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.

Hey everyone. Hope you guys are all doing well in this crazy f---d up world we find ourselves in. I was unaware of Charlie Kirk until this morning. Gwen and I have been exploring Zion National Park since August. We've been staying at Watchman Campground mostly but we did backpack out to Lava Point and primitive camped for a few nights. This is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Hanging out in Salt Lake City now. Then taking a trip down I-40 to Tennessee. I have some business to wrap up there bore heading back to Wisconsin. Life has been pretty good. We had almost no cell coverage in the park and almost never turned the radio on. The world is a wonderful place if you can just divorce yourself from all the negativity. Hope you guys are all ok. It's been a while.

I followed a strategy guide on how to receive the Jal Shey Mentor armor from Fassa on Nar Shadda. Your character is supposed to be at level 40 or better. After leveling up to 40 and finishing the tasks Fassa wants you to finish you're supposed to receive the armor. When I try it Fassa doesn't give me anything. What am I doing wrong?

Lonna Vash is her name actually. Not Wash. From what I understand she has to die either on Korriban or the droid planet. The machine intelligence overseer kills her. Sad.

First of all, as a fan, I love Grounded and what y'all do. With weather, instead of a rainy day or snow etc. Why not after sleeping in game, show what a day would look like after the rain. There could be a chance of rain, then show a rain animation when sleeping, and the next day would be a what it would look like after it had rain. And the idea grows from there with seasons, resources, bugs, ect.

The one thing I enjoy about the US's descent into fascism is how quickly the constitution went from holy, sacred immutable document that must be followed how the founding fathers intended, to a piece of paper written specifically to be ignored.

Inventory Menu: The new grid-style menu feels slower and less intuitive than the radial menu, especially during combat. I suggest allowing players to choose between the radial menu and the grid menu, so everyone can use the system they prefer. Clay Oven: Adding the clay oven would be a great quality-of-life improvement and expand crafting options, giving players more flexibility with cooking and survival strategies. Both changes would make the game feel more flexible and enjoyable without compromising the new systems.

thousand guess uk really is dead nation twitching

I think whatever it is its a small price compared to the trade and economic benefits. You know how it goes, every world leader rolls out the red carpet for Trump when he visits because of his hubris Today is the fun and tomorrow they talk trade and politics Microsoft and other IT companies will be investing $40 billion in AI in the UK and this type of theater just helps ensure the WH under Trump is onboard https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/16/tech-giants-to-pour-billions-into-uk-ai-heres-what-we-know-so-far.html

A little bit of shameless promotion, but I really loved this game, when I have played it some time ago. It is pretty good dungeon crawler, and made in Slovakia. Sooo if you are into this kind of games, it is now sold for 90% on GOG. https://www.gog.com/en/game/vaporum

How much money is the UK wasting on this.

Here are some highlights, watch from minute 5 to see the air display from the Red Arrows the official aerobatic team of the Royal Air Force

Obsidian did romance in a game I think once ever, all the way back when they worked on Neverwinter Nights 2. I can't remember any other game where they added romance. I guess they did a little in KOTOR2. Some people cite Fallout New Vegas, but while you can flirt a little there are no full blown romances for the player character without mods. Anyway, I get the impression that they hated working on romance with Never Winter Nights 2 and have decided never to add it to a game they do ever again, which is a shame. I also suspect that they're afraid of offending people. If they don't add LGBT options or if they DO add them, someone is gonna gripe and I suspect this is their way to avoid that. I could be wrong though. All I know is that with every game, there is always some article about some reason that "lead to the decision to exclude romances" as if every game they develop they at one point seriously considered adding romance. No they didn't. lol Its also been said that they don't think they can deliver the kind of romance that players would expect. In my world, that's where you hire talented people that can. At any rate, I do prefer games that have it so if I ever play this game, it will be when I am super super bored. And I certainly won't be paying 70 or 80 bucks for it. I will NEVER pay that much for any video game ever. Dear Lord.

Thousands protest against Trump's second UK state visit

Looks like that has finally started getting net positive reviews on Steam. I haven't played it, but supposedly it's the same as the developer's other games, which would mean that production is the best resource so take any early boosts to that ASAP.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cx2q200d2vnt Trumps on an unprecedented second visit to the UK and its going really well The British are the undisputed masters of pomp and pageantry and as usual they have delivered There have been musical bands and military processions and Trump was shown the Royal Collection of art at Windsor Castle which he appreciated He also laid a wreath at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II at St Georges Cathedral

After the BOSS goes underground, it may take a long time before it emerges, and the BOSS comes out by flashing its light. Sometimes it doesn't even come out at all.

The Grounded 2 experience has been a great ride so far. The updates the developers have added give us more Grounded like we've all wanted. I think what's missing is the overlap of the lore and the gameplay in more meaningful ways. I know that there are a lot more inventions that are available from different armors, weapons, and building options. What I don't see is how the kids, who've been working with Dr.Tully, are leveraging their new knowledge in more impactful and creative ways. For example, I would expect to see more building options that showcase what they've learned, from pulley systems, boats, automated machinery (i.e. turrets), and power grids (via solar energy or some other form of power collection). Parts for these items can be harvested from resources that already exist (like spider silk, bark, etc), the labs, broken toys, or the mind controlling apparatuses that are on some of the bugs. The kids are all smarter and have survived this type of landscape before. I just think we should show how much they grown, it's heavily being done with combat but it should also be seen in their creativity and knowledge around new inventions. Being mentored by Dr.Tully should count for something.

I have a situation where after installing the Public Beta all of my game saves are now on playable I even backed up a copy just in case and all the saves are unplayable. Need some assistance on how to go about a fix. I will provide screenshots.

Sadly, this is still a significant issue. Though, I have no fps issues like this in original Grounded, even while hosting two other players in Louisiana and the UK from my location by Chicago, IL.

This is still an issue. The patch notes for 0.1.3 says it's fixed but that's not true.

MENU UI; INVENTORY UI

The last episode of Alien Earth is going to be a banger. I am very interested to see how they will leave it.

Dear Obsidian, please make the A.X.L boss harder and make the fight spectacular with epic attacks. I very love grounded 2, and I consider it the best game of the year. Thanks!!!!!
