I also use a cat of this archetype. This is the Florida Flopper style housecat, but is sometimes identified as a Louisiana Long-dog.
The typical offender here is the well-to-do Canadian kid blasting gangsta rap in the back of the bus as though he's hard. He also has that early Justin Bieber accent down to a science. Hailing from the Detroit area myself and having spent nearly a decade in this province, I don't think this kid has ever met a gangsta in his life.
I think it's an illusion due to wearing their pants to their tits.
How many Olympic-size swimming pools would it fill?
Sometimes you can find scimitars in there. You can chop a camel right in its hump and drink all of its milk right off the tip of those things.
Some Companies Still Know How Business Is Done
Not going Eggo was their first mistake. In my experience, when it comes to frozen waffles, there is no room to fuck around.
As someone who can barely approach the edge of a 3-story parking structure, I would come unraveled on one of those balconies.
I expected more of a little squeaky "Wehh!"
Jesse Welles - Anything But Me
I've seen this guy going around social media here and there and have enjoyed a lot of what I've heard, but I believe that Anything But Me is an absolute hidden gem. It's a very catchy and moving tune. I also appreciate the ambience of him playing so much of his music deep in the woods with birds singing along.
I miss LAN parties. I miss the atmosphere in those sweltering bedrooms/livingrooms in the quiet hours of the morning. I'll never forget that LAN party vibe. Big one for my cousins and I was the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942. Also Starcraft, Diablo 2, and later on it shifted to WoW.
I've yet to find a game that properly rolls in a distant storm that eventually grows into an intense one. They tend to come on very quickly and escalate to 10 in about 20 seconds.
I actually can't pee with other people in the room, so public washrooms are a nightmare. But I learned that I can pee real easy in them while I'm sitting down to take a shit. So anytime I'm in one with other people, I just chill in the stall and pretend to take a shit. Might even fiddle with toilet paper after a while and flush just to keep the charade going.
Well, through that I learned that sitting to piss feels waayyyy fucking better. Especially in the middle of the night after crawling out of bed. I'm married, have a kid, and no longer care if people know I sometimes sit to pee.
From experience, if you find yourself in need of spirituality, finding comfort in some of the Old Ones (many to choose from) feels a hell of a lot more natural than any modern religions that I've been exposed to. Especially when your Old Ones embody the natural world and the cycle of the seasons. It's all right in front of you. You just decide within yourself whether or not you believe there is a greater spirit residing in it.
Every time I've ever tripped my cat(s) would come and lay on or beside me, purring louder than I've ever heard and staring into my eyes in a way they rarely had. It's incredibly intimate (not sexually). Cats absolutely know when you're tripping and they're there for you.
I went through a brief Asmongold phase about a year or two ago where I enjoyed just listening to him rant and bitch (mostly) about the video game industry. He was surprisingly articulate at times and not quite how I had perceived him. I watched him take a political alignment test and he was dumbfounded that he was fairly left-wing. I thought that might be a turning point for him, but then election season came around and he went right back to being an obnoxious Trump-supporting Texan. I don't think Asmongold even knows who he is deep down or what he stands for. I think he just spews vomit from his brain and doubles-down on all of it because he's incapable of dropping an argument or admitting he was wrong. It's kind of his shtick, but I'm long since done with it.
I know enough about him to attempt a deep-dive into his psyche in regards to his decrepit home, his mother's death and his unwillingness to seperate from his lifestyle, but at the end of the day his sad circumstances unfortunately don't excuse the abborant shit he sometimes says.
Do monsters despawn after escaping them via portal?
My wife and I ventured into the Mistlands for the first time yesterday and wound up being chased out by a rampaging 1-star insectoid/rock creature. This thing was insanely fast and incredibly pissed. It persued us well out of the Mistlands, through the Black Forest (where we had to constantly weave through trees and chug stamina potions to keep going), and all the way to our nearby temporary plains portal, where we escaped back to our base.
That portal was just on the shore near our boat, a great distance south. What is the likelihood that the creature will still be present if we return through that portal? Based on our experience with it, I suspect it will effortlessly kill us before we've even fully loaded into the other side.
If it's still there, we're probably better off taking another boat south and luring the creature away from our portal, or just abandoning that portal entirely.
Whatever that thing was it made my heart beat through my chest. It felt good to be afraid of something again.
Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)
My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man's Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can't leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I'd like to find other PC games that are relatively kid-friendly (or at least with my guidance and supervision) and easy for her to just wander about and be nosy.
Any suggestions? Simple adventure/fantasy would be great and provide us with something to progress through together, but anything that lets you explore a neighborhood and/or poke around in buildings and such would be perfect. I'm picking up Goat Simulator today for that exact purpose.
I appreciate it in advance.
xEdit Merged Patch, Bashed Patch, and Smashed Patch. Took a year off of modding and have forgotten the order of operation here.
Hey, guys. I was on medical leave for three months last year and spent a good portion of that time modding the absolute hell out of my game. I made several merged mods via zMerge, have a plug-in called zPatch.esp which I can't recall the purpose of, an inactive (unchecked) Bashed Patch, and an active Smashed Patch.
The game would have been good to launch and go as it was, but I have better hardware now and installed Nature of the Wild Lands, subsequently deleting Happy Trees, Aspens Ablaze and Enhanced Vanilla Trees from my former mod list. In addition, I installed four of JK's Outskirts mods (Markarth, Riften, Solitude, Windhelm) that had released since I last played.
To keep my plug-ins under 250, I trimmed the fat by removing KS Dragon Overhaul, as well as Civil War Refugees Redux due to clipping incompatibilities with the JK's Outskirts mods.
So to make certain everything still plays together nicely, I believe I need to remake the Bashed Patch (leveled lists only), then include it in a Smashed Patch, and leave only that Smashed Patch active near the bottom of my load order? Is this the correct order?
And if so, any idea what I may have made that zPatch.esl for? I had following Sinitar's guide for a good portion of the mods before moving on to the endless acquisition of others, but primarily referred to GamerPoets videos for the more complicated things like merging, bashing, smashing and DynDOLOD.
Any help sparking my memory here would be greatly appreciated. I've already properly ran TexGen and DynDOLOD, and checked my merged mods to rebuild and relink scripts, so that much is sorted out.
Thanks!

What are some small or mundane things that illicit strong feelings of nostalgia within you?
- Elicit
I seem to experience intense feelings of nostalgia rather frequently in my everyday life. It's brought on by the simplest or mundane of things, like the way the sun hits the top of conifers in the morning or evening, the trilling of a bird in the distance during certain seasons or weather conditions, the way a wall clock ticks away steadily in the stillness of my home (especially when accompanied by motes of dust in the sunlight), or the smell of a running air conditioner.
These moments illicit elicit both mysterious and beautiful emotions, but are hurled at me constantly. While I enjoy the feelings they give me, I seem to experience them far more often than I think most would consider normal. I don't know if there is a term for this sense of hyper-nostalgia, or what (if anything) it's indicative of. Most of it is tied to insignificant moments from my childhood, like lying in the melting snow on a Spring day (the trilling bird), or sitting bored in the car waiting on my mother (the sun on conifers), but a lot of it is more ambiguous.
So I thought it would be fun to ask other people what their strongest (and perhaps recurring) moments of nostalgia are triggered and/or tied to. What are some of yours?
