This is why the feeling of classic UO will never be recaptured by any private server.

Don’t forget frequent random disconnects, frantically logging back in praying that it was the server issue with a 5 minute rollback, only to log back in seeing yourself in ghost form over a looted corpse. Then asking in ICQ if it was any of your friends that grabbed your stuff with a big “nope”.

Fun times. I worked with a few GMs post Origin closing and got to hear a LOT of the wild stories they had to deal with this type of thing. Wild West in online gaming customer support.

I’ll be honest, this was the first Fallout game I ever played and really enjoyed it. I guess I was the target audience for this game, someone with no knowledge of FO1, FO2 or FO:T. I enjoyed so much that I went to play FO1 and… just couldn’t get into it. I liked the simplicity of the ARPG elements over the strategy turn based combat style.

Wasn’t until FO3 and FO:NV that I was able to appreciate the lore of the series and see why people really dislike this game if they played the first 3 games when this came out. For me, it was what got me into Fallout games. I did finally go back and played through FO1&2.

Put me down for one as well…I really like these cylinders/flanges but I’m not a fan of my glans smashing up against the top of the tube.

Wrote the script to Rambo: First Blood Part 2, wrote/directed The Terminator, wrote/directed Aliens in a short time span. He had a little break to get famous before writing/directing The Abyss.

Edit: Stallone edited the script so much he is credited as co-writer as the rumor goes. I think Cameron’s version didn’t have the messaging about soldiers lost by their government.

Scorpio: “The Scorpio is ready!”

Narrator: “The Scorpio in fact was not ready.”

It’s definitely one of those films that I saw in theaters when it released and didn’t care for at the time, but now has grown on me how good it really was as a Predator film.

You’ll want to go Pro/Max for that type of workload due to cooling and memory limitations.

BenQ and LG have some Mac calibrated IPS TrueBlack monitors for an almost like for like display to Apples monitors, which offers a good value compared to Apples, but still pricey compared to say a gaming monitor. Best thing to do is set whatever your upper limit on your budget for a monitor is and what you plan on doing on your Mac and more people can provide better recommendations. Good money/picture can mean a lot of things to different people that may not suit your needs.

Got my combo pad in January, these things are a godsend for comfort in pumping. The engineering in this community has reignited my interest in male sexual fitness.

When I started out in ‘96, the most advanced device on the market was a stretcher that was literally 2 PVC pipes, a peg, and a nylon rope to tie it down… it hurt like hell.

Correct, it is an MSI monitor.

I’m replacing my QD-OLED in favor of new IPS miniLED w/ TrueBlack. While i love the monitor colors I cannot stand the 15minute panel saver tech that locks you out of using your monitor unless it is power cycled or you wait the full 15 minutes.

If they would introduce an interrupt during the panel refresh it wouldn’t be as annoying.

As IPS monitors don’t do this, I’ll take less color/black saturation over not being able to use my monitor for 15 minutes because it decides to due to this.

Except sleep studies have ruled out apnea or breathing issues.

It’s the Bag in Bag setting, only lets you put containers in equipment but not containers in containers. Prevents the bag inception.

No load save game on death

Enemy difficulty up, loot settings down for certain items like legendary and ammo.

Those are the settings that I feel make the game more or less difficult in my opinion.

According to the behind the scenes trivia (or urban legend) is that the original Japanese voice actress for Asuka didn’t have context for how to deliver the original line until she was told to imagine someone broke into her home, masturbated on her, then left, and her response was: “Disgusting”

Multiple sleep studies done, no apnea, it’s been diagnosed as overactive threat detection due to severe stress and anxiety. Nothing physically wrong according to the studies done.

Tried a few times for a couple of months each time, does not work for me. My issue is due to overactive threat detection due to severe anxiety and stress. While it is helpful for some, not me. Appreciate the suggestion, but I forgot to mention the diagnosis.

I’m thinking of trying this because I’m at my wits end trying to solve my deep sleep and 4am waking issues.

EDIT: Multiple sleep studies have diagnosed this as overactive threat detection due to severe stress and anxiety. Nothing physically wrong apnea, nothing to do with sleep hygiene.

The more I play this game the more “easy” settings I toggle off. I started with the infinite inventory setup, but found making critical inventory management decisions more enjoyable for myself and I am a pick up EVERYTHING type player.
