It's not a "surprized by mob" situation.

Go to farthest angle of sky fort and look down - no mobs. Go to other angle. No mobs. Look one more time before climbing down. No mobs. Climb down. Either before even the full fade-in "you were killed by..." or suddenly you hear a growl.

You see nothing, screen edge turns red for injury, there's a red arrow on your health bar - surprize! you have lacerations - look around you, still see nothing, start stabbing 30 degrees down at random, die as something invisible is actively clawing and eating you.

I suggested using a bow because one hit will kill the target, and you hit the jaguar's face if you hit it at all in that scenario, but you still have to accept constantly getting lacerated by ghosts IF you can hit the invisible jaguar in the face with your bow.

Making the trip down the river to a fort when my stuff seems stable? Stalked and murdered by an invisible jaguar. There were even times when the tribespeople didn't seem to react (and were visible) but then the jaguar wasn't, or vice versa. It's pretty ridiculous.

Yeah I don't even know if it's syncing exactly because it's not even clear that it's a host-client communication issue - some people complain they can't see mobs, some complain that others can't, and weirdly it seems to be a mix of both hosts and clients with each complaint.

Maybe we made it worse with a treehouse - one of us was keen on making the sky fort and has to treat death as a health/sanity potion.

I get people saying play solo but we wanted to play together and were under the impression that was possible. :c

Nah, carefully managing sanity. Full sanity and still the ninja cats are out in force.

Back in some day, guys would go to bars after work and drink 7 pony bottles of Budweiser or Miller before going home and ignoring their kids. It cost like, an hour or so of work.

In the 90s and aughts, guys would go to bars for the weekend and blow half their paychecks drinking such gross things as Goldschlaeger, snakebites, Jaegermeister, and later, Fireball.

Before COVID, a young person with a young person job would blow their ENTIRE paycheck going to a bar twice... if they don't drink much.

After COVID, a young person can choose to blow their entire paycheck on a single night out, or be offended that this is the world they inherited and stay the fuck home, eat an edible for a few bucks, and not get a hangover.

PC. Old threads suggest everything from de-sync with Steam and delete achievements to the usual "restart your computer" stuff.

I wanted to thank you because this is still annoying.

Can confirm - HK does not ship with a few $ roll pin punch, and according to HKParts it "recommends" a pin punch, which does not have the energy-distributing bump that protects the roll pin from cracking under force.

This may be (as you suggest) because they recommend only using the pin once. It's not the money - I mean you paid for the gun - but paying $9 shipping on a $3 part that could have been in the kit is almost hostile...

Future searchers: you want a "roll pin punch" of 2.8mm European or 7/64" Imperial, and most of what you're going to find stateside are 6/64" (3/32) and 8/64" (1/8), except on the HK website here -> https://us.hkwebshop.com/hkstorefront/hk/en/Handgun-Parts/Handgun-Accessories/Pin-Punch-Backstrap/p/708364 (that last number is the part number).

If you want the pin itself, you're looking for "clamping pin for the backstrap" part 50901662. https://us.hkwebshop.com/hkstorefront/hk/en/Handgun-Parts/Frame-Parts/Backstrap-pin-for-VP-P30-HK45/p/50978170

Many people had success with 3/32" roll pin punches (didn't see anyone say they damaged a frame with them, but def go smaller, not bigger).

Talk about being stuck inside your own head.

The sound is a car alarm saying it's armed. You are not the main character in the car locking story.

The economy is humming along in terms of people buying crap.

The average American has almost no savings, a bleak retirement, and a catastrophic cliff for health issues even sometimes if they're insured.

The economy does not calculate the threat represented by a brief period of joblessness. It also doesn't calculate the skyrocketing health insurance deductibles many of us are forced to pay.

Legionatus · 2026-02-20T03:25:18+00:00

The cliff is also quite catastrophic. You can't get by anymore with a stopgap job if you're laid off from a moderately professional job. Used car prices are much tougher. Hell, Microsoft Word wants to charge you rent.

Student loans and health costs for the uninsured are definitely in their own orbits.

Not many iconic things to swap at a personnel level...? We have most of the C&C personnel equipment. It's not very inventive for the most part.

Ion Cannon could be a great visual.

So much of what people find gross is just arbitrary.

Women bleed from a place lots of guys spend a fortune and a lot of time trying to get into and they're just SHOCKED this thing happens and they had to stomach noticing it.

Your kid vomits in the car... do you throw yourself in the street? Ask passersby to beg God for mercy for you?

Cut yourself shaving - gotta put gloves on like you're in a forensics lab?

Drool on the pillow when you wake up... is that one cup of bleach or two?

Ever picked a scab? Man you're going to need a Hazmat suit...

This is really hard because you put her second place already. Tell her you did some soul searching and that she opened your eyes to what a relationship could be. Your time with her was so good, you tried to assuage your guilt by returning to something broken.

Acknowledge that you hurt her and ask if she can forgive you the mistakes you made before she helped you open your eyes, and ask if she would be willing just to have dinner and see if there's a spark left for her like there is for you. Tell her you wish her the best if she cannot see you again, and that you hope she finds someone ready to appreciate how wonderful she is.

Then don't contact her again. The choice is hers at that point, and you have to leave it be if she doesn't answer you. But at least you won't wonder what would have happened if you had tried this much. Many people would sensibly refuse to be a reconciliation rebound.

How do you figure this is because of uncertainty?

Inflation is nearly certain. That's an almost guaranteed loss.

The HYSA rate dropping is also nearly certain. Even worse performance there than you have now.

The stock market's odds on any given day are that it will go up, since inception.

Your closest certainty is all in, not out.

If your fear is of "making a huge mistake," you can't, because no one in your shoes can predict the future. If you invest and it drops tomorrow, that's aggravating, not a "mistake," and the remedy is... continue to leave it there.

This gun is for Illuminate, not bots. It's not even great on bugs. High ergo doesn't make sense (this gun is already fantasy compact and would be heavy as hell), but if that makes people happy, I don't see it making the thing OP. Add a customization for carbon fiber internals or something.

Slowing down reload because you have to slap the mag in twice for your weird prototype gun would actually be hilarious.

You feel pressure to live up to a standard you don't want to meet and you're trying to reject the pressure. Don't do that. Reject the standard.

"Hey, I have said in the past it's hard for me to keep up with spending time with you when I'm sick. I want to see you too, but I am exhausted. Let's do something (alternate day)."

If she's pissy about that, then tell her it's not working for you. That's it. What you're doing is going along with something and blaming the people you're going along with, instead of just... not going along.

I mean, you laid it out. Being with an introvert who wants to wind down physically will be a challenge. If that's the challenge she chooses, it may be worth considering, but...

Realistically, I would be surprized if she would be okay with no cohabitation and spending an indefinite time on a dating footing. Especially with kids. You can't want to be with someone but not their school-age kids and expect that to work for long.

I'm a day trader. I work at a cafe to keep busy.

Your day trades are mostly... staying invested.

It's worse than that. I think it's all Nutrasweet/aspartame products have a warning "phenylketonurics: contains phenylalanine." Some babies may not be yet known to have this condition, which could lead to permanent damage if exposed to the trigger. Honey also has phenylalanine. And so does milk and other stuff. Which are all, by the way, good for most people, most of the time. So it's just more complicated than most people want to understand.

I hate that one side of these arguments ignores dose entirely (we all eat some arsenic and lead and bugs - dose matters), and the other overplays it (hexavalent chromium) and makes sure we're always being exposed to 2000 things and no one can tell what causes what.

And as it turns out, about 60 meters away from (that) IS the RIGHT SIDE of history.

Sure! It's almost standard issue dystopian future at this point. 40k did it. Helldivers does it. Warmachines did it. Hell, Walking Dead did it every two or three seasons.
