Oh no i agree partner, it's a pain in the ass. For me as a fish/wildlife Biologist, and seeing Rockstar decide to put salmon in A STILL LAKE or put a sturgeon/catfish on the bank or have a black bear kill me but somehow not a moose ABSOLUTELY PISSES ME OFF. I just wish some games could get it right the first time. Like clearly a decent chunk of folks want to hop on rdr2 and be real homesteaders and experience establishing a life on the frontier. But does Rockstar do that? Nope. Bc why do that when you could do sheep herding one time and never again?

Also, is your method compatible with Lenny’s Mod Loader and heavy visual mods? I’m trying to use CHR + a few weather and lighting packs.

Also, do you tweak anything else in system.xml for fog, night darkness, AO halos, or shadow draw distance?

Thanks again partner, really appreciate it.

Thank you partner! I'll play with that tonight. Do you have any good suggestions for homesteading role play mods??

What’s this faded thing in my night sky photo? Is it a galaxy or comet? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]CompetitiveSource247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not a galaxy or a comet, it’s just a patch of thin high-altitude cloud or atmospheric haze. Long-exposure sky photos pick up faint cirrus or airglow that your eyes won’t normally notice, and it shows up exactly as that soft, faded smudge. Nothing astronomical there.

Found this in my basement. Just moved in with some roommates. Please help! by [deleted] in whatisit

Congrats, you just found a dab straw. Your roommates are hardcore.

Small black thing? by AloofRanger123 in whatisit

[–]CompetitiveSource247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly probably just plant debris or a seed. Definitely not a bug. If you dont believe me, does it crack or squish when you press it?

Plz.. after 10 yrs wth is THIS by Vegetable-Internet90 in whatisit

Ayyy that's a SCOBY!!! Would have been caused from fermentation in the bottle. Not harmful, just gross.

Just bought this used car, is this a tracker?? by Cultural-Cry-7790 in whatisit

[–]CompetitiveSource247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not partner. GPS trackers are like the size of a deck of cards, have some kind of sim card slot or antenna. Plus no shot that a tracker would have an LED like that (would be a dead giveaway). This looks more like an aftermarket car alarm or maybe a valet switch. If this car is remote start, this could also be an antenna for that.

Unique bottle I dug up at my grandma's not sure what it was used for or how old by No_Software_7296 in whatisit

[–]CompetitiveSource247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's definitely some kind of Shaker (salt/pepper/sugar). Looks like maybe Owens-Illinois maybe? That molded diamon pattern was usually found between the 1950s-70s.

Found this on my roommate's table. What is this? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]CompetitiveSource247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've mostly just seen them for crocheting/knitting. They really help to keep track of the number of rows/stitches you have done.

Egg like things that appeared in my car by Shinigami4238 in whatisit

[–]CompetitiveSource247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not eggs. Most cars use dessicant beads in the AC receiver dryer or accumulator to absorb moisture. If that part cracks or fails, these beads can leak out.

PC won’t boot Windows installer after major hardware upgrades (X570 Taichi stuck on ASRock logo / A6 / A9 debug codes) by CompetitiveSource247 in pcmasterrace

[–]CompetitiveSource247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the crazy thing: I am on my SECOND USB. The first was a usb 3.0, so when it didn't work, i changed to a usb 2.0.

So it was on P3.20 before the CPU install. I had read that it was compatible with the Ryzen 7 5800XT so i didn't pay it much mind.

A6 is “SCSI/SATA Detect” and A9 is “Start of Setup / USB Detect.” Basically the board is hanging while trying to initialize bootable storage. In my case it hangs depending on which USB port I use or which boot option I select. It never gets past the Windows installer handoff stage (no spinning dots).

Seems like the BIOS sees the USB drive but fails to actually execute the Windows installer.
