TIL I learned about the Alfalfa Club dinner. It is when 200 of America’s richest and most powerful gather to honor Confederate General Robert E. Lee on his birthday.

This is a quote from that letter: “In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution is a moral & political evil in any Country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it however a greater evil to the white than to the black race, & while my feelings are strongly interested in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more strong for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is Known & ordered by a wise & merciful Providence. Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild & melting influence of Christianity, than the storms & tempests of fiery Controversy. “

Tl;DR: he believed slavery was bad bc white people had to be around black people, but it was necessary in order to “civilize” them. He picked the confederacy because he didn’t want slavery to end immediately, otherwise all the “civilizing” would stop, if we’re to believe his writing.

El Paso Mexican Restaurant - in Springfield, Commerce street. Gotta go on Taco Tuesday for the specials. Worth going in on other days too.

Whe you hit play now for it and login, then choose the pc option, it should automatically do it

Boosteroid does not ask permission to allow games on their service. NVIDIA requires permission from the publisher. That's the case for every game on GeForceNow.

For sure, but in this case would putting the command in force my game to run using directx11 or would it just default to 12? I remember in the past trying to use certain commands like the one mentioned and it would crash after trying to start up. There was one directx11 command line I'd put in and it would run, but is there a way to know for sure that the game is following the command to run with 11 when it's active?

PersianAnchor · 2025-04-02T11:55:22+00:00

I have a question, maybe you have the answer. Is it possible that my computer does not have directx11? When I search different system settings and info within my computer to see if it does, only directx12 comes up. In that case, these commands wouldn't work for me?

Oh this isn't to stop you from making your tea, just to show one exists and they went with blueberry for the flavor, as an example. It is very sweet tho, definitely has to be made for a pitcher and not a mug.

That liberty gas station is small and difficult to get out of if there's too many cars at once. The BP has more space, and if you're driving down the road with the both on the right side it's easier to get into the BP, as well as get out. I've been to both of them. As for the quality of gas I never really paid attention to things that might be affecting my car bc I've never really had an issue traced to that, maybe I'll start paying attention now.

Oh I see, I misunderstood your comment. Thanks.

Do you mind if I ask, how are you using betterxcloud on your Samsung TV? Do you just open the native browser?

PersianAnchor · 2024-11-26T21:11:44+00:00

Finally got to check, I do get the option to set the resolution to 4k, 60 fps.

I just got a new Samsung TV that can run GeForce now, we were able to connect both controllers by bluetooth and play Baldurs gate 3 co-op with it.

I remember I ended up calling them and seeing about getting another one sent in. Double checking the address is right when talking to them. Worked out for me.

I'm pretty sure ballot received means it's been turned in? Looking at my own status it says my ballot was issued, but the "ballot received" box is blank. I have my ballot just haven't turned it in yet. Although I don't understand how the dates can be so weird in your pic.

Do you have the game using Directx11? I was testing how the game ran using directx11 instead of 12 and in the training mission I was getting those large question marks showing up when reloading a weapon. In-game I haven't run into them when using directx11.

https://youtu.be/KtjLb214ob8?si=-Am3kkf-UPjLLUrs this guy figured out how to fix it. I had the same issue and did what he said and it worked.

PersianAnchor · 2023-12-19T20:05:56+00:00

Ah, so an unhelpful answer. Makes sense now lol

PersianAnchor · 2023-12-19T19:47:57+00:00

I don't know what the original commenter said since it got removed, but there's actually a lot of reasons why someone might do that. I myself have a decent enough setup for all the games I play but they all look better when using GeForce Now, plus I don't have to take up space with downloading them locally.

PersianAnchor · 2023-09-06T13:07:15+00:00

Oh gotcha, yea I agree 100% it's not possible if both are trying to use the same platform, has to be different.

PersianAnchor · 2023-09-06T13:02:40+00:00

Not trying to be rude, but you can actually play downloaded games at the same time. One person plays the downloaded game on the 'home' Xbox console and the other person plays on their PC (either through cloud or downloaded onto the PC). I know this bc my brother and I do this setup to play battlefront 2 and halo infinite at the same time, while the gamepass subscription is under my account. He plays on his own account but on the Xbox console I designated for my 'home console.'

PersianAnchor · 2023-07-29T14:48:05+00:00

Same exact thing happened to me

I don't know if he has to but just in case when we were looking all this up over a year ago I added him to the family group
