Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
  • Dishonored 2 and Blood: Fresh Supply

  • The first new Shiren The Wanderer game in 14 years is headed to PC
  • Yup you can have multiple admins for an instance.

  • The first new Shiren The Wanderer game in 14 years is headed to PC
  • On the instance. The equivalent for a community is a moderator.

  • The first new Shiren The Wanderer game in 14 years is headed to PC
  • Great games if you're a fan of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or masochism

  • Can we just talk about how Speak No Evil was one of the highest rated yet worst movies we've ever seen?
  • It's so incredibly heavy-handed with its plot devices to the point that it feels like its genuinely doing it for "engagement" like you said. I enjoyed the acting by the host couple and could definitely see a good movie in there if it wasn't for the 2 protagonists' grating personalities and the combination of tropey and non-sensical descision making.

  • Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam sung about raping Arab women
  • It's documented on the Israeli football team's fan wiki and is from as far back as 2015:

  • For those who work at night... Do you have any problems to falling asleep and waking well rested during the day?
  • Blackout curtains help a lot from my experience. I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep to begin with and those make a big difference with or without an offset sleep schedule.

    Melatonin can also help with sleep duration/quality but its also easy to become dependent on it to fall asleep so not ideal for long term.

  • Too soon?
  • Do you think I'm happy that Trump won or something? Good to see that the fake concern is gone now as Americans blame the very same people they are bombing for their own willingness to sacrifice them for the what they perceive to be the greater good.

  • Too soon?
  • Go find your scapegoat and avoid self-reflection until next election cycle then.

  • Too soon?
  • I'm not American. My family is at risk of being bombed by your country. The party you've avoided holding to account due to fear of a Trump victory is the one facilitating the bombing. It should have never gotten to this point but every time someone like you would say "but Trump is worse" to justify supporting the Democratic party NO MATTER WHAT it emboldened them to make the non-permissible permissible.

  • Too soon?
  • The blood is on your hands and anyone who made excuses for the Democratic party instead of demands for an entire year. Make no mistake.

  • Why do different ethnicities/races look different?
  • I think the impact of wealth and access to nutrition and an environment that does not stunt development plays a major role here as well. A good example of this is height in Europe post-industrial revolution and improvements in medicine:

    Most notable being a 20cm increase in the Netherlands in just over 100 years as well as changes in places that industrialised quickly like China:

    Not to say that geography plays no role but it's closer to 10cm gap than a 30cm one.

  • Arabic text on AOC campaign flyers is disconnected, printed backwards
  • It is arabic but disjointed and written from left to right instead of right to left

  • Iran says it has right to defend itself after Israeli strike kills soldiers
  • Incredible how Israel poofs into existence in your framing. I hope you one day see the humanity of others. Goodbye.

  • Iran says it has right to defend itself after Israeli strike kills soldiers
  • Israel should stop occupying territory in violation of dozens of international resolutions and blocking the establishment of a Palestinian state. Belligerent occupiers are in no position to be "provoked" by those who they are occupying. How many wars do the Palestinians get to wage because of the nakba (or countless other massacres) and subsequent colonization of remaining territory?

  • Iran says it has right to defend itself after Israeli strike kills soldiers
  • Into Lebanese (some consider it Syrian, doesn't change the dynamic) occupied territory before and after Oct 7th. Gradual escalation (with 80% of those attacks coming from Israeli side) expanded the scale of the northern/southern front to what we see today. Israel has killed 2 orders of magnitude more civilians than Hezballah has and has sought escalation at every stage.

    Before Oct 7th, they would exchange fire in occupied Lebanese land and tensions would rise then fizzle out about once a month.

  • Israel says it's conducting 'precise strikes on military targets' in Iran
  • Different statements were made in the past month:

    Iran's General Staff of the Armed Forces said in a statement carried by state media that any Israeli response would be met with "vast destruction" of Israeli infrastructure.

    I believe the Iranian ambassador said something of the same vein at the UN security council meeting as well. Either way I still agree that they likely wont respond to this type of limited strike as things currently stand.

  • Israel says it's conducting 'precise strikes on military targets' in Iran
  • I don't think they said they would not retaliate against a limited attack though that might end up being the case depending on the nature and scale of the damages.

    How to fast travel to Crawmerax, Armory and Ajax in Borderlands 1 on PC

    NOTE: Please backup your saves before attempting any of this as it involves modding your game files and that always poses a risk of data loss if things go wrong. Also, there may be some differences between original and remaster that I'll mention.

    So the Knoxx DLC is notorious for being a driving simulator and BL1 DLC not having any fast travel stations except for the starting areas makes farming very tedious. Fortunately, there are ways around that on PC:

    The "simple" way for Crawmerax and the Crimson Lance Armory

    • Download the Essentials Mod by LegX

    Remaster/Enhanced version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlandsgotyenhanced/mods/7

    Original version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands/mods/34

    • Extract the WillowGame folder into your installation directory with the same existing folder: eg. a default Steam install should be in \Steam\steamapps\common\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\

    • Go to save data location eg. \Documents\My games\Borderlands Game of the Year\WillowGame\Config

    • Open WillowEngine.ini. Search for DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals.General.Globals

    • Replace it with DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals_custom.General.Globals

    • Launch game

    • Open Pause menu -> Options -> Mouse and Keyboard -> Keybindings -> Bind Fast travel to Craw/Knoxx Armory to whatever button

    !

    Notes: If you travel with the bind and are done with the area make sure you save quit instead of just traveling to it again as that will not save your current progress\

    Also binding Fast Travel UI lets you fast travel from anywhere which is a big QoL improvement.

    The manual way for Ajax (and Craw/Knoxx if needed)

    • Go to \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps

    • Copy dlc3_gondola_p.umap

    • Go to \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\Maps\Arid

    • Paste dlc3_gondola_p.umap

    • Rename Arid_SkagGully_P.umap to something like Backup_Arid_SkagGully_P.umap for safekeeping

    • Rename dlc3_gondola_p.umap to Arid_SkagGully_P.umap

    • Launch game

    • Fast travel to Skag Gully

    • You should spawn within 1 minute of Ajax as shown here

    !

    • For Lance Armory and Crawmerax Repeat with dlc3_uberboss_p.umap for Crawmerax and dlc3_lancedepot_p.umap for Armory which can also in found in \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps

    Another map you can replace is 'Arid_Cave_P.umap' which corresponds to The Lost Cave. You can use any map as a replacement but those are just the ones I've used before.

    Note: the gondola file for Ajax may only work for the remaster or there may be a better one to use for the original if you search the large .umap files for yourself and try each one you might be able to find one that spawns you right in front of his area in the original version of BL1

    "Value" midrange GPU options

    I've been looking at the current state of the GPU market since my RX 580 4GB is gonna be faced with 1440p soon and, while prices are still pretty bad, there's a few value options.

    This was to suit my own preference but I thought it might be useful for others with similar needs. No preference towards Nvidia and I only care about rasterization so not looking at extra functionality/features making the shortlist basically just the AMD 6000 series midrange.

    !

    The standouts being the RX 6650 being the best overall value at ~$290 if you're fine with 8GB of VRAM and 6750 XT (or 6700 XT) for 12GB at ~$420 (these needing a good sale to reach that price).

    The relative performance is from benchmarks at 1440p Ultra settings where 4090 performance is the baseline of 100% which should be representative of the average usecase for these (1440p and mostly not CPU bound).

    There's nothing that offers 12GB under $380 (3060 12GB sacrifices some performance for 2GB of VRAM over the RX 6700) which is a shame in my opinion as 8GB is slowly becoming obsolete and has a good chance of shortening an otherwise serviceable card's lifespan.

    I included the RX 7700 on there because there have been leaks about it and while they say it will be above 500USD, there's always the chance that AMD stops giving up free market share and puts it out at a reasonable price instead of slashing its price significantly 2 weeks after launch like it did with the higher end model recently. It makes sense for it to release around the release of Starfield (which they're giving away with their current GPUs) so might be worth holding out for that if nothing else comes up.

    Otherwise, a sale on the 6750 XT seems like the best choice if you're willing to spend $420+tax on a GPU in terms of longevity and performance at 1440p.
