    We keep the front mowed for the HOA.

    The backyard can grow until we worry about snakes affecting our pups.

    We have a front garden that gets no care outside HOA recommendations. It came with the house.

    Can’t wait until I can OWN a house, but the market (with all the influences upon it) isn’t there.

    I’m saving, and considering moving to another state, if that helps all the pedantic monsters our there.

    That and I doubt he wants to be shooting ready in an antman costume to walk around the neighborhood with his daughter.

    His costume, other than the wig, is comfy as fuck. He can transition into whatever the night reasonably holds without have to have costumers remove the stuff and strip him of makeup, etc.

    Besides, its probably in his contract to NOT portray his marvel character OUTSIDE of the movies, simply to retain proper branding. If he tried to put on his own antman getup, it would pale in comparison to a pound of makeup backed up by CGI artists.

    I having a gaming laptop. 13 inch Razer blase stealth.

    I bought it for the GPU and its compact size.

    Let’s me do some hash cracking while at work, though if its some serious work I’ll boot into Linux on my gaming rig and do it there, but I don’t like to tie it down when I could be playing games.

    As I get older and older I have less and leas free time.


  • Unless things change drastically for their RPG division, I’ll repeat what I’ve said since oblivion. Bethesda makes great modding platforms, the content within the game is a loose theme that modders can play with.

    Yes the new Fallouts are just TES in the Apocalypse.

    Yes starfield is little more than TES in space.

    I buy Bethesda games for mod potential.

    If they said no mods to all future games I wouldn’t buy another one. I don’t play ESO and I have never touched fallout 76 for this reason.

    Was that based on a more adult (but still young) reading level? The name sounds familiar and I grew up on RL Stine until I found the deluge of books set in the forgotten realms (Dungeons and Dragons setting, for clarity, not written by Stine)



  • I bought after it released.

    So far I’ve seen a lot of Bethesda typical bugs, but nothing game breaking yet.

    Yes the first few hours of a play through are a slog, after it opens up more it becomes much more enjoyable. A live another life type mod would make me immensely happy.

    That being said, Bethesda does a good job of making a platform for modding, and thats the KEY thing that keeps me buying, and playing again and again, Bethesda games.

    For that reason ESO just never had the magic to me, I understand a lot of mods found for single player games would be highly unbalanced and its not an option for an MMO. That said, without mods Bethesda games are lackluster and I quickly lost interest despite trying to enjoy it a few times. I like MMOs too, don’t get me wrong, I’m not someone who only plays shooters being introduced to an MMO.

    I’m excited to see what the modding community can do once the tools are released in 2024.

    They probably recognized enough to tell it was a Germanic language, but knows no German.

    That would be a very common response in my area, but it was settled prominently by German immigrants.

    There’s a subtle awareness you get growing up around people who are very proud of their Germanic heritage, but not in a racist way like some would assume from the south.


  • Proprietary formats are certainly an issue outside of Canada.

    Most of the reason corporations/governments stick with popular proprietary formats is actually money.

    Developing/investigating an open format is expensive. and then there is the problem of people who have only lived in a digital walled garden.

    If you have to train all of your new employees on how to use it the cost rises exponentially.

    Then you have your IT support folks who probably just got it dumped in their lap at the last second, and have no knowledge of it themselves, because training wasn’t an option due to time or money.

    As a person who handled (solo help desk for that shift) the change over of a health networks electronic medical records systems, I receive no training and was told that they had consultants on hand to transfer them to - yeah well in 4 hours over 2000 calls came in. And of course I got yelled at by a dick hole boss (if your adult children won’t speak to you, and you’ve never met your grandchildren, you are the problem) about people who didn’t want to wait in line for one person to answer the phone and dropped the call.

    That boss was ultimately the reason I left that company in favor of a previous employer who offered a lot less problems. Stayed there until the pandemic (hospitality IT) and its been a shit show ever since.





  • They can do it in their free time, and even barter trade. But from sunup to sundown (or whatever labor scale they use to measure shifts) they are doing something materially useful. No contribution, no food that day. Should only take about 3 weeks to get rid of all the slackers (and I say that as a slacker myself) either they’ve gone back home, or they’ve starved to death.
