    Severe Weather for the Plains and Mid-West USA

    Northern Illinois here, it wasnt TOO bad. No tornados, but we did get a "dust storm", which was quite the experience. I had gone out to have a drive shortly before it hit, and at one point I make a turn, look at the sky in the distance in front of me, and I'm like, "pretty sure that isnt...

    Mountain Dew Survey!

    "Spiders" are spiders. Or other bugs. Little guys, they've got a lot of legs. The flaw with fountains is that the stuff can attract bugs, which can go up the spout. It's one of those things where there really just isnt much that can be done about it. Granted there's probably fountain...

    Mountain Dew Survey!

    Yes, I am here, as per protocol. *ahem* I generally have 2 bottles of it each day, shortly after getting up. It's the traditional flavor, I'm not much for variation. Caffeine, yep, sugar, yep. Now the routine used to be that I'd go down to the gas station each day and get a fountain...

    Generation X kids were neglected

    Even just one particularly nasty or traumatic incident can stick. Or a long series of events. I've been dealing with a therapist... a particularly good one... for quite awhile now, and it's surprised me as to just how many issues I have that eventually trace all the way back to school and...

    Trying to Study

    That doesnt sound like something they have any control over. You cant magically make everyone within a certain radius be quiet, nothing works that way.

    Too stupid to learn anything. Proofed it this past weeks.

    That's not proof of anything related to your intelligence. That's merely proof that your teachers were bloody horrible.

    Need help understanding something in a game

    There's a few ideas that occur to me: 1. It is certainly possible that it's an easter egg, many games have those. If that's what it is, it could be absolutely anything that caused it to open. A lot of easter eggs in games can have incredibly convoluted things that trigger them. Like "how in...

    Too stupid to learn anything. Proofed it this past weeks.

    This is just a thought based on my own experiences, but have you considered trying a totally different learning mechanism? For instance, I'm absolutely godawful at math. I dont think I ever reached a third-grade level, really. I could do addition and subtraction, so long as the numbers...

    "I should not have clicked on that" is something I find myself saying more and more in recent times.

    I think I need a break from this place. For my own mental health. Seeya later.

    Hell Let Loose - PC game. Can I play it alone?

    There's no reason for that. You know, there's a conversation I've had a few times with a friend of mine who lives nearby, about the whole gaming hobby and how bizarrely obtuse it is for new people. Like, every game just sorta assumes a level of base knowledge of a lot of concepts and such...

    Physical symptoms are keeping me down.

    I just want to second this. @Metalhead , you seem to get stuck in this loop sometimes, of pointing out that something is off, that you should do X, and then saying that you WILL do X. But then this repeats. You have to *actually* do X, whatever X is, and that's the rough part. No amount of...

    Hell Let Loose - PC game. Can I play it alone?

    Looking at that, I'm wondering, who is the punctured bongo that set up that store page? Steam says it was released in 2023. It was not. That's the 2019 game. And there's no indication of that on the page itself, because there's barely anything written about it. Apparently, it's actually an...

    Hell Let Loose - PC game. Can I play it alone?

    Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention: There are games that are singleplayer BUT also require you to be online anyway. Often referred to simply as "online-only singleplayer games". The fact that you have to connect to some server or have an account to play doesnt automatically mean there is...

    Hell Let Loose - PC game. Can I play it alone?

    There is a singleplayer campaign for Modern Warfare. Look: Here's the question though: Which specific game with that title did you try to buy? Modern Warfare is not just a game: it is a SERIES, contained within the overall Call of Duty franchise. So if you buy the wrong one, you end up...
