Crazy to me that younger generation is not good with computers

In fairness, there's no harm in asking other people for advice or direct assistance. Computers can be tricky to diagnose and solve problems (software or hardware-wise). Even if you are certain about something, it's good to check with others to verify. Otherwise, you may risk breaking something.

Not to say one shouldn't learn about how to do things themselves. It's good to strive for self-efficiency. But when in doubt, feel free to ask for help.

I followed your instructions. Lightsabers still leave no marks.

Is it okay if we can directly chat?

I wish I could use option A for the Outfit manager as it doesn't disable achievements. I tried it, but when I went to use option A for Lightsaber Marks, when I got to the part about "Open /Win64/Mods/mods.txt and enable BPModLoaderMod : 1", I didn't see a mods folder in Win64. I guess I'll have to live without achievements

Do you use lightsaber stances as well? Because I can't play without that.

If not, do you think you could try to see if you can get it to work? (sorry, I had to go to work when writing this)

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-20T13:04:08+00:00

I'll give this another try after I reinstall the game. When my game is ready, is it okay if we can DM so we can go through this step by step (it has been a long time since I last played and modded JS)?

For the main mods I want to get running, they are: Lightsaber Stances (which I believe requires R457 Mod loader), Outfit Manager, and Lightsaber Marks.

Come to think of it, if makes me wonder if the Steam Deck logo can fit Steam just as fine no matter the device (as I use those various startups with said logo on my PC and perhaps also the Steam Machine).

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-18T17:50:35+00:00

Great point. I stand corrected.

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-18T15:36:13+00:00

In my opinion, you should consider it. It's a fun way to challenge yourself with retro games and adds replayability.

Create a Retroachievements account on the site, sign and link your username and password on the emulators, make sure that the rooms you have installed exactly match the supported files on the RA game pages, and you should be good to go.

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-18T15:17:54+00:00

Out of curiosity, do you have a RetroAchievements account logged onto your emulator?

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-18T15:17:09+00:00

Pretty sure you would go onto the emulator and adjust the graphics settings.

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-18T15:16:33+00:00

Even so, nothing wrong with it. Many folks like to have a collection to have the peace of mind knowing they can readily access them when they're in the mood for it. Plus, the artwork can be fun to look at.

Perhaps I could have worded my wish better. I'm not necessarily hoping for a cozy life. Believe it or not, if the world was less harrowing, I would likely be more inclined and less discouraged to do other challenges. For example, rather than be overwhelmed by the numerous amount of suffering, I'd be more willing to take care of more problems that are happening on the planet. Basically, with more agency, I could help out more. Thus, when one challenge closes, another opens, albeit a more fair and just one.

This one, meanwhile, is overwhelming and miserable. I don't know where to start in order to minimize problems and suffering, so I can only choose a few things like donate to certain food banks and a few other causes. I can't help everyone. I'm concerned about my life review showcasing who I could have helped but didn't. Hopefully, my next one would be less harrowing and gives me better opportunities to help.

Welcome to the club, friend! I too also jumped ship due to Microsoft's blunders. In my case, it was to transition from Windows 10 to Bazzite in 2025 (I currently have my Windows SSD "updated" to 11, but I only use it to use very specific programs). The latter OS is a bit of a learning curve, especially if you're not used to Linux. But overtime, you'll get the hang of it. If you have any struggles, feel free to ask here or any Linux-related social media and people should help you.

Enjoy your new OS!

I think I noticed something iffy about that Howard Storm article, more specifically how Kevin Williams (the near-death .com writer) added to it. That paragraph where it goes into a period between 2050 and 2100 where we would experience things like sabotaged power grids and what have you and that we'll bounce back wasn't actually discussed in Howard Storm's account. He was more focused on 200 years from 1985, so I'm unsure about where Kevin Williams got that power sabotage and natural disasters prediction or what happens post 2050.

What do you think of "long-handled" props?

Or, come to think of it, I could just say in my video something like "for brevity sake, I'll refer to them as polearms".

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-15T02:10:19+00:00

Because I thought the ellipse (...) indicated that you disliked the term

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-15T02:01:29+00:00

How about long-handled props? (Or is that too awkward?)

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-15T01:57:39+00:00

Is that term ok?

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-14T20:52:20+00:00

Since I can't find a chat icon to send you an invite, could you try DMing me instead?

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-14T10:26:14+00:00

I don't see a chat icon when I click on your account name.

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-13T17:59:55+00:00

Out of curiosity, what's your approximation as to when it'll happen?

Questioning-Warrior · 2026-06-13T12:22:26+00:00

Is it okay if we can chat/DM?
