incels are basically just guys who refuse to conform standards that would make themselves appealing to women while simps constantly try to make women feel their attention

they're both total morons lmao women like money, looks, and guys who are good at "interesting" things (whatever is trendy at the time lol)

the best way to get a girlfriend is probably by just having interesting hobbies you enjoy, and that some women also enjoy and you'll most likely get a gf, so long as you aren't slobby and totally ugly

so yes they're on the opposing ends of being clueless about the balance between men and women in society

Those cables at the bottom AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh? You want computer gore? Here's a picture of Avalon's cable management (or lack thereof) before I took it apart.

Spoiler

god damn

i have a small form factor gaming PC nowadays and I remember never being happy with the way cables looked on my mid-tower

did you upgrade your monitor?

got myself a Trinitron (very cool and based CRT TV) so kinda keen to get to work on my old school games backlog. Got a tonne of  6th-7th gen games I wanna get to work on.

gotta enable the scan lines and put it at 144hz and it’s so worth it

those indie games that try to look retro really shine once you have on those scan lines and they’re so snappy on a 144hz CRT

i was kind of put off from that style because pixel art isn’t interesting to me (seems like a relic that’s just simple and lazy to do) but once you have a set up where the game could fool you into actually being old school it’s like a blast from past and they’re actually better than the real classics

texture mods are honestly the best bet for modding the online experience because textures just improve the fidelity so you can have like 4K or even 8K textures are out there

I can’t tell if UI overhauls cause problems but i had really good luck with floating damage numbers and increasing stat details where i would say reliability is about the same

a lot of weather mods cause problems because when you join a server you join it after when you load a game, then connect so your game flies through the clock and weather cycles have to sync

so if it’s 3 PM and clear and the server says it’s 5 AM and raining then the weather mods are like oh shit and the engine can’t do it even though it tries to and sometimes works really well

the elephant in the room is that you aren’t going to be beating this game with a friend or a party

you simply can’t because at some point, things are going to break and the scripted quests will not work because of a magnitude of reasons

however…
you might be able to fudge your characters enough to piece together a good playthrough and I’ve found out how to do this by having one friend be the dedicated main character, where they are the only ones who talk to NPCs for quests and they do the looting and when another party member runs into serious problems they have to make a new character (I used a .bat file to do this so it takes like two minutes tops)

using the console commands level yourself up where you were with the other character and give yourself the gear you had again and whatever else you need to be able to play decently

around level 30 for everyone the game started becoming a nightmare and so we just kept one person as the “host” and everyone just cheated in a way where you couldn’t tell a difference and that save game was “fresh” and thus the scripting issues were not piling up

thank you for coming to my ted

oh no joker don’t tell me

it has co op mods and they work really well

idk if anyone cares about that game but if enough people actually want to play it i may build a server for it for the best experience possible but there’s some servers out in the wild to use

works with 2-8 players really well and all you need is the Steam version, a plug-in and Skyrim Together Reborn

oh yeah and mods work but obviously not to the fullest extend

Is a straight down fucking truth. I've lost nearly £15 in the last two and a half months.

Which isn't a good thing but I do kind of miss the daze where I can just order Chinese takeout without fear of any financial turmoil from doing so.

waiting on a new pulley because I broke the last one but it still works

going to stiffen the handling a bunch with eibach pro springs, koni dampeners, and H&R sway bars

kind of want to make it faster but I’m going to hold off on that for now

reject the good mods, embrace ebay 3582 and piggyback ecu

nah I like my superchargers

You don't

i once was just a regular joe, who foolishly listened to music in order to see if a song was enjoyable but after hours and hours of learning about frequency response, pressure physics, radiology, and modern digital to analog audio tricks such as short-term fourier transform to determine how a waveform will produce sound.

other methods are using tools like spotify rippers and youtube terminals to browse popular audio services through the Linux command like (arch), i listen to all my audio with a waveform and spectrogram sampled to 48khz (44khz is too compressed on the high end [i have hd800s and a D50s digital-to-analogue audio converter and generate my own clean audio via solar and a true sine wave power supply to prevent PWM spikes in the sub bass] so i can tell the difference)

another thing i have done is extensively listen to every popular recording studio and their respective labels in order to identify if a song is good just based on how the track is produced since most production music is board-design garbage

anyway, i hope you find these tips useful and you can enjoy listening to music by simply looking at a .jpg of the songs signal response

there's so much music like that i don't even know where to begin haha

I had plans to meet with some guy from bnet for a movie and when I got there he just never replied to me but apparently he was there so we both just watched the movie without ever seeing each other lol

ok this is fucking hilarious

Just a reminder - I lived in Louisiana for 16 years in a shitty neighborhood, and lived in Arkansas for another 9 with no problems whatsoever.

Since coming to Utah for the year and a half I've been here, I have been beaten to unconsciousness and robbed (with broken but thankfully fixed teeth), had an actual home robbery, and now I'm partially blind. Last part is incidentally my fault for not just kicking it away and not properly washing my hands afterwards... but fuck this state. Makes me want to move away as far as possible.

whether you want to or not, it sounds like you're on the path to being an excellent country singer. just need to throw in some good bar fights
