Who said anything about me being a woman lol

I'm a gay guy, although it's not exactly something I bring up around my coworkers. The exception being the shop I worked in for 7 years because those fellas were like family.

That's cool about your daughter though, the trades are a very straight male dominated field

Learned a trade that I love as a career (industrial electrician), fell in love with my boyfriend, bought and renovated a home from 1890 together, plan to get married eventually!

I don't know what it is, but I love talking on the phone. I'm more of an introverted person, so it might be because I'm not talking face to face, or because there's a set purpose for the conversation the whole time, but I'm one of the few (maybe only) people I know who actively love chatting on the phone. Sometimes I'll call my one friend, usually about something home improvement or maintenance related, and we'll chat for over an hour. I think since it's becoming more and more rare and less of a necessity also plays into why I enjoy it haha.

Dog if you're thinking about moving, come to the best small-town vines rust belt city that has the lowest cost of living in the US, where I was born and raised, Pittsburgh. I love this city to death and it has deep working class roots. I bought an 1800 sq ft, 4 bedroom home that was built in 1890 for $160k in 2020. I've been renovating it for the past few years and still got a ways to go but it's coming together beautifully.

For what it's worth, our rent is still well below the national average, and I love this city to death. It's small, but not too small, but not too large, everybody seems to know everybody, and there's always always something to do. The geography and nature and rivers really forced this city's hand a few hundred years ago where now everything is just built around and into mountainsides and deep woods, highways and roads and everything is a snarling maze of studio Ghibli elden ring on ketamine and I wouldn't want it any other way

Looks like somebody dug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm... shadow and flame.

Is this image AI generated or something?

Why is the ISIS flag in it when Hamas are in direct opposition to ISIS and are in an active conflict with them?

RPCS3 is running fairly well in my experience. It can be a bit hit or miss on what games work, but a lot of the most popular games run fine. There's even upscaling to 4K and getting games to run a 60 FPS that originally only did 30.

Poke around on here and see if what you're looking for is playable. You'll even find workarounds and optimizations for specific games (MGS4 is a big one for this)

The $10 upgrade thing is really cool. Worth it for another playthrough.
