What causes this

Everyone's minds are going straight to porn, but I have an explanation for this:

There is a lot of lore in OW; Blizzard has a ton of videos on YouTube that do a deep dive into it. Entire mini episodes of the stuff. My nieces and nephews (all under the age of 8) love every OW video Blizzard uploads. They didn't know there was a game, either. To them it's just another cartoon.

Me on vacations

That's the thing I hate the most about free hotel breakfast: by the time normal people get up, they've already shut it down for the day. I swear they do it on purpose to save money.

ADHD person here living with a normie girlfriend and apparently it's not. She gets so upset when I add my own personal anecdotes to the conversation, but when I sit there in silence she accuses me of not listening.

Guys I don't know what to do.

1993-2002ish was the golden age of the web. Now everybody just goes to the same handful of websites for everything. Even if you hate Spez, you still can't find any quality answers to anything without adding site:reddit.com to your searches. Everything else is SEO-optimized blogspam generated by a bot. There are no real personal webpages being run by a single person or a small entity anymore. Everything is corporate and centralized.

This Fallout New Vegas Mod rewrites over 1,000 functions to improve performance and reduce load/save times

Reply in thread

It absolutely does, though. Vanilla crashes all the time and has several game-breaking bugs. I don't recommend that anyone plays New Vegas unmodded – especially on a newer machine that'll be less compatible (like my 7700X + 4090 rig running Windows 11) – unless you just hate yourself. You need community patches to get it in a playable state.

Same goes for Fallout 3. It's not nearly as buggy as NV, of course, but try running it Vanilla on a modern Windows 11 machine and let me know how well that goes for you lol. You get massive framerate dips and it literally crashes every 5 minutes on a brand new PC if you don't install any mods to make it compatible.

Has The Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy?

I would never have known that Lemmy existed, if it weren't for redditors telling me about it around the time Spez went nuclear on 3rd party apps. And here I thought that everyone on Lemmy came from reddit.

FWIW, I've heard that they've recently been censoring any mentions of Lemmy. They're obviously afraid of reddit becoming a repeat of digg. Which is why they've been slowly enshittifying the place instead of doing all at once like digg did. Fuck reddit, and fuck Spez.

I have those same containers. Spent hundreds on an entire set.

Worst gimmick I've ever wasted money on. The lids do not seal at all; hell, they barely stay on. Never again.
