The American empire is failing on all fronts. Sad.

I once modded Skyrim to make hunger, thirst, sleep, wounds, infections, and weather as realistic as possible. Then, from nothing, set out to go dungeon diving. My guy had heard there were untold riches, and being dirt poor, it was going to be his ticket out of squalor. The amount of preperation that was needed took days. I had to build a small camp outside the entrance, catch kill and prepare foods that wouldn’t spoil. Make water skins to store enough water. I may be down there for weeks! Finally ready to go in, I have no idea what to expect, only rumors. It’s very dark (mod), but I made torches. Surprise Frost Troll. Dead. Bethesda update corrupted my modded save, but that’s ok, just another death of no one special in the frozen lands.

Thanks, I had hope for a few seconds.

Dang, I didn’t see that.

They were based off of William Shatner’s TekWar series of books. My uncle gave me a few and I tried reading them. Just imagine Tek Jannsen, but without any of the humor.

It’s not about being right, it’s about winning power.

Thank you for being on the front lines of the click bait war.

The idiots are taking over 🎶

I hate that I got that reference so easily

Goodbye internet

When I was 12, I thought I had broken the family computer trying to get Ultima III to run. I read every MS-DOS manual I could find trying to fix it before someone found me out. It was the frikin CMOS battery. I learned a lot of DOS that summer.

Why is healthcare a stock!?

They were competing with people who didn’t want to strap a screen to their face.

Now it looks like they’re competing for world domination

Enshrpuded is a great suggestion. You can ignore quests unless you want to expand your plot. Just pick a plot of land and start farming. Go out into the wild to find new stuff to plant. Unfortunately there’s not much to do with your harvest except to make provisions to go play the rest of the game, but that’s how you find more things to plant. I had a great time designing the layout of my crops.

Had a butter bar bring a few uxo he found, just had them rolling around in the back of hummer, called everyone around to come see what he found. Didn’t see much more of him after that

A smart man always knows what to say, a wise man knows when not to say it.

It’s the life equivalent of typing out a comment only to then delete it and move on.

Just because you know something, or know a better way, doesn’t mean you have to tell everyone. That mental exercise plays into my other tool: Let them.

Let them be wrong, let them fill the silence they created, let them get bent out of shape, and let them try to figure it out. Sometimes, they’ll get to where you already are; other times, they’ll figure out an approach you didn’t even consider, or you’ll realize that you were the one who was wrong the whole time. Let people be people. Listen, look, learn, and then, when you’re ready, when it’s needed, lead.

Oh, and don’t give people answers to questions they didn’t ask. They’re less likely to listen to you. When they’re ready for the answer, they’ll ask.

It was tough not to delete this comment, but I’ll let the paradox stand as is.

I’ve only tried one, blind, it was worms. Never again. That was over twenty years ago and I still gag just thinking about it.

In America, perjury is inversely proportional to your financial value.

Oh, well that answered that question. Get your shit together tech bros
