Steam forces game updates down your throat. It makes sense for competitive online games, but take fallout 4 for example. Totally offline single player. A million mods made for specific game versions, and all the guides for modding stress a half dozen little things you can do to your steam install to stop the updates but the shit happens anyway. Crap like modifying steam INI files and making them read only. Shit users shouldn’t need to do.

It’s not on Bethesda to just what…not update their game? It’s on steam to say hold up, maybe we shouldnt be pushing this update - it might break everything. Yes/no dialog prompts aren’t rocket science.

A few weeks ago Bethesda pushed a new update on a 10+ year old game, and it destroyed countless modded save files for everyone. This is on steam and their ham fisted updates.

Edit: don’t take my word for it, find some reviews here with 1000+ hours in the game:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/reviews/

910.3 hrs on record - “Bethesda? Please stop releasing updates to 10y+ old games. Just breaking mods and frustrating players at this point.”

1,565.3 hrs on record - ‘Well, after 1.6K hours spent playing, all the towns built, monsters killed and latex suits craftet for my beautifull girls companions, latest update destroyed all the 200 mods again…’

1,617.5 hrs on record - “The new update was hot rubbish. Leave well enough alone Bethesda, updating a ten-year old game and breaking a thriving modding community…”

Oh wow the author spouting russian propaganda refuses to sign their name

Jdownloader2 is some horrid looking Java program that actually kicks ass.

I’m going to stop you at the very first sentence when you called it optional. You cannot complete the community center without a serious undetstanding of the fishing mechanic. It’s probably my biggest gripe of the game, because I DO want fishing to be optional and it very much is NOT optional.

2 years in and you’re trying to finish the community center so you have to spend 10 minutes on a random wiki to discover you’re going to have to wait 3 seasons before you can catch some of the required fish to finish the game. That part right there is not a fun mechanic. At all.

They had to reach all the way back to the 80s to find one good thing this ghoul did.

Everybody starts with a soul. Here’s evidence she had one 45 years ago? So what

Everyone swears by the high vis and clipboard combo, but these days high vis plus tablet is the way to go. You look way more important plus if someone approaches you it’s much easier to appear busy working on a tablet until they’re gone instead of staring at the same piece of paper.

Tell that to the public school teachers holding fundraisers for school supplies. Even police departments hold staggering amounts of fundraisers for police equipment lol.

I maybe wouldn’t donate to NASA generally, but a fundraiser for a specific mission? Hell yes take my money. We would have Gundams by next year

It’s also the most profitable.

I can’t wait to assault one of these things

Weird ass article doesn’t even mention whoever is selling $500k in stolen shoes. Is he still out there stealing shoes?

Russian news: Putin said it so it’s true!

It’s always neat to see how their propaganda reflects their fears and what they see in their daily life way more than what we see. Like the actual neo nazis part. If they were actually in the US they’d see all the far right neo nazis comfortably gobbling up the republican party position that - hey maybe russia isn’t so bad.

It’s only in Russia where they have massive amounts of neonazis directly opposed to the Russian government, who then decide to fight for ukraine. It’s massive amounts of RUSSIAN neonazis they are mad about. Because Russia has a massive neonazi problem.

They tell on themselves with their propaganda constantly.

It was in this exact moment that JD decided he would strive to be as good, nay, better than Tom Cruise and one day avenge his true love.

I might be late to this party but I recently noticed a VLsub option in VLC itself that makes manually adding subs way easier. It’s not automatic like the other tools mentioned but it’s still a huge time saver. Protip I noticed if you’re struggling to find a movie with it, just drop the imdb tt code into the name search box.

This isn’t the military sourcing. This is a foreign military sourcing.

They can go find their own dead bodies. Why do they need ours?

I’ve seen how IDF act on camera for tiktok. Theres a 100% chance these bodies were desecrated.

I used to find it had something to do with the explorer thumbnailer finishing up but sort of not letting go. It would happen if I had pictures or videos on the USB drive, and if I got the error I could go to another folder like my documents, drag a picture into another folder, go look at the pretty new thumbnail, then I could remove the USB drive because the thumbnailer was ‘parked’ back on the C drive. Sounds like I’m making it up but I swear it worked.

I’d encourage him to watch the 1983 classic War Games. He could just not play this game. Find a hobby.
