- MY DUSKWOOD EISODE 10 THOUGHTS -

Okie, so it is May 29th 8:45 am where I'm from as I'm starting with this, I finished my first cup of coffee for the morning and my brain finally started to function enough to start making comprehensible sentences, and I did mention in my earlier post I could write an essay about it, so here we are. 🤭

⚠️ I'll put this under the cut, even though there is not really any specific spoilers in it, but still 😊 So maybe, if you still haven't finished with the ep 10, skip reading it for now. ⚠️

So, episode 10 is done, and all I can say is HOLLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT'S SACRED!!!!

This was an absolute MASTERPIECE!! People of Everbyte, you are AMAZING! AMAZING!!!💚💚

Honestly, I was extremely nervous when we learned that ep 10 will be the last one - I really believed that there were too many unresolved things, too many questions that were left hanging in the air to actually be able to fit them all into one episode and to not make it turn out rushed or leave me with even more questions, but I never expected something like this!

From the moment I started, my heart was beating so hard, and it only intensified as I pogressed more into the episode. Every conversation made me anxious, waiting to lear more about all the "why's" and "how's" that we still had to learn of. Every (video) call gave me such an adrenalin rush, resulting in me screaming at my phone a few times, what to cheer or to repeat a constant 'NO NO NO' thinking haven't they suffered enough already?! Gosh, every minute of my playthrough was accompanied with so much emotions coursing through me, it was an amazing expirience! 💚💚

And for Jake? Well, we might not have gotten a face or voice reveal (which is totally fine with me actually 😉), but at the end, in my eyes, we got something much, MUCH better! 💚💚💚💚

Ok, I do have to say, even though there are few things that did still leave me with a question mark above my head, or that I might have hoped to interact with in some way, but the way Everbyte exectued this whole thing, it absolutely, in no way changes the fact that this episode was, no IS, the spectacular, amazing, extraordinary grand finale I hoped for! 💚💚💚💚

And so we came to the end of Duskwood - we laughed with it, we cried with it (?) ,and it really does feel like an end of an era 🥺 And yes, we all know it is just a game, but that still doesn't change anything. Because, for a little while, at least for me, Duskwood was a bright light in my life, an escape from a sometimes tough reality, and I am so glad that I had a pleasure to be a part of such an amazing game! 💚💚💚💚

Thank you Everbyte for not giving up when times got hard and for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this masterpiece! I'm very much looking forward to see what other 'ace's up your sleeve' you have for us in the future!! 💚💚

Thanks to anyone who read this till the end. Much hugs to you all, have a wonderful day/evening/night 💚

[priestess-of-light]

I'm just here waiting for the next heads up because as a wlw this book is exhausting

There's literally nothing, and I don't even have the energy for this. The plot is not moving, it's just stuck and not making any progress

SPOILERS AHEAD WILL ADD THE READ MORE THING WHEN I GRAB MY PC

In today's chapter Elijah is going to call you Noah's girl. No Ava.

Chapter 57 - You will text Mason because you are stressed and the road trip will be with him. No Ava.

Chapter 58 - You are stuck between Mason and his dad's issues which is weird as fuck. Girl I don't care at all about you all. Noah is going to hold your hand because there's no boundaries with the boys you want to reject. No Ava.

Chapter 59 - Finally a semi Ava chapter. Ava is going to need some photography tutoring but it's going to be a diamond scene. In the diamond scene you will reminisce the past and Ava's fear of her present and future like college (same girl). But as I said the plot is just stuck. There's literally no pogress like at all.

Rep. Elise Stefanik Fights Her Detractors With Babyish Name Calling

The Lincoln Project has released an ad chastising our local congresswoman for brown-nosing Trump, even defending him in the wake in the recent insurrection. 

Stefanik didn’t fight back personally---like a coward she did it through her official spokesman, throwing a wide loop around EVERYONE who doesn’t like Trump with pathetically petty name calling. Dems, pogressives, etc. got put in the shade. Kindergarten is still in session in the GOP!

[biggerb0at]

carnival-phantasm mentioned you in a post

@biggerb0at​ FGO has had blatantly sexist stuff since launch and it's always been pretty obvious. A lot of different writers and artists are involved and some are (much) better than others. Either way, while I'd be against financially supporting it, you can still enjoy the game and not turn into a fanboy who ignores its many flaws.

again dude ive had my own takes on fate so stop it with the fanboy who ignores flaws shit alright ive had enough of that being used as a insult at me just cause I said one take wasn’t real criticism alright cause like right now you make me feel like I should say “im autistic so yeah im gonna go deep into spurging into stuff I like so does that make me a mindless fanboy, who ignores many flaws just cause I said that was a bad take” 

like heres the checklist  agartha- yes it was sexist but we havent gotten anything like that ever again so it changed and yeah I ignored that story but still acknowledged the flaws like how they took away d’eons genderfluid identity in it I went fucking ape shit on that. you know what im gonna find it an @ you. 

this right here about not liking the canon height for servants like medusa not being as tall as what we think is tall is not really sexist when you know that this is nasu with a giant fetish and always remarks on how tall medusa is, like buddy thats more of a translation issue than anything with a fix of telling NA “oh heres what we think is tall and whats short change it to fit the standards of tall and short in NA” and yeah its kinda shitty to just go straight insult cause you cant have the tiddy in your face while standing. 

im saying if you have like a lot of issues with fgo that even a minor one that can be ignored like heights or art you aren’t thirsty for (lets be honest this is a waifu/husbando game where everyone is thirsty for someone sexy or handsome they go all out and the height thing is always a TIL like can you tell me how tall any of the tamamos are without looking them up) will have you calling it sexist or something ist then why are you playing the game when that will be on your mind while playing it.

How AR & VR Can Improve Fashion Industry And Retail?

Whether or not you have an interest in exploring future-technologies, you must know Augmented & Virtual reality. Laced with the potential to redefine the industries, AR & VR technology has increased rapidly in a few years and perhaps it may begin the 5th industrial revolution. From healthcare to automotive & aerospace, it has influenced nearly every industry. So, in the fashion industry & retail sector. It has deployed plenty of incredible solutions for customers & business owners and anticipated to continue.

With the potential to help organizations grow by increasing customer satisfaction rate, augmented & virtual reality can introduce business owners to amazing benefits. Actually, the fashion industry is perhaps one among the most demanded industries in today’s world and customer satisfaction matters a lot here. With the advantages of Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and other future-proof technology, AI & VR will not only improve customer service rate but also influence your clientele in the most possible manner.

Apart from providing customers with the freedom to make the right choice while purchasing a specific material, it helps them with virtual try-on 3D. It’s perhaps the most revolutionary step that one could take to expand their business. In India, renowned online clothing stores like Myntra, Amazon and Flipkart haven't tried this yet, However, they are working on it. Here we've mentioned our ideas, how adopting AR & VR will help the fashion industry and retailers and the benefits they can add to their business along with an enhanced customer commitment rate.

1. In-store 3D Models for Customer Engagement

How do you shop? Of course, first you get influenced by someone, check that dress online, visit the store, check out various options, and then add one to your cart. This is the most traditional way which takes too long and Millenials, who are the future shoppers, cannot afford wasting this much time. Here the virtual reality hits the podium. It not only helps in narrowing the shelves & sections, but also enables customers to pick the right one after getting over various 3D models trials.

With its usability and approach, VR reality based 3D models have become the most recommended customer engagement model for today’s customers. Fitting is not an issue unless you’re too thin or fat, but getting 360° view is quite tough. Lacked with future-proof technologies, Virtual & Augmented reality based 3D scanners can help here. VR technique will allow customers to check their selected dress on models in 3D that will provide an aerial view from all angles. It’s not only time effective, but also precise.

If you’re striving to boost your sales, VR can help you with its range of interesting features, including digital signage and advertisement. Ray-Ban has already been in this way and experienced an exceptional rise in customers after adopting this technology.

2. Virtual Try-on 3D for In-store and Mobile Applications

Just like various filters of Snapchat, fashion retailers will soon harness virtual reality to enable customers to try in 3D. VR & AR based 3D scanners will redefine the entire fashion industry. With an estimated value of $406 billion, the global fashion industry captures most of the world’s economy using this advanced technology.

However, there are several companies like Myntra, Gap, Wannaby, and Tenth street hat that are using virtual try-on and have experienced a huge rise in their overall sales. Most leading brands are currently working on 3D Avatars also called Virtual Human that will help storekeepers in a more pogressive way.

3D avatars will help shoppers visualize themselves and how the dress will appear after wearing. Apart from enhancing decision making, it will ensure increased customer satisfaction.

3. Redefining Stores and Customer Services

Customers are coming and going with bags full of clothes, what else would a fashion retailer expect? Modern virtual reality is way more advanced than the past and also includes reshaping your store and clientele. Putting a virtual 3D mirror to any corner of your store will help customers visualize if their dress is looking nice or not. So, they can try on various outfits. It will not only increase your outcomes, but also influences the way shoppers shop.

For example, you’re running a wedding attire store. Now, weddings are perhaps the most beautiful part of one’s life and people leave no stone unturned to make it wonderful. From catering to wedding attires, they want everything to be perfect. In this case, Virtual reality based 3d dressing rooms can help them visualize their dress in the most realistic manner. With the help of graphic designers, shoppers can simply add some pre-designed dresses to the algorithm of the system and customers can choose which dress suits their body style.

Today’s technology is so advanced that customers can even see yourself doing a catwalk on the ramp while they’re actually standing in the store. From cosmetics, sunglasses, hats to various lifestyle factors have been influenced by this technology. And gradually the augmented & virtual reality will take over so-called admirers.

Virtual reality could definitely become the most powerful channel for customer-brand interaction. ECommerce is gradually increasing across the world, therefore in this scenario, it would be a good initiative to take steps towards successful online brands integration. According to research conducted by Metal in conjunction with Tufts University and the Kellogg School of Management, the company’s AR application can boost sales by 22 percent.
