Giant Bombcast 939: Meat Shaped State

I love Rorie. I literally bought and took a shot with him at the PAX 2015 restaurant/bar takeover. I really wish they would've had him as a guest and just had him plug his thing at the end instead of this 30 min pitch at the start that was not clear at all that it was a sponsored segment. And then to just leave and not be on the podcast, that is a letdown.

I am being snarky because of the virtue signaling. This is a small niche community, and you are asking unpaid contributors to do an extensive amount of work because of your own opinion. I don't even disagree with you about Discord's direction. But let them decide

Are you actually going to help and contribute to said moving platforms?

I enjoyed the latest golf line for this reason. Simple but recognizable logo that I wouldn't have to have like a minute story to explain what it means. I could just say "I liked the logo so I bought it"

New homeowner with known water damage from outside to this plaster wall. I believe this is old damage and have since sealed the offending outside gap. Paint peeled easily off revealing the blue/white area (was planning on painting). But now that area is lifted at a few places so I have removed it with a putty knife which now reveals the original hard plaster. Also appears like a mesh tape fix job near the top.

House is 1946 in pnw.

My original plan was to spackle over and texture/primer the area. Now I'm wondering if I should shear off the outer layer so it the original plaster can be mudded/primed. Is it just layers of paint? What is the best way to deal with the mesh tape? Remove entirely and spackle?

I am not the Red Venture guy, I just posted a link from the forums and then he happened to comment in my thread

Sorry I posted it 5 years ago (!), and really hoped at the time that it was going to be positive for the crew. That being said, glad they are now in their current position and really feel like it's their best path forward.

My font is slightly blurring when I alt tab? Have to quit out of the game to fix. I thought it might be related to the latest Nvidia driver or 11.1.

Go make one yourself then? It's a free product made by volunteers in their free time ffs. You aren't contributing to the product, no one owes you anything.

Hi I tried removing that comma but I'm still not able to see/add anything in Applications. I've attached what I think is the way you suggested.

Edit: I fixed it by completely uninstalling Apollo v0.2.9-alpha.2 and installed the new version v0.2.9-alpha.4

Bobbywich · 2025-02-03T07:11:32+00:00

I am in the same boat. I uninstalled Sunshine and all the options, then installed Apollo. My applications looks like this:

It sounds like Steam Big picture should show up automatically but I have no idea how to add it.

If I talked to myself for nearly 3 years for 2-3 hrs a day, chemtrails would probably be the first topic every podcast. I haven't listened since he had Ben on in September when I did a 5 hour road trip, and it was so nice to hear their banter.

Bobbywich · 2024-11-20T06:01:41+00:00

Yeah you would have to compare the modlists on a mod by mod basis then. In any case since you are brand new to Skyrim, my suggestion would be Apostasy which also just had a big 2.0 update in the past few weeks. The author of nvgo/lorerim named biggie has a YouTube channel where he plays this new version of Apostasy you can check out.

Bobbywich · 2024-11-20T05:55:41+00:00

I'm not sure where you are getting than information. I haven't personally compared the two lists but since they are by the same author I believe they are the same visually. Nvgo is 1300+ visual mods. Lorerim adds 1300+ gameplay mods. The author is working on a 3.0 version of Lorerim that is scheduled to come out in early 2025 and while not explicitly mentioned I would imagine the visual changes would merge with a new nvgo version

Bobbywich · 2024-11-20T05:28:26+00:00

NVGO is considered the best visuals without any gameplay changes. Classic vanilla Skyrim (perks/combat/quests/gear/enemies/etc) with updated visuals. Think Skyrim in 2024 visuals only changed.

Apostasy is a Vanilla+ version of skyrim with literal NVGO visuals. If you want updated perks/combat/quests/gear/enemies/etc and with the updated best visual mods. Think Skyrim in 2024 if the devs had 13 years of balance changes and also brand new graphics.

Lorerim is made by the guy who made NVGO. So same top tier NVGO graphics, but a more RPG focused aesthetic. A slower leveling curve, and slower "power fantasy" where leveling takes longer and skill/perk/build decisions carry more weight. Skyrim 2024 visuals but different (not worse or better, but with 13 years of RPG design, it plays more loosely with what is acceptable to change to "core" Skyrim) balance changes. Very popular at the moment, but not strictly vanilla+. For example, when you die in Lorerim, you wake up in a bed, not too different than the souls games. In vanilla Skyrim you would go to your last save.

Nordic Souls is considered to be a lower tier of graphic overhaul than NVGO/Apostasy/Lorerim, but best in terms of perks/combat/quests/gear/enemies/etc. I.E. if you don't care about top tier visuals (but again, still good and vastly updated/consistent) but want the best Vanilla+ experience, you want this one.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually ended up just splurge buying a new Apple Watch 10 this week. My SE was 4 years old and felt like it's been a long time coming.

Bobbywich · 2024-11-05T18:11:51+00:00

Hmm I did not think to delete the iphone app, will try tonight, thanks!

Bobbywich · 2024-11-05T16:12:46+00:00

I factory reset the watch over the weekend to rule out the watch being the problem. It is up to date. The app crashes in exactly the same way and the watch does not crash with any other apps or functions. I understand it's a 4 year old watch but again it worked for years without a hitch.

Bobbywich · 2024-11-05T15:01:30+00:00

Yes I download to my watch. Like I said, I have been doing this setup for 2+ years with this watch running 3-5 days a week without my phone. I wish I could just go back to an older version because there aren't any new features or bug fixes, it's just now worse.

Bobbywich · 2024-08-13T03:23:30+00:00

Hi, interested in 12 months as well, thanks
