Elder Scrolls 6 likely won’t revert to “fiddly character sheets” after Baldur’s Gate 3 success, explains Skyrim lead
  • My biggest gripe still is the planet that has an absolute embargo on it, ships stopping anyone from entering, a planet obliterated by the monsters, frozen over. You land, do the mission, and then right outside there's multiple POI with settlers just casually living, pirate bases just generically there. Like they couldn't even stop the POI's from spawning on the one planet that should have been abandoned.

  • Honey
  • I keep my own bees for honey and I have chickens for my eggs. I'm trying to cut off the industry from my life. Not that I'm vegan, the industry tends to remove a lot more from the end result than just the humanity.

  • Honey
  • I mean anything commercial comes out to be pretty inhumane. They cut off the queens bees wings in commercial honey harvesting.

    I guess bees aren't as animal as chickens are?

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today
  • Oh. Maybe I shouldn't share this but I never paid for a windows product. Even office when it went to 360 I stopped trying to pirate earlier versions and just switched to free open source office tools.

    Windows 8 I think got authenticated when it went to 10 and I've just been riding that install. Still got my handy USB stick whenever I reinstall.

    The shooter game is just a time killer for me. Dopamine memories from better times. The problem with using compatible apps is not all my friends will. Is datcord communicate directly with discord users? We already have a technologic dichotomy with half my friends on iPhone other on Android. Xbox vs Playstation vs pc gaming. It's tough to get people on the same page.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today
  • Besides using it since Windows 95, I've done everything on it. Warez, making shady software work, learning the ins and outs to keep it my way.

    I thought about switching since I've dabbled in dual boot before, but I just f don't want to be restarting my computer to keep switching between OS when one can do all I want with some baggage, and the other can do less without it.

    Mainly for me it's compatibility. Discord, MW3, networking between my main PC and HTPC. Online gaming with friends. Full steam support.

    It just works. Switching to Linux, finding a distro that will encompass what I do, running into problems, having to fix them, or worst case scenario finding out that I can't do the thing (mw3 or any game that has denuvo) without having to switch back to windows anyways in a dual boot I just don't see why having Linux to do anything that I'm already doing on windows is worth it. Why have dual boot. Removing the annoying windows baggage is just not enough for me to switch.

    I just now switched from chrome to Firefox because they finally implemented the removal of anti ad extensions. It was an easy switch. The UI is a little different. But I hate nothing more than ads. Despise them. And paying to remove them isn't an option because it means I'm giving into the hostage situation.

    If windows becomes unmanageable, I can't find ANY software to remove ads, even remove windows features that I can't live with, then I'll consider sacrificing the few things I can't do on Linux and move to Linux.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today
  • Wtf is this a reasonable comment to discuss a nuanced topic where a person who never used Linux and has no desire to can maybe find options to adjust and keep my windows from enshittifying?

    Inb4 get linux

    I get it. I just don't want to learn a new operating system. And to make it work for most of what I use my computer for.

  • Cheeky
  • We're on a forum my friend, there is no spirit here. I've made 2 small remarks and you somehow got me and my intent all figured out. Maybe everyone on the planet has heard at the very least the existence of the message. There is no room here to have any form of discussion on what that message can mean. But people are finding God, as adults, the way you've said, through intimate dialog and love.

    I meant no disrespect. I merely said there's a cost no matter how you choose, or how life has been laid out before you, and to be at peace is a simple remark for your sarcasm. English is my second language. If this offended you, I apologize. This is lemmy. Hardly a platform to have any meaningful discussion on relationships with a God or religion. Or politics.

  • Full list of Republicans who voted against FEMA funding before Helene hit
  • They bundle things into bills all the time to make the other side vote on them or look like the bad guy, by using the American citizen as hostage. I wonder why so little bills passed on helping the common man. I'm not taking the Republicans side here but it's not black and white. Everyone's reply to the concept of why the Republicans blocked it has been doubt, and it seems the "only" plausible explanation is that they're all being petty and want to blame democrats for the failed FEMA response.

  • Hurricane Katrina vs. Hurricane Helene
  • This infuriates me so much. I am sitting here like a dumbass saying that this storm is worse than Katrina. Like I know I should do research before being confident in what I know but how many small infographics like this do we digest and then regurgitate a political opinion based off of them

  • The Instant Pot Failed Because It Was a Good Product
  • Someone needs to create a business that bails out/buys excellent quality products and produces them in a small enough scale that only new owners will need.

    Consider it an excellent achievement for a product to make it here. Only the best buy it for life products.

  • Help. Wife found this in her egg this morning

    Has anyone had a whiteish mass in their egg before? I looked online and some people said it's intestinal lining some said ovary parts. Not sure, but it looks too big to be the white strandy stuff.

    Got a Bambu P1S but the build are low quality

    Hey guys I got the bambu P1S a couple months ago because it was recommended. I'm super new to 3d printing. This is my first one. I'm not new to electronics or computers. I ran a few of the built in prints, a dinosaur puzzle and this scraping tool but both came out fuzzy and in poor build shape. What can cause this? Shaky table? Cold temps (the printer is in my insulated garage getting around 65 degrees at the moment inside)? Is the stock bed bad? The filament it came with bad?

    Thanks for any advice. !

    Advice on panel/inverter set up

    Hey guys I am planning to do my own solar and am looking into some kits and prices. I was quoted $22k for a 7.4kw system but I'm thinking of doing a 12.7kw one myself without the bloat of a loan and contractor install.

    The problem I'm currently having is trying to pair up a premium panel with Enphase microinverter. I see that REC is highly regarded as one of the best, but the REC 420 is only compatible with the IQ8X which together will run me over 14k for just the panels and inverters, let alone the rest of the infrastructure. But the REC 400 is compatible with the IQ8A.

    Suntansolar has some pretty nice kits, one of which has the ZNshine 410's that run a little longer but I should have the space, as well as the Iq8a micros. But I'm not familiar with that brand.

    Does anyone have experience with a good combo set of panels and inverters? I think generally the consensus has been that microinverters are the way to go.

    Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting?

    I'm sorry for posting this here. There isn't a solar panel instance, nor did I see anything for electricians. I know there's been a lot of gripe with certain solar companies (solgen being in litigation, and others) but I didn't hear much about freedom forever, since they're new to Seattle area where I'm doing this. Reddit seems to hate this company. But the price seems alright. I'm paying $22k for 7.4kw but getting it down to 15k after the state stipend. Less than $3 a watt which I'm guessing is really good. I'm planning to pay it off in 2 or 3 years. Not the full 25 which will cost me so much more. Can anyone point me in the right direction and if I'm making the right decision?

    Is my peach tree dead?

    I'm not sure what happened but my peach tree isn't getting leaves. The branches on the end are brittle but I did a little cut on the tree bark on the trunk and it was green under so I don't think she's dead. I'm not sure what may have caused this. I thought at first it was because she didn't get enough chill hours but we got over 1000 hours here in Seattle area.

    Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device

    Sorry if this the wrong place, I couldn't find an HTPC, home theater, techsupport, or equivalent instance to ask.

    The gist is I want to add a TV to my master bedroom for my wife to just browse the web, and for my kids to have something to watch in the mornings while my wife gets out of bed. I have a main pc in my theater room for gaming, and an HTPC on projector for movies and stuff. I don't want to get a roku or any mainstream smart device, but I'm OK with getting something like a raspberry pi (never done this) to have an air mouse hooked up to the TV so my wife can browse the web, open YouTube, Netflix, steam books, Spotify, as well as access my pc library of content for viewing. Not for gaming. Everything I'm finding online is people connecting their pc to their TV and it's always for gaming. I don't need large processing, just enough to watch things, while connecting to my home computers.

    Thank you.

    I'm struggling with vanishing neon tetras. Can my pleco be eating them?

    First of all I want to thank you guys for helping me identify my eel. I haven't felt this kind of help in a small community anywhere else.

    Now for the tetra's we had a dissappearing issue when we had a rainbow shark. We ended up getting rid of the shark and getting tetras till we had 20. Now we're down to 12. I currently have 3 swordtails, 2 loaches, a small brisslemouth pleco and a larger pleco that survived. Plus 2 eels, one that was answered here and another is a zigzag eel.

    Am I having a problem with hiding spots? I know I don't have enough plants. I'm thinking of getting more moss and covering the area under the wood structure on the right.

    Or are they getting sucked up the filter? I thought this but couldn't find any evidence in the filter system. Any advice would be fully appreciated.

    Here's the pleco I'm questioning. !

    Can I get help identifying this eel?

    It looks kind of like a ropefish/reedfish but it's not as long.
