And none of it will block UV.

Have a lot more practice with my gun.

If it was mandatory for every person to have firearm training, and carry a firearm with them at all times in public?

"I hate Mondays." - Everyone that has a 'normal' work week.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeche_City

The first paragraph has "Campeche" in it 4 times, and only one of those is referring to the city itself. It also used to be a (now completely destroyed) Mayan city called "Can Pech".

Hazy.

Bigotry.

Head banging fixes everything...

Spoilered for being kinda gruesome. AKA: It's not helping my already 'I-need-to-throw-up' state.

The Mummy

I even managed to sunburn the top of my head. How is that even possible with the mop that's been residing up there this past decade?

Hair doesn't block UV very much.

I walked into a giant glass door this morning. Now my head hurts... And I feel sooo out of it. How is it even possible to shed skin and flesh from walking into a door anyway? Possible for me apparently...

EDIT: Feels like my frontal lobe is on fire. That's nice. At least it's warm so...

Get better soon.

Welcome to Windows 10!"

That should be a mandatory bumper sticker for some drivers... You know the ones I'm talking about.

You know that initial startup 'greeting' screen in W10? It's warning you the you're using the worst Windows since BOB.

Belated thanks, and happy b-day to all others!

The Fallout 4 Creation Kit is now available... To get it you have to use the Bethesda.net Launcher though.

[EDIT] Unfortunately, I am having trouble figuring out where they're putting anything but the base versions of weapons/armor. (I wanted to make my .308 battle rifle, and impact-adaptive nanogel armor)

Feeling very down about having to move that Starling nest I posted a video about...

I might end up making one of them a pet if they make it...

Please rename that video. XD I thought you were cooking a nest of eggs in your grill.

Done. Better?

I've literally seen only a few women outside of my own mother IRL and my work field isn't known for it's gender diversity either. I don't know, maybe it's just my environment but women seem to be rarer then unicorns over here.

That's what socializing outside of work is for... Go to places that people with personalities you like go to, and see if you can find any of the opposite sex there. Then get progressively less picky until you are looking only for those traits you are incapable of compromising on. (for me, religion, being single, and being genetically + physically female are the only non-negotiables)

Find the traits you would want in a mate, and start looking for that person. (it may take a while, I haven't come across one in 11 years of searching)

Except I am educated on the subject, and had A WORKING MODEL... I would think someone far enough along to have a functioning prototype should get the grants before someone who doesn't even think it's possible to do.

You could always try to sell it to the military. They tend to be less skeptical about speculative technology. I mean, from what I've seen, they'll buy just about anything demonstrable, and they have the money to burn.

Actually, they were the first ones I approached, but was denied... Turns out they had a contract for research into something similar already, and weren't willing to put money into another contract for what the budget committee would see as the same thing. (despite having a working model) The next month the other guy said that my working model was impossible, (after the budget was cut yet again) and moved on to another project, and my prototype wasn't enough to get anyone anywhere to seriously consider me. (no one has ever even looked at my device) The guy had a PHD in chemistry, (not quantum physics, which was what I was dealing with) and that made everyone think he was smarter than me. He convinced everyone that I was just another 'perpetual motion' crackpot.

In short, if some idiot with a PHD in any field says it's impossible and had government funding to 'research' it, you're SOL for any funding anywhere to develop any functioning version of the same technology. (unless you're at the very top of your scientific field, and have more PHDs than the other guy)

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

I really wish they had done more like this, as it's one of the few third person shooters I actually like. Never did understand the hate for it... Yes it has flaws, but that aren't that bad.

Farcry 2.

This had so much more to it than 1 or 3, and why there was so much hate when 3 got so much praise I will never understand.

____________________________________________________________________________________

H.A.W.X.

It may be unrealistic in many ways, but it is an extremely fun game.

Brink.

It was fun, despite having literally no one playing it in the way it's supposed to... Multiplayer.

Command & Conquer 4.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think it should ever have been billed as a direct sequel to C&C3, but it is a good game on its own. (it should've been a 'spinoff' like Renegade was)

I never did see the appeal of the FF series. It just comes across as bland gameplay, and overcompensation for something...

OT: Star Trek Online.

Just seems like iteration instead of innovation... I still have yet to see the level of capability we had for Civ 2 and Civ 4. (apart from the graphics being prettier)

I didn't even realize there were no membership limits for Outfits... That was kinda why I made the Accursed Farms outfit, so that we wouldn't be cluttering other outfits.

I thought Human Revolution did the setting infinitely better.

It did... But then again, it had much better technology backing the game, and serious research into what the future is likely to become in the next few decades.

Hmmm... Favorite game settings...

Space Pirates and Zombies: A far future where an alien hivemind zombiefication fungus is the primary resource for all intergalactic travel.

XCOM 2: Aliens conquered the Earth, you are a resistance fighter, do whatever you want. Dystopian semi-alien future Earth.

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force: It's FPS Star Trek, and you have no backup. If only it had more customizations...

Vanilla World of Warcraft: I always did love looking out over the scenery in that game. So many different terrains, so many things to do.

H.A.W.X.: The world is disbanding all their conventional military forces in favor of PMCs as a cost-cutting measure. (sounds like something the Dems would do) You get to see a lot of near-future areas of the world from the air.

Brink: Post-apocalyptic Waterworldesque island city.

Just Cause 2: There are consequences for blowing up a military base, and killing a few thousand people? Why have I never heard of this before? (and the scenery is nice too)

Lost Planet: I just like the idea of an extremely cold planet with a human colony on it.

Red Faction Guerilla: It may be barren, but it's got some nice scenery.

Shadowrun: Magic returned to humanity in 2012, and this is 60 years later. High technology, and magic... Who wouldn't find this intriguing?

As nice as it may be to have a lot of those areas, the fact is that almost every Fallout game states that Europe was almost entirely devoid of all resources, (how can you build a gun to fight mutants when you haven't had food for 200 years?) and China is effectively covered by terrain reminiscent of the Glowing Sea. (including the radiation) This results in a narrowed selection of locations for future Fallout games that don't effectively say 'f*** you!' to all the rest of the games.

It's not just 'lore', but every single one of the games you would have to throw out the window in order to have those locations be habitable.
