  • Step one: Buy a few firearms, for different scenarios (which should be easier under Trump sigh)

    Step two: Go to work, home, and limit unnecessary errands, order for delivery more.

    Step three: Practice marksmanship with various firearms. I have a country, but sane, friend of the family with a shooting range on her land.

    Step four: Hunker down in my deep red state, because I hold non-christian belief’s and I won’t recant them on pain of death. Not because my beliefs “protect” me, but because as an American, I believe in freedom of religion and I’ll die a proud American before I die as a Christian, my belief’s don’t matter compared to that. The protection of those belief’s does.




  • I will cheat in single player games. I give it a solid “first time” unmodded play through. If it’s good, I’ll do other “paths” or “builds” depending on the game.

    Then make it a little more… interesting, or different even.

    Then you work up to Total Conversions, and thats fucking great for longevity.

    Then at a certain point, its quality of life. I don’t want to spend 20 hours getting to the “interesting” part of the game. I can no longer get even just an hour to dive into a game uninterrupted. I love immersion; in the past it was an unhealthy escape mechanism, now when I get it, its a breath of not dealing with my day to day shit for just a little bit. Life always gets in the way of living, at least the way we want or need to in the moment. But I digress…

    But cheating in a multiplayer game really defeats the purpose of multiplayer. An unbalanced play field isn’t fun for anyone.

    I’d like to see more games embrace a modding community. If you and a few friends want to play with mods A, B, D, and F, more power to you guys. Keep enjoying that game.

    Just don’t force an imbalance on other people.

    Pretty sure checking a post on their site, say for a BG3 build idea, doesn’t constitute abuse.

    The powers that be sacrificed their only value, their user base, to make money quick. We’ll see how it plays out long term, but I’ve moved away from social media. My lemmy use is only on my desktop at this point, and I get precious little time at it, so most of it isn’t spent on lemmy.


  • As an American, fuck yes, absolutely, 100%.

    As a Texan, fuck yes, absolutely, 1000%.

    The wife and I are already considering leaving the state. Prices for everything are rising to ridiculous levels.

    An apartment I could have afforded on my own a decade ago would require three incomes, and the neighborhoods are no less violent and crime ridden. Food deserts, lack of health care options, lack of gainful employment in that geographic area, all deterrents to paying more than I do now for a mortgage.

    If I thought I had the skills and wherewithal to strike out and homestead I would. Alas, I do not.

    I long to leave “the grid,” but require medication to function as a normal human being. As such, I am beholden to the system. I must cooperate against my better interest to attain medication to live. I am, for lack of a better term, a slave to it.

    Before anyone comes in calling a race card play, or any other shit, I am a cis het white male. In theory, I am the problem, and yet I suffer the same.

    I decided at the age of seven that life, as we know it, was not worth living. 30 some odd years later, that has not changed.


  • I like that, I really do.

    Batman is a genius, in several realms, but as a tactician? MAN… With time to prepare, including ramming through scientific processes with just fucking CASH, he can probably could take on anyone.

    Surprise The Bat? Man, he’s fucking solid… Melee combatant, strategist, understanding of a WIDE field of practices, he is fucking GOOD.

    That being said, he is a MAN. Just a human being. GREAT training, GREAT tech, GREAT strategy… but still, something alien to his understanding (not necessarily extra terrestrial in origin) and he gets fucked.

    That being said, Batman exemplifies the powers of the human MIND. If we can assess it, HUMANITY can provide a short term solution. Long term, we can fuck ourselves. Short term though? We can kill God, gods, etc.

    Batman represents humanity, as a mental construct, at its peak. We can take in, digest, and provide useful solutions to solve a problem. Again, short term. We rarely plan past a generation or two.


  • I’m currently off my bipolar meds, against my will. Insurance change required a doctor change, and finding anyone who was available within a months time was not possible.

    I need shit to get back to “normal” in my brain. I’m not doing well. I wasn’t before, but yeah…

    Only a couple more days until my appointment. I had one last week, and they sent me to the wrong place, coupled with a whole slew of other issues, and I said fuck em. Thankfully found someone the second time around pretty quickly.
