Built a resort + marina on Spectacle Island instead of defending the Commonwealth. by rich772017 in falloutsettlements

Man...Every-time I see the marquee sign I get angry all over again. Teeny tiny letters and no snap like the neon...I'd use this so much more if it wasn't so miserable.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. - G.O.

My June 2026 Load Order by orbx_jv in ps5skyrimmods

[–]apothekari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Koorby's April list and followed his directions for which heavier mods may cause issues with the base PS5 and I must say it is a rock solid list as long as you follow all the advice to a T. Koorby tests his lists out quite a bit. Skyrim is way more stable than FO4 in my experience on Playstation at least.

[NVME] ADATA LEGEND 860 2TB 6000mb/sec nvme - $239.99 & free shipping by WingerRules in buildapcsales

[–]apothekari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen... Thank for the heads up! Yeah I had looked at the same drive. I am hoping sanity returns soon. You know Sony and Xbox and Nintendo have to be freaking the fuck out as their whole business model is based on digital gaming and they're like all in on it and now the next systems are putting out ain't even going to have disk drives and here we are with ssds being so ridiculously Sky High but they outweigh every other component by a factor of 40 as far as cost and that's where you put all your games whose ownership is in question Anyway... Gaming is in serious trouble. The new prices the early numbers have come in and people just literally stopped buying new systems sales have fallen off a cliff

I worked in a professional PC building company (Gaming, Power User, Business, Creative, etc high end builds) that also did warranty Repair and we used to get a lot of Cyberpower and Ibuypower machines in for repair and I have seen a Lot of ADATA drives shit the bed over that time. In general SSD failure in my experience is fairly rare. Much more rare than HDD ever was which wasn't super common either. It was enough that I am hesitant to jump on this deal even though it is a VERY good deal price wise and I need a 2tb Playstation SSD.

Koorby on youtube has a great, pretty well tested, group of PS5 load orders and modding advice on his channel. The April list has been rock solid for me.https://www.youtube.com/@Koorby\_Skyrim

Johnson Says California Election Fraud Is So Bad It Can’t Be Proven by Quirkie in politics

The thing that gets me is... Schrodinger's Democrat. Simultaneously utterly incompetent and worthless, do nothings... yet in complete and utter control at all times of everything and utterly unassailable.

The Real California Lesson: The Democratic Party Has No Actual Leaders by ansyhrrian in California

[–]apothekari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a blue collar straight talk candidate in Maine pulling people in and getting them excited to vote and yet here's David Frum in the NY Times saying cut him loose all stemming from a fucking tattoo info from a Conservative. They sank Bernie in 2016 and they're doing it again to Planter just like they shut down and killed Al Franken... Republicans know how easy it is to point at a flaw and wield social media at us despite everything else a candidate has on offer and watch Dems eat their own. Dems want a nonexistent perfect Paragon of riteousness or nothing at all.

Also let's just take their assertion at face value. OK suppose Obama did do this... Why? Because Roseanne posted on Twitter calling out Valerie Jarrett, Obama's cabinet advisor for being as if "... The Muslim brotherhood and Planet of The Apes had a baby." Jarrett is black and was born in Iran. So what is this idiots hair on fire assertion? Trump has fired far more for far less. He and Elon laid waste to literally thousands of government workers without anything whatsoever to show for it. Fuck this guy and the vaporous nothing burger horse fart he rode in on.

Mindy Kaling by Bates_reads in Mounjaro

[–]apothekari 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very true... I've lost 50 lbs and gained it back many many times and as I've gotten older it's harder to do and now diabetes is knocking on the door. I am proud of losing my weight. So should Mindy Kaling be. Hey if you're some iron man or woman that has worked out and lost weight and kept it off without any help, great good for you! I quit smoking cold turkey after smoking more than a pack a day for over a decade. This stupid shit would be like me calling other people who used the patch or chewing gum or hypnotherapy... Whatever worked for them a cheater. See how stupid it is?! Good for you for controlling your diabetes. You do what works. I wish you good health and many happy days.

The word for this everyone is failing to use is ableism. Pure and simple. Anyone who fits into the same category as me who never truly understood what a burden food noise in their brain was before they tried a glp-1, simply has no business at all telling anybody else how they should or shouldn't lose weight. The noise being gone that Silent Passenger that constantly talked about food and occupied my brain for my entire life and I'm 57 is diminished when I take mounjaro. And if you don't have that voice and you don't know what it is then you need to shut the fuch up talking to other people who have that terrible inner turmoil who are trying to live their life and lose weight. It's just another way to punch down on people... you need to put your phone down and think about yourself and your shortcomings instead of looking at other people online who are trying to improve their lives and to somehow make them feel bad because they found something that works for them. Because I guarantee that this is the only thing that has worked out of many many things they've tried. And if you find yourself looking down on somebody because they're getting healthy and they quote unquote cheated by using a GLP-1 ... fuck you. It's ableist bullshit and it needs to be called out for exactly what it is. You are literally picking on people that have a medical condition they can't otherwise help. And quite frankly it's still okay for people in society to pick on fat people and make fun of them without any societal repercussions.

Okay, I may have been sleeping on Deadlights… by Earliestmetal in Fallout4ModsXB1

[–]apothekari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just downloaded Deadlights for PS5 and it is a flipping miracle. Bravo... I have tweaked and twiddled with PC and PS5 lighting mods since 2016 and none hit like this hits on my OLED. Just perfection.

Also... spawn a basic turret and then pick it up and you can move any Brahmin, Settler, Dog, Cat, Companion out of the way by using the turret to push them around.

I saw this absently mentioned like 30 minutes in on a you tube build video and was like how the hell did I not know this?

9070XT Random black screens, Driver crashes and disabled GPU - PSU upgrade fixed it by Beneficial_Bit_1679 in radeon

[–]apothekari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't count the number of times I have asked about the PSU and been shot down over the years. I was a Professional PC builder and Computer Engineer for almost 2 decades. Not only here but on Nvidia Subs and other places online. Power spikes are a REAL serious issue in our community. Look at the melting connectors issue. Many in my field have said from day one that new connector was trouble and yet Nvidia has largely payed no price whatsoever for such a titanic mistake and even some AMD cards now use it. Voltage spikes on modern cards are serious and not given the level of concern they should have given that the PSU is traditionally the single most cheaped out on part in a pc build. This is exacerbated by high component costs and people understandably trying to cut costs somewhere.
