Beat me to it. Was an amazing webcomic. Gotta see if I still have my sword-chucks around.

Add Bird-in-Hand and Blue Ball, PA to that list.

Had to cut out both my parents and sibling due to their homophobic remarks and my coming to terms with being gay. The politics just furthered the gap, and the last time I spoke with them in early 2023, “It’s all about that woke generation” came out of my dad’s mouth and that was the end. I don’t expect to hear about their passing, and I’m not sure I’ll care, despite them seemingly raising me to be a decent person. These are two humans who canvassed for Obama in '08 & '12, so it was sad to see them devolve.

Over the pond here in PA, here’s our little void cat, Sweetie, AKA Sweets Petites from the Streets. She is a rescue from street life and shitty neighbors.

I like your answer more than what I was gonna type up :P

Up until a couple days ago, I was using uBO & PrivacyBadger in tandem. Maybe I’ll back to that, as I sit closer to your viewpoint vs giving ads any revenue stream. It’s kinda in the same realm as why I’d buy a game using CDKeys vs pirating/torrenting. It’s a morally grey area that makes it somewhat redeemable, but the point still stands. In AdNauseum’s case, you really can’t tell what ads are clicked on and therefore don’t know what any revenue stream is going in to which pockets you can inspect the ads it clicks on after the fact, but the money for said clicks still go somewhere, even if it’s in the fraction of a fraction of a cent.

Heh, I may just switch back. Thanks?.. Yeah, thanks!

I’ve just started using AdNauseum, which I think builds off of uBlock Origin, but also silently clicks and hides ads instead of just the latter. So far it seems to work pretty well, although I did have to set some sites to strict blocking.

Dunno if it’s MP compatible yet, but the newly released Day One mod attempts to simulate the first day of the Knox Event. Tons of NPCs (using a new engine instead of the built in AI), bombs dropping, different factions, etc. Crazy experience thus far, and you’ll probably die faster if you’re not careful.

Still can’t wait for build 42 tho.

I’m getting strong Mega Man X vibes from this.

Where’s the broodwich?

'Cause right now on earth I can’t do jack

What Aiden did was a heinous and horrible outcome, but I can’t get over the deadnaming and pronoun misuse, regardless their actions and motivations. Not defending their actions, killing is bad m’kay? They had a lot of built up hatred, and combined with poor mental health, not surprising if it was instigated by the Convenant School whilst they attended. Overall, however, it looks like they were confused and broken.

I’d be curious to see if you can install the patch that reintroduces the E3 graphics and how that’s handled on the Deck. Not sure on the how-to with SteamOS.

It’s not a full size vacuum, but I just picked up a Roomie Tec Stick Vacuum during Prime days for $45. I just looked on amazon.de, and there’s only one Roomie Tec vacuum, not the same as above, but it’s been good enough for a 500+sqft basement with a few throw rugs and 2 cats worth of fur.

Right there with you. Suffered with fractions in 4th grade, did okay from there until trig in high school (sophomore year?), then failed hard in calc 1 over the course of 5 undergrad tries. Finally got it, but damn, my brain could not handle the theoretical stuff. Maybe methods have changed in 20+ years, but that shit sits with you.

Don’t Get in the kiln

4 cats. We feed them all wet food (Friskies/Tastefuls) morning and night, and have an auto-feeder for 3 of them. The 4th has a kibble addiction so the auto-feeder has a RFID tag which locks upon him getting close, and we feed him ~1/4 cup dry food early afternoon.

I figured that was the case, but what’s the fun of modding without some screwed up textures, some futzing around with the 254 esp limit, and a couple of annoying CTDs?

I never finished The Witness either, but I kinda wished I would have, as the philosophical nature and puzzles were both very engrossing, such a unique take on the “walking simulator” style of game. Granted, it was much more than that, and I’d actually compare it closer to Myst and Obduction than such. The puzzles were repetitive but just incentive enough to be engaging and twisted in just the right way, though they got devilishly difficult later on. Sucks about the motion sickness though. Wonder if there was an .ini swing which could’ve turned the filter off?

Though, all in all, this was definitely a difficult “separate the art from the artist” scenario.

Not sure how or if it’s mess up current saves or not, but if you’ve not considered it yet, is would recommend trying it A Tale Of Two Wastelands. Merges FO3’s Capital Wasteland with FNV’s Mojave via train ride. Keeps all the mechanics as well.
