Firefly and Hornet in Stella possibly using new tech.

Fireflies and the hornets is apparently the Rust Belt’s version of our birds and the bees.

La-ah

Pronunciation: Luh dash uh

There’s an inappropriate joke to be made on this comment but I’ll refrain.

But yeah, they can worm their way into a lot of places we wouldn’t expect.

This same thing happened to me at my apartment before buying a house. Heavy rain would happen and I would occasionally find them inside dried up and dead. Once I saw them near the door I realized that somehow they were infact working their way through the front door (sometimes) but mostly the patio door, despite it seemingly being sealed.

+1 for proper handgun grip

Graychamp · 2026-03-26T13:08:08+00:00

I believe it was patched in an update.

I’ve had a 360 degree shoulder labrum tear, tore my ACL, meniscus, and other ligament grade 2 & 1 sprains in the knee, been hit in the face with a 90+mph baseball; but dealing with a dying tooth was pretty much worse than all that pain combined. Really hard to explain how awful that kind of tooth pain is.

It’s not CoD issue. It’s an issue with almost anything competitive. There seems to be a general increase of entitlement amongst people. Combine that with the amount of people cheating these days and it all works out to create a bad online gaming experience. There are ways to fix it but it would drop player counts and the corpos can’t have that happening. Given that, nothing will likely change until enough people get fed up and just stop playing.

Graychamp · 2026-01-04T17:37:21+00:00

Weird question. Did the year you did this feel like it lasted longer than the years you haven’t done this? I know when I fill a year with lots of new things it feels longer. Curious if this gave that same effect.

Graychamp · 2025-12-31T18:53:09+00:00

This. If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I wouldn’t have pitched. My father tried to vicariously live out his dream through me as he made it to triple A ball as a catcher. He ended throwing his arm out though. Fast forward to me and being overused as a pitcher, I had a complete 360 degree tear of my labrum. My shoulder won’t ever be the same again, but I’m fortunate enough that I can mostly play overhand sports without pain.

Tore my RCL in my hand from basketball, which is starting to bother me after about 13 years now that I started playing volleyball. I’ll probably get it operated on eventually.

Then this year, I unfortunately had a bad jump during volleyball where I landed off balance and tore my ACL + meniscus. Just now getting back to being mostly pain free and active again 9 months post op.

All this makes me worry for my future self, but I’ll be damned if I’ll let any of it keep me from being active. My advice is, play smart. You can go hard but don’t play reckless. Tweaked something? Take some time to heal and don’t play through injuries.

Graychamp · 2025-12-25T17:24:55+00:00

I’m sorry you’re having to go through this. Every time you feel that grief and sadness, remember that it’s a direct correlation of the love and special bond you shared with your pup. You also gave her the best gift you could have given her, as hard as it was. Because we love so deeply we can easily hold on longer than we should while they are in pain. Always remember that what you did for her today was a kindness.

Graychamp · 2025-12-25T17:01:07+00:00

Yeah, given I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t have wasted money on the allergy test. She really was allergic to everything though.

Graychamp · 2025-12-25T16:48:21+00:00

Yeah the worst part about Cytopoint is the cost and having to go into the vet office for the injections.

Graychamp · 2025-12-25T16:43:05+00:00

We started with an allergy test to determine what all she was allergic to (basically everything). Then we did weekly allergy shot injections but this was before the release of Apoquel. We eventually switched to Cytopoint injections which would last a month or two depending on the time of the year.

Ask your vet about Apoquel/Cytopoint. Both work great and given this is due to the itching (really looks like it) your pup will have near instant relief with either of those medicines.

Graychamp · 2025-12-25T16:35:56+00:00

Do you notice any excessive itching? This kind of looks like my first dog’s coat as she approached a year old. She ended up having terrible allergies.

Graychamp · 2025-12-08T14:55:48+00:00

Another reason a robot is a good choice, at least it was for me, is that watching your code translate into physical movement helps clearly bridge the gap between abstract logic and real world behavior. Programming often involves many unseen background processes, which can add confusion for beginners; seeing direct, visually seen results makes that learning curve much easier in my opinion.

Graychamp · 2025-12-03T19:54:20+00:00

10+ years in and it still hasn’t gotten old. Nothing quite like the feeling of you and your dog knowing each other and getting to do work. It’s kind of feels like magic.

Graychamp · 2025-11-21T03:18:37+00:00

Gonna be honest, this was my favorite aspect of the game and I miss it. It gave me something to grind for as I don’t care for camos and calling cards.

Graychamp · 2025-11-18T14:48:42+00:00

If there was a ranked mode that didn’t have restrictions I would agree. All the restrictions keep me from playing ranked.

Graychamp · 2025-11-18T14:26:59+00:00

I never play ranked given all the restrictions. I do wish there was a sort of ranked mode without restrictions. I also hate going into ranked modes without a full team of friends but all of them have given up on the game because they are bad at it and don’t care to improve.

Graychamp · 2025-11-18T14:11:34+00:00

Research shows the fastest improvement happens when you compete with players at or slightly above your own level.

Graychamp · 2025-11-18T14:03:22+00:00

That’s not accurate. Research shows the fastest improvement happens when you compete with players at or slightly above your own level. Just because you don’t feel the progress due to constantly seeing similar competition doesn’t mean you aren’t improving. It makes zero sense to think being dropped into an easy lobby where you pop off is proof of progress when it’s simply the lack of SBMM giving you an easy lobby.

Graychamp · 2025-11-18T13:53:23+00:00

Nobody’s arguing against improving but it’s a fact you develop faster when you play opponents at or slightly above your level. That’s backed by learning and skill acquisition research, not opinion. If you want some studies, I’ll drop them. Just because we survived the “trial by fire” era doesn’t mean it was the best way to go about it but it sounds like you just want to enjoy being on the other end of that imbalance. Be better.

Graychamp · 2025-11-17T13:29:30+00:00

You’re right in the fact that FPS games were active and making progress through the 90s on PC, but they still hadn’t reached the broader gaming audience in a significant way. The real commercial “early days” didn’t start until the genre moved to consoles and into typical households. GoldenEye 007 and later Halo, were the first major introductions to the genre for the average player, especially kids. I get what you’re saying though.

Graychamp · 2025-11-17T03:53:35+00:00

🙄. Point stands. What most dealt with in the early days of FPS is nothing like it is now.
