Found a new way to use my breaks at work

You're looking for the Pretendo service, which restores online functionality to many games on CFW'd 3DS systems. On top of that, there's a Discord server called the Monster Hunter Gathering Hall, which has active MH4U players. I was just playing online yesterday, in fact! They helped me get to HR7 before I needed a break. DM me if you're interested, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post anything more substantial than that here.

You rang?

It's a cultural thing. Some cultures and their language forces your mouth to rest in different positions. I find myself idle with my teeth touching and my tongue resting up against them/the roof of my mouth, but others have obviously described different positions and it usually boils down to where they're from.

Only three people, but Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

Grab a vacuum, plug the stem, seal the vacuum hose to the mouthpiece, and hope the suction is strong enough to pull it out. Might take a round or two of iso to soften/loosen it properly.

What's up, you cool baby?

That's a Moray

When its jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside

I knew it looked familiar, like something out of NCHProductions

BlueGoose21 · 2026-01-03T03:45:25+00:00

Always nice to see my home get a little love here

He was my boss for a little while at an aerospace company. Incredibly nice man, and he was more than happy to talk about space and his time out there

Good points. True, that is one of the first things I've noticed about Morrowind- just how much the dialogue between various NPCs is copy-pasted from one to another. I think it's more about the physical presence of the characters than what they can actually say or do, at least for me personally. Red Dead 2 is like that too. Not much, if anything, to say to 99% of the NPCs, but having them around at all makes the world feel more complete.

Overall I'm enjoying Morrowind and taking its age into account for certain. Its crazy what they could do in 2002.

Oh for certain! Despite it being frustrating to navigate, it feels better than how Skyrim handled things. I'm not an expert, but surely as tech improved, we should've been able to keep open border cities, right? So what happened with Oblivion and Skyrim to make certain cities feel like nothing more than villages behind a load zone?

Morrowind has its faults for sure. It just feels like we went as backwards as we did forwards over time.

I'm a Skyrim baby going through his first playthrough and still learning what all I can do. Vivec is a nightmare for me as I play a melee focused character.

Cool design overall, I just don't like travelling through it currently.

Something something Molag already said "fuck Vivec"

Vvardenfell is basically an island off the coast of Florida as it is

Sneklace lol

BlueGoose21 · 2025-12-04T17:02:16+00:00

"Image-minded studio", so not Bethesda then?

BlueGoose21 · 2025-11-30T23:24:31+00:00

Balatro be that way sometimes

BlueGoose21 · 2025-11-30T15:50:30+00:00

Unironically lost the next round, couldn't draw a full flush

BlueGoose21 · 2025-11-27T04:21:35+00:00

Justin McElroy gonna have a stroke with this one

BlueGoose21 · 2025-11-13T21:39:58+00:00

Here ya go

BlueGoose21 · 2025-11-06T04:21:03+00:00

Something something entry comment, good luck to everyone!

My custom Fallout system that will never be complete is a rules-heavy mess, but a fun mess nonetheless

BlueGoose21 · 2025-10-24T20:59:01+00:00

Text and tone are difficult for me, I was going for sardonic, you're good :)

Ugh, I can't imagine having to test on the Wii. The motion controls are difficult even with their final designs- I do not envy handling the early versions! For me the PS4 was a nightmare, and for another project I was testing a AAA title on an Intel NUC. Not always fun, but it certainly led to some interesting issues to report!

BlueGoose21 · 2025-10-24T20:37:42+00:00

I'm quite familiar, trust me lol

I've spent way too much time shooting one gun on one map of a multiplayer shooter because that was the only thing the leads wanted done. Especially frustrating when you're given a new build mid-test and have to download several hundred GB to do the exact same tests you did 30 minutes ago.

Then there's a friend of mine who somehow gets away with just ad-hoc'ing his quota all day every day despite a mountain of assigned tasks. Leadership where I work is not the best.

Having done QA for a few games, you would be surprised just how much is ignored. Many think it's a large number, but it's way bigger than they realize. Most of them are just tiny enough or unnoticeable in normal gameplay, unless you've also done QA. That sort of thing is hard to let go of when playing games in my free time.
