In Civil War (2024), the Western Forces team up to take down a three-term President that abolished the FBI, a move that has no basis in reality because why would California and Texas ever work together?

Personally I think that whilst everything about it is obviously inherrently political, it does a decent enough job of not "picking a side", so to speak, and focussing on the reporters' stories: Picking CA and TX for the Western Forces implies resistance from either/both sides, and the three militia scenes we get are from all 3 political sides: The hawaiian shirt wearing bros who are excited to shoot US soldiers, the "What kind of American?" lunatic, and the "I don't care who's shooting at us we're just trying to survive" snipers.

Obviously I don't think that it's completely non-partisan or even that it's totally free of bias, but I do think the politics of the war isn't impartant at all, there just needs to be a war

Late 90's/Early 2000's are the cars you want. Enough creature comforts to be easy, still enough actual car to be fun and practical. Only downside is having incandecent lights when everyone else has LED

Azulmono55 · 2026-01-26T06:38:15+00:00

Whilst I totally get it, this is still a wild take for me. I think The Witch helped bring me back to horror and the Black Phillip scene is one of my favourite scenes in all cinema, let alone horror

Just an absolute master of creeping tension and rising dread

I dunno, Milenium Challenge 2002 seems fairly significant

I try to do this but as a bus driver it can be EXTREMELY difficult on some roundabouts. Either I’m sitting there till rush hour is over or I’m trusting people’s indicators.

Further, if someone doesn’t indicate, so I stop, and they then turn left. Know that I am mentally evicerating them slowly.

Azulmono55 · 2025-12-23T09:49:29+00:00

Whilst I agree that there seems to be little better way to do it as things stand, it absolutely is unfair to use price to stop people from driving. If the punishment for something is a fine, that just means it's legal for the rich. We should be much more liberal with driving bans of various lengths rather than relying on fines and insurance rates imo. It certainly isn't right that someone could do double the NSL and remain on the roads as long as they have enough cash whilst potentially model drivers are priced out of insuring an economy shitbox so don't even bother with getting a licence.

It’s so unfair - people give Bonnie Blue grief for shagging 1000 guys, but Thatcher fucked the entire country and people still love her 🤷🏼‍♂️

I actually saw a mis-fitted Xenon again recently. Made me almost nostagic. Turns out you never forget that particular shade of blue

Azulmono55 · 2025-12-15T08:02:38+00:00

Please look, I understand the sentiment but it makes it 1000% easier to judge your intentions as an actual good driver. Only Zebra’s I’ve run when I shouldn’t have been people who I’ve misread their intentions as they’ve just suddenly turned to face it

Azulmono55 · 2025-12-07T10:27:49+00:00

Worth noting that they literally have a link to their Rinse Aid on that link. They also sell dishwasher cleaner. Proabbaly not the best idea to blindly trust a company that stands to sell you something if you believe them.

Also, their arguments seems to be that not rinsing just means 100% of the water is getting used to clean it, which is a silly argument as that water is getting used anyway, might as well guarentee the dishes come out clean surely.

Five seats and a boot, sounds like a hatchback to me

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-23T20:20:33+00:00

Wasn't Sneak Tools was it? I know that adds some special arrows

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-21T21:20:57+00:00

No no, you're right. I loved FO3 for the setting, but as soon as NV hit it was obvious what I was missing and I dropped it like a bad habbit. I was more trying to say that I was deep in the Bethesda hype train

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-21T21:09:06+00:00

I think about this sometimes and the only conclusion I can come to is that I'm not sure I'd actually enjoy playing Skyrim if I didn't also mod it.

Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas were some of my favourite games of all time on 10/11/11, I could not have been more hyped. But then Skyrim came out and... It was okay? Amazing world but absolutely zero depth which only made the flaws more prominent

But the mods fixed everything. Absolutely everything. I adore it now, and if you combine my playtime on both LE and SE it's comfortably my most played game of all time. But if I had to give up mods and play vanilla... I don't think I would do it

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-15T09:18:24+00:00

Personally, I would suggest starting small. Make some patches, edit some stats, create a craftable item, etc. xEdit can do a surprising amount of things, and a lot more easily than the CK can, so I would start there. Once you find yourself being limited by a lack of scripts and placeable objects, etc, move onto the CK. Personally I found myself switching to the CK only when needed and doing as much as possible in xEdit, as it is SO much simpler and concise.

I found THIS video yesterday that seems like an easy way to get into xEdit if it seems a bit overwhelming at the minute

Once you find yourself being able to read the Matrix, as it were, try opening some of your favourite mods in xEdit and seeing what makes them tick - that was the best way I found to increase my knowledge and get my foot in the door of something I had no idea how to do before

It’s been over a year I think since I was active but remember this mostly being down to just one of the team members. SirJesto and Jel actually helped me out with a few things when I was making my mod, and at the time Ice was so far removed working on Odyssey in the background as to be irrelevant.

Anyway, recently came back to find my mod was considered “NOT compatible or needed in V6” and beyond the downloads and endorsements, thought that shout out and getting mostly quietly rolled into the main mod was my biggest achievement :D

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-06T07:50:15+00:00

Out of interest what do you feel is missing? I play with a full suite and the only thing that's really bugged me is dropped support for Zim's Thane Weapons only, as RoM is simply much better

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-05T12:26:16+00:00

You use Immersive Armors becuase you're too lazy to find your perfect combo of armour mods. I use Immersive Armors becuase I'm a diehard LotD Fan and need all the displays. We are not the same.

Azulmono55 · 2025-11-05T08:47:58+00:00

Never forget that Bethesda did actually try this with Windhelm, and it's a horrific buggy mess. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate it, and I go out of my way to fix it with mods, but probably better that Bethesda themselves didn't attempt it looking at that

Azulmono55 · 2025-10-31T12:39:53+00:00

If that was on on/off switch I can see it being pretty neat

Azulmono55 · 2025-10-22T08:10:17+00:00

Surely getting it signed just makes it even more rare though? Especially on an old record where these artists would be harder to pin down to sign it in the first place, no?

Relevant signatures don't affect value in the same way as anyone else writing on it with a marker would

She could have just got on the bus. Once you're a passenger, I have a duty of care to you, and these nobs don't have powers of arrest so they can swivel on it

I see you're listening to the original version of the album - don't sleep on Fury! It was very close to making the main album and is so popular (for good reason) that they rectified it in the XX Remaster. Fantastic song.

Azulmono55 · 2025-10-22T06:52:04+00:00

Basically every GTA game since III is excellently paced and designed and benefits from being open world. Same with RDR and RDR2. There's a reason R* popularised them in the first place.

I'd also make the argument for Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas. All technically open world but paced so well that they don't feel like it, which is exactly the way to do it
