferrari putting 15 hp logos on the car and having it spin out 8 minutes into the first session is so on brand for hp making things that don’t work

[drivestraight]

i love how the number of HP logos on the ferrari car increases the more you look at it. from 9 to 13 to now 15. when carlos spins out in fp1 and his car is airlifted we’ll discover they slapped the HP logo on the floor as well

[nyoooooom-dot-com]

THERE ARE 15 HP LOGOS ON THIS CAR 💀💀💀

"Thus Lucifer - the spirit of Intellectual Enlightenment and Freedom of Thought - is metaphorically the guiding beacon which helps man to find his way through the rocks and sandbanks of Life, for Lucifer is the Logos in its fullness."

Melusine

Image © @tredlocity​

[Melusine is a French mermaid/fairy/dragon, who’s a surprisingly big deal considering her relative obscurity in the modern era. Multiple royal families throughout Europe claimed to be her descendants, including some big hitters like the House of Luxembourg and the House of Anjou. She was a major figure in the Middle Ages and into the Early Modern Era, inspiring poetry, art and heraldry. Martin Luther and Paracelsus wrote about her. She’s even the Starbucks mascot!

Melusine is often depicted as an ordinary mermaid, but there are two major alternate takes out there. Sometimes she’s depicted with the lower half of a dragon, not a fish, with wings and claws. Sometimes she has two tails, like the Starbucks logo. I wanted my melusine to combine these two designs, but could find nothing to my liking that had both of them. So I commissioned some art, and I think that @tredlocity​ did an excellent job.]

Melusine CR 14 LN Dragon This humanoid woman has green, scaly skin and draconic wings. From the waist down, she has two finned tails instead of legs. She wears a crown on her head.

Melusines are powerful draconic sorcerers of mermaid-like character, and they are so rare that many people think of them as a unique creature. Melusines live their lives in long alternating arcs, sometimes hiding from the world in a distant glen or ocean, and sometimes disguising themselves as humanoids in order to live among them. They desire to raise families and experience love, but have to abandon these families before their monstrous nature is found out. Most melusines make their partners swear oaths to allow them some alone time in their natural form (a weekly bath is common), and a melusine will leave if this oath is violated. Even so, melusines often watch over their humanoid children and their descendents and will intervene in their behalf if they are sorely pressed.

Melusines prefer to fight with magic rather than with claws or weapons, and few of them hide their magical powers even in humanoid guise. No two melusines have the same array of spells, but all of them radiate protective auras to support their allies and can scream to create both a powerful wave of sonic energy and deep grief in whoever survives. Most melusines carry a weapon appropriate for a mage or noblewoman, such as a dagger or crossbow, but if they are forced into melee, they can transform into the full majesty of a dragon. Some melusines are talented enough liars that they can still maintain the secret of their monstrous nature even after that transformation, begging it off as another spell effect.

All melusines are female in their natural form, but occasionally take male or another gender’s guise while shapeshifting. They are cross-fertile with all humanoids and with dragons. A melusine’s child with a humanoid will be the species of the humanoid parent, although they may have some faintly draconic characteristic (such as oddly colored eyes or hair, or even scaly patches). Many of these children grow up to become sorcerers, with a variety of bloodlines reflecting the melusine’s hybrid nature and magical gifts. One hypothesis for the origin of spellscales is that they are the child of a draconic sorcerer and a melusine, and some spellscales boast that a melusine is one of their ancestors. The child of a melusine and a true dragon will be another melusine—this occasionally happens by accident, as a melusine and a shapeshifted dragon court each other while both keeping their identities secret.

Like the magic item, she can use the protective ability once per day, and the construction ability once per week. She uses a Perform (sing) check instead of Perform (strings) check to determine the duration of the construction. Spells A melusine casts spells as a 13th level sorcerer, and can cast cleric spells as if they were on the sorcerer/wizard list. A melusine does not gain other benefits of the sorcerer class, such as a bloodline or bonus feats, unless she takes levels of sorcerer. Wail (Su) As a standard action, a melusine can give a terrible wail. All creatures in a 40 foot cone take 14d6 points of sonic damage (Fort DC 24 half) and are overcome with grief unless they succeed a DC 24 Will save. Creatures so aggrieved take a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill and ability checks for 1 minute, and suffer a 20% miss chance to all of their attacks, as their eyes are filled with tears. Creatures that don’t need to see are immune to the second part of this effect. A melusine can use this ability three times per day, and must wait 1d4 rounds between uses. The save DC is Charisma based. Warding Aura (Su) A melusine radiates an aura of good luck, granting herself and all allies within 30 feet a +2 luck bonus on AC and saving throws. A melusine must be wearing a crown worth at least 1,000 gp in order to use this ability.

1958 chevrolet bel air impala convertible

History, The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the grille. It was named Impala after the graceful African antelope, and this animal became the car's logo. Painted emerald green metallic, with a white interior, the Impala concept car featured hardtop styling. Clare MacKichan's design team, along with designers from Pontiac, started to establish basic packaging and dimensions for their shared 1958 General Motors "A" body in June. The first styling sketch that would directly influence the finished Chevrolet automobile was seen by General Motors Styling vice president Harley Earlin October. Seven months later, the basic design was developed.

For its debut in 1958, the Impala was distinguished from other models by its symmetrical triple taillights. The Chevrolet Caprice was introduced as a top-line Impala Sport Sedan for model year 1965, later becoming a separate series positioned above the Impala in 1966, which, in turn, remained above the Chevrolet Bel Air and the Chevrolet Biscayne. The Impala continued as Chevrolet's most popular full-size model through the mid-1980s. Between 1994 and 1996, the Impala was revised as a 5.7-liter V8–powered version of the Chevrolet Caprice Classicsedan.

First generation (1958)

1For 1958, GM was promoting their fiftieth year of production, and introduced anniversary models for each brand; Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Chevrolet. The 1958 models shared a common appearance on the top models for each brand; Cadillac Eldorado Seville, Buick Roadmaster Riviera, Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday, Pontiac Bonneville Catalina, and the #Chevrolet Bel-Air #Impala.

The Impala was introduced for the 1958 model year as top of the line Bel Air hardtops and convertibles. From the windshield pillar rearward, the 1958 Bel Air Impala differed structurally from the lower-priced Chevrolet models. Hardtops had a slightly shorter greenhouse and longer rear deck. The wheelbase of the Impala was longer than the lower priced models, although the overall length was identical. Interiors held a two-spoke steering wheel and color-keyed door panels with brushed aluminum trim. No other series included a convertible.

The 1958 Chevrolet models were longer, lower, and wider than its predecessors.The 1958 model year was the first with dual headlamps. The tailfins of the 1957 were replaced by deeply sculptured rear fenders. Impalas had three taillights each side, while lesser models had two and wagons just one. The Impalas included crossed-flag insignias above the side moldings, as well as bright rocker moldings and dummy rear-fender scoops.

The standard perimeter-type frame was abandoned, replaced by a unit with rails laid out in the form of an elongated "X." Chevrolet claimed that the new frame offered increased torsional rigidity and allowed for a lower placement of the passenger compartment. This was a transitional step between traditional construction and the later fully unitized body/chassis, the body structure was strengthened in the rocker panels and firewall.However, this frame was not as effective in protecting the interior structure in a side impact crash, as a traditional perimeter frame.

A coil spring suspension replaced the previous year's rear leaf springs, and an air ride system was optional. A 283 cu in (4,640 cc) engine was the standard V8, with ratings that ranged from 185 to 290 horsepower. A "W" block (not to be confused with the big-block) 348 cu in (5,700 cc) Turbo-Thrust V8 was optional, producing 250 hp (190 kW), 280 hp (210 kW), or 315 hp (235 kW). The Ramjet fuel injection was available as an option for the Turbo-Fire 283 V8, not popular in 1958.

A total of 55,989 Impala convertibles and 125,480 coupes were built representing 15 percent of Chevrolet production. The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala helped Chevrolet regain the number one production spot in this recession year.

McLaren Sabre (1 of 15). 

The almost otherworldly McLaren Sabre launched in late 2020 as the most powerful non-hybrid road car produced by the engineering wizards at McLaren to date. One of just 15 produced, yet in fact a truly individual creation built precisely to the specifications of its original owner, this 2020 McLaren Sabre was, and remains, a true “instant icon” that will likely never be duplicated. Not only is it the ultimate McLaren road car, it also quite likely represents the most direct application of race-winning technologies and engineering prowess ever applied to the road, with amazingly purposeful styling and surprising luxury to boot.Based on the foundation of the stunningly fast, track-focused Senna before it, the Sabre takes the hypercar concept to new extremes with its twin-turbocharged 4.0L V-8 powerplant factory-rated at 824 HP—165 more than the Senna and 20 more than even the Elva roadster. However, despite its massive power output, the Sabre is primarily a road car with obvious track capabilities and a somewhat more compliant, road-worthy ride, yet with no performance compromises. In fact, the Sabre holds the distinction of being capable of 218 MPH flat out, one MPH faster than the Senna. The Sabre’s dramatic body design perfectly matches its lethal, cavalry sword-inspired name, with the stunning new McLaren featuring upright, blade-type front and rear fender extensions, fully skirted doors and rockers, and an upward-sweeping side treatment terminated by upright LED tail lights, a full-width rear wing, and rear air diffusers. Sharing its essential carbon fiber monocage chassis structure with the Senna, the Sabre also features the company’s signature, upward-swinging doors and clamshell-type front and rear hatches evocative of Le Mans-worthy endurance racers. The Sabre’s electrifying carbon fiber body is handsomely finished in Liquid Argentum paint, accented by Gloss VCF and Liquid Papaya pinstripes plus interwoven visual carbon fiber graphics to the lower bodyside blades. The driver-focused, yet deceptively luxurious interior of the Sabre is a visual treat with a Volcano Orange driver’s seat and Carbon Black passenger seat, accented by Liquid Papaya contrast pinstripes to the seat shells and contrasting McLaren MSO logos embroidered on the headrests. Visual satin carbon fiber interior accents are handsomely complemented by brushed Azores air vent bezels, steering wheel shift paddles and the central touch-screen screen bezel, down to the door struts and release actuators. Volcano Orange brake calipers proudly carry the Black McLaren marque logo and reside behind stunning, diamond-milled, 7-spoke wheels finished in Gloss Black and fitted with Liquid Argentum center-lock nuts.

You guys, I started thinking about shoving Operator into ToonTown. I-

I’m sorry- I just really, really like Operator k-? He’s my precious bean.

And hey! He’s an old telephone! One of those kinds that tell you to pay again after just 10 minutes of conversation, right? Well, that’s where the idea comes from! Anyways, onto the wiki!

Operator is a Sellbot Manager. It can be seen inside telephone booths around Mezzo Melodyland, often attempting to scam Toons out of their money. He doesn’t typically like doing this though and usually just sneaks around Mezzo Melodyland when he can. It’s shocking he hasn’t been fired yet. Operator also requires a safety mode but we’ll get into that later.

He’s an around 7-8 foot tall android resembling an old phone. He’s pudgy. It has 2 outfits. One it wears on their days off and one he wears on their on days. On Operator’s days off, it wears a large, white janitor’s coat with an unknown logo on it. Operator doesn’t know it’s a logo and only was allowed to wear this coat on its days off because Operator broke down into tears originally when the request was denied. Next to the white janitor’s jacket, he wears black pants underneath the coat that tuck into his deep blue boots that go up to its knees. Operator also broke down into tears originally when he wasn’t allowed to wear the hat (also sporting the same strange logo). The Chairman says he only let Operator keep the hat and jacket because he didn’t want to deal with scrubbing the strange tears out of his carpet.

Operator’s second outfit is seen on their on days. It consists of a deep blue suit with the Sellbot emblem on it. It has a black tie and is clearly oversized as the people behind the suit got his measurements incorrect. Operator doesn’t seem to mind as they just tuck the sweater into their pants. Their pants are the same as their days off pants. Operator wears deeper blue (almost black) boots. He is not allowed to wear his beloved hat and instead wears no hat.

Cheats:

Cog Capacity: Operator prefers to fight alone but he has a chance to summon in Cogs during Sob Story. It has a capacity of 2 as, again, Operator prefers to fight alone. Operator will always summon at least 1 Telemarketer. He’ll also summon Cold Callers too. As long as there’s a Telemarketer on the battlefield (On Operator’s left), each turn has a chance to turn off Safety Mode. Be wary.

Lure Resistance: 0. Operator will always fall for a Lure as long as Safety Mode is On. Once Safety Mode is off, however, the percentage will fall to 50%.

Safety Mode: Operator is required to have a safety mode as he’s become dangerous upon entering ToonTown. When Safety Mode is on, his lever will be up. However, when Safety Mode turns off, the lever will aggressively spin, catching Operator off guard and causing him to stumble for a bit. The lever will then fall limply downwards, causing Operator to freeze up. He will be inactive for a single turn (A prep turn if you will). Once the turn is up, Operator will snap to attention and gain a much more angry face. It will go from a reserved animation (hands tucked in, staring at anything besides the toons, really just pressed into himself) to a much more violent animation (hands out, one leg back as if ready to charge the Toons at any second, constantly scowling). Operator will also destroy any Cogs on the battlefield.

Special Attacks (All Modes)

Sob Story: The camera comes closer to Operator, allowing you to see tears form in his eyes. Very quickly, Operator bursts into tears and cries into their hands. Not that it stopped the puddle of tears from forming around his feet.

Spray: Operator grabs his receiver and points it at a random toon, spraying them with a large jet of sanitized ink. This marks the Toon hit. Operator puts his phone back.

Suds Bucket: Operator reaches behind him and pulls out a bucket of soapy water. He splashes a random Toon, soaking them.

Charge Port: Operator’s back panel springs off, allowing him to shoot a large bolt of purple lightning at a soaked toon. Operator grabs his back panel and reattaches it.

Fruit Smoothie: Operator takes out a large blender and slams it down onto the most dangerous Toon. The attack ends before you can see the result of this. I am not explaining why this is an Instant Kill/Ticket Straight to the Playground.

Strategy: Operator always stands in the middle. You do not need to attack the Telemarketer if it's on Operator’s right, only prioritize attacking the Telemarketer if one spawns on Operator’s left side. If Operator’s safety mode gets turned off, focus solely on them as he now deals extra 5+ damage to any of its attacks. Do note that using a Throw Gag on Operator now has a chance to switch Operator’s Safety Mode back on. Just like when it first gets turned off, Operator will be out for a turn (sitting down for a moment and rubbing his head, confused).

Loot:

Operator sticker

Operator’s hat

In Operator’s sticker, he’s snuggling a panicked fish (alt: he’s snuggling an octopus). Operator actually gets excited if you wear his hat while fighting him (“Oh! You’re wearing my hat!! You look great in it!! Are you here for a rematch?”)

12 gumballs

108 jelly beans

1200 toon experience

There is no Opening Cutscene for interacting with Operator during his on days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday). Instead, he’ll say a few things about please not bothering him while he’s on the job before a fight begins.

“Please don’t fight me.”

“I would prefer it if you would just go talk to my boss if you’re angry about the scam.”

=(

“Do we have to fight?”

“…Alright…”

There is, however, an opening cutscene if you fight him on his days off (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday).

Opening Cutscene:

One Toon bumps into him cleaning the break room, leading him to take his focus off of cleaning some food off the walls.

“Uh-...why! Hi there!” Operator smiles before continuing to clean.

The Toons seem to say something to him which causing Operator to pause.

“What? My…my job as a Sellbot? ..Oh! You must be here to get back your coins? Sorry y’all, as much as I would like too, I’ve already turned them in. I have to thank you guys for not shoving jelly beans into the coin slot…! I’ve been repaired so much!”

The Toons get angry, visibly annoying Operator who just wants to clean up the lunch room in peace. His lever twitches, almost flicking down but not quite.

“I can’t get your coins back, go talk to the boss!”

One Toon throws a throw gag at Operator, causing him to freeze and spin around towards the Toons.

“Ooooh, you’ve done it now! I hate being dirty!”

The battle begins and almost immediately, Operator looks way less sure about this.

Ending Cutscene (Safety Mode On)

Operator curls up, hands over his head as he sniffles and sobs.

“T-Talk to the boss! Just leave me alone, you bullies!! I’m just a cleaning bot! Scamming i-is just the thing the boss wants me to do!!”

One toon looks to feel bad for Operator and…just gives him a throw gag, a tiny cupcake. Operator stares at the Toon before nodding a thanks and walking away to one of the tables to eat.

If you approach Operator after this, he won’t respond. He’ll just silently eat his cupcake. After a while though, he’ll say something,

“Do you want to talk? You’ve been sitting here and staring for a while…”

“Uhm…it’s a good thing you Toons had turned my safety mode back on when you did. The other one is really, really dangerous. He’s also a bit of a sore loser at times. I’m just glad you’re all safe. I don’t know if you could tell but I really, really hate hurting people. But then, that begs the question, when does self defense become petty and full of ruthlessness? When does it stop being self defense and cross into revenge? …I wouldn’t know…I don’t think I would even know if I crossed the line either.”

Ending Cutscene (Safety Mode Off)

Operator screams a telephone screech and tackles the closest Toon. A Telemarketer from behind attempts to pull Operator off the Toon only for them to get sprayed by Operator’s receiver.

One of the Toons grabs the other from under Operator as he keeps kicking about.

“LET ME AT EM! I’ll BLEND YOU INTO SLUDGE! I DID IT TO 10,007 OTHERS- YOU’RE NOT EXCEPTIONS!!”

The Telemarketer flicks Operator’s lever quickly and Operator goes wall eyed, some ink dripping from his mouth for a moment before he shakes his head and groans, holding his head.

“Mrrgh…?”

Operator looks up at the Toons.

“…Sorry…”

Operator stands up and peels the Telemarketer off. He dusts himself off and continues cleaning up the lunchroom.

Talking to Operator after this fight only gets the same “…Sorry…” response. Keep talking however and you’ll eventually get, “I wish I could control him a little better. It’s why I need the safety mode. …This company is a nightmare but I can thank them endlessly for installing a safety mode to keep others safe…” Operator turns towards the Toon, “It’s a miracle you weren’t hurt. He’s really dangerous…” Operator turns away, staring into the table, “Hm? You want my opinion on the blender?” Operator stares ahead at his cleaning cart, “...It was the most merciful thing he could’ve done to you. Just talk to Prethinker…” Operator refuses to say anything else.

Special Attack Dialogue (Safety Mode On):

Sob Story

“Magnolia couldn’t think of anything for this attack for so long!” Not a real line

“You guys are a bunch of meanies!”

“I went through so much isolation…!”

“Have you ever even gone through an extinction like I have?”

Spray

“It’s safe! …I think.”

“What’s got you so blue?”

“I think blue- green?- blue would look great on you!”

Suds Bucket

“Here! You look like you could use a clean!”

“Oh! Lemme help you get that dirt off!”

“Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub~.” I think Operator would have…an oddly pleasant singing voice.

Charge Port

“Heads up, this’ll hurt!”

“Zappity Zap Zap!”

“Let me bring some light onto your situation!”

Special Attack Dialogue (Safety Mode Off)

Spray

“So many successful test subjects.”

“Would you like some tartare sauce with that?”

“12,000 years just for evolution to fail me.”

Suds Bucket

“Operator always liked cleaning.”

“[CLEANSING IN PROCESS]”

“I’ll scrub your faces off!”

Charge Port

“The door to The Promised Land will now open.”

You guys–...I literally couldn’t think of anything for Operator’s dialogue, y’all didn’t see but most of this dialogue was just…me sitting, listening to music and not writing anything before I finally forced something out.

Fruit Smoothie

“INGREDIENT ACQUISITION COMPLETE…REFORMING MATTER…”

Misc. Dialogue

Face-off Taunts (All Mode):

…Oh no…

Welp, I’m going to need all of my stubbornness to get through this. I am not separating the modes for these.

“I’d rather talk to Pacesetter than fight you guys…”

“I never knew Toons could be so mean…!”

“I hope SVP pays me extra for this…”

“You should’ve ran while you had the chance!”

“Toons are a little different from Octarians but not by much. You should all blend the same.” I debated on whether this should be a Face-Off Taunt or a taunt for Fruit Smoothie but eventually decided to put it here as it doesn’t sound intimidating. More casual if anything actually.

“You [SLANG_NOT_FOUND] are annoying. There, I said it.”

“I was the boss of my own company! Operator never should’ve left the metro for this sappy place.”

Death Taunts (Safety Mode On)

“Ah! Oh no! Oh no no no!!”

“I-I didn’t mean to do that!!”

“I don’t care if they’re not dead- they look so hurt!!”

“O-Oops…”

Death Taunts (Safety Mode Off)

“You toons never stood a chance.”

“I’ll make sure you toons have the same punishment as Prethinker did…”

“We done? Great, I’m going to go charge now…”

Surrender Taunts (Safety Mode On)

“Oh phew! Thank you, never fight me again please.”

“Oh uh- bye!”

“Thank Zapfish…I don’t like fighting…”

“See you never^^! …Hopefully.”

Surrender Taunts (Safety Mode Off)

“Peace was never an option.”

“You think you can just run!?”

“COWARDS! ALL OF YOU!”

“Pathetic…just pathetic…”

Friend Request Denials

Operator looks worried, “O-Oh uh…my boss wouldn’t like that.”

Operator goes tense and steps back, “Uh, no thanks, I’m not willing to break the rules like DeadZone.”

‘Operator’ glares at you coldly, “The answer is no, Toon.”

‘Operator’ pretends to have not heard you.

Attempt to Sue

“Wh-...What grounds d-do you even have to sue me??”

“I barely know a thing about this raunchy town and even I know I want nothing to do with the Lawbots…”

Attempt to Fire

“Oh…th-that not…not very nice…”

“HA! You can’t fire me! You’re a Toon!”

Trivia:

This was…genuinely kind of annoying to write dialogue for past the cutscenes. Then again, I just started ADHD meds again for the first time in 2-3 years. I’m not…super used to it yet! It puts a bit of a damper on my focusing issues but it also makes me extremely motivated to write! …Even if I have Writer’s Block. I will say this now though, Iris and Joykill are next because writing these wiki styled…documents for my Cog Ocs is pretty fun!

Operator’s HP is a reference to the 12,000 years Tartar talks about.

Operator’s employee ID is a reference to Tartar too. The 10,008 participants is the reference.

Safety Mode is something only relating to Operator in ToonTown, this concept does not exist for his actual character in Splatoon.

While I would prefer to leave it up to speculation what ‘Operator’ did to Prethinker, it also has some of the best jokes I’ve thought of for my characters. So basically, ‘Operator’ put his building skills to use and made a tunnel similar to a Subway (?) tunnel and inside this tunnel, various vehicles are thrown at the poor soul that ends up in this tunnel. Operator calls it “The Fun Tunnel”.

Operator: My place even has a fun tunnel! *Talking to a shockingly worried Prethinker* “Don’t you want to check out the FUN TUNNEL!?” *Grabbing him now.*

Prethinker in the tunnel: You guys this isn’t very fun. *Gets hit by a car.*

(Reference to Wambu’s countdown of the specimens in Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion. Specifically, Food Demon, Specimen 11.)

Prethinker: *Trying his absolute best to not get hit.*

‘Operator’: Hey! Just a question for you, Prethinker. What does it mean when it says Launch The Train?

*Distant sound of a train horn followed by a scream.*

Fun fact, it was these jokes that made me make this. I love these jokes so much, I can’t even explain it.

Operator is a Sellbot purely because I thought it would be funny if he had to interact with Prethinker more. He was originally going to be a Cashbot.

Chapter 15- Part 7

Now, to continue exploring, brushing up against things in the hopes of finding hidden items-

Lots of useful stuff down here! I’m starting to like this place even more! Let’s keep going to find more stuff, I think we need to go deeper!

Um- weird glowing crystals and now a WHITE Poké Ball item thing?? Not that I can even get to it because of the bush, but still- what’s that all about, now? What’s any of this??

And I can’t even get to that one Cut tree, so that’s great, let’s just go around then-

Seriously? I can’t get to that one either?? Can’t squeeze past that bush and the edges of the tree??

Whatever, what’s going on with these crystals?

Nothing, interacting with them does nothing! Alright, cool, continuing down the stairs we go, looks like we really do need to go deeper.

You know what I’ve just noticed, looking in the Bag? There are no Yellow Shards as of yet. I’ve found Red, Green, Blue, and even the new Purple Shards, but no Yellow Shards. Weird- I mean, I guess it fits with the logo, but why seemingly replace the-

…oh my gosh. Red, green, blue, purple- those are the colors of the game’s logo! That’s why there are no Yellow Shards but they added in Purple Shards instead! It’s literally the logo colors, the logo that's all over the place! That makes perfect sense!

AND we get more healing items to go along with my revelation! We need more! DEEPER, WE NEED TO GO DEEPER!

Ah…actual item, finally, but is this one pitfall trapped too…? I mean, if nothing else, there’s another glowing rock, but I can actually see if it can be interacted with.

Oh, it does have dialogue! Not that we can do anything with it, but maybe we can do something…later! With the right TMX or item or something!

Now, onto the item, and if we fall into yet another pitfall trap, I’ll just burst into flames.

Oh, I could actually pick it up this time- finally! And it’s a good item too! Too good to use right now, but good nonetheless!

And now, we continue down the stairs, going deeper and deeper and-

Ah, looks like we’re about at the bottom. I wonder if there’s gonna be anything special all the way down here?

…Why is there a Light Shard…? Is there…gonna be a boss fight…? …I’ll just, uh…go over and pick up that item…

Good, good. Now we, uh- turn around and run away from this area as fast as we can!

Let’s see if there’s anything different if we make our way down on the left side instead.

I mean, that’s definitely something, I won’t be running out of Shards any time soon- 

But there doesn’t seem to be anything else of interest over on this side, surprisingly. So now…let’s turn our attention to something else.

I’m gonna see if we can catch that Seviper. I don’t have any Great Balls, but I’ve got other Poké Balls, so…maybe it won’t be so bad. But first- any more hidden items?

Oh, there actually was. More Exp. Candy is always welcome!

Now then…let’s get this started.

Snake battle!! This should be easy enough- just paralyze it, then we can lower its HP safely and Glare should be able to tank any attacks it throws at her.

So far, so good-

Oh, I see, the tables are turning again.

Also, as it turns out, this Seviper has Shed Skin as its Ability, but that’s okay- we can inflict Paralysis again, we’ll just have to make sure it’s paralyzed when we throw the Poké Ball.

This is what happens when you decide to pit two snakes against each other.

Arcane Cannon - CR6+ Construct

The Arcane Cannon spell, recreated as a creature instead of a spell.

Artwork is the logo of the Fanquiz for Stargate app on Google Play, by q.e.d Applications.  It might also originally be from official Stargate promotional materials.

The Arcane Cannon spell is a cool way for a boss to summon minions.  It summons a mobile cannon that AC, hit points, and attack rolls, and alternates between attacking and reloading each round.  What if you wanted to do something like that, but without the boss having to spend its first six turns summoning cannons?  Why not have them already be in the room, or be summoned en masse on round 1 using some kind of unique ability or single-use item?

Not all of this creature’s stats are identical to the spell.  The AC is much higher for example, and it can move using its own move action.  This fits better for the idea of it being a creature rather than a spell effect.  Conductive Cannon also works slightly differently than the conductive magic weapon property; it has to, since it’s not the same creature making the attack roll.

For the sake of flavor, I’ve changed these constructs from literal cannons to floating metallic circles covered in runes that shoot out energy blasts.  That’s the kind of thing any arcane spellcaster could summon in almost any setting.  Obviously, feel free to ignore that artwork and make them look however you want, depending on what boss you’re giving them to.  They could just as easily be tesla coils, floating holy symbols that shoot beams of light, stone eyes that shoot laser beams, portals to the elemental plane of ice that shoot out icicle spikes, or futuristic rifle turrets.  If you change the damage type, give it +4 damage, because force damage is so much better than any other type.

I’ve marked this as CR 6 as a base challenge rating, but it’s meant to be a minion for a boss, and gains some power based on the boss’s stats.  Its CR increases by 1/4 of the arcane controller’s CR if the controller is a spellcaster, or 1/8 of the arcane controller’s CR otherwise.

If you use one of these things as a standalone monster, it uses the base CR 6 statistics and stays at CR 6.

Arcane Cannon - CR 6

A metallic circle covered in arcane symbols floats in midair, spinning slowly in place.  A shimmer of energy starts to build within the middle of the circle.

XP 2,400 N Medium construct Init +4 Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; Perception +0

DEFENSE

AC 22, touch 14, flat-footed 18 (+4 Dex, +8 natural) hp 80 (11d10+20) Fort +3, Ref +7, Will +3 (or arcane controller’s bonuses; see text) Defensive Abilities hardness 10 Immune construct traits

OFFENSE

STATISTICS

Str 8, Dex 18, Con —, Int —, Wis 10, Cha 1 Base Atk +11; CMB +10; CMD 24 (cannot be tripped) (or increased based on arcane controller’s bonuses; see text) SQ arcane controller, hover

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Arcane Controller (Su) An arcane cannon is typically bound to a creature which has direct control over it.  Although the arcane cannon uses its actions and acts on its own initiative, it receives telepathic instructions from its arcane controller and follows them.   If left to its own devices, an arcane cannon will attack its arcane controller’s enemies to the best of its abilities.  If its arcane controller dies, the arcane cannon powers down and ceases to function after 2 rounds.

An arcane cannon uses its arcane controller’s saving throw modifiers in place of its own, if higher.  If its arcane controller is a spellcaster, the arcane cannon uses its arcane controller’s caster level in place of its base attack bonus, if higher.

An arcane cannon’s challenge rating increases by 1/4 of its arcane controller’s challenge rating if the arcane controller is a spellcaster, or 1/8 of its arcane controller’s challenge rating otherwise.

An arcane cannon that is not bound to an arcane controller functions as any other construct, and follows the instructions it was given by its creator.

Cannon (Ex) As a standard action, an arcane cannon can fire one cannon attack, which functions as a ranged manufactured weapon attack with a range increment of 50 feet.  This targets touch AC within the first range increment, and deals 4d10 force damage with a x4 critical multiplier.

After firing once, an arcane cannon must spend a standard action to reload itself before it can use its cannon attack again.

Lock On (Ex) If an arcane cannon’s arcane controller is at least CR 8, it can lock onto an enemy target as a move action.  It gains a +2 bonus to hit that target with its cannon attacks for the next minute.  If its arcane controller is at least CR 16, this bonus increases to +4.  An arcane cannon can only lock onto one target at a time.

Conductive Cannon (Su) An arcane cannon that has an arcane controller is able to channel the energy of one of its arcane controller’s spell-like or supernatural abilities that relies on a ranged touch attack to hit its target (such as from a cleric’s domain granted power, sorcerer’s bloodline power, oracle’s mystery revelation, or wizard’s arcane school power).  If the arcane controller is within close range of the arcane cannon (25 ft. + 5 ft. per 2 caster levels), the arcane controller may choose to expend two uses of his special ability to channel it through the arcane cannon.  The arcane cannon makes a ranged cannon attack, and if this attack is successful, the target suffers the effects of both the cannon attack and the special ability.  (If the wielder has unlimited uses of a special ability, he may channel through the arcane cannon every round.)  The arcane cannon must be loaded, and loses its standard action on its next turn when a special ability is channeled through it in this way.

The arcane controller can channel an ability through an arcane cannon in this way only once per round (even if he has several arcane cannons).

Hover (Su) An arcane controller does not have a fly speed, but it hovers 1 foot above the ground at all times.

many oc/canon thots being thunk abt how logos' skillset would pair w my docsonas kit ..

i keep getting lazy on putting together an official-looking thing to present reverdies kit so ig this kinda slightly serves that purpose: (skill names &numbers always subject to change. i'm not a Hardcore Pro Gaymer so idk if im crossing power boundaries i shouldn't)

Talent 1 Eihwaz (Module LV3): "Deploys a Defense Rune (200 DEF) on the tile this unit is on and two Medical Runes (3% HP/s [P3: 4% HP/s]) in the direction this unit is facing. (Once per deployment. Runes go away if this unit leaves the battlefield.) Allies deployed on Runes gain 10% Sanctuary. (Does not have to be a Rune provided by this unit.)"

being a bard supporter, logos would generally wind up deployed next to reverdie anyway... the sanctuary could help logos w his s2 b even tankier &ranged units could always stand to take less dmg in general. also means reverdie is constantly facing logos' direction on the battlefield hehe 🥰🥰

Talent 2 Where There Is Hope, There Are Trails (Module LV3): "15% [P5: 18%] to both dodge rate and chance to ignore 15% DEF and RES to all allies within range and +5% Inspiration to that unit (stacks 3 times) upon dodging or ignoring an enemy's DEF or RES."

logos ignores res, coincidentally also on his 2nd talent!! he'd get the inspiration stacks just by auto-attacking, the chance for even more res shred &the dodge r just cherries on top for him omg...

S1M3 Humble Beginnings (Unlimited Duration): "More likely to be attacked, 50% dodge rate to self. All allies within range gain Inspiration equal to 80% of this unit's ATK and RES, and +1 ASPD to all allies (stacks up to 15 times) upon dodging."

logos' s1 kys field going crazy w the atk boost LMAO

the res boost w logos' s2 active would make him unbelievably tanky against arts enemies too omg. &no skill wouldn't appreciate aspd, logos' s2 focused death beam could run thru a few more tanky enemies w it... this skill is Also coincidentally unlimited duration like logos' s1 😳 (&eterna's s1)

despite it being a bit counterintuitive since reverdies s1 Should have them attacked, the thought of protective logos s1 auto-kysing/s2 enemy slow/s3 projectile slow on approaching hostiles is so 🥹🥹 all his skills is actually to keep his tree wife safe from harm 💯% let the others build the aspd stacks‼️😤

S2M3 Prosperous Future: "All allies within range gain effects based on how high or low their HP is.

(Above 50%HP) Increase this unit's Trait effect by 30%. Grants allies a Barrier worth 1600HP and recover 2SP every second. If HP is full, double the SP recovered.

(Below 49%HP) Gain Inspiration equal to 50% of this unit's ATK. Attacks land twice with a 70% chance of landing three times."

loverdie folds over themselves trying to protect e/o from getting hurt WWW the fights logos fought in victoria scared reverdie so much (ESP in the recent chapters), they dont want him going thru that again as much as they can help it 🥹 sure if you can't avoid wife getting hurt then just help him kill things dead ig !! love how reverdies skills transition from contributing passively towards battle into fullblown offensive support. esp in their s3

S3M3 Await in Full Bloom: Range expands [Glaucus S2/Eyjafjalla S3 range] and increase this unit's second Talent effects by 5x. All allies in range counter 80% [90, 100, 110] of their base ATK upon dodging and stat reductions are cleared (self-inflicted debuffs return once this skill ends)."

shoot &i'll move LMAO

logos' 2nd talent means he'd net whats now 75% inspiration just by attacking thrice, but also on top of inflicting -10res + increases arts dmg taken, he ALSO has 75% (90% at reverdie pot5 😳) chance to flat out Ignore 75% res as well as having 90% dodge. turning "don't touch my wife" into "try him. Go Ahead."

also ??? logos' base skills being irene but for casters/supporters ogifjbdhwh so he definitely trains reverdie, which falls in line w him wanting to understand them, their runes/spells &researching their unknown language/voynich manuscript (which his module lore coincidentally supported so much 🥹)

however. (nsft ahead) on the inspiration that odin hung himself on the yggdrasil for 9 days &nights for Forbidden Rune Mastery. &me translating that into logos can hang on reverdies cock for 9 days &nights to achieve the more or less the same.

yeah hes absolutely showing them his "banshees proficiency" in there. yeah theyre totally discussing the "meaning of words" in there. yeah. nudges under the bed the fact that logos gets an overflow of information from climbing the cosmic tree. how he starts blabbering glossolalia when they start getting it on. yeah! plus, one of reverdies base skills is morale recovery + trust boost. now i see, now i see...!!!!! so that's the aftercare!

Top 7 Best Ford Focus ST Mods

If you’re a Mk3 Ford Focus ST enthusiast looking to take your daily driving experience to the next level, you’re in for a treat. In this blog, we’ll delve into the top six best mods that can transform your beloved Ford Focus ST from impressive to exceptional and intentionally built. Whether you’re craving more horsepower, improved handling, or timeless aesthetics, we’ve curated a list of mods that are sure to ignite your passion for performance upgrades. These aren’t just some of our favorites but some of the most popular FoST mods! So, gear up as we explore the ultimate upgrades that will elevate your Ford Focus ST to the next level!

1.) Enkei NT03+M Wheel 18×9.5 5X108 40mm Silver

Owner: @thatfordfocusst Check out this Focus ST for some awesome content!

NT03+M is designed with a perimeter brace ring that enhances the wheel strength so it’s able to resist deformation or distortion from outer forces, resulting in highly accurate steering response and strength. The NT03+M also features a racing twin valve design which allows for accurate monitoring while adjusting the pressure.

MAT PROCESS: Shaping by the MAT process reduces wheel weight by 10%-15%. Every pound of unsprung weight savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20lbs.

MAT Technology Enkei developed a new manufacturing process to produce the next aluminum wheel generation. The Most Advanced Technology (M.A.T) combines one-piece cast wheel technology with a rim forming technology called spinning process. Using this new technology of casting and rim forming by M.A.T process, is critical to improve drastically the material property and strength of the wheels. Rim-Rolled technology shapes the rim to improve material elongation without sacrificing the wheels hardness.

SPEC-E All Enkei wheels are engineered to pass rigorous testing. In fact, Enkei established its own test standard called “Spec-E,” which is tougher than JWL requirements. Enkei’s Spec-E test setting requires a higher drop point in the impact test and 20% more cycles for the rotary bending fatigue and dynamic radial fatigue tests than JWL standards. The Spec-E represents Enkei’s confidence in its technology and quality of Enkei wheels.

3.) Mishimoto Silver Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit Ford Focus ST 2013-2018

After a few laps on the track or some aggressive street driving, turbocharged 4 cylinder engines like the 2.0L EcoBoost in the Focus ST are known to overheat oil quickly. Even with the stock liquid to liquid heat exchanger, the EcoBoost can still run hot and risk overheating the engine’s coolant. Aggressive tunes paired with some track miles can significantly overheat your oil and wear down your engine. Leave it to Mishimoto to come up with an oil cooling solution for your Focus ST!

The Mishimoto engineers started with a large 19-row oil cooler and mounted it in the front of the vehicle where it receives the most airflow. The oil cooler was mounted on the passenger side as to not interfere with some aftermarket air intake systems. Application-specific braided stainless steel lines transfer the oil from the cooler to the engine and feature -10AN fittings for an easy installation. Mishimoto engineers saw consistent temperature decreases of over 30°F (16.7°C) using our non-thermostatic sandwich plate. This proved that our oil cooler kit can withstand the stress of the most extreme applications.

This oil cooler kit is available with either a Stealth Black or Sleek Silver cooler and your choice of the Mishimoto Oil Sandwich Plate or the Mishimoto Thermostatic Oil Sandwich Plate. As with all our products, this kit includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.

Please note: Mishimoto fully inspects and cleans all products prior to packaging. However, it is recommended that customers flush the oil cooler with one quart of clean oil prior to installation to remove any debris accumulated during shipping. Please feel free to contact us at support@mishimoto.com if you have any questions.

5.) VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune Ford Focus ST 2.0L EcoBoost

The Ford Focus ST ECU Tune is done by VR Tuned is one of the best upgrades you can do. The cars 2.0L turbo is already a load of fun to drive. With our new ECU calibration, you are able to gain improved performance with increases in horsepower and torque. The biggest difference when you flash your car is the overall drivability improvement. Your car will have much better throttle response throughout the gears. Where your car is sluggish off the line, huge gains of torque come in giving you a vast improvement of your 0-60mph time. Depending on mods, the midrange can increase through the curve and the top end pulls harder to redline.

Crank Horsepower Ratings:

Stock Power: 250hp | 266ft/lbs

Tuned Power: 278hp | 341ft/lbs

ECU Flash Options:

Vmax Off – This is an increase or reduction of the maximum speed limit.

Race Exhaust – This option is for those running full race exhaust systems.

Pops & Bangs – Pops and bangs (burble tune) is the result of an ignition delay which creates an exhaust detonation when the throttle pedal is released. Caution, this process must only be used on vehicles with a full race exhaust. This may affect long term engine reliability.

Cold Start Off – Disables the cold start system.

DTC OFF – This option is to delete Trouble Code (DTC) related to the engine. You provide us the code.

Some options are not available for different software version of the vehicle. We cannot know this until the factory ECU read is uploaded. If a feature is not available that is extra, we will refund you that amount. We do guarantee to provide you with the best possible performance tune.

6.) Whiteline Grip Series Stage 1 Kit Ford Focus | Focus ST 2012-2018

The ultimate entry level suspension upgrade! Performance, handling and comfort make up the Grip Series Stage 1 kit featuring Whiteline signature front and rear adjustable (where applicable) swaybars, drop links and performance lowering springs.

Features:

Whiteline sway bars are principally designed to reduce body roll or sway while cornering.

7.) GFB DVX Diverter Valve Ford Focus ST

GFB’s DVX takes the extremely popular DV+ Diverter Valve and adds dual venting outlets along with our patented Venting Bias Adjustment System. So not only do you get IMPROVED BOOST HOLDING and THROTTLE RESPONSE, you have total control over your BLOW-OFF SOUND VOLUME!

WHAT MAKES DVX DIFFERENT TO ANY OTHER VALVE THAT GOES “WHOOSH”?

The DVX is not just a noise maker (like BOV spacers) – by modifying the valve operation method it offers the same PERFORMANCE BENEFITS that the DV+ does.

It retains ECU CONTROL for the fastest possible operation.

No other blow off valve has the advantage of GFB’s Venting Bias Adjustment, allowing you to alter the blow off sound simply by moving the adjustment lever.

Built to last.

GFB’s DV+ design solves the longevity and boost leaking issues that are common with factory diverter valves, and also changes the operation method to “pilot actuation” to ensure better performance on stock or modified engines.

Furthermore, these benefits won’t cost you the Earth! Rather than throwing the entire factory diverter valve system in the trash (like other manufacturer’s “solutions”), the DV+ keeps what works, and replaces what doesn’t.

WHAT DOES IT FIT?

The T9654 is a duel venting direct factory replacement for the pneumatic diaphragm type BPV (Bypass Valve) used on Ford, Volvo, Porsche, & Borg Warner Turbos

WHY NOT JUST USE A SPACER?

There are many “BOV spacers” on the market that make noise. However, they do this simply by using the factory diverter valve and redirecting the air to atmosphere. Therefore, the performance deficiencies of the factory diverter valve design remain, and furthermore, the flow capacity of the factory diverter is significantly reduced because of the small venting holes used in these BOV spacers.

ECU VS VACUUM CONTROL

Other BOV kits eliminate the ECU control entirely, using pure manifold vacuum control instead. Whilst there’s nothing particularly wrong with this (that’s how the majority of BOVs work), the ECU control is MUCH FASTER, able to detect and respond to much SMALLER THROTTLE TRANSITIONS and, since it’s available, why wouldn’t you use it?

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT OUR VENTING BIAS SYSTEM?

GFB’s patented Venting Bias Adjustment System is the only one of its kind in the world. By using an internal rotating sleeve, the opening of both the recirc port and the atmosphere port can be infinitely adjusted. This means that you’re not stuck with a fixed 50/50 or 100% atmosphere venting ratio; you can change it to whatever you want! As an additional benefit, because the atmosphere outlet is a single large port rather than a series of small holes, the venting sound is much DEEPER AND LOUDER than it is with a BOV spacer.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS…

The DVX offers a TRUE PERFORMANCE improvement, INCREASED BOOST-HOLDING ability, and a blow-off sound that is COMPLETELY ADJUSTABLE from factory-silent to ear shattering!

20.00 WIB, hp-ku berdering, menunjukkan nama ibook ❤️ memanggil. Seketika ku geser logo warna hijau, namun disana bersamaan dengan ibook yg memutuskan panggilan. Tidak menunggu lama, ku lakukan panggilan ulang ke beliau, kali ini panggilan video.

Sesaat sudah muncul wajah ibook ku di layar.

Obrolan malam ini jauh lebih lama dari biasanya, sekitar 30 menit an. Cukup lama bagi kami, mengingat biasanya hanya 5 menit an saja.

Topik obrolan hari ini diawali dengan kabar ulang tahun si Mbak, yg masih 3 hari lagi. Tapi bukan itu poin utamanya, melainkan kabar kado istimewa yg diterima si Mbak dari suaminya. Dari ekspresinya, ibook terlihat sangat gembira dan haru, melihat anaknya yg selama ini bekerja keras sekaligus pejuang LDM mendapat apresiasi istimewa. Seolah berkata “Mbak sangat layak mendapat kado seperti ini”. Tak lupa, ibook juga mengonfirmasi “sampean juga ngerasa seneng kan nduk?” ☺️ Akupun mengiyakan, karena aku sangat mengerti bagaimana si Mbak berjuang disini, beliau sudah mengorbankan banyak hal, dan kado ini pantas menjadi salah satu bentuk ucapan terima kasih untuknya.

Lalu di tengah obrolan yang menyenangkan malam ini, ada atur ibook yang membuatku terhenyak.

Dengan polos dan tenangnya ibuk matur seperti ini:

“iki lo, aku maeng ki njajal nelvon sampean kenek opo ora. soale hapeku kok gak enek panggilan masuk.”

(ini lo, tadi ibook nyoba nelvon kamu bisa atau nggak. soalnya HP (ibook) dari tadi kok tidak ada panggilan masuk)

nyess rasanya. 🙂

Sebenarnya tadi pagi aku sempat nelvon ibook, tapi tidak diangkat, kemungkinan beliau sedang sibuk di dapur. Dan aku tidak nelvon lagi setelahnya. Sampai malam ini tadi, ibook nelvon duluan.

Tapi dari ucapan ibook tadi, aku menangkap kalau saat ini ibook sedang rindu. Khas sekali gayanya yang selalu penuh bumbu-bumbu gengsi. Hanya saja, ini adalah kejadian pertama selama 26 tahun aku bersama beliau. Sedih campur senang rasanya. Sedih karena harus membuat ibook kangen sampai harus melakukan hal seperti itu, dan Senang karena akhirnya ibook bisa bilang kangen jugaaaaa.

Yah, bagaimanapun, hingga hari ini. Beliaulah pemilik pelukan paling hangat di dunia ini. Beliaulah sandaran ternyaman disaat lemah lelahku. Dan beliaulah yg menjadi sumber semangat terbesar di hidupku.

Beliau mungkin menua, tapi tidak dengan peran dan eksistensinya. Ibook ku hari ini, masih sama hebatnya dengan ibook ku 10, 15, 20, bahkan 26 tahun yg lalu.

Hanya saja, dulu ibook belum bisa diajak kangen-kangenan 😊
