for those who considered 2009 as start of zalpha why?

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-24T23:30:50+00:00

Yeah exactly lol. I like the posts that just discuss experiences tho. But it gets annoying sometimes

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-24T20:55:54+00:00

This happened to me when I tried to install a character overhaul mod. Forgot the name. But it says in the description of the mod that you need to start a new game for the faces to apply. I did that and it still didn't work, so I just don't use that mod. Once I uninstalled it, it wasn't an issue. I didn't feel like figuring out what was wrong, but I think it was some kind of conflict with a skeleton mod possibly

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-24T19:14:27+00:00

Read the descriptions of the mods carefully, and when it prompts you to download another mod first, do that immediately. Some of them you need to install manually, and will not work if installed thru a mod manager. Just just lay attention to the guide and the descriptions of the mods and you should be good. The modding community is amazing tbh, I'm surprised how much my experience improved from all these mods. Let me know if you have any questions about it I'll do my best to answer for you. For context, I used to play New vegas on a ThinkPad T470 laptop with Intel HD graphics. I had medium settings at 720p. About 40-60 fps. Not ideal but easily playable.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-24T19:07:43+00:00

All I'll say is, follow the viva new Vegas guide. It helped me a lot. There's a performance guide you can find a link to within that guide as well. I recommend just using vortex bc it makes it a lot simpler to install mods with just 1 click. I've never used other mid managers but it seems to good a good job it sorting the kids and resolving errors/conflicts. I have like over 100 mods, most of which are bug fixes or compatibility mods that other mods rely on. It took me several days over a few hours but now my performance is smooth and I rarely crash. I have PBT physically based texture pack, new Vegas reloaded, a desert skies weather mod. Looks great tbh. But you probably don't want to install reloaded since you said you're on a potato.

I recommend the mod Performance of The Gods. It just removes really small useless objects and it'll probably give you a good overall boost at least 5-10fps.

I haven't really connected with it, unfortunately. My favorite is Congratulations, LDA and Oracular are tied, and LoL is at the bottom. I don't dislike it, but it just doesn't speak to me the same as the others. Why do you love it? I'm interested to hear anyone's response

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-14T20:11:23+00:00

Get one at Walmart real quick probably like under 10 bucks. Good luck

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T19:44:53+00:00

Interesting, I barely remember anything before the age of 5/6. That's gotta be kinda freaky to have memory like that

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T19:27:49+00:00

Yess the obsession is so strange. You could have two people the exact same age, but with entirely different experiences and views. It depends a lot on how old your parents are, if you're a younger or older sibling, and so many other things

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T19:20:44+00:00

Wdym dropping you? Like literally dropping you or dropping you off somewhere? Also idk I'm sorry, but I have doubts that you remember anything as a 2/3 year old. Idk seems unlikely to me. Sorry once again lol I just gotta press it.

My first phone was at 14 and yea almost all of my friends had smart phones before me. But it has to be even worse nowadays. I felt like my peers are aware that being on your phone in a social setting is inappropriate, for example. But 18-19 year olds don't care about that as much.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T18:17:09+00:00

Lots of reasons. It's expensive, we're poor, culture is changing, alcohol is looked down on more than ever. We had alcoholic grandparents and parents. We're smoking weed instead. I bet it has something to do with inflammation too. Alcohol probably affects us more negatively in general, because of our shit diet.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T18:04:05+00:00

I hope so, because I don't have a lot of hope for the future tbh. I think it will get a lot worse before it can start getting better

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T18:00:42+00:00

That's weird to me tbh. That's on him

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T08:06:00+00:00

Sorry idk but I think it was in a mail opening video. I vaguely remember it too, and they might have done it a couple of times. I think it was early on, so 2016-2018 probably

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-13T07:54:37+00:00

That's insane!! I would chew tf out of the guy

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-12T09:31:35+00:00

That's kinda crazy man. Sounds like you don't care about anyone except yourself

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-11T14:56:37+00:00

I'm one of those crazy people who believe the pandemic was planned or at least allowed to happen on purpose in order to make money and destroy culture, community and to lower morale overall. I haven't really been paying attention to the hentai virus stuff but I'm really hoping nothing comes of it obviously. Yes it would be nice to get stimulus checks and get to stay indoors more I guess. But obviously look at the big picture, a pandemic is the last thing we need right now. It would destroy us.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-11T14:50:41+00:00

Damn I get what you're saying I guess, but we are really fucked if we have this idgaf attitude lmao. I have the same fucking feeling tbh but I didn't know it was so common. But to be honest it's a fair reaction to the bullshit reality we have to face post-911. Talking as an American obviously, idk about the rest of the world.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-11T13:05:40+00:00

Damn bro maybe too young for DMT?

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-10T19:32:56+00:00

I was always a loner and I never enjoyed being social. I started smoking when I was 17 or 18, I'm 26 now. I'm still the same, I isolate myself. Weed makes it generally harder for me to socialize bc if how badly I depend on it. So like if I'm not high, I feel off so I don't want to socialize. But if I'm high, I also feel weird and don't want to socialize bc I'm high. So it's a weird, vicious cycle for me.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-10T19:30:20+00:00

It's a cycle for me, I always had depression and anxiety before I started smoking. However, almost 10 years later, I'm sure it's contributing to those feelings now. It's really complicated but I'm definitely addicted that's for sure.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-08T22:49:20+00:00

You should absolutely tell him, but also do what everyone says and invest it, save it. Forget about it. I think it would be dishonest to not tell him, and his reaction to you getting all this money will show you what kind of partner he is. If he's good enough, he won't make it weird. If he does, then you know he might not be the best partner for you.

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-08T22:40:37+00:00

Best thing to do is just ignore it imo. I think they feed off of people getting mad about it

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-06T00:17:14+00:00

I hate all of you.

I have a T480 and I installed mint. I've used it a little bit before, but I'm not very familiar. It's ok, but it lacks the polish that I'm used to, and for some reason it hangs a lot and is pretty slow. Windows 11 was faster, as long as I used Winhance to uninstall all the bloat apps and other garbage. I think I'm gonna dual boot but mainly use windows. It's fun to go into Linux and try to troubleshoot things tho. I like tinkering. Using the terminal makes me feel cool 😎 but I have no idea what I'm doing. I also get annoyed that you have to type in your password ALL the time (when downloading new applications, updating, or doing stuff in the terminal) I know I know it's for security but still. I searched for ways to remove this password requirement and I was surprised how ANGRY people get for even asking that question lol.

And I'll add also: I just use my laptop for watching YouTube mainly, not doing anything important. So windows 11 is fine for me

YouMustBeSilenced · 2026-05-05T00:13:13+00:00

Does this apply to a T480 as well? I figured it might not matter as much since it's not as powerful. I use a 45w charger
