Identifying Dragons: Otaria

Even though it was one of the places in Dominaria that was relatively untouched by the Phyrexian Invasion, Otaria still experienced its own brand of devastation. The Mirari artifact tempted many and mutated the land’s creatures, and the young god Karona plunged the continent into civil war. Even more, her presence attracted something else.

Otaria by Charles Urbach

Many had gone to Otaria in search of refuge and power. The dragons of Otaria came from within and without.

What to Expect

Imperial Hellkite by Matt Cavotta

Many kinds of dragons exist in Otaria. Most are red-aligned, some are green-aligned, less than a handful of known kinds are blue- or white-aligned. As such, expect many different variations in physical features, scale color, and breath weapon.

Dangers

Dragon Tyrant by Kev Walker

Breath weapon: various

The dragons living in Otaria are a strange bunch. Before the Mirari appeared in the continent, there were already dragons there. After the Phyrexian Invasion, some might have migrated to Otaria for many reasons; Rorix Bladewing is one such dragon. With the Mirari’s power radiating through the land, some might have eventually become mutated. During Karona’s appearance, more dragons have flown towards the continent, attracted to her aura of power.

Kilnmouth Dragon by Carl Critchlow

Dragons can also be found flying and nesting among mountains. Near the southwest portion of the continent are the Pardic Mountains, home of dwarves, barbarians and goblins. Adept dragon mages, destructive kilnmouths, commanding imperials, and nightmarish worldgorgers all live in Otaria, each with a form more dissimilar from the last.

“We speak the dragons’ language of flame and rage. They speak our language of fury and honor. Together we shall weave a tale of destruction without equal.”

Dragonspeaker Shaman by Kev Walker

Some of the region’s inhabitants have learned to commune with the dragons. Dragonspeaker shamans tame them or at least form alliances with them, the shamans easily calling out to the dragons when needed.

Living within the forest of Krosa is a peculiar variety of dragon. The Krosan dragon is a six-legged behemoth with an armor of vines and sharp thorns, a long, massive tail that can whip enemies away, and a breath of mist that makes vegetation grow on surfaces it comes in contact with. Smaller, younger specimens were sometimes forced to fight in the pits of Cabal City. In one incident, the death-cry of one of these dragonettes summoned a fully-grown Krosan dragon to the city, causing havoc on the path to the arena. No depictions of Krosan dragons exist.

Quicksilver Dragon by Ron Spencer

Elsewhere on Otaria are eternal dragons, ethereal creatures that never seem to disappear and quicksilver dragons, sleek sea-soaring creatures with reflective hides. A vampire dragon is also said to terrorize Otaria, identifiable by its long upper canines.

“When the skies are filled with flames, the brave shall step forward to quench them.” —Order prophecy

Dragonstalker by Ron Spencer

With the proliferation of dragons during Karona’s war, there have been attempts to counter them. Dragonstalkers were aven warriors who took to the skies to fight these new threats.

Perhaps these new dragons have dispersed once Karona disappeared, and perhaps there were even less during the Rift Crisis. Still, Otaria has always been a land of strife; do not tread on it lightly. Especially now that Dominaria has started to recover, in such dangerous lands, always expect adversity.

Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike — and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)

[mothwizard]

oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!

[ms-demeanor]

Please please please please please please don't install a 2007 out of support microsoft product, just use Libre Office, an open source office suite that gets regular updates and is going to be NOT a massive point of vulnerability on your system.

Also if you get 365 Apps for Business it's the same office products without the AI stuff for about $70 a year.

the last but not least of the june patreon prompts, SpaceDancer asked for a transmasc lawyer humanoid earwig and this is pretty much what it says on the tin.

"Have you been in a car wreck? Do you need out of an unfair, and frankly, impossible to survive contract with your "good neighbors"? Are you pretty sure you had a child but the memories of them and only them have been fading by the day ever since your birthmark reshaped itself into the outline of a cowbird? Do you want to sing the blues AND keep your soul? Well now you can rest easy, because your new fairy lawfather is on the case! The Golden Courts may call me a traitorous scourge who only escapes my deserved destruction through infuriating technicalities, but you can call me Eloh Pool, attorney at cross-veil law.

Lawful Good not doin' it for ya? Time to try the Lawful Best.™"

this is Eloh and he is an absolute menace. he was born in a less than savory part of the veil that's really big on deals and contracts, but instead of using his powers to settle down at a nice crossroads or wander around glamored to the gills looking for marks, he decided that loophole hunting was way more fun. there's just something about taking apart a deal with the devil that gives him a rush hustling mortals can't provide. also he gets paid. Like, Paid paid. clients usually pay with one small act or item that goes towards solving one of his other cases (much easier to source dealbreakers that way) but his opponents pay up big when they lose (mostly because none of them think they'll lose as the majority of them are gambling addicts used to rigging the game).

he's always on the lookout for a challenge and these deal makers love to brag, so if you entered some kind of supernatural deal and his card spontaneously shows up in your mailbox before it even goes into effect then you fucked up.

windows 10 is garbage so every time i boot up the computer i have to run command prompt and enter

net.exe stop “Windows Search”

so that the shitty goddamned search/cortana feature that i never fucking use stops running in the background taking up all my fucking disk space

[amis-amai]

y’all didn’t even add a tutorial of how to do this so imma put one right here 1. type in cmd.exe into your windows search and right click on Command Promt search result and select “Run as Administator”. 2. Type/Copypase in  net.exe stop “Windows Search” and make sure Windows Search is in quotations. It should then respond saying “The Windows Search service is stopping” and then tell you it’s stopped. This is only a temp fix though, if you want it switched off permanently then do THIS: 1.  Press the Windows key + R at the same time and type in services.msc. 2.  Scroll until you find Windows Search and double click it to enter its Properties window. 3.  Change the Startup type to Disabled. Apply this change and you can exit out. VOILA, NO MORE TAKEN UP DISK SPACE

This infamous people search site is back after leaking 3 billion records - how to remove your data from it ASAP

National Public Data is back online. Protect your privacy from it now - and check if other people-search sites have your information.

Over a year ago, National Public Data (NPD), a search site for people, earned a place in privacy infamy for a security breach that revealed the personal data of 3 billion individuals (that's billion with a "b"). Now, after disappearing, NPD is back. As ZDNET sister publication PCMag reported, NPD is open for snooping again under a new owner, the rather mysterious-sounding Perfect Privacy LLC.

Oh boy. Better head over to nationalpublicdata.com and see if your profile is there. Then follow the handy instructions in the ZDNET article to have yourself removed:

How to remove your information from NPD

Search your name on nationalpublicdata.com.

When you find your profile, click "View Full Profile."

Copy its URL.

Go to nationalpublicdata.com/optout.html.

Drop the URL into the "Your Profile Link" field and click "Request Removal."

Enter an email address, and the site will send you an email requesting that you click to confirm deletion. 

You'll need a separate email address for each profile you want to delete. 

[ralfmaximus]

Are you listed at the National Public Database site?

I was, and it was accurate. I requested removal.

I was, but it was only somewhat accurate. I requested removal.

I was, but everything was wrong. I requested removal.

I am. I tried to remove myself but it didn't work.

I get so scrungly when people bring up protecting “trans” kids. As someone who was once a child(I know crazy right?) I was never subjected to LGBT anything. There weren’t trans kids everywhere all through my school years from kindergarten to senior year. There were maybe 1-3 gay kids I can even remember schooling with in high school, and no one mistreated them. They also didn’t constantly wave it in our faces and make it their whole personalities.

So when I hear people talk about the sudden uptick in trans and gay kids, you have to really wonder WHY it’s happening. The reason is simple: grooming and social influence. It’s now trendy and cool to be LGBT. You get special treatment and you are treated like you belong somewhere. Something that many impressionable kids and teens want is a place where they belong- just like when I was a kid. We all wanted to be jocks or preps or fit in with the emo kids- really insert anything peer pressure related that we thought would make us cool. Now it’s all about financial trends, social media clout, LGBT and fitting in by labeling yourself. That’s not normal, that’s something that has been forced upon so many young people and groomed into so many others.

There’s also an uptick in adults realizing they were never gay or trans to begin with. It was all a phase that was pressured by either kids around them or worse- adults preying on them. I have hope that more and more adults will realize they were just going through a phase and come out of it. You shouldn’t need to change your gender or wear a sexuality as a badge for acceptance from people around you. And we really need to be about getting kids away from social media and teach them how to be their own persons. It’s alarming how many people FIGHHT for kids to have access to LGBT and NSFW content/websites and physical venues. (Staring disrespectfully at pride parades and drag shows).

Social media is FULL of creepy adults that are quite frankly grooming minors into the LGBT cult-like system. And I say cult because in my experience people tell you to either accept it or die. Hell, even LGBT people tell other LGBT people they don’t matter and they should die if one of their beliefs doesn’t align with the core ‘rules’. (Which are made up by people anyway).

So please, educate your young people in your life. Help them see they don’t need to change to be loved. They don’t need to be queer to be accepted. And they don’t need to be listening to random adults online to get validation. Kids really do need protecting, this much is true. But they need protecting from the people manipulating and preying on them.

And here we are with more "Israelis commit genocide by not laying down and dying" nonsense. The leftoid hamasniks consider (and have done so for a while now, like since 2014 I believe) the Iron Dome to be "unfair." If equal numbers of Israeli citizens cannot be meaningfully harmed by indiscriminate attacks and even attacks designed to target civilians, then "What do they have to lose by committing genocide?"

It's a childish desire for balancing the scales. Too many Palestinians die for every Israeli, but also the several dozen to hundred or even thousand Palestinian prisoners exchanged for Israeli hostages is also dehumanizing them? I'm not sure how that works.

It has no practical purpose in the real world. If Israel had no Iron Dome, Gaza, and ultimately Iran (probably Hezbollah too) could pummel Israeli civilian infrastructure and population centers and, they hope, wear down the Israeli psyche to the point they all just get up and leave. But again, as many dead Israelis as they can make before that point is nice too. Israel is "too cocky" in a sense because there are no "consequences" despite the UN passing 30 bogus resolutions a day about it and Jews everywhere are increasingly being targeted.

I guess that's a side of the same coin. "We should be able to kill Jews because it's unfair that we can't because they're eeeevil!" Whether that's in Israel or in the Diaspora. That's all purely out of childish spite, but also an unrealistic geopolitical strategy where they think it would break Israel's spirit and it would agree to just dissolve itself or maybe even succumb to conquest. As if Israel wouldn't double down, hit back even harder and more recklessly.

But that would allow the cycle to continue. Spread propaganda, erode Western support/sympathy for Israel, attack it, cull the Jews, drive as many away as you can, use its retaliation as the script for the next propaganda campaign, repeat.

Because let's get to the core of the issue. If Israel had no Iron Dome, probably no shelters too, and no advanced air force or intelligence, if the playing field were even, that would change nothing. The antizionists would only cheer for Israel's downfall more eagerly because it would be more achievable. The conflict would not reach a morally neutral ground in their eyes, not even close. Israel willingly leaving itself vulnerable would not be applauded as a virtue, it would be seen as a weakness that the antizionists feel they have the "right" to exploit. Then they will achieve their political goals unencumbered (forget about the nuclear arsenal, don't worry about that).

It's just about wanting as many Jews to die as possible.

[otakuvampyre]

This is the most blatant I've seen them state that they view it as genocidal that Jews won't lay down and die.

A couple of years ago we were all terribly concerned about the fact that a lot of American high schools are assigning such crushing homework loads that some kids literally don't have enough time to eat or sleep (and all this in spite of the fact that there's no good evidence that assigning homework actually improves academic outcomes at the pre-university level), but now we're hearing stories about those same schools struggling to stop kids from using ChatGPT to write their essays and suddenly It's The Children Who Are Wrong. Like, do you think maybe there's a certain level of cause and effect in play here?

[prokopetz]

"Okay, but what if both are bad" see, I don't think any framing that implicitly puts the school administration that thinks it's reasonable to assign thirty hours of homework per week and the student who has to choose between writing an essay the old-fashioned way and getting more than two hours of sleep tonight on equal ethical footing is productive.
