    I've been playing Bethesda games for awhile and every single 3D game made by them has had some serious issues on launch.

  • Two brands suspend advertising on X after their ads appeared next to pro-Nazi content
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 100%

    Yep it's the association for sure

    But also a factor (for those that know) is that companies will pay for their ads to run to specific demographics of people based on the data that a advertising platform (Twitter, YouTube, Tinder, Facebook, etc) has gathered to determine specific things about you as a person.

    It's the whole concept behind targeted ads. You pay for eyes that will see it and are more likely to purchase your products due to that demographic data. Or at the very least, view your website for traffic that can be used to harvest more data about you so that it can be sold to other companies.

    If it wasn't clear I'm the tank in this gif, they're the ones throwing stuff. I say relatives because family doesn't treat you like they treated me, like shit. They earned their blocks and I hope they someday can find peace. Always keep in mind folks, family is the relationship not blood. You can't change your relatives, but who you consider family is purely up to you. Never be afraid to cut toxic/shitty people out of your life.

    International chess federation FIDE: a trans woman "has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women"
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 100%

    Of course they are, the pieces are super manly in the men's games. Made of concrete for extra ruggedness and painted manly colors, nothing bright or cheerful as far as the eye could see. And the chairs they sit in are also super manly no comfort at all. All played on a manly tactical chessboard. /S

    Seriously though this whole decision just screams "cruelty is the point" and no concept of equality.

  • "Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable:" DeSantis's Florida Approves Climate-Denial Videos in Schools
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 100%

    As someone who grew up in rural Washington on the threshold of populated Washington, yeah shit gets pretty fucked really quick in those rural areas.

    It was a really religious area as well so that really didn't help. The local religious people have a strong belief in having as many children as possible as soon as possible. The running non-joke (because it's common) about it is the first kid to turn 16 drives the 3rd van.

  • What’s going on with the reports of a room-temperature superconductor?
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 100%

    Personally I think it's more related to the current recent climate stuff and the failure of the G20 summit to come to an agreement on the climate crisis.

  • Would you buy a new battery for a very old laptop?
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 0%

    Depending on price I might go for it

    I did spend like $40 on a battery for a 10 year old laptop a few years ago so that I could keep using it for troubleshooting a remote network I setup up awhile ago because it's cheaper than a new laptop.

    Personally I'd see if you can find a new compatible battery not necessarily an OEM battery though as being new it's probably going to last awhile.

  • I spent this morning painting a few skeletons for my DnD group, I'm surprised with how well they came out.
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 0%

    Thank you

    I'm having to answer from one of my alts because my main isn't showing the comments for some reason.

    Priming is really important for painting minis both 3d printed and off the shelf ones. It helps the paints you use to stick and spread properly.

    For the skeletons I used Rust-Oleum primer (both black and grey), Apple Barrel white for highlights before the main paint job, Army Painter Speed paints for the most of it, and Vallejo paints for the weapons. Everything but the primers were acrylic paints.

    The priming does a lot of heavy lifting for getting the details properly highlighted. Basically using the black primer for full coverage in every crevice, the grey primer from just the top at a few angles to leave the crevices and under parts dark, and then lightly dry brushing some white paint to highlight the high points and details. Afterwards using some thinned down paint so that the previous work is seen through makes it all pop.

    For some prints sanding can be pretty helpful for removing print artifacts and using small files instead of sand paper is basically the only way for minis. These guys I didn't sand because I felt some of the artifacts added character.

  • It’s like this, sometimes
  • Gormadt Gormadt 1y ago 100%

    For me it's usually during the winter time that it kicks in. I don't pick up on it for a few days but making sure that I get outside can usually stave it off for awhile until I have to bust out my bright AF lamp for my morning coffee.

    That shits so bright it hurts

    But hey, at least it keeps the darkness at bay.

    Getting like 5k+ steps of engaged walking per day helps me a lot
