Graphics was in DIRE need of an update on original Mount And Blade. Game came out in ~2010, but the graphics felt like they were early 2000's.

Sequel did an 8/10 job on bringing those up to the late 2010's (despite its ~2022 release).

That said, the base game became unwinnable with how impossibly stupid the game AI became. They also tried to build in a "main story" which was busted in multiple fronts and virtually impossible if you ever experienced a party wipe (very common occurrence in the early game).

Even with cheats enabled, my best run at the sequel's primary objective (conquer the map), I only ever got ~25% of the way there after over 200 hours of game play.

August will mark 10 years of playing Rimworld for me.

Obv its not the only thing I play, but I come back to it every 3-4 months after little breaks. Was the same for Mount and Blade till the sequel came out. The sequel was both such an upgrade and such a downgrade it made it hard to keep interest. It's been probably 2 years since I booted that up. Maybe I should give it another try.

Can confirm. Source: I am that co-worker

Now I need ones for Auth-Center, Right-Center, etc, plus radical centrist.

I think the real apathy about the release is how unorganized/difficult to browse the files were.

I watched a bunch of videos of people "dissecting" the files. After some nothing burger takes, I decided to pull down a copy of the files.

Yeah, there could be some genuinely incriminating stuff on there, but with how difficult it is to browse through, it could see the wheat getting overlooked in the chaff (think I'm using that metaphor correctly?).

Curious how they counted.

They obviously aren't counting National Guard, but I'm only familiar with 3 in AZ (where I was raised), which make me think they're tracking some "not full base" places as military bases.

According to MilitaryBases.com there's on 7. My knee jerk reaction is to call most "not real bases" but it does look like the ones listed by MilitaryBases.com do have full facilities and such.

Yeah, no way does the average person not know what Lemmy and Voyager are....

....once they've finished a conversation with me

Whoa, these Po and Tay people sound wild if they're fucking each other while also fucking toes.

This feels like a solution in need of a problem.

What if a website just wants to make a change to a website? How would new websites get added to the "WEBCAT Network"? Does a single company/organization control which sites are approved for WEBCAT?

You can also use dry erase marker to clean off permanent marker from a white board (just draw over the "permanent lines" with dry erase ones)

The glory of Pictish boobs are forever

FTFY (The boobs themselves eventually decay once the person they're attached to dies, thus they are not forever. But the glory they inspire lives on.)

Anyone have experience with these? Specifically looking for how "drop in and replace" it is compared to GrapheneOS.

I'd love to give it a shot, but i worry a bunch of my daily use apps won't work. I'm working to replace a bunch of the more big tech ones (Spotify, Audible, etc), but would also need to be sure Signal and HomeAssistant work seamlessly.

Was feeling frisky and decided to attempt to get the Doom Slayer achievement (Defeat the final boss with all demon spawners alive and Badder Bosses challenge enabled).

Been attempting it for a week or so and rarely make it past the 1st boss (I've gotten too used to fighting normal bosses - these challenge bosses keep hanging me up).

Mis-fired a caustic potion at Yog while one of the fists was still up. If I hadn't wasted that potion, I'm pretty sure I would've won this fight.

First time actually making it to the final boss fight with Badder Bosses on, so I feel really accomplished to have made it this close.

Edit:

A week and half a dozen tries later, finally made it!
And with TWO challenges on (ran with Swarm Intelligence on as well).
(Please ignore how much of a one trick pony I am)
