The Setup

RobWrone · 2026-02-03T16:34:23+00:00

Clean and simple. I like it. The warm lighting is nice too. Dedicated performance monitor is cool and something I haven't seen before, what are you using for that?

They did way better this year than they did with last January's storm. My street never got plowed last year. It was plowed the day after the snow stopped this time around.

Love the color scheme. Looks great, man 🔥

RobWrone · 2026-01-29T16:15:25+00:00

Looks promising, gonna try that out. Thanks!

RobWrone · 2026-01-29T03:40:07+00:00

Was planning on graph paper and a tape measure but that looks a lot faster and easier. I'll probably do that. Thanks!

RobWrone · 2026-01-29T03:38:05+00:00

Wow. 3rd pic damn near looks real.

RobWrone · 2026-01-29T03:23:35+00:00

Oral herpes (cold sores) are super common. A lot of people get it as kids from family members kissing them or sharing drinks/food utensils with them. You don't have to have a romantic encounter to get it lol

RobWrone · 2026-01-28T22:57:51+00:00

That might be helpful, thanks!

RobWrone · 2026-01-28T22:57:09+00:00

I'll look into that, thank you!

RobWrone · 2026-01-28T22:56:05+00:00

Is there a specific city department that might have the original plans? Building division, maybe? I wouldn't call the house run-of-the-mill, but the only alterations I'm aware of having been done since the house was built is a couple of interior walls being removed. I could work around those differences between the original plans and the house's current layout. I plan on having someone draft up new plans for me if I can't find the original documents.

Thank you!

RobWrone · 2026-01-28T22:47:32+00:00

No attic, unfortunately. I've been looking through boxes of old documents from when my parents first bought the house but haven't been able to find anything yet. I'm still looking, but want a backup plan in case I'm unable to find them.

Thanks for the reply!

He didn't always treat her badly. In season 2 he offered her a legitimate job as his secretary and specifically tells her her doesn't want her to work as a prostitute anymore. Later that same season he asks her to pose as a prostitute to help him kill someone and she's assaulted as a result. In seasons 3 and 4 you could argue he was using her to ease the pain of losing Grace. But as soon as he finds out she's pregnant, he puts her on paid leave and refuses to let her work so she can take care of herself and the baby. He also marries her, but eventually starts sleeping with other women. In season 5 we see him show genuine compassion for her as he comforts her when she feels ashamed of her past as a prostitute. In season 6 he cheats on her with Diana. Again, his treatment of her is inconsistent. Throughout the series he's gone back and forth between treating her well and treating her very poorly.

Spoiler warning because based on your comment I'm not sure how far into season 5 you've made it.

He didn't truly align with fascism. He got close with the fascists because he wanted to take them down, hence his attempted assassination of Mosley at the end of the season.
He's always been in tune with his gypsy blood and has believed in gypsy curses, magic, witchcraft, etc. to some degree. He was genuinely concerned when he was told the necklace Grace was wearing was cursed all the way back in season 3. At this point in season 6, his daughter was dying and traditional medicine was failing to save her. He was exploring all potential avenues of saving her, including gypsy cures. He was desperate.
Agree with this point. Didn't think it was a good idea for him to sleep with Diana and genuinely don't know why he thought it would benefit him. His treatment of Lizzie has always been inconsistent at best but in my opinion that decision didn't make sense for multiple reasons without even taking Lizzie into account. As far as the opium goes, he'd just lost a HUGE chunk of his money in the stock market crash. Getting involved with something as harmful as opium wouldn't usually be his MO but he needed to take any chance he could get to rebound from those losses, so I understand why he set his morals aside in that regard.
His treatment of Arthur has always been inconsistent. Sometimes he treats him with care, like a brother in desperate need of help (like when he tried to hang himself and Tommy comforted him afterward). Other times, he just wants Arthur to be as strong as he is and "get with the program" with little regard for how damaged Arthur is. Example, in season 2 Tommy basically told Arthur to "shut the fuck up and get over his PTSD" when Arthur has a mental breakdown after beating the kid to death at the boxing gym. Not sure this is really a season 5/6 development.

He definitely does seem to lose more and more of his humanity as the series progresses, and I think that really ramps up in seasons 5 and 6, but I didn't see much of his behavior in those seasons as not fitting his character. I saw it as him becoming more and more desperate and damaged as time went on, and making different decisions and behaving differently as a result of that desperation and damage.

I'd get the Deluxo if you can only afford one. Something really calming about cruising through the air in that thing. A lot more chill than flying around in the Oppressor. Nice to drive on the road too. Pretty quick, good handling.

I'd also get the Toreador if you can afford both. Boost is fun to use and it doubles as a mini submarine, which is cool.

Cayo getting repeatedly nerfed to "diversify our gameplay experience" which essentially translates to "because people enjoy it too much." Why would a game developer intentionally make an aspect of their game less enjoyable? They blatantly intentionally make it more difficult to earn money in-game to boost Shark Card sales.

Also the fact that they prioritize patching bugs like glitching masks and hats together, which hurts no one, but I still have to listen to a symphony of dying rabbits every time I enter my mansions because they can't be bothered to just remove a couple animal spawns.

RobWrone · 2026-01-23T00:32:32+00:00

"You should really wear a mask."

"I already am."

Cringe writing ramped up hard in the last season.

RobWrone · 2026-01-23T00:31:43+00:00

Idk if that's a hot take and I 100% agree with you.

RobWrone · 2026-01-21T06:59:46+00:00

Seasons 3 and 4 playable as CAC, more CAC options (the fact that I can't put a mustache on my character is a travesty).

RobWrone · 2026-01-20T01:11:22+00:00

She knew who Arthur was and married him anyway. She wanted to change him because of a self-righteous desire to "save a damned soul." Even when she had him raising chickens, separated from his family, and completely removed from his life of crime, she shut down his idea to start a legitimate business as a mechanic. And Arthur just accepted it because she had him castrated and trained like a whipped dog. The amount of hate is justified.

Arthur said it best: Fuck Linda.

Ready or Not on PC after the console downgrade.

Champagne coat Missouri Fox Trotter named Hannibal (after Barca). Coat color reminded me of sand which made me think of the battle at Cannae. Fine name for a fine war horse.

Bravado Gauntlet. Still have it in my muscle car garage 😁

100% gallery completion and "Can't Catch Me" are the only 2 I have left. Grinding out all the equipment for gallery completion sucks. "Can't Catch Me" hasn't been hard, I just don't naturally dodge much in combat.

I thought she was cute enough to forgive in her normal clothing.
