The more I think, the less I remember there being many beast race NPCs that are actually hostile. Its almost always Dunmer, Bosmer, Imperials, or Nords.

I started playing Battlefront 2, the newer one, with some friends because it was 4 dollars on Steam. I think it sucks, even with all the micro transaction stuff pulled out.

The visuals and sounds and vibes of Star Wars are excellent.

But heroes ruin any big game mode because they aren’t a special powerful unit that shows up once or twice a match, there is almost no delay in someone being defeated as a hero and someone else being able to spawn as them if they have the points. So you get a constant stream of Jedi bullshit all game that let’s the winning team steamroll even harder.

Factions are not balanced, especially with randoms. A few Droideka rolling into an objective wins half the CIS matches. Super Battle Droids are in every way superior to Empire troops.

Star Cards are still grindy to unlock, making small game modes also suck. You aren’t winning a 1v1 against someone who just has 40% more health than you. Let alone a squad of them all working together with maxed cards.

Spawns are an issue where you can spawn in the line of fire and die instantly or have someone spawn immediately to your left.

For 4 dollars I got my money’s worth but I think it’s a bad game in almost every respect and I probably won’t play it any more after this second week.

The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991, etc.

Does anyone know what I am talking about when I ask for this source I saw on Hexbear a long while back?

It was a former US military official explaining US nuclear policy as essentially “in a nuclear event, launch our missiles at anyone snd everyone, including allies. In the confusion, nobody will know it was us, and we prevent any any other country having an advantage over us in the Mad Max Future. We will be the only nation standing in the dust”.

Thats a lot of paraphrasing but a good gist. I’m trying to explain to someone why its so dangerous to be in a direct war with the US and why having nukes is one of the only real defenses.

Almost had a panic attack because I feel isolated and stuck in chud land but the area I plan to move to has literally no rentals that allow more than 2 pets. I have 3. It’s been a decade since I’ve lied about having pets I wasn’t supposed to and younger me wouldn’t care at all, but I don’t want to risk getting evicted and being stuck in the same situation again. It’s probably gonna come down to hiding a cat as well as possible. My current landlord is very nosy and would have figured it out by now if we had to lie here. Renting is so stressful.

For the air filters, the lowest cost but least effective is to literally just tape a square/rectangular filter to the intake of the fan, turn it up a notch, and put it in the room you spend the most time in or that gets the worst of it.

More effective is setting up a Corsi-Rosenthal box with the fan, a few filters, and some duct tape.

After that, you can buy something like a cheap a Levoit purifier with the smoke filters. Sorry for Amazon link. I use one of these though and turn it up to high on days when the smoke is bad, but just run it 24/7 on low otherwise.

For real big ones, you usually need to mount them in the window and have large ducts/block off the rest of the window, etc. They’re way more expensive and complicated/limiting. More effective too, but only marginally so over something like the Corsi unless you live in a very large space.

For hair in the drain, a dollar drain catch like this is great.

I’m also running Linux, so that might have something to do with it, but I also see performance complaints from people I assume are Windows users on .

I’m playing with one other friend and they’re super into base building, whereas that’s not really my thing, so I go out and get the supplies from raiding camps and they put it all together. It works out.

But yeah, I read they were working on performance improvements for the next few patches before addressing complaints people have about stuff like PvP, which I haven’t participated in yet. Still only in the 2nd/3rd zone and haven’t unlocked all the classes or anything.

Is it only one? And is that one plugged into the CPU Pump slot? Fans in that slot usually run at 100% constantly unless set to PWM mode in the BIOS and after that, can still do it momentarily before your BIOS or any fan control software you’re using tells it to calm down.

Might not be that, but I’ve seen it several times.

Dune Awakening. I normally don’t like these kinds of games but I’m a big Dune head and although it needs to break lore for thr sake of fun, the aesthetics are all there. I’m about to build a body juicer to uo my supply of water.

Like all games in this genre though, it runs like garbage and its kinds frustrating to go from butter smooth gameplay to 20 FPS stuttering in the middle of a gun fight or when trying to outrun a worm.

Is this a organization wide thing or a local thing? There seems to be huge variance in who actually organizes these, like some are from local Pro-Palestinian groups and others are from farmers or something.

Help me Mr. Morgenthau

Sad. But also fair. Any situation, whether in or outside of their control, that affects a US citizen traveling there will be a PR spin to justify further action against them. Like the kid in a coma who US doctors said had no signs of mistreatment but who the FBI(?) encouraged the parents not to seek an autopsy for. Have a seizure and hit your head while there? The evil commies must have clubbed you.

I hope this is what it means, but since companies like Microsoft and even the people working on the Linux kernel have to follow US laws, I’m betting support for them will be 0 as far as drivers and such. When Russia-Ukraine started, some Russian contributors were banned from contributing to the Linux kernel with Linus Torvalds being a little smug about it all and saying it was out of his hands since the Linux Foundation is based in California. And if China is creating its own motherboards and other parts also, why would they work on support for combining their tech with US hardware?

It’s not just me??? Why does Arrowhead taste so uniquely fucking weird?

I just started up a Morrowind game too!

I’ve played it a ton before, so I used the automated modlists for OpenMW this time and chose the Expanded Vanilla. I never really modded the game because I thought it was dumb to manually drag and drop 100s of mods in a certain order back in the day and modders didnt approve of adding their stuff to premade mod packs. So I just used to use maybe one broad texture upscaler and natural leveling mod.

I’ve turned off some of the gameplay changes, like an air dash that hurts you if youre out of stamina. I guess meant to discourage spamming jump. Its just silly though. Other mods are pretty cool though and I’m looking forward to the expanded content.

I’ll make it to Tamriel Rebuilt eventually.

We just need a forever expanding attribution list, even if we get rid of copyright.

X was created by Dave, Y was created by Eliza based on work by Dave, Z was created by Joaquin based on work by Dave and Eliza and so on.

Academics already do this when citing sources, just make everyone else do it too.

I’m 100% buying and AMD GPU whenever I decide to upgrade. Was looking at the 9060 XT that was just announced if it I can get near MSRP. Not sure if it’ll actually bench higher than my 3070 tho, it looks like it might just have fewer AI bullshit cores.

Dwarfs do have rune smiths (called rune priests in Warhammer Online) that are essentially wizards.

Simplest answer is often correct. Its when you goon with the homies.

Goebbels made up his vegetarianism to make him seem more sympathetic. His chef wrote later about all the stuff they made for him, including meat dishes. I can post sources later if you really want but should be easy to find cuz its a commonly debunked thing now.
