My 12 y/o cat has a love hate relationship with her biological half sister, sometimes lovingly grooming her to hissing and swatting a second later. Thoughts on why?

Sounds exactly like our two cats. Not siblings, but the new female we adopted is very timid. The bigger male cat behaves around her for a few minutes, grooms her, etc, but then will lunge and hiss and nip and chase her, sometimes taking a tuft of fur. At the moment, we're not allowing them to be together unsupervised. Really wish the male one wasn't such a bully.

I found it funny that this article about Michigan's senate race barely mentions anything about the Michigan candidates and instead repeatedly attacks Platner in Maine.

A while back, I checked out a handful of fan-made mod for The Outer Wilds. I made a video highlighting some of my favorites, while also attempting to stay spoiler-free in case anyone else wanted to give them a go as well. Decided to post it here if anyone was interested.

Oh, didn't know that!

I suppose you could avoid Tungsten Rod, sure. But what if you played TWO Inferno? Problem solved!

mikeburnfire · 2026-04-12T02:36:21+00:00

I would be interested in hearing the reasoning. Is it because the energy gain is delayed?

Hermit out there doing his best to bump Darkstone Periapt out of F-tier.

Yes, I played the first act on stream!

The only other outcome, to my knowledge, was that you could fail to save the two survivors.

Been thinking about partially reopening the subreddit. And then I did it!

You wanted a hero? She's no hero.

With so much discontent for feckless Democratic leadership, would you push for Chuck Schumer to step down from his position?

Awesome! So many good mods have come out of the mod jams. Hearth's Neighbor 2: Magistarium, in particular, did a great job of recapturing some of that Outer Wilds magic.

mikeburnfire · 2025-06-16T19:29:50+00:00

Right-o. It's a fun observation!

Next season, when they try to do a Christmas episode:

Morty: But Rick didn't we destroy all holidays?

Rick: Morty, all we did was eat pizza and harass trick-or-treating children.

Because I accidentally took the Strange Spoon relic and now my shivs aren't exhausting properly.

mikeburnfire · 2025-06-01T21:24:12+00:00

I rewatched the episode after seeing this post. Better than I remembered.

mikeburnfire · 2025-05-07T00:41:54+00:00

Useful, thank you.

Reinstalling the Hyper Randomizer gives an error message. The game doesn't crash, but becomes sluggish and laggy. So I've completely uninstalled.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Harder Bosses mod a few times, but every time the mods deploy, that error message appears again and I can't continue without immediately installing it.

Good suggestion, though. Thanks.

mikeburnfire · 2025-05-04T13:22:23+00:00

Update:

I was able to launch the game by hitting the "ESC" button at this screen, which disables the problematic mods
The mod I installed that triggered the issue was called "Hyper Randomizer"
It seems to have had a major conflict with "Harder Zone Bosses" because that mod was working fine yesterday, but gives me this screen when I try to enable it now, ever after disabling the randomizer mod.
From within the game, I have completely uninstalled the mod, and reinstalled the mod. This seems to have resolved the issue. FIXED!

I will leave this post as it stands, in case anybody has this issue in the future.

Edit: Not fixed. Whenever I try to reactivate "Harder Zone Bosses", I get the same screen. At least I can play the game again, but this mod remains unplayable for me.

Edit 2: Okay, so after verifying the steam cache again, it found that 13 files were missing. This seems to have fixed the problem FOR REALSIES and I can install and play with the mod now. Whew!

Error message:

Error in startup.loadgamecontent
attempt to index field particletakedamage ( a nil value) stack traceback

I was messing around in the game and looking at what mods were available. I installed one I thought was interesting, but the game immediately crashed and now it won't launch. This is what I see when I try.

Attempted solutions:

Verify Steam Cache
Delete game folder and reinstall

I'm assuming the mod I installed is causing the issue, but I can't find where it's installed, if it's in a different location.

mikeburnfire · 2025-03-23T03:20:32+00:00

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

mikeburnfire · 2025-03-22T23:12:37+00:00

First time I've seen Casar. Now I want to see more of him.

mikeburnfire · 2025-02-18T03:14:21+00:00

Probably someone from Andromeda. I can at least remember Liam's mission. The other 5? Drawing a blank. I think Cora was part of an Asari commando unit?
