The fact we even have a term for another branch of human predators - the Porch Pirate!

 

It's that time of the year again when they are in a heightened state of prowling neighborhoods - likely even following UPS/Fed-Ex trucks like stalkers, just waiting to make the kill. I myself ALWAYS opt for pick-up. The package made it hundreds, or thousands of miles, and me having to drive a couple to ensure receipt (and uncontested inspection) of any package is just another smart consumer habit.

 

Amusing videos of human created or natural 'Bad Karma' for those thieves doesn't ever offset the feelings of violence produced within me when I see these people taking what isn't theirs.

I hate it if mods "intentionally interfere" with my game after I installed them! ?

What, do you mean things such as hidden edits of elements of a game which were pet peeves of the mod author yet not particularly reviled by the player base at large?

Had my first run in with a mask-Nazi the other day.  Just like someone else mentioned some days ago here.  I was at minimum 50 feet away from them, in the open (not indoors).  From what they were doing, I figured they were a customer, but it's usually something that doesn't require my input. They kinda waved to me, which I took to mean "I could use your input on something".  I walked over to them, and the ONLY thing they had to say? 

'Where's your mask?' 

You're fucking kidding me, right?  The ONLY reason I, who work alone, am anywhere near you is because YOU intentionally got MY attention.  Fuck off, sir.  If it weren't for the fact that it would look bad on the company, I'd actually have said as much to him.  Wish I'd just responded with "Have a nice day, sir." and walked away.  Instead, I attempted to input some logic into this simpleton's brain.  Let's see:

1. We are both outdoors.  You can't get any more 'diluted' air quality than that.
2. We're not just six feet from each other, I'm 50+ feet away doing my thing, and YOU called me into YOUR space.  No.  Fuck you.
3. At the time, I was OBVIOUSLY busy doing something, and this simple shit decided it was HIS all-commanding requirement to take MY time away when I needed to be doing what I was doing?  What he was doing was HIS business, I was NOT required.
4. End summary, his ONLY reason for wasting my time was to be self righteous about something that made absolutely ZERO sense in the environment he was in.

What a fuckwad.

Daddy. Non-masks and masks are screaming at each other. What should I do?

I don't know about his reasons but for me it'd be when a mod injects so much of itself into the game that it starts interfering with roleplaying options at large. Most notable one i can think of would be the mod "Dovahkiin's Infamy" which just to be clear, is a legitimately good mod in my opinion. But using it from the beginning of a playthrough is frustrating because as soon as you start a playthrough it always assumes that you're playing as a dude who can't get laid", that's before the character creation even shows up. The mod gives little to no clues/explanations for very complicated quests and assumes that everybody can figure things out just as easily.

 

And to put it bluntly, the "hints" given by the mod author are extremely vague and complete crap. So instead of enjoying a challenging puzzle you end up spending frustrating hours looking for who knows what the quests need to progress. It just throws you in there, moves characters around with no warnings or explanations and ties vanilla quest outcomes with the mod quests.

 

So now i can't even progress the default quests without breaking something. I wish it weren't like that because the mod in question is like i said, pretty good. But this kind of shit makes it unplayable. And i'm not a CK wizard either so i can't just pop it open and fix shit for my convenience.

That does sound a bit overbearing though not on the level of mods such as Rigmor of Bruma which overtakes about 1/3 of all game quests (to give a lowball estimate), stopping just a few steps shy of being a total conversion of Skyrim into an epic Ellen Elliot Page full fledged fan fiction.

Yeah, in general i'm always appreciative of mod makers for spending long hours and creating stuff for free. But i wish some of them took operational flexibility into consideration. It just sucks when you come across a mod that's well written but badly implemented and then dropped by the mod makers before you can even suggest anything. Oh well.

Browsing through new games, just looking for something with sexy female characters... but there is nothing (except of stuff from asia)  

I don't mean a porn game, just normal games but with appealing females. 

 

I miss seeing stuff like this in games:

Here are my thoughts on the matter. This would require people to step out of their comfort zone to buy games with sexy female characters that aren't wearing a parka. Given men(and women) have to step away from their family to fully enjoy such things it makes the buying process much more complicated. I'd go on a whim and say since people in Asia or more specifically Japan are having problems starting a family anyway that streamlines the process.

 

Solution: masturbate in front of your family like a boss. You are a healthy independent man(or woman). Own it!

MICROSOFT

Its constantly thinking it knows better about what I need than I do.  Recently changing my security settings with an update that fucking shut down my VMs and other tomfoolery. WTF! Stop Microsoft. Stop it now. I understand your default settings for security due to those that don't know better. but when I fucking go through the time to change them (and use something better for my security needs than your bullshit) I don't need you to come along and flip the programs back on with a fucking update. .. which you try your fucking best  to shove down my throat as it is. Often times at the most inopportune times.

 

How about this Microsoft.. spend some more time on fixing your exploits and such instead of flipping my settings back on. Perhaps then you'd fix exploits that have been found in your system for more than 20 years!  Take care of your shit.. I'll take care of mine.. OK?

You can see that kind of thing in CyberPunk 2077 but with a few extra polygons in the face models. Retro-Futurism to the rescue.

Thing is, it went from big titties in sexy spandex to flat chested women with curves.

Dynamite Comics. They have a load of titles featuring heroines who are mainly known for the quantity of skin they display: Red Sonja,  Vampirella, Dejah Thoris, and so on. Each issue has about a dozen variant covers, each striving to be more revealing than the last ... and then you open the comic and the heroine spends the entire story wearing a burlap sack and generally looking about as sexy as assembly instructions for an IKEA flatpack cabinet.

 

I have fond memories of Red Sonja from my teenage years, but if I open one of her comics, it's not so I can see her dress sensibly so she can attend strategy sessions and set social policy.

The current writer of red sonja is one of the founding members of #comicsgate and has gotten about 40 people permanently blacklisted from the industry. Maybe stop giving her views and a platform.

[DocClox]

Maybe we could talk about the contents of a book reflecting the covers without dragging politics into it?

[27X]

They don't reflect the covers because the person writing them, and they aren't going to tomorrow either.

[DocClox]

Both the writer and the covers are under the control of the comic company. If the two disagree, that's poor management on someone's part.

 

False advertising is false advertising, and politics is no excuse.

Less politics and more ideology, and ideology isn't the excuse for it, it's the reason for it. It is a load of bullshit though.

 

Regrettably, there's not much to do about ideology, except boycott the products and let them course-correct or sink on their own.

You're right. Ideology does not excuse false advertising. It's definitely bullshit

I also call bullshit on the current shutdown we are having where I live.  They seem to not know what else to do.  I don't believe we need this and that most if not all of the people currently sick have been for awhile and many likely have some form of immunity to it now. I believe they'd do better focusing on those that have risk and need assistance money or otherwise (like shopping and delivery etc) so that they can avoid all contact with the outside during this upswing. Let those that have less risk do there thing.  Restaurants around me are closing down in great quantity ...  Loads of mom/pop businesses are shutting down as well .. entire areas of shops are gone. the government doesn't care as big money will come in and "revitalize" the area and bet your bottom dollar they will be praised for it. It wouldn't surprise me if those planing all this also have the plan to wipe out many of the low income businesses so that more high tax/revenue businesses can come in to boost the city's bottom line.

 

Good news though - tech giants' shares skyrocketed this year. Bah, who needs mom/pop businesses when you've got Amazon, right? Right?

 

Killing small business is the point. Tech giants get their shares boost, shareholders are ecstatic, financial institutions drop land prices in those previously expensive areas so they could make a huge buyouts and invest their money which is about to burn anyway into something real. At a huge discount. The Great Reset, as they call it, is coming, and they aren't to be the losers of it. "Mom and pop" will pay, not them.

 

I'm not a microbiologist, but I'm a lead software developer and I work with the marketing close for many years. I've seen those guys at work, and I respect them for their talents, but  I can smell marketing BS from a mile away, this "pandemics" is full of it. Starting from the day of those "support the doctors" flash-mobs on the intrawebs, with people shouting from their isolated homes on a camera, conveniently (and, of course, 100% randomly) placed nearby. WHO tried pulling it off several times, with many "pandemics", before. This time they did it right, with all the pieces in place. Gosh, they even got a nice name for it - "Corona-Virus'. Sounds royal. A nice trademark, actually.

 

What's going on is probably the largest scam in the history of mankind.
