You’re right! 3001: The Final Odyssey. I only have the first three so I didn’t realize there was a fourth. Thanks for mentioning it!

Oh wow, that’s awesome. I’ve been reading the 2001: A Space Odyssey trilogy, which centers around Jupiter and Europa, so this helps me visualize the moon! It’s way more cracked with streaks of red than I imagined.

I recommend Fantasticocks and DeepFantasies.

Jokes on them, you can’t even do the things you like.

Isn’t that what Adnauseam does?

My nephew is named Levi and I 100% plan on calling him Leviathan when he’s a bit older. I hope my brother hates it! Haha

I learned that data was on the top side at a very young age. I put a sticker on top of a CD and a couple years later peeled it off and the image came off too. I tried to play the CD and realized my mistake. I think I was around 7. Luckily it was just kid’s Christmas songs and nothing important lol.

If you haven’t already, clean the dryer vent thoroughly, including the whole exhaust vent leading outside. This should be done at least once a year. Once the vent is clear it should speed up drying, if not it might be the dryer itself and the manual might have solutions.

Here are some guides: https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/how-to-clean-a-dryer-vent/ https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/home-diy/projects/dryer-vent-cleaning.htm

Have you heard that ConcernedApe took a break from working on their new game to do one last big update for Stardew? Things like improvements for mod support, some more storyline dialogue, a new yearly festival/event, hats on cats/dogs!, seasonal clothing changes for NPCs, I think additional Joja content, and something else for Ginger Island. No release date confirmed yet, but CA can take as long as necessary to work on it, I’ll still be patiently and excitedly waiting!

Have you heard about the London mod coming out sometime next year? It’s massive and looks awesome! Can’t wait to try that!

Just filter out glass and LED in your search. There are plenty of plain black towers. They’re usually pretty cheap too, I think mine was $20.

I thought that was an ADHD trait… or is this one of those symptoms that can be true for both?

But this explains why my partner will play the same game all day and nothing else, even though she has plans to work on projects and stuff.

Wow, it must have just changed over! Earlier it was teal, and now it’s green.

In the app or desktop site? On the app it’s been that way for a while, like a seafoam green, no idea how long it’s been that color. The desktop site looks dark green right now, that’s new. Probably for the holidays.

This is one of those games that I started playing and put down and went back to and played through entirely. I really wanted to play it because I loved The Stupendium’s song “The Fine Print”. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and medicated, I didn’t think this would effect how I play games, but it allowed me to stay focused on the game and actually play it all the way through. I was able to thoroughly explore the game without getting distracted by picking up items, getting lost, forgetting the plot or quest line.

My favorite things about the game were the silly jingles and overall style of everything. The slogans and stylized art really made it feel retro-futuristic and dystopian. Everyone knows the companies are bad, but it’s all they have, so they have to put on a smile and deal with it. The choices you face make you think about the consequences (what’s right vs corporate greed, mostly). In my play-through I tried to do all of the “right” choices and stay on everyone’s good side, be the “hero”. I did every side quest and companion story line, so it took a while to complete, but it was nice to completely finish a game for once. The next time I play, I think I’ll do a more “evil” approach to see more story lines. I really enjoyed all the mementos and trinkets you collect for the ship, it was nice to read little snippets about them and the companions. I really think it was the little things about the game that I enjoyed the most. Fighting enemies wasn’t hard, especially with companions. I didn’t use their special abilities, (I don’t think I knew how to) so I missed out on the small comment scenes you mentioned.

Unfortunately, I played it on PS4, so the worst thing was load times. Every loading screen took forever. The further into the game, the longer they took. At one point the game crashed and I had to re-download to get it to work again, luckily this didn’t effect the save game. But it happened a couple of times, which was worrying. Hopefully I can get the PC version for my next play-through. I played on easy mode because I’m horrible at FPS and I have to say, the amount of ammo you’re given is excessive, even for easy mode. I had thousands of rounds of ammo for all ammo types. I don’t think I reached the storage limit, but it was close.

Great review, you summed up the story line and game style very eloquently! I agree that many quests were tedious fetch-quests, this was very annoying and obvious playing on PS4 with the load screens. I didn’t realize it was advertised as a follow up to New Vegas, but I had heard that it was made by some of the people that worked on it, which you point out is not exactly the case. Regardless, they did a wonderful job on this game and while it’s not perfect, it is a great story that I enjoyed! Coincidentally enough, I started New Vegas last night and expect to enjoy it as much as this game, if not more. I’d always heard amazing things about it, but never got around to playing.

I’ve never used an app to track, but as a teen my periods were so inconsistent that they would probably think I was pregnant and miscarrying every 3 months. There were times I didn’t bleed for 3 months then bled for 2, for years. This led me to starting birth control years before I ever had sex for the first time. I definitely would have been on some watchlist if that took place today.

Luckily, after years of trying to stop birth control (and going right back into that weird bleeding cycle every time! >:[ wtf body) my new doctor agreed to do a hysterectomy! It was just recently done, so I’m still recovering, but I’m so fucking happy I never have to deal with periods and bc pills ever again!

Sorry for the novel lol

For cupcakes, unwrap, rip off the bottom and place it on top of the icing. Cupcake sandwich. My mom saw me do this once and now she does it every time haha

I made brownies from a box mix the other day that said to add an extra egg for more “cake-like” texture. The edges looked like the extra egg example, but overall it looked like the baking soda example. 🤷 Just tasted like brownies.

Yeah, one save file per profile. Which is kinda neat because you can have multiple profiles and receive event items on each save.

One of my favorites is Atomic Shrimp. He does his own thing creating videos on weird stuff he loves doing. Videos include scambaiting, reviewing cans of strange foods, nature and slowtv videos, cooking meals from ingredients bought with limited budgets and rules, food, gardening, and crafting experiments, cheap dropship item reviews, etc.

I’ve never seen a sponsored ad from him and he avoids using clickbaity thumbnails and titles. His content isn’t for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoy watching all the random shit he does.

Edit: also, I just read over his channel description, he blatantly says he does not accept any offers for sponsorships, paid ads, product placements, etc. Definitely fits your “not for the money” question! :)
