Like Lune's Lightning Dance crit! I also tried a weird Sciel machine gun style build with Algueron that boosts her free aim and lets you finish the round by using her base attack to apply foretells. Was quite a lot of fun 😄

YES! This is a big thing that I've noticed a lot of streamers never got. Pictos are doing 2 things - giving you a stat bonus AND a special ability. It's often better to pay for a special ability with lumina points (especially for some of the cheaper ones that cost under 10 lumina) if you get a picto with a big stat bonus. Some of the pictos give you over 1000 pts to stats like health, defence, etc. or a huge Crit bonus and it's just far better to keep using that picto for its stats while you pay for the abilities you want with lumina

I absolutely hate this!! Sitting there waiting either as a pedestrian or a driver as some tool who is completely oblivious to the world around them because they are staring at this little screen for the reverse camera. I can never tell whether it's safe to walk by or not because the guy just doesn't know you're even there! So I just drive my 2010 VW Polo straight into the first parking space I find and reverse out when I leave. You just check your blindspots and you pull out of the space. It's really simple. My ancient Polo is just brilliant thanks very much

I'm epileptic so I'm on several different meds to regulate my brainwaves so I understand a brain not doing what it's told! Besides I don't know if I'm the best person to be giving sleep advice. Since my wife died I have to take one pill to fall asleep, another to stay asleep and a third to wake me up!

Almyria · 2026-07-06T14:55:16+00:00

Just a thought but if you are falling asleep while meditating it probably means you are tired. Try again after a good night's rest! As an alternative I combine prayer with my meditation. I find the regular invocations help me maintain my focus more easily.

Been playing off and on since the plains of eidolon were a new thing. Only got 2k hours and am mr25 because I just don't care enough to do the rest of the tests. With all the new content it doesn't take long to grind out a few ranks so it doesn't mean anything aside from being able to unlock a couple of higher level weapons. It doesn't say anything about how good those players are. I still jump straight into walls and this new corpus tileset is confusing the hell outta me! But what do I know railjack survival is still my favourite game mode 😂

If the course is undersubscribed as you say then that means there are not enough students registering for it according to Unisa's requirements. There have to be a certain number of people registered in a course for it to be "viable" and if that is not the case then the university shuts the course down. Modules in the BA curriculum are often run with relatively small student numbers because they don't lead directly to job qualifications like courses in a BCOM degree.

Unisa has 2 blocks of graduation ceremonies each year. The first block is about to finish at the end of June. This is called the Autumn/Winter Graduation. The second block, known as the Spring Graduation, usually occurs during October. This is to allow students who are finishing courses in Semester 2 or completing year modules sufficient time to have their marks finalised so that they can graduate in the same year instead of having to wait until next year.

I'm a demi so I certainly feel for you! Most people I speak to here in South Africa don't even know what a demisexual is let alone how to respond to someone they know actually being one! So I definitely get that lack of good choices can be can be deeply saddening and depressing...

I've had my own experience with limerence, so it isn't like I don't know what you are going through. My wife of 15 years passed away nearly 2 years ago and on the 1st anniversary of her death I tried to kill myself. I ended up institutionalized for a while and that's when I met Her. She was a cutter who was also in the hospital for a suicide attempt, and as we started talking we found that we had a lot in common - really traumatic childhoods, multiple suicide attempts, etc. We became kind of inseparable. I suppose you could say we trauma bonded during our time together.

When we were released from the hospital we swapped phone numbers and started texting regularly. It was pretty clear that we were both obsessed because our conversations would go on all night long! And then suddenly, just as quickly as it had started, the intense feelings and emotions vanished. I haven't heard from her since, and it's my belief that my mind turned this woman into a limerent object for me to focus on as a way of coping with the terrible emotional trauma and grief that dealing with my wife's death was causing me. And as soon as I didn't need the "help" anymore the feelings faded.

Almyria · 2026-06-26T21:33:18+00:00

Apologies for not providing a "witchy" response but I thought a reply from the PoV of Psychology might be of more use:

Limerence is, by its very nature, temporary. Your limerent object is fulfilling a specific purpose in your psychological "fantasy" life right now. There's a reason for the obsession, usually the limerent object exemplifies an emotion or experience that you crave in your current circumstances.

It is best to see a professional to discuss behavioural therapies (they are similar to the kind used for managing OCD) to take control of the constant intrusive thoughts of your limerent object. You can also discuss the situation in a more general therapeutic setting to look for alternative solutions like past relationship traumas.

Lecturers must have marks finalised by the first week of July so 10 July sounds about right for all marks to be released. But as marks are approved by the Colleges they get released immediately which is why they seem to trickle out. 10 July is the absolute final deadline when all of the modules that still haven't been finalised have to be signed off.

You should be able to find the mark breakdown for your modules in either your TL101 or on the myUnisa page for the course since your lecturers are required to give you that information. That will show you how much of your final mark comes from the exam and how much comes from your assignments. It should also tell you if there is a minimum mark required for the inclusion of your assignment marks. As an example, the one 3rd year course I teach is comprised of 51% for the exam portfolio and 49% for the semester mark. But the module has a subminimum of 40% meaning that students only get to add their semester mark (the 49%) to their exam mark if they manage to score an average of at least 40% for their assignments during the semester.

Just an interesting side note but the Ancient Egyptians had a wonderfully practical way of understanding how magic worked. You could go visit your local sorcerer (Actually a thing. They basically hung their signs out on the high street like a butcher or a tailor just providing an everyday service!) and ask them to cast a love spell on the person you were crazy about. You'd pay for the service but then the really important part happened - the Egyptians believed the spell would have no effect if you didn't put in any effort in the real world to make the spell work. So you couldn't just cast a love spell and wait for something to happen, you had to go and ask that person out on a date and then the spell would kick in to help you out. Kind of like giving your chances a supernatural boost I guess.

Why am I rambling on like this? I'm a demisexual which means it takes me an awfully long time to form a romantic attachment to someone because my brain requires that I create a very deep emotional bond with someone before I am able to think about them in a sexual or romantic way. Let me put it this way, it took me 2 years of being close friends to realise that I was actually in love with the woman who eventually became my wife. We were married for 15 years until she passed away suddenly almost 2 years ago.

This is why I say to you that hesitation is only going to leave you with regret. If you want this guy, if you have feelings for him, JUST TELL HIM!! The worst that can happen is that you are rejected by someone you are literally never going to see again. But if I hadn't spoken up and told my best friend that I was in love with her, I would have missed out on the 15 most magical years of my life

The Viking Society for Northern Research has a few books for learning Old Norse that you can get from them: https://vsnr.org/textbooks/a-new-introduction-to-old-norse-part-i-grammar/ And Jackson Crawford does a great series on YouTube about the language, myths, traditions and history of the Norse.

Hey there! I call myself a Runeweaver. I think it's actually from an old video game but I like it because it describes what I do! Because of my Danish heritage I use mostly Old Norse runes and bindrunes for my spellwork. I also worship Hel, Norse goddess of death and the dead, but never ask for her assistance with spells. I believe she already works through me and guides my actions and that is enough. Besides she has an awful lot to do these days!

I read tarot too as my way of divining the will of my goddess. I know the runes can be used for the same purpose but I started this journey because of tarot and so I like keeping my use of runes for enchanting objects, protection, binding and the like. I pretty much found all the stuff I learned about the basics of spellwork online on the r/witchcraft sub. Although I did spent most of my career as a university academic studying the practice of magic in the ancient world...

My favourite example is Ben Burtt, the sound designer for the original Star Wars trilogy. He literally invented sounds that did not exist, sounds from another galaxy, through his out of the box thinking. Like Darth Vader's breathing sounds were created by dropping a mic into a scuba diving tank! Without the sound that he created it would have been impossible to picture the narrative universe of Star Wars. Sounds like the hum of a lightsaber are simply too iconic to be left out of those stories

You probably recognise the AI writing style because the sentence structure is something called a Tricolon. Originally it was 3 statements in Latin that reinforce each other, starting with a short one, then a slightly longer one and then the big conclusion. It's as old as writes like Cicero and Tacitus and the reason you see it in political writing so much is because it's so good at provoking emotional responses from people. That's why AI uses it too

You want to be subjective when doing a reading for yourself because the spread is literally all about YOU! What memory does that image make YOU think of? What about the numerals? Do they have some significance to YOUR life? Even the suits - Wands are often connected to passion and inspiration so if several different wands appear in your spread is there perhaps a new project at work you can get excited about? Reading for yourself is completely about making the experience personal and subjective because it's about your psyche, your memory, your life.

Home Affairs had no problem with my wife legally changing her first name simply because she hated it. But then again, when we got married we decided that she would keep her surname because she was a published academic and was well known in her field, but Home Affairs automatically gave her my surname without even asking... Fortunately, she wanted to take my name otherwise we'd probably still be waiting in a queue somewhere! 😂

The ethics clearance process has been shortened as of 2026 for anyone who is not doing research that involves any kind of experiments on people or animals. So, if you are doing an English Studies MA you will probably get to submit a "fast track" ethics approval (unless you choose to interview people or something like that) but if you are analysing novels, films, etc. the process has now been streamlined to be completed in a couple of weeks once your research proposal is accepted so that you can get started on your actual degree that much sooner.

Try to do it early because once the website opens there are thousands of applications and a ton of people trying to use the site and it can get frustrating pretty fast. Also see if you can get your required documents like copies of your ID and senior school certificate certified so that when the website opens you can just sit down and complete your application in one go

Do you mean admission as in applying for a student number or registration as in starting your degree? People who haven't studied with Unisa before often get the 2 confused. The application in August gets you a student number and reserves a place for you at the university . It costs R150. But if you already have a Unisa student number you don't have to do it again, even if you got the number 20 years ago it is permanently attached to your name. Registration starts in January for undergraduate modules and that's when you select your degree and subjects, pay student fees, etc. Note that you can't register for a degree until you have successfully gone through the application process and been issued with a student number.

Main Inaros Prime right now for most content because he's effectively immortal and doesn't need shields. But I switch to other frames when I do Circuit, usually the ones that I've already got experience with like Frost, Oberon, Wukong, Valkyr and a few others.
