    Regarding the GPUs, they're not THAT bad here! 15,000!? They're just elevated here. Something that should be around 700ish is now from 1500 to 3000 if you go private. (Crazy Euros of course.) Definitely spells some bad things for PC gaming if they don't get things under control. That said, I think hell will freeze over before I buy a console. I pretty much mod any game I play for any length of time. And I know I'm probably a minority but consoles ... why? You pay an inflated price for hardware that is obsolete by the time they release it. (Same argument could be made for GPUs too!) Then you have to deal with games that don't run well because they're pushing the garbage hardware beyond its limit OR they just can't code. (OK, same argument applies for PC too!) BUT.... at least with a PC you can deal with the bad engineering by getting overpowered hardware. No way to deal with garbage writing though. If only there was hardware for that! It occurs to me if China does invade Taiwan then it's really going to get messy. For graphics cards. To say nothing of other concerns.

    The best cringe ever? Skyrim is getting a new Super Duper Anniversary of the Anniversary Special Spectacular Edition!

    So... was setting up Stellaris for a new game and I noticed the devs had United Nations of Earth! Only they sure screwed up on setting it up. Originally they set it up as fanatic egalitarian and a "beacon" of liberty!? Well that's a bunch of bull that needed fixing: Then I was looking at human species traits. Adaptive, Nomadic, and Wasteful? That doesn't sound like the humans I hear about today. Fixed that too:

    So, they make it California but can't ship it to California. Building your own is the way to go anyway. Also I'm curious about servers. Those things have to remain always on by design. Are they banning THAT too?

    I think I needed a theme song today! Regarding the incoming demonization of all who don't have the "vaccine", they're instating the vaccine passports here around August ... something or other. Basically restricts people from doing anything annoying like concerts or visiting museums. (Another reason not to visit any, thanks Authoritarians!) The one curious bit is you can't eat indoors without carrying another piece of idiotic identification. I'm told Moscow tried this recently and had to stop because all the restaurants were going out of business. (Haven't checked if that's true. Could be false.) We'll see how it goes here. Demonstrations all over the place. There have been large protests in both the cities closest to us. It's going to be a very interesting year. So far, don't really give a damn. I hate crowds and if I can't eat out.... well.. more money saved! (Actually what's happening is suddenly NO restaurants in our area have indoor seating. The morons here expected the restaurant staff to do the policing! What is their next Galaxy Brained idea? ) They're not restricting markets or anything. Though I figure if they're allowed to continue that will be next. Hello food delivery. Stupid thing is, I'd have been open to taking the damn thing if somebody could show me what the benefit was for me personally. They sealed their fate when they started using coercion. I just don't react well to that. And since I'm already rural and don't like crowds... the hell with them.

    Haven't logged in myself for a long time. Though I'd demand the "pronoun": Empress of Earth.

    Good info! It's always interesting what can cause issues in Skyrim!! (I think maybe more interesting than the game itself! )

    Oh right, that's the one where a small team set out to try and make a AAA-esque title! Seems they succeeded. Not really my sort of game buuut the background on how they made it was certainly interesting. A good example of what a small team can accomplish with a fraction of a budget of the big guys who can't manage to get anything released but crap.

    If you look in the DD zip file, there's a mod_data folder. Drop that in your mods folder.

    What the.... !? I learned most of the cuss words I know on LL!

    Nivenor: "I'm getting bored. Are you ready YET!?"
    Nivenor in my setup. The Bosmer woman that married that idiot Nord guy Bolli for his money. He got dead when half the town turned on my character. Turns out she's rather chatty about life after him and it's all positive. Sending her to my Ayleid Palace where I'm sure she'll find the surroundings superior to Riften. I have several mods that allow for various relationships of a sort with pretty much any non-temporary NPC. Same races are easier to befriend so in this play through my Bosmer is making lots of Bosmer friends. It's really a shame they were so lazy with dialog in general. They have the foundations there but just didn't go the extra bit. But that's how it is... It's always illuminating to play another game after a Skyrim run. Dialog and NPC interaction is sooo much better in just about anything else.

    https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-man/ If that's not cringe, I don't know what is. There's an Italian saying used when you get to the point where it's so bad nothing can be done. "We are at the fruit" is what it literally translates into. Fruit is generally the last thing you eat at lunch in Italy. Well...... Siamo alla frutta!!

    OK, now what do you REALLY think? (And hey, not banned as of writing this! Yay? ) DorkOne. I like that. I've taken to calling that other jerk Limp Biscuit. I remember that "I got banned" thread! I posted a couple times in it myself I think. There were some hilarious posts in there! Downright criminal if they deleted it. Bad form. I saw a little of the Nexus backlash on Discord. A modder made a new server over it and it was one big cluster *&#$ of complaining. Very amusing at first but got old after a week of complaints with no doing. I mean, I get it for the first few days. The Nexus staff are absolutely awful and idiotic. But maybe after a few days take some action and tell the Nexus to #*(&$# it on your way out. Drawing it out when the Nexus staff act like petulant teen dictators is just stupid. I do get a real kick reading the Nexus corporate-speak BS announcements. Their problem is they don't.... proactively self actualize synergistically with the community in positive needs based ways. Also it shouldn't be a news flash to these people that the Nexus is run by slimy creeps. This is just the latest in a long line of slime that began all the way back with the queen of slime. (Well, he identifies as a queen anyway. )

    Good question! I have like 40 browsers now. Probably not the best but here's my layout. For Fatfox: Noscript uBlock (ad blocker) Cookie AutoDelete Anti-Adblock Blocker I Don't Care About Cookies (Ironic considering I have the cookie auto-delete thing. I think this is only for us EU suckers. Almost every damn website has an annoying popup reminding us about cookies. And of course they make it as hard as possible to "reject all". So I accept all automatically and then automatically delete them. ) Used to use Ghostery as well but I heard some negative rumblings about it. Just haven't installed it for now. (I haven't checked about it myself however so those rumors could be totally bogus!) Safari: Adblock Ghostery Javascript Blacklist Brave: Nothing here yet. The base adblocker seems to work very well so I haven't had a need to tweak it yet. I think Brave is based on Chromium so Chrome add-ons should work I think. Of course, VPN always on. And when I'm really wanting to be silent: TOR Browser + onion over VPN. I have a heard a lot lately about browser isolation. Where you have a profile setup (with it's own separate set of settings and such) just for certain tasks so it's even harder to track you. Even with a VPN they can identify the browser to some extent. I'm all for making it as hard as possible for the spying twerps to do their job. What does everyone else use? Any pros or cons anybody has heard of stuff in my list?

    Who said I paid them? Got LTSB from the job. (I guess it's hard to get a hold of otherwise? Or I suppose there is the method.) About Defender, yes that is still an issue even on LTSB. No matter what I've done, from registry to security settings it will always turn itself back on at startup. The current workaround I'm using now is a thing that disables it on login. The issue about Defender is it labels things that are perfectly safe and needed as "dangerous". It does this for a couple small utilities for Skyrim even! To say nothing of all the small utilities I've used for eons all the way back to XP. As far as use is concerned, I've had no compatibility problems yet. (Which means I'll have a huge one now that I mentioned it! ) The only thing I really do with Windows is games and modding though. And even modding is somewhat limited. Modelling and texture work are all done on my work machine which is a Mac. About the only thing I do with Maya now on Windows is import the finished model and set it up for export. (The current exporter I use is only for Maya 2016. Work machine is 2020. And -of course- you can't just save to an older version. Oh no, that's not how Autodesk works. ) Though if we're talking what Windows version is best? I was happiest (or rather as "happy" as one can ever be with Windows) back on Win 2000. Come to think of it, I was only on Win7 for the last 4ish years. Was XP before that and only switched due to getting a bunch of new SSDs. My only exposure to Win8 was a work laptop and that was short since we switched it to Linux. Reading about full Win 10 though? Yeah I can definitely understand never upgrading to that kind of mess. And the spyware crap! What. The. Hell!? Even Macs are getting annoying too with the iCloud nonsense. (Can barely turn a new one on without it whining about "What's your account so we can spy???") It's definitely looking like the real future of decent computing will be flavors of Linux.

    My gaming machine recently went kaput (translated: I wanted a new one) and I was faced with the Windows debacle as well. Win 10 is a piece of literal garbage with so much crap that just wasn't going to happen. Soooo.... I went with Win 10 LTSB. ... After a good 4 months of it, I of course can't say I like it (nobody with a brain likes Windows period) but it's "not too bad". It will do until I finally get totally divorced from Windows and switch to Linux full time.

    Well.... there is another way. I've heard.

    Just what the world needs. ANOTHER stupid launcher.

    What a terrible trailer! And no modding!? Yeah, not even wasting my time.

    Was in another film noir mood and ran into this little gem. Robert Mitchum (no complaints from me ) and another example of a young Vincent Price this time playing comic relief. To top it off Perry Mason as a bad guy! (Yes, I know Perry Mason. My grandmother used to watch endless reruns. ) Full movie here (for Europe sorts at least).

    This is appropriate for planet Earth today..... (Of course I don't really listen to anything but baroque so this may be the worst version! Listeners beware!)

    "13 seconds into this video and my eyes already need a tetanus shot..." Although, Venice Beach was a dump BEFORE. Now it's just MORE of a dump!

    Yeah if you don't bow to cancel culture immediately you're de facto "racist" now. As if that term has any meaning anymore. Apparently the galaxy is racist now too. I think we should just cut the crap and declare reality: EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING is now racist.
