When i am entering a bin my first item enters that bin on occasion which turns the rest of my said item to hot deposit afterwards then i notice or even worst i notice my item gone later on and have to go back searching for it or them. this follows into one of my other threads of locking items to be able from moving into bins or moving around within menus.

Descent into fascism is a process not an end state. Examples: using government regulatory authorities to silence speech the powerful don't like. Plain clothes security forces rounding up people without due process. The Supreme Court using the shadow docket to push through blatantly unconstitutional decisions in favor of the current administration The rule of law being repeatedly ignored with no consequences I'd say that for the midterms to change anything the dems would have to have crushing victories in both the House and the Senate. I'm not sure, but I think in the Senate that's utterly impossible, even with the assumption of entirely free and fair elections. Also that assumption is becoming less and less guaranteed. Additionally, even if the dems win overwhelmingly, if they keep behaving in the same way they did during the Biden mandate, they will, at best, be an hiatus. I don't think Trump is necessary anymore, at this point the GOP seems entirely captured by its far right faction. Still, what happens to the GOP with a dead Trump is a bit of an open question. I sometimes have conversations with a colleague of mine who thinks Vance would be worse than Trump. I think he'd be a lame duck.

Good afternoon! I've progressed a lot more into the story, completing every O.R.C Transmitter quest. With that, I learned a major lesson: don't speak on the story and game progression until you've played the whole story. I was completely wrong about the cooler needing tier 2 equipment to get through. To be honest, I didn't really understand how the new chill mechanic worked and assumed it would freeze you forever...it doesn't. Additionally, I forgot about the Mite Muffs. I was able to get through the cooler with the mite muffs and a torch. I guess I assumed it would be like a mini version of the ice cream cart where there'd be enemies inside to fight and the environment would take longer to get through, but that's not the case. I no longer agree that the lingonberry hedge O.R.C transmitter should come first, because the Picnic bench transmitter takes you in that direction anyway. Grounded devs were way ahead of me on this one. While I still believe that I've made some good points about story progression in the past posts, I was uneducated about the majority of my points. Until I finish the story and side quests, I won't be making any more notes about game progression besides that I am so excited to see what is in store for the game because it's already so fun and has a lot of potential. I will however keep making notes about bugs, updates, and things I'd like to see. O.R.C Bugs I touched on this in my last post with the O.R.C bombardier beetles, but I've found another issue. The bombardier beetles still one shot me for some reason, even with fully upgraded ladybug armor, and even when the normal ones don't. Additionally, after finding the Hot Cha Cha's stash, I had to fight O.R.C weaver jr.'s and they would deal a third of my health with each hit. To me, this is enough proof that a mistake was made to give higher dmg output to some of the O.R.C. bugs in the game. To put it into perspective, I was able to kill multiple tier 3 wolf spiders without dying. Tier 3 creatures should be harder to face than tier 2 and 1... Backpack Bug I don't know what happened, but I was finally able to retrieve both of those backpacks I had lost previously. They spawned in at the onboarding facility and not under the ground like before. THANK YOU DEVS!!! I'd also like to note how appreciative I am that you don't lose backpack contents if you die before picking it up again! A lot of stress eased from that one. Halves Construction I love that we can construct half walls and stairs and whatnot, but I've noticed some issues with construction. First off, and I'm assuming the devs already have plans to fix this, we don't have half and quarter walls for weed stems. Some of my building looks a little wonky with grass planks to replace where weed stems should be. Additionally, I would love to see half and quarter versions of the railings and fences for both acorn and sprig construction. I love using them to line my top floors and staircases, but they don't work well if I use half stairs or any half or quarter flooring in my layout. I am going to officially resign this thread for a bit and start a new one for ideas I have for the game. Thanks for listening!

Thats a simplification of what impresses me But a lavish event like this at a 1000 year old castle does impress me Its not about Trump, its the effort and outcome of the banquet that I admire The decorum and dress code as well This is what was on the menu, interestingly the menu was in French Hampshire Watercress Panna Cotta with Parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad Organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes with a thyme and savoury infused jus Vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria plums And then expensive wine was served for those quests that drink Wiston Estate, Cuvée, 2016 Domaine Bonneau de Martray, Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2018 Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, 2000 Pol Roger, Extra Cuvée de Réserve, 1998

I've been enjoying a thriller series on Peac*ck called 'The Capture'. It's about London's use of CCTV along with the surreptitious employment of deep fake technology. Perhaps a view of what's to come?

For me, I think the lesson is that the First Amendment doesn't protect us from media conglomerates controlling the message. The irony is that Kimmel's show wasn't suspended for something he said about Kirk, but apparently about the killer being another gun nut like the Trumpies.

CBC is subjecting me to this moron too

I think the thing that strikes me the most about the beatiification of Kirk (apologies to @Malcador for stealing it, but it fits too well) is how little of it outside of the anti-reality bubble of fascists and adjacents (who think Kirk being a propagandist is based and good) actually features Kirk's own words. Kirk is probably one of the most recorded men in history but there many are columns from "respectable" liberals and centrists that somehow manage to not include a single word of his when eulogizing him. It's insane to me how suddenly we have to pretend a guy who had been showing us just who he is for a decade is someone completely different. Obviously I don't think he should have been killed (hello Kash). It's a decent explanation of how most reactionary media works, but the people who need it most extend the benefit of the doubt to people in the orbit Kirk was a part of out of ideological motivations rather than logical. The right generally and Trumpworld specifically have made particular podcasts their go-to media engagements. It'd be a surprise if he wasn't.

Zionist.

Tuesday I gave a whole lesson on the 1st amendment and free speech. I addressed the Charlie Kirk shooting, but my focus was mostly on the freedom of religion, speech, media, and protest that the 1st amendment covers. Now the FCC has pushed a network to remove Jimmy Kimmel from his late-night show. He wasn't removed because of costs or ratings, he was removed immediately after the FCC made threatening statements. I'm not sure how to proceed with my lesson. edit: Also what the hell is happening that the head of the FCC is going on podcasts? Like when did that become a thing?

So you're impressed by shiny things, too.

It's facebook, so bear with me, but I thought the video was interesting and some around here should probably watch it: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1127212979501787

Sounds like a great life, nice one GD I cant imagine not being connected to news but it clearly can be done and it sounds very healthy

What is your definition of fascism and can you give some examples of how the US is currently a fascist state? Or are you saying its becoming a fascist state but examples would still be interesting And do you think this is permanent if the US is a fascist state, so for example if the Dems win the next election will the US continue to be fascist? Or do you mean its only a fascist state if Trump is president? Sorry for the questions but I want to get clarity on what you believe

Dang USA sure is a fascist mess right now. Well, toodles.

For those that didnt watch it here is Trumps speech from the Windsor banquet last night, he was very cordial and complimentary around how he had been received Its only 6 minutes long and worth watching just to see how smart everyone is dressed and how lavish the banquet was. As I mentioned the British are the masters of pomp and pageantry

Update, it is my primary world that is glitched and won't allow me to run. In a 2nd world I started, the running glitch is fixed. I really hope that it isn't permanent as I've farmed and built souch in this world...

That's just going to be another step on the fascist ladder.

I remember reading somewhere years ago that the deflection breakpoints for a melee character were 134, 164, 184, and 204. Is this still true after Beasts of Winter came out (never killed the bosses back in the day)?

Since the release of the early access, I was able to sprint in any world for about a week. Once the first patch came in, my character would sprint for maybe 1 minute in the game before refusing to sprint again. Even with the recent update, I am still unable to sprint... I was excited for this game release but not being able to sprint is unbearable. I bought the founders edition and am beginning to regret putting money towards developers with deaf ears. Ive posted before over a month ago and no yield yet... I have tried everything from visiting other's worlds to reinstalling the game. Nothing has yielded a fix. Please don't make this a regrettable purchase.

Kirk's beatification in the US is hilarious. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-targets-antifa-movement-terrorist-organization-2025-09-18/ "It was not clear what legal weight Trump's proclamation carried. Antifa is a loosely organized ideological movement without a clear leadership structure or hierarchy, experts said." I guess they'll just grab any uppity liberal.

Huh, I read the remark and it doesn't seem to say anything about Charlie Kirk.

Zion is one of my favorites. Hiking the Narrows with my wife and kids was just magical. Glad to hear you are doing well.

I finally crossed Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World off my list. Pretty good read on critical thinking.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death Well that should make DJT immensely happy. While I've enjoyed Kimmel's work, he has spent the last nine or so years lambasting the Donald. It got a little tiresome. But I suppose this is cancel culture in reverse.
