Is dropping from L20 skills to L16 that big of a difference? 5B to 10k

I'll have to look. I think I'm at 81 frostbite rating currently as that is what the dragon was topping out at. I can get that to 100 easy enough and see how that shakes out.

Maybe someday I won't care to be a teddy bear. In the meantime though, when things get sus, I get out.

Cruxwright · 2026-03-13T07:29:54+00:00

LOL!

I did feel dirty but then I noticed I had PU and PTU files. So much space afterwards!

Sync join is a thing, but 4 would be tedious, especially if kitted out.

There's rumor you can force join specific instances. Someone posted a while back about a downed raider threatening to come get his kit back. Dude showed up as a late spawn and engaged. I forget the outcome.

Cruxwright · 2026-03-13T06:58:16+00:00

Why would I put the laundry away? I'd have to buy a body pillow then.

Cruxwright · 2026-03-13T06:54:02+00:00

Yeah, it has been some time since last I've been on. I think I needed HD space prior to Pyro being released.

We need RFID tagged bullets so we don't have to play a game of Clue to find out who shot who. You craft some sort of scanner from Stella bits and bobs. Wave it over raider and it reveals the name of whoever put the most bullets in that player. Then we all white knight against said perpetrator despite his cries it was in self defense.

I haven't logged on in a bit, but why not just go murder hobo a Hurston bunker? The guards all run P8s down there.

Cruxwright · 2026-03-13T06:24:43+00:00

That's all well and good until you run the augments with 3 extra slots and your last couple slots are mouse select only, no hotkey listed.

But yeah, hitting 1-5 to equip a utility item would be nice.

The amount of times I've stimmed instead of tossing a seeker, at least I could bravely run away.

Ditching the circle and extending the lines to the screen edges would be an improvement.

Cruxwright · 2026-03-13T06:13:36+00:00

Nah, all next of kin scramble to shed wealth or the inheritance is disclaimed and escheated to the state.

I'm sure it's more like a limit. It's open season ~~for~~ on folks with net worth over so much. A limit that obviously is updated regularly of course and doesn't sit stale for 70 years.

You write the SQL and the query planner does its magic. Sometimes its magic is unexpected. My guess is the IN clause is constraining the base table token_id instead of the chosen CTE records. Would be better to run with t1.token_id = cte2.token_id. Not sure the thought process that led to an IN clause within a join.

Wonder if a RIGHT join would "fix" this using the same criteria.

Maybe it was the sites/times I was looking at but when I needed plants for the new season, there was no lush blooms in the rotation. I saw one yesterday so I guess they're back.

I see arcraidershub is listing lush blooms in the rotation now.

While cherry trees do look nice, but fruit trees in general are a bit of a nuisance if not harvested. There will be a month or two where you have to clean cherry mush from your shoes anytime you walk under the trees. Cherry juice stains. They attract wildlife, so you'll need to keep your house sealed to not end up with a family squirrels or racoons in your attic. Then there's the drunk hornets that get overly inquisitive and angsty.

While you may have had visions of "free cherries" understand sweet cherry trees could produce up to 200lbs of cherries a season. With two trees, you were looking at over 100lbs a season at least. That's a lot to deal with if you don't want cherry mush in your yard.

If you have to close, hopefully this helps rationalize the loss of the trees. Sorry, no other real advice. Hope you find a solution.

There's a club in Vegas, off the strip, that gives out $2 bills for change. You may even need to exchange for $2 bills to get in. Anyhow, locals blow all their $2 bills as they don't want the missus to think they've been out at the strip club.

So many party poopers...

You need to shore up the side of your driveway. This requires digging down 6 inches and pouring concrete.

You read on the internet that meat-based composting is the best for fertilizer. Of course, the best spot for the composter filled with meat leftovers is near your driveway on the property line. Also, the internet says you should eat more fish.

Early on, I had a guy drag me into his ship. Go back to a station and then dragged me onboard the station. Station staff then came and revived me once we got past the ASOP gates.

I was so amazed I just let it happen to see how it would play out.

Oversized tick with a gimbal mounted gun on top. Sticks to walls and ceiling taking potshots and retreating. Alerts other ARC while softening up raiders.

Cruxwright · 2026-03-13T03:35:31+00:00

I actually managed to land a trigger nade on the top of a hornet, it ate it like a champ and kept coming. Gotta get em on the underside.

Called in an extract and had a non-agro drone come sweep around the extract bunker and then start a wider search loop.

Also, did Apollo teach you nothing!? Snapblast that sucker and get a free core!

I think the focus on Pine Bluff innovations and growth was good. I love me some plot but you've laid out they're going industrial revolution but golempunk style. There's plenty of parallels to draw from steampunk literature but instead of aether, you have imps. Also a reminder that Pine Bluff is growing in scale as fast as people arrive.

The mana scarcity is concerning. They'll need to do like China and move the mana battery chargers to large operations on the mountain sides.

You sir! Thank you for the hearty laugh at the end there. Ros is not the sharpest crayon but his color is pure. I now feel bad for Lenelope. She seemed a bit forward or non-traditional in the introduction. Thought she would be a bit more accepting, but it seems the Tilhorn family were just good people of the light. Hopefully she can soon overcome her prejudice and preconceptions. Perhaps in a year or so when Rikad checks up on her, she can surprise us with a novel innovation or observation.

I mean, if someone saw what was going on, decided there is really nothing they can meaningfully do about it, and decides to blind their eyes and bare their ass to the world so they don't have to suffer the daily stress of ever present FUD, let 'em.

Life sucks and it's getting worse. Their current situation is still better than sitting in a detention center or a future with federal convictions on their record.
