There is a way to do it with several mods that I did. It works great.

It’s true. There are a lot of articles like this one that go into more detail.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what they were thinking every time I see him macking on a girl, he comes across with all the subtlety of Beavis and Butt-Head.

The country won’t be able to do this because, as strange as it is, 33% of it is literally in a cult that worships the man. Only with the true and full will of the country behind you could you hope to do what needs to be done: full asset seizure and trial for crimes and treason and whatever proper associated punishment follows.

But you can’t do it, because he fully controls 1 out of every 3 people you see on the street in America. While that’s far from a majority, it’s enough to make a proper accounting impracticable. 33% of the country would be going feraljak about the government being weaponized.

But even beyond him, there’s something else that desperately needs doing and that’s an overhaul of the Constitution. The document was fantastic for 1787. It is woefully inadequate to run the modern United States. Its biggest shortcoming, ironically, is the absolute inability of government to properly and deftly respond to the very success that it’s principles have brought to it.

None of it’s going to get done until everybody is so miserable that they no longer have anything tribal on their stupid, small minds. There’s going to have to be real pain, like starvation and suffering going on before real change is going to be able to be effected because people are still fat and happy enough to sit around and guffaw while Trump owns the libs, even as the cost of everything around them doubles.

You did great for a first-timer! I made two sets of very similar stairs and I was very proud of them when I was done. They’re quite difficult to do but when you finally get in there, like you said, it clicks. Hardest part was getting the stringers right, second hardest part for me was the landing, since I poured concrete and as you can see, I got it wrong by about 6 inches, lol.

This was what came to my mind as well, however Google does let you turn off your history for YouTube and when you do that (as I do) it just shows a blank page when you go there, so that’s one way it can be done.

Nobody does it because everybody likes to pretend they don’t like the crack until they have to go without. I do it on principle because YouTube has single-handedly changed a particular member of my family, one of the most innocuous people in the world, to someone who has loathsome opinions. I hate it a lot and don’t want that for myself. I am on no social media that serves up anything based on your previous clicking behavior.

Gasoline is $5. Diesel is $7.

“What you lose” OK, lol.

Huh, I just switched to Quad9 this morning. Weird that this popped up.

Things I know I signed up for, on purpose or inadvertently, get one attempt at unsubscribing. If it fails, they’re spam and get treated as such. I never actually sign up for these things, but I accept that they put me on these lists when I make purchases or engage with them in some other way. I accept it, but I don’t like it - and my patience with them when I try to unsubscribe is extremely limited.

But things I “signed up” for and things Gmail asks me if I want to unsubscribe from - are two very different things. Gmail asks me that question several times a week. I “sign up” for things at a rate more like several times a year. Things that I didn’t subscribe to that want me to unsubscribe are just scammers trying to polish their lists up and I’m not gonna help them.

33% of this country thinks everything is going great and so would this asshole if his brother was still alive. I’ll feel a shred of sympathy for the first one I ever see say “I want to apologize to everyone whose lives were affected by my vote, I didn’t care about what happened to you, only me. I won’t make that mistake again.” I’m still waiting and I’ll be waiting forever because these sociopaths have not the slightest trace of empathy.

15 years later and the Photos app on iOS is still the same nearly useless pile of shit.

It’s not even in question. Closeted self-loathing homosexuals out themselves all the time with their constant, endless obsession with gay sex. Everything is gay sex. Cat’s kibble is low? Gay sex. Nice weather expected? Gay sex.

Sorry, I hadn’t heard anything about CE3 being done. I knew CE1 was Skyrim, I didn’t realize that FO4 was still considered to be on CE1, it was a pretty big step up, I’m surprised. So CE2 is Starfield, my thought process still stands, which is: I wouldn’t be surprised if they used Starfield as the basis for the Obsidian project, in much the same way as they used FO3 for FONV.

Anyway, it’s not important whether they use CE3 or however it washes out, I’m just actually excited by Obsidian doing a new Fallout. Todd can suck it.

What the hell. Some people prefer working on weekends for a whole host of reasons. Legislating days that a business can’t do business is stupid and when it’s a Sunday, it’s almost always the religious morons who pushed for it. It’s not coming from some altruistic give-people-more-time-off ideal.

I don’t believe that Obsidian will be using CE3, I believe they will use the same engine as FO4/Starfield. I don’t think they will be tasked with pushing the technology further now any more than they were tasked with it for FONV. They may extend it a bit (like how they added weapon mods in FONV) but their focus will only be on releasing an entertaining title quickly (and I think the whole idea to bring Obsidian in was a great decision on Microsoft’s part). I think the other group will be tasked with moving the engine forward for FO5 and ESVI.

I agree with your assessments of both FO76 and Starfield. I played them both, but only because I got free accounts for both of them, FO76 on Xbox and Starfield I got a month’s worth of free Game Pass and played it via streaming. They’re both terrible. FO4 was also pretty terrible, imo. I’ve enjoyed replaying the Oblivion remaster more than anything they’ve done since Skyrim. So, I’m also not holding my breath for what comes next and you might be 100% right, but I do like the Obsidian angle for this reason, if nothing else: the competition will put Todd’s incompetence on display. Todd’s not the only game in town now, and for the first time in over a decade, he might be feeling some heat.

Edit: if they do use the FO4 engine, I hope they correct every stupid mistake they made in FO4 the way you can do it yourself with mods.

They knew what they were doing.

Also what, like, Bethesda is going to somehow make the Creation Engine not a giant pile of shit, with now 15 more years of acculumated technical debt from never doing a full ground up rebuild… ?

We’ve been saying this since Morrowind: Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout NV, Fallout 4 - Gamebryo sucks, what are they going to do to this wheezing trash heap etc etc - and every time they do the same thing: update the graphics and gameplay marginally, introduce new elements (dual wielding magic, radiant quests, settlement building, whatever) release it as the “new” version (outrageously buggy ofc) and largely let the mod community fix it. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that’s probably what FO5 and ESVI will also do, it’s the path of least resistance and nobody will be bringing out their surprised Pikachu faces.

I don’t really care all that much because I like the games, none more than FONV, so I’d be happy for Obsidian to hot rod FO4 into something equally interesting.
