A pink moon.It was aSubmitted by pinkmoonpoet on April 14, 2014 - 5:11pm.
A pink moon.It was a forbidden love from long ago. Still whispering softly after years and years. It won't stop until it winds around again, dangerously entangling two lives separate.
Her heart skips a beat, hasn't done this since years long gone past. What is this!?! She suddenly can't stop the fluttering, she smiles, remembering innocent tender embraces. His plump rosy childish lips. So similar they were bound by the laws of the universe to meet again, no amount of time or distance could keep them apart. Secret lovers, unbearably passionate that no one but they alone will ever understand.
And she waits. Because she knows the power of this and the inevitable. She waits with a hidden smile of joy in her heart. Waiting for his words that will cover her body. They only need a quick glance, to know that yes!
This does exist! A forbidden love that can only be allowed to entwine once in a pink full moon.
To spare the heartbreak it would cost to others, and knowing that only this way would it ever feel like this any way, to meet more than once in a pink moon would destroy the pureness of this, thing. To remain hidden, known only to the two of them.
But this passion makes them to better love the one who awaits at home. The rock at home that each needs to hang on to because to let their wild hearts go recklessly would break them forever. Break the rocks and these star-crossed lovers. Only once when a pink moon comes about, and the universe is forced to unite two hearts again in their strange entangled lives.
You arent able to apply this tweak for all classes because the file wont run unless there are a certain amount of characters in the Coalesced file. You can learn about it. All of your ammo regenerates over time but if you overheat your weapon, you use thermal clips to cool it down as opposed to using the thermal clips as ammo.This mod breaths life back into ME2.Btw, its best to play on the hardcore difficulty with this mod.edit: The last few things i did were tweaks. First, to skip the Bioware and EA Logo screens look.My second change allows any ONE class to be able to equip any weapon. One of the many changes HC mod makes is how your ammo works.

What is star hopping? What does that mean?
Amateur astronomers use star hopping to go from stars and constellations they know … to ones they don’t know yet. First, look for noticeable patterns on the sky’s dome. One very easy pattern to find at this time of year is the constellation Orion the Hunter. You’ll find it descending in the west after sunset. Orion is easy to find because it contains a very noticeable pattern of three medium-bright stars in a short straight row. These stars represent Orion’s Belt.
If you can find Orion, you can use it to star hop to Sirius, the sky’s brightest star, in the constellation Canis Major. Orion and Sirius are dropping into the sun’s glare at this time of year, so be sure to look for them soon after the sun goes down.
And that’s how you come to know the constellations. You use what you’ve already learned to build outward to find new patterns.
View larger. Another example of star hopping. The two outer stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper always point to Polaris, the North Star. Photo by EarthSky Facebook friend Abhijit Juvekar. Thank you, Abhijit!
Bottom line: Find new stars and constellations by star hopping from ones you already know.
