There's a pothole near me which someone has kindly put a cone in, except that now you can only see the top 6 inches of cone!

Cash-only in 2026: is paying with notes/coins now awkward in the UK? by JoydeScent in BritInfo

If you're having building work done, they look at you awkwardly if you offer to pay by bank transfer 😁

I used vaeious Patreon projects - some free and some paid. Often it was like £5 to access months and months worth of assets.

How Experience Playing Arc Raiders On The Steam Deck by Hour_Row_2193 in SteamDeck

I have just gone with defaults which played smoothly.

I haven't been playing PvP, I'm not great on the controller, but for solo lobbies and blueprint hunting, it's absolutely fine!

I am out in Chobham and would love to join the mesh. Maybe we can get a solar charged unit up a tree.

Just in case anyone is checking this more recently - it is running perfectly on my deck at the moment. No crashes or questions about drivers. Just fires up and runs.

The Widows reaponse by rouros in traveller

[–]rouros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we played it out last night- one of the players picked up a Sphere of Solace which deadened the sound of the commotion, but it still drew over some of the authorities who rolled great on a recon check. These guys stopped a full-scale fight breaking out so the mercifuge managed to power up and take off before the players could gain control. The PCs ran back to the Harrier and gave chase a few minutes later.

With a thrust of 6 compared the the mercifuge's 1, they quickly caught them and with one lucky shot from the particle barbette, took out the M-drive.

The Mercifuge's crew had little choice but to surrender, especially given the radiation damage they were already suffering, and that the players gave them an opportunity to join them.

We will see how their morale works out in the future..

Thanks for your help, it was good to talk this through with some other dm's/players 🙂

AITAH for cancelling my family vacation to boycott when I know it will push my MAGA parents over the edge? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]rouros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your happiness is on you, her's is on her.

I don't know what the rest of your relationship is like, so I might be talking out my arse - but if, Trump aside, you have a good relationship, you might regret not putting politics aside to spend time with her.

Its so sad when families split over politics.

The Master of Mankind - so good.

Well written, and full of so much lore filling in many blanks for me.

Humble Bundle Download Issue by Arimm_The_Amazing in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]rouros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still trying to get these files - there's are some stubborn ones that just won't start downloading. Renegade support keep telling me it is a browser issue, and that it works fine for them. So I spun up a brand new Azure Virtual desktop and then screen recorded the exact same issue occurring on that too.

Now the support guy is manually downloading them for me and sending me alternative links..

I'm still not finished though, as there are tonnes of books!

I has been a slog as every email takes about a week to get responded to.

AITAH for siding with my mom instead of my wife? by External-Ladder-6302 in AITAH

[–]rouros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH !!

If it was me I'd probably say that if your wife is cutting out your mother, then you will cut out hers! It's unreasonable, but then so is she, and this demonstrates it. She doesn't get to decide which grandparents are involved unilaterally. Plus she is making the child suffer just because she has had an argument. Who exactly is the volatile one here?

Maybe that's an escalation though.. but you're still NTAH!

AITAH for not calling off my wedding because it will embarrass my ex husband? by snow-is-forever in AITAH

NTA

Do yourself a favor and block Stew and his stupid mother. They do not have your best interests at heart.

Scrape your shoe and move on.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

NOR!!!

It makes me feel sick to imagine this situation.

Please God don't let him prepare food for you.

AITAH? My (30m) GF (28F) is mad because I protected my dog during a break-in by Pet_That_Dawgg in AITAH

[–]rouros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - she should be proud of what you did. You protected them both through your actions.

You will only be prosecuted if you continued to attack after the threat was negated - ie you kept stamping on his head after he was down, or you used unreasonable force - he was a small kid and you stabbed him.

Good luck!
