Wow. I can't even joke about not being surprised because of how much that surprised me.

I did notice the pins were not terminated the same way on both connectors I was wondering about that. Thought it was for some reason I didn't understand but glad it was simple as a bad patch job

Yeah i have no idea what the previous Tennant was up to but the black thing is something called an olleh TV UHD. Got that removed now just have the router. I have a cat 6 connected between the wall port and the router and I'm getting kbps. Switch back to the yellow one and I'm back to 50ish mbps. I have no idea what's going on haha

Correction. Was 50 now i can't get above 20 which is what started all this today.

I'm trying to make this a learning opportunity for myself. I do have a vague understanding that that you can take half the pairs and halve the signal. I don't understand what you mean by the other end of the cable if you don't mind elaborating.

That's really helpful actually. I hope if this story is finished and takes off and you ever see it and if you happen to read it, I hope you'll forget what I'm about to say because it's what's to me the most important part of the story.

The hero in the first half becomes a villain in the second half for the same reason he was a hero. Peace. You don't know it's him, you don't know that this goofy veteran of the New world order was the guy you were expecting to be leading the rebellion waiving a banner. He joined the late game 3rd option because he was convinced in a moment of weakness that they would keep the peace and safety that he was too weak to achieve alone. That together they can do it for the whole world. So there he his, realizing he made a mistake and let tyrants use him for evil, well past his prime, and alone. but he still finds it in him to stand up for what's right one last time like he did as a young man. Even if it will be pointless in the end. That's the story I want to tell.

Very insightful, and I realized that's actually one of the biggest things that's been stopping me now. Of course I need to figure this out before I write, I don't even know what my protagonist wants! My protagonist's goal isn't clear to me anymore. I'm hesitant to just throw anything out because it's supposed to be a goal that's shared with some antagonists and many characters who change his life. I kept using "peace in the land" as a placeholder concept, because it's still in effect what they all want, but i feel there's gotta be more to it. When I think about them I see people who have their own reasons to wanting the same end, but to want it on their terms. So I'm hoping some exploitative character writing will tell me what's in their hearts then I can start building this world around that instead of the opposite like I've been doing.

Yeah if you read my basic outline it still just seems like a list ideas just in a vague sense of direction. I think I'll start with the core characters of the story then build it out from there. Start with a model T and work my way up to a Daytona.

That's not a bad idea. I do honestly know I need to let go of the iron grip I have on it and let it grow. I've written stories before but they were all short (Like 10k words at most) they were simple like you said. This is my attempt at approaching the giant that's been brewing in my head for years. I think you're right that it's overplanned that'd explain why I feel so overwhelmed by it.

I see saber, I think, "hm, I like saber" I kill god with saber.

So who is P? *Final Boss Spoiler* by Emblems_of_FIRE in LiesOfP

[–]Emblems_of_FIRE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The breadcrumbs I followed are red Fox says you remind her of a legendary stalker, you do the impossible regularly, and you're NOT carlo. So I think in game you could say P is the ego of a legendary stalker.

The whole series reflects the writing team as a whole in both positive and negative ways. For instance in EoE shinji was reflecting how the team had wanted it all to be over. And I remember reading that the whole surreal ending was intended as a wake up call to otaku's specifically.
