Ah yes... The AMD problems... From what I've seen and heard, it's the fault of the crappy AMD drivers, and not Bethesda. (which I can 100% believe, as I've never even heard of a truly professional driver coming from them)

What do you mean, "now"? I mean, they were kinda like this in every game but 3.

There's lore for that...

Power. (if you understand the reference, you get 1000 history and 200 superstition points, if you reponse-reference it right you get an additional 50k sci-fi points)

Neither, as they are totally pointless to me. Not saying they are pointless in general, as I can see where they have appeal for others, but they hold nothing for me. (similar to any other spectator sport, excluding D&D watching)

Candy or cookies?

Banned because it's not paranoia if they really are watching me.

Just Cause 3 doesn't really have anything to do with this thread Scott; you're just being paranoid.

Cookies. (making the dough at least, have enough for around 120 cookies right now)

I have one of each... I leave the full one tied loosely enough that I can slip my head through, and then use a safety pin to hold a fold of it together to cinch it down. I also loathe wearing any tie that has no function. (with a regular tie you can at least wipe your mouth or blow your nose, with a bolo tie you have a spare shoelace or garrote or tourniquet or etc., with a bowtie you have a silly-looking piece of cloth choking you)

Have you ever used the METAR/TAF weather reporting system? (I use it almost exclusively myself)

Twenty cows are swinging swords with imitation Belgian chocolate waffles outside your emulator.

Human. (in all the ways a person should be, but not in any other way)

I have never had any issues with bees, wasps, or hornets... They all have a very distinct body language.

For one, wasps will rapidly zip back and forth in front of your face (they will try to put themselves between the nest and you, but in your field of vision) if you are threatening to them. To correct the problem, just simply walk away. Usually 10-15 feet away will pacify them, as it usually occurs when you get too close to their nest. (they are generally docile in other situations)

As long as you aren't being aggressive towards them, any iridescent colored hornet will be docile. (I actually had a 3 inch long iridescent green one that would greet me every morning by sitting on my shoulder for a few seconds when I worked as maintenance at an apartment complex in Arizona, and a blue one that like scaring the girls at my tech school in Utah) Black hornets are almost always hostile though.

Honeybees are universally docile until the hive is threatened, or one of them is killed. Just ignore them if you see them. (or play with them, your choice) They like the taste of human skin, and are well known for drinking your soda while you're not looking. (check your straw before taking a gulp next time you're picnicking)

Africanized bees are almost universally overly aggressive, and have been known to kill people. This is usually reported in the news as being "without provocation or warning", but that is extremely inaccurate. I know (from a LOT of experience) that even Africanized bees will warn you away before attacking, but the warnings are very short in duration, and usually go unnoticed by the average person. The first warning is similar to what I already mentioned about the wasp, and the second is when they start divebombing you. If you miss the first, you won't miss the second. If you see them do either, LEAVE THE AREA THE WAY YOU ENTERED IT, AND MOVE QUICKLY! If one stings you, you are effectively marked with their 'death' pheromone, and they will not stop attacking you until either you are dead, or they are all dead. (you'll die long before they run out of drones, and they will linger in an area to try and kill you, they are even known to actively try to get inside a sealed house to try and get at someone they have targeted) I have actually managed to use these observations to get close enough to an Africanized nest to be able to insert a bug-bomb without needing any protection. (it thoroughly amazed the specialist that arrived shortly after I started my approach, he thought I was a goner, and had even called an ambulance to take away the body)

Things that are seen as threats to these type of flying insects:

1. Very loud noises. The vibrations in the air can actually cause them to partially lose the ability to navigate, and this panics them. Panic = attack the source of the panic.

2. Water spray. DO NOT SPRAY WATER AT NESTS!!! Bees and wasps are not water soluble, so they do get pissed if you try to turn them into a slurry.

3. If you see their nest, best to just walk away. These insects are very protective of their nests, not unlike us... Imagine a giant walking towards your house, yelling and stomping, effectively shaking your house to shambles with your spouse and children in it, and tell me YOU wouldn't be pissed.

4. Death of their own. Imagine watching the previously mentioned giant squash one of your friends/siblings, just because your friend/sibling was annoying it, and then tell me you wouldn't try and do something about it.

5. Strong female human pheromones. Female human pheromones are extremely similar to female insectoid pheromones, and as such appears to bees and wasps as the pheromones of a competing 'queen bee'. This results in more aggressive behavior towards females than males, even to the point of outright attacks. Male pheromones affect them negatively as well, but nowhere near the same extent.

Just a few observations, and pieces of information about some of your neighborhood's flying insectoids.

Nothing at all... I have blanked my mind since even thinking of music is giving me a headache.

Small, gaming related vent:

 

How fucking DARE Bethesda charge $100 for a game that DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING RUN? I want every red goddamn cent back, I am sick to death of having to struggle for FUCKING HOURS to get their PIECE OF SHIT TO RUN, because of issues they cannot POSSIBLY be unaware of and REFUSE TO FUCKING FIX.

 

I don't give a flying fuck what bullshit excuses Bethesda has. No game should outright fail to run, EVER. This is NOT acceptable, and they need to either fix the problem or give me my fucking money back.

Question... Which game, and what specific problem getting it to start are you having? (I may just have the right bizarre fix for you, as that's usually the kind of problems I experience)

Fuck mouse pads, all they do is get in the way. Sometimes I just want to throw them away at work.

100% agree for anything that isn't a low-profile pad. (if it's thicker than 2mm, it can exist in the trashcan, along with any form of wrist rest)

Trying not to cough, despite the fact that everything between my lungs and vocal cords is crawling/tickling.

Just some random thing I created.

 

 

 

 

Might work on it some more to make it look more similar to the logo. Who knows?

Must add glowing red cow eyes... It's iconic.

Just a little something I've been screwing around with.

 

 

It's missing the possum eating the dog's food, while the dog is cowering at the opposite end of its chain.

So, almost 100 hours in, and I finally got to see the BOS's main base. You know the one.

 

So friggen cool. And also, so much loot. It's a shame the BOS are all nazi-y now, though.

Your screenshots are not showing, ReverendTed.

The links for the images in his post say the file no longer exists... My suggestion to him is to upload them to Photobucket or Imgur, then link to those uploads.

Just thought I'd bring up attention spans, because I'm in between some things.

Oh, and why is music so different now?

 

Seen it already. Dude doesn't really say anything of value. But then, not one time in the history of his channel has anything of value ever been said.

 

Anyway, so... My friend and I are going to be setting up a website for our tabletop after the holidays. I'll link to it when it's up, but right now we're just talking about site layout and rules. Just thought I'd bring it up.

That's so interesting, but what are the whales going to do with all those oysters?

OT: Ok, I'm done bringing the random thread to this one.

Banned for saying that I thought that.

Kinda feeling this way a lot recently... Everything in general kinda sucks, but in the USA it's just a little less sucky. (and it's just barely, not significantly)
