There was a time when I thought Fallout 3 was bad, and everyone and their mother gave me shit for it.
Having beaten it several years later, I can honestly say that I enjoyed it quite thoroughly.
Then, all those people who gave me shit for not liking it before suddenly decided that they hate the game now.
That's my life in a nutshell.
You can easily track it on Reddit (elsewhere as well, but it ain't as concentrated with fanboys as /r/Fallout who like to argue or post "DAE FNV WUZ GREAT?"). -Fallout 3 got released; old folks hated it, claimed Fallout 2 was the best, a lot of new folks loved it. -Fallout NV got released; some old folks loved it, a lot from Fallout 3 loved it, a lot from either camp hated it for different reasons. Ended up having Fallout 3 vs Fallout NV wars, still do (The whole "but muh atmosphere" argument). -Fallout 4 is released. Everyone's has an initial orgasm as it released, then as it simmers down everyone gets into a shitfit about talking protaginists, plotholes, retconns, glitches, limitations... then it got worse when mods were released for consoles, then as Workshop DLC and Nuka World was released. Now we're at a stage where many have fallen by the wayside after each Fallout release so you got Fallout NV vs Fallout 4 as the main argument, some still stuck on Fallout 3 vs NV, and some old fogies with Isometric Fallout vs 3D Fallout. Reddit is currently in cycles of "DAE COMBAT ZONE SHOULD WORK?" to "DAE LOVE THE VERTICALITY?", circle jerking an infinite line of hate and love, with no apparent middle ground.

I got a few, no pictures yet though. Maybe later. Spag Bol. Everyone has their own recipe, so here's mine: Spoiler -Fry chopped onions and gralic until soft/clear.
-Add 200g beef mince, brown it
-Add 3 beef stock cubes, tin of tomatoes/chopped, and a healthy blob of tomato pureé.
-Mix in the gloop, then chuck in dried basil and oregano to taste, and a bay leaf or two.
-Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce starts to boil. Serve with pasta, spaghetti, whatever
Spicy Sausages and Pasta Spoiler -Fry chopped onions and garlic until soft, then chuck in some chopped peppers or chillis to lightly fry.
-Separately, fry sausages, then chop them up into bits
-Around now you wanna boil up some pasta
-Put a tin of tomatoes/chopped, some tomato pureé and some herbs with the onions and simmer for 10 mins
-Once mulched, add sausages and (already cooked) pasta together.
Peppered Steak and garlic mushrooms Spoiler -Chuck some wedges or chips into the oven. They take ages, whereas the steak doesn't.
-Chop up some garlic and mushrooms and set aside
-Get a steak, put it on a plate.
-Get yer hands dirty. Rub oil into both sides of the steak, then add salt and pepper to taste
-Get the frying pan nice 'n' hot, then chuck the steak on.
-60 seconds each side of the steak
-Chuck in the 'shrooms and garlic after you flip the steak over, add a little bit of oil to the pan for them
-Once the steak is fried on both sides, put on med. heat and finish the mushrooms.
-(Optional) Keep the Steak on the med heat to cook further if you like eating leather, or if the steak is a thick one.
-Shove it all on a plate, pull out the chips and serve.
-(Optional Optional) Have a pot with milk and some pepper sauce on the go to add to the meal.
Chicken Curry ("Curry" being whatever curry powder mix you have/can make) Spoiler -Fry some chicken until sealed
-Add some curry powder/ (some mix of cumin, tumeric, chilli, etc powders to taste) so that all the meat is coated
-Add 3/4 of a pint of natural/greek yoghurt, and some crushed cardamoms
-Simmer for 40 mins
-Serve with rice (and some fresh coriander if you got any)
-(Optional) If you want some more texture and taste, add onions, garlic, peppers, etc to the mix BEFORE the chicken.
Cheesy Tuna Pasta Bake Spoiler -Boil pasta
-Fry up some sweetcorn and mushrooms. Add tuna last and lightly fry, don't mush it.
-Pop in a tin of mushroom soup, cook until hot
-Put the pasta and the sauce mix in a casserole dish
-Sprinkle cheese and onion crisps/crushed doritos over the dish
-Sprinkle cheese over that
-Shove into an oven, cook until the top is golden brown
Aubergine bake (The only veggie-only option I have that isn't just pesto or something) Spoiler -Boil some spuds (Optional: Keep the skins), and slice them
-Slice up an aubergine and lightly fry it
-Fry up some onions, garlic, and tinned tomatoes together separate from everything else
-Pop the potato slices into a casserole dish and pour over the cooked tomato sauce
-Layer over the aubergines
-Thinly slice some cheddar and layer that over, over heavily sprinkle grated cheese over the whole thing
-Bake in an oven until golden brown/dark brown and bubbling, serve
White Soda Bread (not exactly "Irish" Soda bread, but same principle without seeds) Spoiler -Plain flour
-Milk
-Half a lemons' juice
-Mix the milk and lemon juice, leave for 10 mins to curdle
-Mix with flour and a teaspoon of baking soda and a dash of salt
-Add more flour/milk as necessary and knead until the dough isn't sticking to your hands
-Roll into a ball, then spread it out lightly until it's a round loaf the size of a plate
-Run a knife through the dough in an X, but not cutting entirely through the dough
-Chuck into the oven, cook until it's rised and makes a hollow sound when you tap it.
-Break in half, then in half again using the X you made, slice up and serve
-The fresher out of the oven, the better.
-(Recommended) Get some flour with seeds in it, it's called mill-grain or something. If not, just chuck in sunflower seeds, oats, etc into some brown flour and you have a basic Irish Soda Bread.
I have a great student recipe book that has a load of other recipes (except the Soda bread one) but I use these the most consistently (and soda bread is fucking lush toasted with butter and nutella).

It was an odd day today. After reading the sad news this morning, my housemate found out his Granddad had passed away in the afternoon. There was some small conciliation to this as he had gone to visit him only a few days beforehand.
I'm not the most well known, liked or even that interesting a person, but I hope the lot of you know that you make this place a uniquely interesting forum to visit every day or so, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
Now, I'm going back to contain my feelings before I vomit over how sickly that reads back to me. Carry on.

Robo-Pres and Silhouette combo boss fight was a bit of a kick in the shins.  Wasn't too difficult if you avoided the SAM's and Tesla coils, but Robo Pres wasn't the hard part. After him, you gotta fly your now-wrecked saucer over to a landing site whilst avoiding tanks that can shoot you out of the sky (as well as any leftover AA from the Robo-battle), land, rendezvous at the Pentagon, dodging tank shells that can knock you down and kill in two shots as you go, then kill the bitch who can regenerate health 4 times whilst her plasma-cannon wielding MIB goons take pot shots at you. I forgot to mention, tanks and Plasma MIB's have this glitch where if there's two or more firing at you, the first will knock you down and take 7/8's of your health away, whilst the second finishes you off. Normally if you get knocked down there's a cooldown to give you a chance to run away. And if you die during the Silhouette battle (or even as you land and walk over in between battles)? You gotta start from the start, and kill Robo-Pres again. Tedious, time wasting and can be caught out when the game mechanics decide to fuck you up.

How are people even able to cheat at your universities? Especially in STEM since most of the grade marks come from examinations.
I knew a few in First Year who slipped small pieces of paper into their sleeves with tiny printed notes, and one guy who stuffed notes in his pants and had a quick read at "toilet breaks". Neither passed, so I wouldn't call it successful, but cheating nontheless.

Hoping he's getting on with building that log house up there, now that he's got time.
Had a chat with him about this time last month, after a little altercation in Sapphire that got me banned there for a week. After I got back for my ban, I found out he'd been defending what I'd said that got me into trouble. He didn't have to, didn't need to, and I'm not sure that it helped, but it was the thought that counted, certainly more than I could've expected.
I didn't know him well at the time other than what I'd read and I guess I won't be able to now, but he always had that air of being friendly and approachable. It seemed easy for him to start a conversation, be an ear to listen to, a shoulder to lean on, and all the other clichès.
I and many of us are thankful for it, some more than others, for the conversations we had with him.

Turkey's Racist Minute:
So for real though, the overwhelming majority of foreign engineering students I interacted with were openly cheating, racist, misogynistic assholes. Nothing of value was lost with this.
is it racist if it's true? cheating is so common place in a lot of asian countries that there were protests in china when some of their universities wanted to start cracking down in it.
Can confirm not racist. Bulgarians in my class kept trying to copy my notes for coursework - some on the MESci course where you have to maintain high grades to stay in, when I myself at the time didn't know shit about rocks. There is obvious exceptions to the rule which I like to believe are the more common, one friend of mine from Malaysia has worked his arse off for his Electrical Engineering course and got an internship at Nissan.

They already do that. I've got some VHS copies where the Original Star Wars trilogy got some CGI makeovers (e.g. Adding Hutt to a few scenes).
Then there's the fan recut of the Hobbit trilogy that cut the 12 hour total to just under 4 hours by getting rid of the useless side story, filler, and shit that wasn't in the books.
Having watched both, I'd say it holds it's own as a film, but the original has to be recognised, just as it should for games.
While what makes a mod good is subjective, shit like giving a crab monocles or making a randy savage dragon doesn't fit well or respect Skyrim's theme, for example.

My job in Geology would be pretty solid. Robots can't traverse around wilderness very well without specialised designs, and then that compromises it's rock-identifying ability, let alone a robot's interpretation for the area (the "creative" side of Geology). I'm thinking at the most automated of a career, you'd send a robot out but you'd still have to identify and work on it, kinda like the Mars rovers.
But then again, jobs in geology would have to be stable in the first place. The fun stuff is research or resource based, both require money or the promise of it, and both are in short supply atm.

Parts I and II here: http://sep7agon.net/serious/genetic-engineering-crispr/Part III - GMO's; good, bad, what do they do for us and what are they? So we all have some manner of opinion on them,or at least have heard of them. I think they sound like a great idea when they increase the amount of food for a growing population whilst taking up no more land or resources to produce, and also positively impact areas where food is harder to grow. On the other hand SecondClass, ironically or not, believes they are bad because of the MNC's behind them as well as the nature of them (or more accurately, lack thereof). So, thoughts? Has watching the video (and reading the sources to back up the claims mentioned if your sceptic) changed your mind about them or told you something you didn't know?

Shia could put the flag on the moon and /pol/ would find a way to get it.
They'd start calculating Delta V and orbital trajectories to get a shit in a jar to impact. That or the good ol' sun would UV off the HWNDU. Sun confirmed /pol/.

Watched some of the PMQ's and Angus Robertson giving her a good ol' go on the whole thing.
While May threw in some fighting words about the indyref and how leaving then meant they'd have left the EU 3 years earlier than today ("something -scosa or -sosa Agreement"), when Angus called out how Un-United the Principalities and the general population were on the result, May went back to the whole "United Kingdom is sovereign and united" schtick. As if I wasn't tired of that crap rhetoric the first time I heard it.
Still, nice to have some more meaty questions asked, like the future interactions between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland get shot down with some words that came down to "We'll burn that bridge when we come to it".
Maybe at least Britain'll get a new national holiday.

The party's winded down.
Somehow a party of drinking Welsh and an Irish guy has ended with a Hungarian guy offending 3 Finnish women and them recovering by singing a Finnish high school song whilst an English girl is passed out on the couch.
Ah, fun times. Happy St. Patrick's day all.

My boss has an uncle who may or may not have been affiliated with the IRA in more than a low level revolutionary kind of way.
That basically makes me some kind of freedom fighter, right?
Everyone and their mums is IRA around 'ere.

You're asking Sep7?
Everything is bad and overrated by this site's standards.
what is this meme I keep seeing
why do you think this
because someone didn't like the thing he liked
Its not that, I gave up on finding common ground with people online when it comes to entertainment. The problem is labelling everything "the worst thing ever" if it has flaws.
If its not perfect, it is absolute shit, the director / developer should kill his family and then drown in his own piss.
off the top of my head both nier and zelda are being enjoyed right now by people in the gaming section even though both games have flaws
He's just mad because Suicide Squid was a bad film
Was Lucy a bad film?
Idk I never watched it, it looked shit though
Ah it was okay.
Some parts felt rushed a little and there was one part that felt just like plot glue but overall pretty entertaining.
Lucy wasn't great. A good time waster, but otherwise meh.

Now I get why you called me Venezuelalox. On my phone the flag doesn't appear, all letters are in the same style. Tough if I type "IT" with them the Italian flag appears.
Wait, the flag is supposed to be V E? I've been reading your name for ages as just LOX with a weird flag.
