Jaded. Please, fuck off.

the Zelda material is super sad for me as well because my late baby sister and I bonded tightly over the Zelda games
First off, I hope you have been able to find your solace. Losing family sucks, but when it’s someone that close to you it frankly changes you. This internet stranger’s heart is with you, FWIW.
My brother and I bonded over the Zelda franchise (specifically the OoT/MM era, plus WW). We grew up rough, weren’t sure if we would even make it to our thirties, and those adventure games helped us escape from some pretty crappy experiences. To us, it’s more than a franchise: it’s a culture.
Link is (usually) never the same character in the games; they’re like reincarnations. Being a Link doesn’t mean being one singular person. To me, being a Link means being steadfast, flexible, compassionate and, above all, adventurous. Things anyone can do/be, and that’s why I think the Zelda franchise fosters some truly amazing gamers when they play those games. Although I do find myself regularly curbing the invasive thoughts to break people’s pots… small price to pay!
I digress, the explosive prevalence of the Internet has led to printed walkthrough manuals being a thing of the Early Aughts. Ahh, it’s great getting older!
This is something me and my brother always did whenever we collectively bought a new game for our N64/GameCube. I’ll never forget snapping that shrink wrap off, popping open the case, and whiffing in the wood-pulpy smell of a freshly-printed, made-with-love Wind Waker manual. It was all ogre when we bought the walkthrough manual; not even my wife smells that good.
Or should I have mentioned Pokemon Stadium…?
I would expect no less from an active website with such a domain name.
Kika meowing loudly because she “hunted” something
Our 10yo Tabby has done this since the first day I adopted her. We found it so endearing we bought her a stuffed rat that’s almost bigger than her own noggin.
In regards to sleep hygiene, that was arguably the worst decision we’ve ever made.
Still love the rascal to pieces!

It’s the same pearl-clutching isolationism that the GOP, Tory, AfD, Likud and many other political entities of many other countries have. It’s a popular outlook on life for ignorant, gullible people. Fascism will never die, that’s why we as a species should never stop fighting against it.
I’ll just leave this here.
I wonder if a layer of Ripstop over the tiles would reduce performance. I could imagine fabric being a less expensive option than R&Ding more proprietary tech like making the tiles even smaller.
Edit: Glossed over the fact the tiles rotate. Nevermind me.
I could see them innovating with electromagnetic suspension, like with predictive magnetic suspensions in supercars. General Atomics has also been developing a rarely green-lit, high-speed maglev train for freight in California, so we may see proliferation of that tech if the project shows success.
https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/ Viva New Vegas is a community curated list of mods providing a near-Vanilla, yet expanded and bug-free gameplay. There aren’t any more recommended mods than what is on the list, anything beyond would be for your preference. It is SUPER important to follow the directions with scrutiny, mega mod lists are very fragile and finicky during the installation process.
Fallout 4 has one as well: https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/ (note: it is currently being revised for F4’s next-gen update)
Fallout 3, of course: https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/
Now, if you’re feeling particularly insane, you can actually splice Fallout 3 and Fallout: NV into what is known as The Tale of Two Wastelands. This essentially provides FNV’s updated game engine and modding support for FO3. Good luck: https://taleoftwowastelands.com/viewforum.php@f=51

So what if our little brother was more than just a prick? A stray punch thrown during a fight knocks some innocent kids’ teeth out? What if he killed someone one day by pushing them around too hard? How do you deal with that when the cops are too busy and your parents aren’t home?
I wish we, as College-Bro, would quit blindly defending our “family” and start thinking about the recipients. Our little bully brother needs to be grounded for a while like our Russian cousin.
My real question: how would you ground a child holding a loaded gun?
“Our view is that one of the most gamechanging moves available to us at this time to support Ukraine is to persuade the PRC [People’s Republic of China] to stop helping Russia reconstitute its military industrial base,” the official said.
Nooo… I think sending the weapons to Ukraine instead of Israel is one of, if not the, most gamechanging moves available. What the fuck do I know, though.
Sorry, being chronically late is sort of my character flaw.
But who will be our representative for Jewish Space Lasers?? Imagine the atrocities of such an unchecked system!!
I don’t think they have a backup plan, everything is going according to their active plan. You could almost consider this like micro-colonization: the wealthy step on the toes of the working folk, lie to the workers into thinking colonization is good, drain resources and human willpower, then throw them in a ditch after they realize their home was stolen from them. Ask the Native Americans, Aboriginals of Australia, or almost every single African country to ever have existed.
TL;DR - We’ll probably be displaced to neat little patches of land where were are out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
Nothing will change until organization takes place. Assuming you’re in the USA, join your local climate activist group. Nearly any group will do, or if you’re inclined you could start your own. You will meet like-minded people in a driven atmosphere. Can’t make meetings regularly? Go when you can, even if it’s just once every other month. Like a true democracy, collective thought and action is the only true way to stomp out fascism. We need to band together beyond our devices for our voices to be heard.
It sounds like she was a great person, and I’m happy you’ve found peace. I’m sure she’ll rest well knowing that.
I know all too well that time holds no prejudice to anyone. Take care, friend.
