Tell that to the blind people with cybernetic eye implants that have been discontinued and are now broken. Or people with implanted insulin pumps from now defunct companies.

These are problems that are already occurring with less serious implanted medical technology.

And you post all 53 of them in a single post instead of drip feeding them across multiple communities? You're an absolute legend!

If it still works like it did in the original, putting some sliders up will move others back, but it isn't equal, so you can ping pong between the sliders that are meant to be mutually exclusive and get both to levels that they shouldn't be able to get to simultaneously.

Edit: Also, the sims with slider unlockers gets even worse than Oblivion, as the game will use the unlocked/modded sliders when it generates random townies. I love my town of goblins with half inside out faces.

Current political discourse certainly doesn't help either.

Yes, things are going to shit (at least in the US) at speed. Getting upset at some random person (or even a large group) who might believe some dumb shit isn't going to change anything. The people pulling the strings listen to the money, not to the masses and their beliefs, no matter how righteous or horrendous those beliefs might be.

And even if the people who believed stupid shit were the root cause of all the problems, unless you legitimately plan to eliminate them, you will at some point have to learn to interact with them to move things forward. You can't just bully Trump voters into submission. They practically get off on that idea that they're somehow the underdog. And like most people, they're people. Not horrid monstrous troglodytes 100% through and through.

A very very soft ESH. I don't see how attempting to correct a misconception is anywhere close to a violation of "Be excellent to each other", but a single day ban is absolutely nothing worth feeling anything about either.

Also, rules aren't computer code, some hard and fast true or false. From the mod's perspective, someone was just given a "verbal" warning and reacted flipantly about it. A single day ban isn't an inappropriate escalation from a comment warning.

ANGER POWERED JET PACKS

Windows 11 displays as Windows 10 in a large number of places internally. It's just a later revision than any of the "actually" Windows 10 ones.

• Fold person
• Tenser's floating dick
• Feather fail
• Magic band
• Magic sand

Blumenkranz hell yeah.

Great old ones can be very friendly. I always understood them as having motivations largely beyond human understanding.

"INSTRUMENT OF MY WILL, YOU MUST SWITCH THE HEALING POTION ON THE SHELF WITH A POISON."

Like a week later the governor's butler gets injured, dies from poison instead of being healed, the store closes and the owner is arrested, the stock goes on clearance sending ripples through the potion economy, and the new butler influences the governor's choices through subtle changes around the mansion.

Actual end result goal: Topiary in the mansion garden gets cut in such a way that it slowly dies, serving as a false portent to some other cult.

The rest is just setting up other potential threads that could be pulled by the old one.

"GO STARTLE THAT BIRD"

"BUY A BOQUET OF TULIPS FROM THE FLORIST"

"PET THE DOG"

Just small, subtle pushes to events, at leaat until things reach "endgame". Shift a few pieces of reality and cause and effect here and there, as everything aligns. Not worth rushing things when you don't necessarily experience time in a linear fashion.

I hold out a lot of hope that a group will start decompiling them. There's so many versions out there that it could even be a multi-pronged approach.
