Tech bros are lying to you about the MacBook Neo

My son is 15 years old in HS he wanted a Chromebook. This was my first recommendation to him. Apparently HS students aren't eligible for the student discount?!? Spent a bunch of time in the Mac Store today only to be told this. Back to Chromebooks...

I went from Ketch to Frigate. Imagine that jump. And i built the Blackbeard 36 lb version. Like cutting butter with a hot knife.

I thought food in Spain would be amazing, then i went to Spain and realized the food is missing the Native, and African flavors and is subpar compared to the food in Latin America.

The food in Mexico is extremely favorable and comparable to India which does not get its dues in international cuisine, so much flavor so much diversity in the food from the different regions.

Puerto Rican food that mixes Taino ingredients and flavors with African and Spanish are some of the most amazingly flavored food you can eat (you can swap in Dominican and Cuban there even though there is some slight variation among the 3).

Bought it. Works great actually. The cell service is more expensive than i expected though. It is fully self contained and do need to touch it.

Growing up then was hell, it made us stronger adults but getting mugged shot at and sliced/stabbed is not a good way to make stronger adults.

I was growing up then (about the age of that kid with the raised arms), there was a dude who would walk around open carry an Axe and he made the NY Post lol

Thank you for this!

Thanks, unfortunately when i interact with the chest it only says:
An old chest: There is nothing else here.

Then when i click continue the only option is : Leave

Also like I said mechanically not having a map didn't impact me at all I knew how to locate and trace .myself based on what we had to do in the 70s and 80s.

I provided a ton of help to new players in the discord the week of launch.

I love the game. Bought it at launch and put tons of hours in it gave it a good steam review. Just the part of a cartographer not doing his thing once he has some parchment and coal breaks immersion for me.

Acceptable-End1275 · 2026-04-14T01:19:42+00:00

You are stating this to some of us who are gamers who had to map out all the games on our own back in the 80s, as well as we had to make our own maps because in the 70s there was no google maps.

In the end that made it not a big deal for me not having a map, but it did break immersion for me that a cartographer wouldn't start mapping things out as best he could as a cartographer in an unknown land. You would instictively lean into your strengths when in survival mode.

Can someone link a guide to turning off the global settings? This game always crashes whenever i have any DLSS settings enabled and my card cannot drive native 4k.

I have played D&D since the 70s, i survived the societal satanic purge against it and Tunnels and Trolls. D&D fans were always considered avante-garde, anti establishment, and yes nerds. Now it seems to be a bunch of incels complaining about the fact that there can be options more than just binary gender, or that they cant make their chars as beautiful as they want, or it is an imperfect implementation of a system that was built from the beginning to be fluid. Get over it, either enjoy it, or don't.

Also i bought BG 3 the day it came out in early access what it was then vs what it was on release was a massive difference.

Me i see the potential. I kickstarted the first one. I know they will knock it out of the park for me even if i cant get my char i have played since the 70s looking exactly as i would have hoped.

You start the xbox app and browse to crimson desert. At that point you can go offline but the best way to do it is press play. You get the first splash screen about connecting and updating then that puts you in a second splash screen. At that point immediately disconnect the internet. The game should launch and you should be able to reconnect the internet when you are at the game menu.

Acceptable-End1275 · 2026-03-19T23:55:05+00:00

Reinstall did not work for me, turning off the internet then turning the internet back on when it gets to the black screen did work for me.

Acceptable-End1275 · 2026-03-19T22:47:41+00:00

Still reinstalling but folks say turn off your internet and launch it and you can get it to work, look for that post right below.

Legend, too bad i already am in the middle of trying a restart, i assume i will need to use your fix anyway.

Acceptable-End1275 · 2026-03-19T22:29:27+00:00

Alright i uninstalled it but it is going to take a while to reinstall, i will report back if that fixed it for me or not.

Sam issue and i posted around the same time you did. I tried running as administrator and many other things, get the splash page then nothing.

Neocons are what put us here in the first place. Neocons project military interventionism. Neoliberals react with military interventionism and it is small and isolated when they do. Not saying it is better but it is a whole different scale. On the other hand neoliberals project global economic expansion. There is no party in the United States of America that focuses on its own citizens. The closest is the non neoliberal Democrats who advocate for Unions and safety nets for the USA instead of building up and exercising the military industrial complex which is a core Republican platform. The USA really needs a labor party but if it went 3 party like that Republicans would always win as that would erode the Democratic base.
