  1. This just in... the President is retarded. You heard it here first! LOL Democrats bitched about Trump not working with and going against the other nations and here comes Biden doing the EXACT SAME THING... and in this case, risking 1000's of Americans lives not to mention those poor Afgans that thought it was a good thing to help the US. Republicans bitching about Democrats actions, Democrats, bitching about Republicans actions. When are they going to stop bitching and actually get to the job they have been given. I swear if someone put a mirror up in front of either side without their knowledge, they would still bitch about what the person in the mirror just did. I long for the time when I could listen to a intelligent statement from ANYONE in Government. I might not agree with them but I could at least appreciate they crafted a reasonable statement/argument. Now I just have the constant temptation to tell them to go put their noses in the corner in a time out until they learn how to behave. I shouldn't have to treat grown adults running the country as one would miss behaving kindergartners.
  2. I just got an new xbox X (the one with the optical drive and 1tb space) It is doing quite well on the games that i have tried, from new to old. It works better than Todd Howards, games.. that is for sure. Seriously. It isn't that bad. I was given a few months of the game pass and it has some pretty good list there to play. Now, I didn't pay anywhere near the price out of my pocket. I had gift cards and other htings that I used to get more than half of it paid for before I reached into my pocket. And other things I was able to line up to get much cheaper entry and continued use. I agree it is kind of expensive to buy compared to what it is giving but... not that far off. The hardware at least on this model is working well so far and is quite impressive considering the package, cost (total) and monthly expenses (if yo use the pass) Not for someone that is more of a PC gamer but OK for those games that are optimized for console. Some of the games I played prior with PC and optimized for console actually was a better experience on the console. go figure. I had an xbox account since xbox 360 was first released. I was able to access it and get all my stuff as if I didn't leave. Even after perhaps close to 10 years of not using that account. (Unlike other companies I have experienced prior) My greatest bitch is it only has 1 tb and you have to spend lots of $$$ to get another one. (haven't done that) which is above the expected cost of any 1tb SSD currently on the market. (in some cases 2x) The games are stuck at their inflated price for years beyond what competitors that use PC would experience. Perhaps, it is to further encourage people to keep on paying for the game pass? However, you do get a discount on the games like competitors if you have a pass and decide to buy the game. (Origin for example) the layout of the system is confusing.. however, full disclosure, I came from the old Xbox system (360 ) and likely that might play a part on my confusion. After a bit you start to learn your way around the system. The performance and responsiveness over the version I had prior is substantial . Can't complain there.
  3. The problem with the pricing has to do with supply and demand. Recent changes in the chip making it something the crypto miniers aren't interested in, has helped but there is still shortage in chip manufacture. This effects cars and pretty much anything that has a chip in it. Once this has been resolved and chips are abundant (and hopefully reasonably priced) then this should lower to MSRP levels with some sales here and there. Someone has mentioned they were releasing some info on thenew 4000 series cards and such as well. Due to be released soon (a year or so) So the hype machine is on full bore even though they don't have enough for the current supply to satisfy the need. lol Now are you going to get excellent pricing on these.. likely not, as they(graphics card producers) has seen how much someone is willing to pay for the cards so they want a piece of the pie and likely won't go much cheaper than they have to.
  4. I am watching (or will be watching) the Witcher: Nightmare of the wolf.. A prequal of the Witcher game. (not sure if it is the book also) It is animated. Heres to hoping that Netflx didn't fuck this one up as well
  5. There are some issues but I doubt this is one. The issue that might spell doom to most pc gamers besides the stupid game companies, is the power restrictions and environmental laws being put into effect in various parts of the world. the graphics card manufactures have done something to help keep the graphics cards more affordable and sellable for gamers. They have changed the chips to a low hash rate chip which sucks for those crypto miners. Since this has occured when I go to my local electronics store I can see some graphics cards there. At first it was only AMD sticking around for hours after they open and now there are N vidia gaming cards there for a considerable amount of time after they open. the pricing hasn't dropped but I suspect it will in time.
  6. with 10x the detail? Yep, I went there...
  7. There were mods that took assets from other game. One adult mod took the voices from Fallout 3 for a mod in Fallout NV. It was the same mod ported over (with a different location of course in Fallout NV map) He was forced to remove all those assets. They were essential to the feel of the mod. They were what made it popular for Fallout 3.. gutted. Loading up such a work is stupid and I agree with Kendo. Regardless of Nexus taking control over of the mod and allowing others to essentially do whatever the fuck they want to your mod (list currently but who knows what will occur in the future. If they have a mutual ownership, they in essence can authorize any assets you upload to be used for any other mods that is in need of those assets. At least as far as I can tell or think) Such works should be maintained separately in a dedicated space respectful of the mountains of work done to get it to completion. If they are going to upload to Nexus, then they might as well give it an free open source license for anyone to come along and modify and improve the mod as they see fit. At least then, Nexus wouldn't be the only beneficiary of the work
  8. Did you turn on the scripts and such so that mods can work. I forget how that is done but I had a problem with mods not working previously due to that fact. Just chiming in until one of the experts can..
  9. They wouldn't have to deal with this if they weren't such a hard liner on the "we own your mods" policy. I love what some have started to do.. keep their old mods there but post the new updates elsewhere. he mods list down loader thing won't work well that way and have missing features. that or they will have to go and actually edit and update and steal the codes and such to update the mods they are including as I have heard they made changes to make them compatible. Good way to end up on a law suit.
  10. Thanks for the introduction. ...
  11. https://www.msnbc.com/hallie-jackson/watch/missouri-governor-pardons-couple-who-waved-guns-at-protesters-117894213982 The reported stated... "peaceful protesters"... She should be ashamed of herself. Don't take my word for it... The BBC another reporting organization covers all aspects of the news related to this, including the fact that these "peaceful protesters" destroyed a fence at at least a minimum, was trespassing on private property. (though not their property) as the BBC article made sure was included. Also, for weeks news outlets were showing all the burning an looting MLB was doing across the country. It would be perfectly reasonable to be afraid that could and likely would happen to you. So, the news reporters don't have an agenda? Yea right... I can't trust a fucking thing that comes out of any US based major news agency and haven't been able to trust them for several years. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53891184 Now they want to impeach the Governor for pardoning them. But they plead guilty... So fucking what. They were being used as a scape goat and was going to get the book thrown at them of course him being a Lawyer knew it was going to get a whole lot worse if they didn't plead guilty. It is actually the same process police do to minorities or others that they don't like... pile on the shit then offer them a lifeline if they agree .. Proper representation, Only want the guilty.. yea right... .Pull my other leg. There are good, hell great people in the policing and DA... however, not enough in my opinion. In all honesty, even a honest law abiding person should be terrified if they are pulled in for questioning. One of the best videos on this subject I have ever watched. I remember this time, the "peaceful protesters" were burning police cars, tearing down statues and damaging private property in multiple states. A friend of the family stayed with my mother (armed of course) in case they decided to move down her street and try to destroy or steal from her. Never happened, but it was a genuine fear. The issue that they did was point the guns at the people. Anyone with any experience with guns and respect for them knows better than to point at someone unless you are actually going to fire. The photos clearly show that that wasn't the case, (with the lax handling of the gun especially by the woman) . I remember this time quite well... the family friend wouldn't have pointed the gun at the crowd. He would have waited until the first mother fucker decided to throw a molotov cocktail and shot him dead. IMO, should they get off scott free? No, community service etc perhaps due to the fact they were pointing at people. No evidence was available to show the need to escalate the encounter. If I am familiar with Mo laws. they had a right to protect their property with lethal force like that. this is the reason I believe the Governor pardoned them. full disclosure, I have family in MO but I don't live there. Also my mother doesn't live there either.
  12. https://www.amazon.com/Privilege-Everything-Symbolizing-Happiness-Anniversary/dp/B093BS4ZNR White Privilege Card... actually exist. It is in the news elsewhere as well https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/-white-privilege-card-found-in-raid-of-men-charged-with-plot-to-bomb-democrats-116920389908
  13. Ah that is the rub... it is .50 cents but that is per use. These are one time use mask. The $$$$ spent during the main covid period ... well I am sure those companies that makes those supplies made a mint to put it mildly. It was good to spend the money to get the vaccine, many did get it. Many are still going but not at the numbers as previously counted. However, my issue is the 10's of millions of dollars being spent for the vaccine when the evidence is being shown even with all their hyype about the Delta virus being worse etc... there are less and less people getting it and more and more is just being wasted. Like tones of $$$ just expiring and being wasted. (not completely going through an entire bottle due to not having enough people to vaccinate and wasting it. is another form of waste, which to those that work at a hospital know this is normal and expected. I am talking about the cases and such that never even get opened.
  14. What a fucking moron, (guy on the left. ) Yes, you have to be vaccinated for those items ... the difference if the dumb ass would just check is the Covid Vacine is for Emergency Use.. not FDA approved. I don't believe any has been approved in any country, but definitely not in the USA. He might has well been arguing that cats are actually dogs. I have been vaccinated. I had a good discussion with my doctor and for me, the benefits outweighed the potential drawbacks. I made my selection of vaccine based on the info on the science behind it. It was a very well informed decision. I also know people who don't have the co-morbility factors and are very healthy and not expected to be high at risk if they contract the virus. They are making the educated choice to wait until it is FDA approved. Which should be sometime within a year from some of my sources. FDA is moving as fast as they can but they have to look over all the documentation, test and other factors before they can approve it. Much easier than the Emergency Use which basically means, it is expected to be more beneficial than HARMFUL to the vast majority that may require it's use. I believe now that it is readily available and everybody has had an opportunity to take it. If someone wishes not to take it... then that is their choice. If they catch it and fall seriously ill due to it... then that is also their choice. Stop trying to protect people and inject your personal beliefs. Those that have taken it.. (like me) are also just as responsible for their choice if some side effect is found out later. I have read some of the new documentation coming out and the possibility that people will have to go back to wearing mask even if vaccinated to "protect" others that aren't. WTF, seriously? This isn't communist China or Russia.. Once people has had the info, given an ample opportunity to get the vaccine if they so choose to do... that is the end of it. Full disclosure.. I wore a mask early on well before it was required. I got some weird looks but FUCK YOU, was my attitude. I have some health issues that could have been serious if I caught it before vaccination. I wore it well after I was vaccinated because I got it earlier than many others I know and they didn't have the opportunity to get it at that time. To me this was a fair and responsible act on my part. Even though evidence shown that it wasn't likely that a fully vaccinated person would spread it (as oppose to what they now are trying to say about the Delta) It was early on and nobody truly had the info. IT hasn't been enough time to get the info to prove one way or another conclusively. However, I will be dammed if they start to tell me to wear it now (for current as of today Covid status etc) even if it is heavy where I live. IMO they shoot themselves in the feet every time they speak .. Early on, no you don't need a mask.. (so that they wouldn't run out for the hospitals etc.. .didn't give a fuck about the community. Didn't want a run on the surgical mask) This is just one example of them jumping back and forth on their decisions without any real "Science" behind their decisions. It appears as if they are trying to commit some sort of agenda... separate from the science. Then there is the "Scare Tactics" they employ with numbers that are later proven to be bloated. How do they expect us to follow their advice? Heed their warnings? When they spout bullshit?
  15. the new Master's of the Universe... Holly shit.. or... actually Holly pile of shit. Not to get into spoilers for those that might like such a show. this show was suppose to be in the spirit of the past cartoons. yea, fuck that. When did people get killed in the old show? Not only one but many of them. the only redeeming factor of the show is Skeltor and his voice acting from Mark Hammel. He does excellent jobs in my opinion. Followed by Evil Lins voice acting but thatis about all that was redeemable.
  16. I need that ass.
  17. The Hunt https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8244784/ Not the best movie but they were one of the first that I have seen that are making a mockery of SJW
  18. You guess? The graphics and the motion capture was quite good. the visuals were on par IMO with new AAA games. The unique approach which is intended to show mental illness has been praised (by those that experience them) Pretty nice game. To be clear however, it started to wear on my. It was more and more repetitive. Not to distract from the game. Unlike the Bugthesda games where they just run out of ideas and put in bullshit (not to mention not be able to release a stable game) This was intentional from what I read. It was dedicated to mental issues and some of the frustrations and exhaustion one would experience. So I won't take points off from the game for something that was thoughtful and unique.
  19. Keep in mind if I recall those 5 post needed to be deleted due to the content (not being able to be on the site) Not because ... well we decided to because we wanted to Those that were banned were banned because they were intentional disrupting the entire site not because they had alternate views etc. (the "D" word)
  20. What .. where.. I have used profanity recently ... wonder if they said something to me.. (haven't seen anything)
  21. Cry me a river also, quick... anyone that wants a premium account! August 3rd ends lifetime! (I wonder if they raised the price over previous cost ...hum) Ah the perpetual subscription model that has become oh so much loved by the tech industry.
  22. I have regularly seen and heard from some associates that deal in electronic sales (computer parts etc) and repair where people come in and spend up to 2700 dollars just for a graphics card. We all know of the lines and fight it takes to get any modern 3000 nVidia card. How they are being re-sold for several times their suggested price. I believe people have no problem getting money for these things. Yes, there will be some that will have to struggle (like me) to get an upgrade but most seem to have little effort. As for needing to use Windows 11 I don't see a reason. their installer should be just fine using the same coding as windows 10 hell even perhaps in some cases Windows 7 This just means that they won't SUPPORT the game on that OS. It will be some time before windows 10 is fully depreciated. the Direct X version might be offered in the new game but I have seen that they often package the lower /previous windows version of Direct x for the users of the game. It is rare to get a game that will only work for x OS and Y direct x version. This of course is due to the fact that the companies want the widest opportunity for sales. Keep in mind there will be a few years before people convert over to 11 even if Windows tries to shove it down our throats like they did for windows 10 previously. I didn't convert over untiil about half way through Windows 10 life. then only because Discord and other program issues using Windows 7 was experienced.
  23. Amen my Sista, Amen and god bless.
  24. Saw your post there... they are quite active now... And to boot it wasn't you starting tossing feces, it was someone else.
