Crumbling away to reveal a fire that still burns within (or something like that aaaa)

As you well know, after the Patch 6.1 maintenance is over, Cape Westwind ceases to exist as a trial, and Ritalin will be an instanced fight instead.

If you glanced at Party Finder at all yesterday, you might have noticed the numerous parties formed to take on Cape Westwind one last time, as a last huzzah, the final send-off to everyone’s favorite mulligan of a roulette meme, with various rules attached. Some of these would be regular runs, but others would spice things up, being minimum iLvl and no echo runs, to truly send him Ritalin off to the greener pastures of single combat, Cape Westwind EX, if you will.

But there were yet others who took it one step further, who wouldn’t be satisfied with an Extreme clear, no, these swashbucklers of intrigue, these gladiators of furore unmatched, of pulchritude and sagacity wanted the highest honor in all fourteen of the fantasies that near finalization: Cape Westwind Savage.

Cape Westwind minimum iLvl no Echo no gear weapons only.

Eight nudist neantherdals bared their chiseled, battle hardened bodies against the magitek of the empirer’s finest shield.

And thus battle was joined! 

Bone and sinew clashed with steel and ceruleum, the battle to close the curtains on an enduring legend, acta est fabula!

But… It wasn’t easy.

Ritalin truly is the mightiest soldier, Gaius’ shield, nay, his walking, breathing fortress!

His Shrapnel Shell shreds through Gladiators and Marauders alike with ease! WInds of Tartarus pose much peril for fragile Rogues and Arcanists! Naught a Thaumaturge nor a Conjurer can dare to withstand his mighty Drill Shot! And the less is said about the dreaded potency of those Magitek Missiles, the better.

But what our heroes lacked in garments, they made up for in sheer valor.

Countdown after countdown, ready check after ready check, these perfect specimens broke their bodies against Ritalin’s mighty shields once and twice and thrice until… Until…

…The shields could withstand no more, and they cracked beneath the nude might of these peerless exhibitionists.

And Gaius’ Shield was no more.

Hark, lo!

They who shed their impure raiments embraced with victory intimately, branding unto their very essence the lipstick of glory forevermore!

Thus ends the legend of Ritalin, pierrot of Cape Westwind, and the eight Menaces of Light who sent him off to better pastures, where he will have many friends and a lot of space to run in.

See you around, Cape Westwind, may your reincarnation provide ARR players all around the world with a fun encounter, preferably one in which they get keep their clothes.

let me know if any of the links are dead and ill update them as soon as i can!

So I've setup a Kofi page, in case anyone feels like tossing coin my way. My disability aids have been cut significantly within the last few years-ish bc our government fucking hates disabled people. I'd be basically living poverty if I wasn't still under my parents' roof and I cannot afford to move out anyway.

I offer some art, but you can also dm me for an idea and we can negotiate a price from there if it's outside of what I have listed! Thanks. I recommend messaging me here on Tumblr regardless though! Just so I can keep track of who you are and how your comm goes :)

this is going to have me on my hands and knees dry heaving

what the FUCK man.

You know how some people talk about timeless themes in literature and you kind of low-key think they're full of shit? Sometimes they're not.

You too can get the satisfaction of maiming or killing a spy embedded in your organization.

HELL YEAH DESHITTIFICATION!

For everything we do here, please be sure to be careful with what you edit, and restart your computer to lock things in. If you don't have access to the Group editor, (likely to happen if you're on base windows) you can do this as well by opening your Registry Editor app, then inputting this after your 'computer' or whatever the initial segment is. (Mine is computer. If I just try and paste the below string it gets SO mad at me)

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot

Navigating to your "turnoffwindowscopilot", hit modify, and set the value data to 1.

If done correctly, it'll look like this.

While we're at it, you can also get rid of the integrated search, (or that thing where it searches the web when you search anything, whether or not you want it to) and such through regedit as well.

Integrated search will have you going to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

Navigate to your "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" bit, if you don't see it, you can make it by right clicking and creating a new registry D-Word key of that exact name. Edit the key, set it to 1. It'll look like this if you do it right!

To get rid of Windows Spotlight, (The thing where it pulls up ten billion pages on windows start page, shoving ads in your face and cluttering everything) we go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings

And set "Enabled State" To 0. If you do it right, it'll look like this!

Disabling edge on startup will also help a fair deal with processing speed and the like. This you can do in all sorts of ways, the easiest being turning it off entirely on startup through settings in the like.

If you want to kill it *entirely*, though? :)

In regedit, run along to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

Navigate to your MicrosoftEdge key subcategory. If you don't see it, you can make one! Note, this is a KEY, not a d-word. *inside* that subcategory, we want to either make or find the D-Word key of PreventLaunchEdge and set that to 1 in the same way as all the others. It'll look like this.

Aaaand while we're here, I'd HIGHLY recommend shanking Killer Networking Services. It's just bloatware. (Ostensibly it's supposed to monitor your network bandwidth and even things out, but that really means it's constantly monitoring and pinging things, which eats up the bandwidth you DO get, and also chunks your computer's processing power.) Getting rid of it entirely is borderline impossible, since it's set to redownload on regular updates and intel is very pushy with its updates.

This you can do by opening your Services.msc, which basically shows you all the background stuff that Windows does. Find Anything with Killer in the name, right click it, go to properties, and disable startup. It should look like this, if done successfully. It will probably reenable itself in time/in later updates for windows, but it's a quick fix. I'd also check your TaskScheduler app to make sure that nothing's scheduled to open up there, either.

If you CAN completely kill Killer services through uninstalling and the like, I would warn that at very least for my computer, the only ethernet/lan support applications that are available ARE Killer's. When you download updates, you really do have to do it manually and ONLY download the ethernet services, or just be cool with not having Lan functionality.

One last thing, not a shit application but is a shit service. If your computer's constantly overheating or just warm, you likely have Turboboost enabled. (Default setting that you can't change) If you want to be able to turn it off and drop your temps by like 40 degrees, in Regedit go to

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7

(Note- This isn't the string copy paste from the reddit thread, this is mine that does the same thing. If my string doesn't work for you, check the reddit thread string. If that doesn't work either, you can follow the path and find it pretty easily. Probably has like, one letter of difference somewhere. The bits all start the same, though, so it's easy to find.)

and go to "attributes". Set the value from 1 to 2, and now in your advanced Power Plan settings in control panel, you'll be able to *see* turbo boost and turn it off.

It'll look like this, and in power options, a successful disabling of boost should look like this.

Turning off quick startup's also a good call, since that basically stops your restarts from actually shutting things down properly.

GOOD LUCK OUT THERE YALL. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR PC!

I would like to once again recommend to you all Winero Tweaker, a free program that lets you adjust a bunch of windows settings with a single click instead of digging through 30 different setting screens and registry entries.

There's well over a hundred settings, here's just a few of them:

(sorry the classic taskbar option no longer works with current windows 11 version)

Fair warning: This is a powerful tool which means it can also do some damage if you don't know what you're doing, but every setting comes with an extensive explanation, as you can see in the Ads and unwanted apps screenshot.

This tool will even turn windows 11 from a bloated mess into a (more or less, this tool isn't magic) usable operating system.

Some tech advice for you all from my personal blog. I figured the more people see this the better, and I got a lot more followers on this blog.
