At just 16 years old, Jamey Ruth Klassen became a heroine by carrying out an impossible rescue

After swimming more than 180 meters across Georgia Bay, she dove more than 3 meters deep to pull from the bottom of the water an unconscious man whose kayak had capsized.

Without a second thought, she supported him on her shoulder and, exhausted but determined, brought him to shore with the help of a paddleboarder who had responded to her cries.

Christopher Robertson, 40, was revived and is alive today thanks to the courage of a teenager who did not hesitate to risk everything.

This act of heroism earned Jamey the Carnegie Medal, the highest civilian honor for bravery in North America.

Narcissists play a kind of mind game and their final move isnt just a simple trick, its their big show i call it the emotional houdini act. Its when they vanish in a way that leaves you confused, doubting yourself and questioning your reality.

Imagine this, after all the lies, manipulation and emotional ups and downs, just when you think it cant get worse, they disappear but they dont just leave, they take your confidence, your sense of self and even your trust in your own memories with them. Its not just ghosting, its making others believe a story that makes you look like the bad guy even your closest people might doubt your side of what happened.

This move is how they remind themselves and try to remind you that theyre the center of everything, they twist the truth, act like the victim or the hero and make it seem like you were the problem. Its their way of rewriting history, erasing your pain, your effort,s your voice...

But heres the turning point, that final trick, it's actually your freedom and when they vanish and rewrite the story, it means they've run out of moves, theyve shown you who they truly are, and thats not your loss, its your chance to break free.

Now you get to rebuild, you get to take back control of your story, your voice, your strength, this is where you rise stronger and wiser, everything they thought they destroyed becomes your power.

So when they play their final card, dont break smile because this is where you win, you take what they left behind and turn it into something unshakable. This is your new beginning and now youre in charge, you're the winner, the game is over and you came out on top.

These are some secrets a narcissist will never tell you:

1. You will always feel alone with me.

When you are with a narcissist, you will always feel alone—lonelier than if you were actually alone. This kind of relationship is without any real connection, without any love, without any real support; you have no one to share your feelings with. Yes, they are there physically, but you are really alone—emotionally, mentally, psychologically.

This is not a relationship, it is a one sided situational-ship. You do all the work for the relationship, and they stay only to take from you. They stay for no love or care, but for 'supply', everything is about them.

Your needs are irrelevant. Your feelings are dismissed, your voice silenced, you are made to feel you are "too much"—too needy, too clingy, too demanding. The only thing they can give you, in return, is loneliness. This is a silent treatment, stonewalling, cutting you off from family and friends, abandoning you in your need of them.

When you are alone, at least you have peace. You are not being hurt. But you hurt in every way when you are with them.

2. My personality is not real.

My personality isn't real—it's just bits and pieces that I've gotten from other people like you. I take whatever I want from people who have stuff I like about them because I think I am allowed to. I might talk like someone I just met, dress like my last partner, or pretend to enjoy your hobbies and interests as if they are mine. I could even pick the same job as you or follow the same career path as if I had an actual choice in the direction of my life.

The fact is, I am a collage of the ripped-off pieces. Without that collage of theft, I don't have a personality, I don't have an identity, there is nothing interesting about me. If you peeled back those stitches, you would find someone who is empty, boring, devoid of anything that would make for a meaningful relationship, family, or future. I don't know who I am or why I am here, I only know how to leech off the life of others and that's what I do.

Even your work is not safe. I will steal your ideas and present those ideas, phrases, images as my own because in my mind, I own you. You are not a person to me; you are an object I believe I have the right to use.

3. I secretly dislike you.

I don’t love you—I actually dislike you. I want you to think I love you more than you love me. The fact is, I keep you around strictly for a supply. I know, deep down, that I'm your greatest enemy. I want you to fail. I want you to be in pain. I feel powerful when you are in pain. I want you weak, and tired, and broken. If you have mental health breakdowns, it's just proof to me that I'm better than you.

I will belittle everything you do, I will downplay your successes, and I will make it seem like it is no big deal, "anybody could do it." Then I will dismiss the statement by justifying it as just joking or not meaning it, so you don't leave me. That said, from the bottom of my heart, I mean every hurtful and insulting thing I say to you. I know it, and I love it.

A father recently shared something on Facebook that really touched people. He wrote:

"The hardest part about being a single dad is going to a restaurant with my beautiful daughter. She tells me she needs to go to the bathroom, and I go with her, but people look at me strangely. She's my daughter, and I have to take care of her. I would never send her alone. It’s also really tough when I have to leave for work far away, and she cries and screams as I go. She calls me on video calls and tells me she wants me to come back to be with her. I love my daughter so much, and everything I do is for her to have a better future, so she has what I didn’t have at her age. I love her with all my heart, and I pray God blesses her with many years."

Not all men are the same. Some know how to love, respect, and even be fathers on their own.

Es gibt diese Woche ein paar Blender-Demos, die wohl ganz nett sind. Blendereverything hat eine Zusammenstellung von einigen der besten Blender-Videos gemacht. Man könnte sagen, es ist eine gute Gelegenheit, sich ein paar neue Ideen anzuschauen, aber irgendwie ist es alles ein bisschen... naja, gleichgültig.

Die Videos zeigen einige beeindruckende Techniken und kreative Ansätze, aber wenn ich ganz ehrlich bin, fühle ich mich nicht wirklich motiviert, sie mir anzusehen. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass ich einfach nicht in der Stimmung bin. Die Demos sind wahrscheinlich informativ und können den einen oder anderen inspirieren, aber es gibt so viele andere Dinge, die man auch tun könnte.

Manche Leute werden sich freuen, die neuesten Blender-Demos zu sehen, und sie werden die Videos wahrscheinlich auch genießen. Aber für mich ist es gerade einfach ein bisschen zu viel. Es ist nicht so, dass ich nicht gerne kreativ wäre, aber manchmal hat man einfach keinen Bock auf solche Dinge. Ich meine, wer braucht schon Blender-Videos, wenn man das Sofa und eine gute Serie hat?

Hier ist der Link zu diesen Blender-Demos, falls jemand interessiert ist. Vielleicht findet ihr ja etwas, das euch anspricht. Aber ich werde wohl einfach weiter chillen und auf etwas Besseres warten.

Bu ne ciddiyetsizliktir? "The Sims remade in Unreal Engine 5 is everything I didn’t know I needed" başlıklı bu yazı, tam anlamıyla bir hayal kırıklığı. Yıllardır aynı oyunun tekrar tekrar piyasaya sürülmesinden bıktık artık! Fan yapımı bir güncellemenin bu kadar övülmesi, oyun endüstrisinin ne hale geldiğini gösteriyor. Neden kendi oyunlarımızı geliştirmekten vazgeçip, sürekli olarak başkalarının projelerini övmeye yöneliyoruz? Bu, yaratıcılığın yok olduğu bir dönemin işareti.

Unreal Engine 5 ile yaratılan bu hayran yapımı Sims güncellemesi, gerçekten de "ihtiyacım olmadığını bilmediğim her şeyi" sunuyorsa, bu durumda beni pek de mutlu etmiyor. Oyun dünyasında bu tür fan yapımı projelerin bu kadar beğenilmesi, oyun geliştiricilerinin ne kadar tembel olduğunu da gösteriyor. Kendi ellerindeki muhteşem motorlarla harika oyunlar yaratmak yerine, neden sadece fan yapımı projeleri takdir ediyoruz? Bu bir tür "sırt sırta vermek" değil midir? Bunlar, gerçek oyun yaratıcılarının emeklerini hiçe sayarak, sıradan bir kopyalama girişimi!

Ayrıca, "hayran yapımı" demek, işin kalitesizliği ve amatörlüğü hakkında çok şey söylüyor. Bu tür projelerde genellikle kusurlar, hatalar ve düzensizlikler baş gösteriyor. Bunu görmezden gelmek, sadece sıradan bir tüketici olarak bizlerin gözlerini kapatmakla kalmıyor, aynı zamanda bu tür çalışmalara değer vermemek gerektiğini de unutturmamalı. Eğer hayranlar bu kadar yetenekliyse, o zaman neden oyun geliştiricileri bu yetenekleri değerlendirmiyor? Belki de endüstri, yaratıcılığı öldüren bir makineye dönüştü.

Sonuç olarak, bu tür fan yapımı projelerin övülmesi, oyun dünyasının ne kadar geriye gittiğini gösteriyor. Oyun firmaları, hayranları sadece birer tüketici olarak görmeyi bırakmalı ve bu potansiyeli değerlendirmelidir. "The Sims remade in Unreal Engine 5" gibi projelerin bu kadar abartılması, tüketim kültürünün bir yansımasıdır ve bu durum beni gerçekten sinirlendiriyor. Oyuncular olarak, daha iyi bir şey talep etme hakkımız var! Neden daha fazlasını istemiyoruz? Neden daha iyisini beklemiyoruz?

In a world where video games are delayed more frequently than my motivation to hit the gym, enter the grand spectacle of "Subnautica 2." Ah yes, the deep-sea adventure that promises to let us explore the underwater wonders of our wildest dreams, or at least until we hear about its latest hiccup. It seems Krafton has decided to throw a dramatic twist into the mix by accusing the studio's former leaders of being the culprits behind the game's delay. Really, guys? Blame it on the previous team? It’s like blaming last week’s pizza for your current diet struggles.

Let’s unpack this deliciously chaotic situation. So, Krafton is pointing fingers at the “old guard” of the studio, suggesting they’ve left the ship (pun intended) sinking into the abyss of development hell, while the new crew is frantically trying to bail out water. Reminds me of a classic sitcom where the new team is left to decipher the mess left behind by the previous cast. I can almost hear the theme song playing in the background: “Who’s to blame? The ones before or the ones who came?”

While we’re at it, can we talk about the timing? If there’s one thing that can’t be delayed, it’s the public spectacle of finger-pointing. Nothing screams “we've got everything under control” like a good old-fashioned blame game. It’s almost as if they think the gaming community will buy into the idea that the previous leaders were secretly conducting underwater karaoke sessions instead of working on the game. “Oh, you thought we’d be diving into a new world? Nah, we were too busy belting out sea shanties!”

And let’s be real, Subnautica 2 was always going to be a project filled with pressure, much like trying to hold your breath while swimming with sharks. Fans are eagerly waiting for any hint of news, while the studio plays the ultimate game of “guess who.” Spoiler alert: it looks like nobody wins in this round.

But fear not, dear fans! As we wait for the next installment of this aquatic adventure, we can drown our sorrows in memes about game development drama. Who needs to explore the ocean depths when we can explore the depths of corporate politics? Perhaps the next update will feature a new character: the Corporate Shark, a creature that thrives on chaos and confusion while delightfully munching on delayed deadlines.

So, here’s to Subnautica 2, the game that promises an exciting journey—eventually. While we gear up for what seems to be an epic saga of development delays and corporate blame, let’s raise our virtual glasses. Because nothing says “we care” like dragging your predecessors through the mud while we all wait for our underwater adventures.

What on Earth is happening in the gaming community? I can't believe the uproar surrounding the new update that allows players to experience ‘The Last of Us Part II’ in chronological order! Have we really become so lazy that we need everything spoon-fed to us? The game was designed with a nonlinear narrative for a reason, folks! It was meant to challenge our perceptions and force us to engage with the story on a deeper level.

This update is nothing short of a travesty! The beauty of ‘The Last of Us Part II’ lies in its intricate storytelling, where the overlapping timelines reveal the complexity of the characters and their relationships. By opting for a chronological gameplay experience, players are stripping away the very essence that made this game a masterpiece. Are we really going to ignore the hidden nuances and emotional depth that the original structure brought to the table? This is an insult to the art of storytelling in video games!

Let’s face it: this update feels like a desperate attempt to cater to players who can't be bothered to think critically or engage thoughtfully with the narrative. It’s a slap in the face to the writers and developers who poured their hearts into creating a game that fundamentally challenges conventional storytelling. Instead of embracing the complexity, some players are choosing the easy way out. It's embarrassing!

What’s even more frustrating is the sheer volume of praise this update is receiving. Are we seriously celebrating the dumbing down of one of the most profound gaming experiences of our time? This is a clear indication of how far we’ve fallen as a gaming community. We should be advocating for deeper narratives, not celebrating their simplification for the sake of convenience. Have we lost our appreciation for storytelling? Are we okay with trading complexity for simplicity?

Let’s not forget that gaming is an art form, and like any art, it should provoke thought and emotion. ‘The Last of Us Part II’ was never just a game; it was a narrative journey that explored themes of love, loss, and the consequences of our choices. By allowing players to experience the game in a linear fashion, we’re robbing them of the opportunity to feel the weight of those themes fully. Emotional impact is often found in the unexpected twists and turns of a nonlinear narrative!

In conclusion, if you think playing ‘The Last of Us Part II’ in chronological order will enhance your experience, you’re sorely mistaken. You’re only cheating yourself out of a rich narrative experience that challenges you to think. The gaming community should demand better, not settle for less. Let’s not allow this trend of convenience to overshadow the artistry involved in crafting stories that deserve to be told in their intended form.
