The All Things Political Topic
Almost definitely is a scam, at least insofar as you'd be getting anything that you couldn't get from the general internet or by asking chatgpt. Shame you have to donate or you could have a lot of fun signing up for that under false names. The ability to say that sort of thing with something approaching a straight face was probably why he got the job. Along with all the ruthless aggression fratboy posturing and possessing the demeanour/ intellect of a Fox & Friends presenter. (Hardly an isolated sentiment/ incident though, no matter how awful Hegseth's presentation is to those cursed with woke DEI flaws like critical faculties. We got pro Russian shrubbery and Putin ordering troops to hold their ground to give the illusion they weren't retreating in Ukraine for example. There's definitely a subset of people who will take that sort of thing at face value without the slightest thought given)

I noticed DS2 has a Win10 version requirement. 1909+ I remember a game some while back that had me upgrade Win10 once (vs. my purchase version). My System Information says ---Version - 10.0.19045 Build 19045. No ##H2 included in the byline. Not surprising, it was a long while ago (could've been 3-4 years ago, might have been 4++ years, sorry I can't recall). Does 1909+ include Build 19045? Is my 19045 actually 1909/19H2 or 22H2 but mine's an early/not updated version which is why that byline doesn't mention any ##H2? (dangit, web search+version naming jumbo is too confusing)/

We were friends with China even during the iron curtain. In fact China was smuggling a bunch of stuff for us during the NATO aggression and we gave them the wreckage of the downed stealth bombers to study. Our relations have steadily improved since China turned communist and nowadays we probably have better diplomatic relations with them than we do with Russia.- What You've Done Today...or yesterday...or what you are doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!

That looks good, a Jaws theme integrated into a massive flood disaster 🦈- Military Thread: “An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.”
Is there a sense of irony in there, considering Albania used to be the only European country with close ties to China. Albanian was once the only second language allowed to be taugt in China (after the break between China and the USSR) Money talks I suppose edit: completely unrelated, but the Albanian language is actually a relic from the past, some sources claining it to be 6000+ years old. Basque is older still, but still on the old sidegibsonjason115 joined the community- Military Thread: “An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.”

Yes, it would be good to have a timeline. I'm now busy modding CP2077, but I'll move on and start another game soon and, when I do, the chances that I'll come back to TOW2 to finish it are slim.- Anime and Manga - New Season

Honestly, I would pay AAA price for Cipher abilities.- Lighting - 1. Changing colours (Groups of light at same time) - 2. floor lighting
Getting into building. I like lighting up the place, using colours to change the ambience. In that, using a lot of lights it can be painfully slow when changing lighting. A QOL improvement would be is to allow us to assign a switch to each light, and we use a single switch for a group of lights to change colours, and therefore have a few switches that'll change a bunch of lights each. Even though I'm not into effects, you could probably add effects beyond just colours into the lighting via the switches, similar to the RGB in PCs. It would be amazing in playgrounds for people setting a mood, such as a boss fight under red lights brightening at the speed of breathing. So I have seen people lighting under floors. but I have noticed when doing it myself, I have to use a lot of lights, and it causes a bad moving square patterns appearing that is annoying and not what I was expecting. In that though, it might actually be difficult to fix. It might be easier to just be able to use lighting resources (such as sap, dry grass etc) to infuse glow into the floors or walls that looks like there is lights behind them. You can then allow the floors to be assigned to a switch and we can change the glow whenever we want.- New bug in Aunties Choice questline
Joe Robinson replied to Jaimo150's topic in The Outer Worlds 2: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Just noticed that the status of this bug has changed from "Investigating" to "Fixed in a future patch." So....I guess that's good...at some unknown future date... Aren't hot fixes a thing? Kinda frustrating. Hopefully this future patch is soon.- Yesterday

The Pitt/HBO, ssn2, eps 8-9 Finally starting to get more interesting/compelling. Both in terms of hospital staff chrs, some patients, and a "tech/digital vs. analog" situation. Robby's arc (lead/Noah Wyle) this season is seeming fairly dark. Not in an over-dramatic way, it's more of a continuation of his 1st season state. Boyfriend on Demand/Netflix/k-drama --I only tried this one because of the cast list. A rom-com, where lead gal goes through usual IRL trials while testing this virtual-reality-bf tech (you wear a skinny eyepiece, maybe it connects to your brain, not sure). Apparently the best VR ever. The first episode was IRL setup, then the VR boyfriend stuff takes stage for a couple episodes. Those scenarios are big visuals and sometimes funny for ppl familiar with kdrama or k-romance webtoon tropes - more often it just feels like retread cheese. Beyond the stacked/pretty cast list, not even really guilty-pleasure/lulz binge worthy. I won't continue.- The TV and Streaming Thread: Enough episodes for syndication
