re: Oblivion Remake could shadow drop as early as tomorrow
Posted by Joshjrn on 4/29/25 at 9:53 pm
So, funny story. I was planning to play fairly naturally, trying to avoid any over the top meta gaming for what would be my third playthrough. In spite of what I had read about Expert, I’m a vet, no issue I think. So I get out of the sewers, avoid the newb trap ruins I’m facing and walk around… to be faced by a highwayman. No big deal, I’m still level 1, so no scaling. I tell him to eat a dick and he attacks. I smoke him three or four times with my spell… only to notice I’ve done basically zero damage. And one hit takes off like a third of my health. So I take off running. Dude will not stop chasing me. I make it all the way up into the mountains, now being chased by wolves as well, only to look up and stumble onto Frostcrag Spire. So now I can warp all over the map and have access to basically every alchemical ingredient in the game. Woops :lol:
a-hole is probably outside still chasing me :lol:

From what I’ve been told, Mobile dug in hard at wanting to be the end of the line, at least for now. I think that would be likely to change in the future.

I think most people just movbe on with their life once the issue is resolved. they don't think that anyone still cares after the fact. Instead of being angry why not just ask the person if/how their issue turned out? Seems like a much better solution than complaining about it on this board.
I think it's an internet culture thing. Those of us who grew up on web forums treat them as permanent repositories of information, to be referenced as wanted/needed basically forever. So it was beaten into us early on that you *always* say what the solution was, because someone is going to eventually come behind you with the same problem.
For those who haven't even spent much time on web forums, the idea of their single question being a part of a permanent information base is utterly foreign to them. It's no different to them than just asking a neighbor a question. If the neighbor eventually asks them how the solution turned out, they'll tell them, but they don't feel compelled to immediately report back.

My parents did it. Bathe at night, open the windows and turn on the attic fan, then sleep on top of the covers. You get used to it I suppose.
I spent a summer in Lyon, France, in an apartment without AC. In the last few weeks, I would take a shower before bed, turning it as cold as I could handle it at the end. Slept wearing nothing but tiny gym shorts, on top of the sheets, with the windows open.
I sweat my arse off, slept very little, and got bitten by mosquitos.
And that was in fricking France :lol:

What’s really cool is when you get “proof of delivery” and it’s just a grainy picture of a box on a nondescript patch of concrete, so you have to go into super sleuth mode to figure out which one of your neighbors is now enjoying their free gift.
One time I had enough of a picture to see that it clearly wasn’t on my doorstep or my closest neighbors’. They wanted me to go walk the neighborhood to figure out where it might have been left. I laughed at them :lol:

Go find another thread to be a douchebag in. The point of this thread is pretty obvious from the very first post. No one not actively looking for a miracle asks this question.
From the very first post, huh? Strange, being the first couple of pages were filled with posts either seriously answering the question or posting jokes/memes. I assume you’re going to castigate all of those posters next, right?
But regardless, I’ll acquiesce. This will be my last post on this thread.

How would a deity even be able to violate natural laws?
I’m a little confused by the question, considering most people seem to define a deity by the ability to do so. Or am misunderstanding your implication?

I would say his definition needs a bit more precision to include the violation of natural or scientific laws based on the current understanding. Something could be considered miraculous 200, 400, or 1,000 years ago, whereas today it could be simply explained by a better understanding of science.
I would argue that would imply a subjective, leaning again towards colloquial, definition. In giving what I consider to be a technical, objective definition, it would be a question of fact, not perception. But I appreciate that’s simply my definition.

The direct intervention by a deity resulting in the violation of natural laws.

In the way people use the term colloquially? Sure.
By the technical definition? No.

re: Inspection sticker elimination bill just failed at the Capitol
Posted by Joshjrn on 4/28/25 at 4:15 pm
This should absolutely not be construed as legal advice, and I'm certain there are exceptions, but most jurisdictions will dismiss a no inspection sticker ticket if you provide proof that you now have an up to date inspection sticker. Use that information as you will.
re: Amazon removes options to sort customer reviews by Most Recent. (Edited)
Posted by Joshjrn on 4/28/25 at 6:57 am
Glad to see the edit, but this would be a dealbreaker for me. It’s not the AI reviews that concern me; it’s that sellers will replace items in a listing, so you’ll have thousands of reviews that have nothing to do with the now-listed item.
