  • Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.

    Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.

  • It is. Yikes.

    Sadly, people think like this, I've known more than a few in Texas - having spent my whole life in this shit hole.

    This is just a symptom of a larger problem in some communities; and it won't be the ones most expect - locally speaking.

    I'm sure anyone who lives outside a Christofascist state would be right on the money with their guess though.

  • Step one: Buy a few firearms, for different scenarios (which should be easier under Trump sigh)

    Step two: Go to work, home, and limit unnecessary errands, order for delivery more.

    Step three: Practice marksmanship with various firearms. I have a country, but sane, friend of the family with a shooting range on her land.

    Step four: Hunker down in my deep red state, because I hold non-christian belief's and I won't recant them on pain of death. Not because my beliefs "protect" me, but because as an American, I believe in freedom of religion and I'll die a proud American before I die as a Christian, my belief's don't matter compared to that. The protection of those belief's does.

  • Honestly, I pay for top of line parts. I realize I'm limitiing myself on good games, but...

    I paid for this shit, I try to keep top of the line because it is still my hobby (though, my time doesn't allow anymore) and I want to push my hardware.

    Low bit games, however good, don't get a chance because... god damn, I expect better. I'm a 80s baby, and 90s kid. Nickelodeon early nick toons are my jam.

    I paid for it, let me experience it.

    I want to PUSH my hardware, and fine tune for play-ability, as expenses allow.

    That being said, I love MMOs and realize how hard they can be to "upgrade" for all users... but damn, I don't have the time or energy anymore. I wish I could raid EQ bosses like I was 13 on summer break, but I fucking can't.

    At the end of the day, I hope creative minds create new paradigms in gaming with limited resources. At this point, it is the only way we will grow. AAA studios make rehashes of former successes, which fail, and no one wants them. Gameplay has died, its been several years, and as an "old-head" (Quest for Glory 1 was my first PC game, with parser prompts) and I miss games. Even those are simple by today's standard - but they still stand up in a shorter format.

  • Now I'm thinking of some wide spread agent like pollen being laced with naturally occurring psychedelics.

    I mean, pollen, as an allergen is often taken in through the nose, which is a great route of administration to affect the brain quickly.

    Oh the rag weed count is high? Get ready to trip balls people, lol.

  • Obama wore a suit, and he got shit because they didn't like the color.

    Trump on the other hand, wears diapers and has inspired his moronic base to wear them publicly as well. Not just, under their clothing like a normal person, they think its better than pants.

  • For a real medical answer, I was, at one point, put on GHB and a Stimulant under the theory that an issue that took 9 years to diagnose (epilepsy, did not present typically). Since I had issues with cataplexy, which is only rarely seen with other issues, this made sense. Turns out it can be a side effect of some psych meds, as I'm also bipolar.

    GHB knocks you out in moments, and you'll wake up 4 hours later. Time for the second dose. 4 more hours. Like fucking clockwork. It was the only time in my life I was consistently on time anywhere I've ever worked. Wasted in a Walmart auto shop.

    Then stimulants (amphetamine analogue) were supposed to keep a narcoleptic awake during the day.

  • Cut myself with a microscope slide. Didn't realize the lens would drop far enough to break it. Whoops. Ended up nicking my finger getting the slide off.

    My proudest science lab injury though, was with a plastic butter knife. Don't ask me how I managed, but I did. It was an ugly cut too.

  • I hear things. I'm bipolar though.

    I often have to check in with a person close to me to see if they heard what I heard, or if its my "imagination."

    For those worried, I'm under the care of a psychiatrist, and mostly this isn't an issue anymore.

  • I will cheat in single player games. I give it a solid "first time" unmodded play through. If it's good, I'll do other "paths" or "builds" depending on the game.

    Then make it a little more... interesting, or different even.

    Then you work up to Total Conversions, and thats fucking great for longevity.

    Then at a certain point, its quality of life. I don't want to spend 20 hours getting to the "interesting" part of the game. I can no longer get even just an hour to dive into a game uninterrupted. I love immersion; in the past it was an unhealthy escape mechanism, now when I get it, its a breath of not dealing with my day to day shit for just a little bit. Life always gets in the way of living, at least the way we want or need to in the moment. But I digress...

    But cheating in a multiplayer game really defeats the purpose of multiplayer. An unbalanced play field isn't fun for anyone.

    I'd like to see more games embrace a modding community. If you and a few friends want to play with mods A, B, D, and F, more power to you guys. Keep enjoying that game.

    Just don't force an imbalance on other people.

  • 10 was bad. 11 is... awful.

    I'm running it on my daily driver / gaming rig to learn its flaws and how to work around them, because work may be moving that direction. My hardware, my license, not like they can stop me.

    I've never had more problems with any OS than 11 on day to day stability issues. Vista? At least it had direct X 10. 8? Yeah, a total design fuck up, but even supporting it professionally I never had this many problems.

  • I was the SME over POS terminals in a past job.

    Owners are often the biggest morons at the location.

    Before that, I used the same basic software package at Subway because the owner couldn't be bothered, and the manager, great lady, was not technically apt.

  • I need a slightly less secure walkthrough to allow, essentially, android auto and google maps to operate.

    I did without for a while, and it wasn't pretty.

    Lets just say I went from a sketchy hospital district to a very sketchy dead end in a neighborhood that had lookouts. Working nights, this was not a great time to drop in unannounced.

  • I was in grade school. Doing an experiment where we sliced off a section of fruit to put under a microscope.

    My dumb ass, with a plastic butter knife, managed to get the worst cut my thumb has ever seen.

    That thing was rough and ragged, and got infected and was a bitch to heal.

    Just saying, with enough stupidity, you can really harm yourself with harmless objects, lol.

  • Pretty sure checking a post on their site, say for a BG3 build idea, doesn't constitute abuse.

    The powers that be sacrificed their only value, their user base, to make money quick. We'll see how it plays out long term, but I've moved away from social media. My lemmy use is only on my desktop at this point, and I get precious little time at it, so most of it isn't spent on lemmy.
