Yeah but at least you’re…well, other spoilers that I won’t put on here because that game is fucking incredible and best experienced without knowing anything about it.

Forza Horizon 6. I’m…absurdly wealthy and have multiple homes and like 260 cars, several of which are worth millions of dollars. Oh and I’m a KICKASS driver who can somehow rewind time when he fucks up.
AND I’M IN JAPAN.
Life is good.

I assume that’s what the webcam is for, to ensure proper remote detonation. I just hope it has good night vision.

I think the cheap webcam is for the operator to decide whether to detonate the claymore. The lidar sensor is in front of the webcam.

I would expect it to be a bit higher than 100° what with all the non-water stuff in there.

The guy doesn’t have a son. It’s the daughter’s boyfriend. If the OP says, “Why does your son keep forgetting his keys?” the guy will say, “I don’t have a son” and OP can then say, “Oh, then who keeps going in through <specify window>” and now the boyfriend is cooked.

I am a little sad everyone took you so seriously. I assumed you were joking around. Made me chuckle.

AssCreed3 suffered from the setting. There aren’t enough big cities and beautiful buildings in revolutionary war America. You spend too much time in trees.
Black Flag would’ve had a similar problem except you spend lots of time on the ship, so running around the cities doesn’t matter as much.

Seriously though if you aren’t putting your cart in this specific spot or the corral, what is wrong with you? It’s not that much further to walk. Don’t make more work for the person who brings the carts back inside, it’s just inconsiderate. Plus those things have been known to pick up speed in the wind and smash into stuff. You might not give a shit about your own car, but some people do.
Just be considerate, life is better when we work together.

I just finished the story for Black Flag Resynced on Sunday and I was thinking I ought to dig up my copies of the old games and play through them. I remember really enjoying the Ezio saga.

- Comment on Friends. 2 weeks ago:
I liked Friends. It hasn’t aged particularly well, it’s not without its flaws, but it was popular for a reason.
More importantly, its success meant NBC continued to invest heavily in comedies, which gave us a golden age of much better shows. A golden age that eventually included Scrubs, 30 Rock, The Office, My Name is Earl, Parks and Rec, Community, etc.

Fcuk remasters reboots remakes, that’s all scam.
Sometimes. This month however we’ve gotten two pretty good examples of how to redo a game.
1: Black Flag Resynced, despite Ubisoft being as shitty a company as they come, is excellent. Mostly the same gameplay, new graphics, new story content, new worthwhile side missions. I’m really enjoying it.
2: Halo: Campaign Evolved, is also really well done. They moved to Unreal Engine but the game still very much feels like Halo. They’ve included some mechanical upgrades from modern FPSs, including aiming down sights for guns without scopes, sprinting, and the ability to steal vehicles while the enemy is driving them. They also overhauled some of the missions, because level design has come a long way since 2001. So The Library, for example, is no longer as repetitive as before. It’s still a meat grinder of shotgunning Flood, but it’s more varied in encounter and room design. A friend and I are playing through on Legendary and it’s been exactly the right kind of frustrating (for us) to make a game fun when you succeed.

their end goal is 100% to restrict use to their filament only.
I’ll be shocked if that ends up happening. The RFID tags are a convenience, but their software includes profiles for major filament manufacturers.
Don’t get me wrong, the closed-off stuff is frustrating. But they’d have to be complete idiots to limit to their own materials. It has killed other 3D printing companies and they’d be no different. They’re assholes, but they’re far from stupid.
They do track the use of given so spool, by the way, but not by individual tag. Instead, when you load up a spool into the AMS they feed it all the way through to the nozzle and then retract it. During this they track how often the tag passes the RFID reader, which tells it how full the spool is since the circumference gets smaller as the spool empties.
But if you put the tag on a refill from another brand, like I do, it goes back to detecting a full spool. I’ve found that Polyterra works just fine with the Bambu Matte settings, so I order Polymaker’s refill spools. Using the tag means it loads up the color cards data for me, which is convenient.

No More Mages is a very short (for now) but also very inexpensive (for now) beat-em-up platformer in early access that was made by a fellow lemming. He made it known to me in a comment a few months back, I picked it up, finished it quickly, but definitely felt it had been worth tossing a couple of dollars at a fellow Fediverse user for! I’m looking forward to what happens with it in the future.

He picked his side
Real talk, I suspect most of us, had we been born in the South in the 1840s or early 1850s, would fight for the Confederacy. We are products of our environment, upbringing, and experiences after all. There were abolitionists in the South, but they were few and far between. And as much as the war was actually about the institution of slavery, to the average southerner it was about freedom and state’s rights and shit because that’s what they knew and were told. People were loyal to their state before they were loyal to their country because they didn’t have much knowledge of the world beyond their towns.
What’s more, conscription meant that even men who didn’t want anything to do with the war were fighting in it. In a particularly bitter bit of irony, if you owned twenty or more slaves you were exempt from being conscripted to go fight for slavery.
I will say firmly that the cause of the Confederacy was evil, but I can’t find much more than pity for the average schmuck fighting for it.
