    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I aimed myself at a distant point on a beach in monsters & memories, hit autorun and went to make tea. I came back dead of what I can only guess was drowning. I've since spent hours scouring the sea looking for my crap. I can totally understand why MH370 is still missing.

    Ancient Civilizations

    Recent paper on pictish genetics: In summary, they still don't know a damn thing. Just not enough bodies to study up there I guess. The Scythian origin story is cool. They arrived via ship from the steppe, coming through the black sea -> the med -> Gibraltar and up the coast. It was all...

    Vulkan is very very verbose. If you follow the basic tutorial it is a LOT of code and a lot of steps before you are even drawing a single triangle. It is much less "managed" than directx, and quite a lot of things are doable on secondary threads. For DX11 everything must be done on the main...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    The homerun is working now. Had to order a cheap switch to get it going. Kodi still loses all guide information after a few hours, and it seems there's no way to renumber channels. Other than that it is quite solid. BTW has anyone managed to get a guide in Kodi with larger fonts? I need...

    Weather

    It was 111 and humid here today, then a big ass storm rolled through. Power went out a few times then Thor turned it up to 11 and we got pounded by crazy lightning for a good hour. Power was out for an hour or two, but when it came back on my house and 1 other had nothing. I called them and...

    I've seen some dodgy youtube theories that people outside migrated into africa and mixed.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Sometimes you get rolled by an even con. Look at those double attacks, 2 in a row for near max damage. My health vanished so fast haha

    Weather

    We had a mild start to the summer but the past couple weeks have all been 105ish. Today was under 100 and soooo nice. My AC can handle sub 100 temps.

    I got disarmed in a run-away situation so I lost my +1 quarterstaff. Maybe someday I'll be tough enough to go back there.

    I think I'd have to go back alot of hours, through some crazy dire peril. I'll investigate.

    My game ended with a your party has been defeated (I can see through the darkened screen that everyone is alive and full health). I reload and it just happens again. This was after a rest. So I guess I'm starting over?

    Ancient Civilizations

    I've thought about the outpost / settlement thing for the Phoenicians. I think they would need one, maybe on the Mississippi. The size would depend on if they are trading for ore, or trading for ingots. The above is correct though, I don't think there's an ounce of semetic dna in the american...

    Characters need some modder love. Tiny beady eyes and bad skin on an elf. I'm trying a monk, fun so far!

    Since my download is so slow I thought I would make some baldur's gate 3 taverny AI art! Prepare thyself for mangled fingers and really bad chainmail. All elves depicted are over the age of 400. This one was a funny accident. I put "glasses of wine": Edit: One more because it is cute:

    I don't believe it to be 100% true, but I do believe it is possible. That's kinda how we roll in this thread :) My sources on this would be dubious if I could remember them. Probably dodgy youtube videos, but I remember it making good sense at the time. The purple people were big bronze...

    10 hours for me. Heko's tribulations I know well. When I moved back to this town from Reno, NV, there was 1 choice and that was 1.5 mbit dsl. I was moving to that from 25mbit cable that was rock solid. After several years they started rolling out wireless, so we crept up to 5, then 12, then...

    I'm guessing it would have been one of the florida ports, but that was so long ago who knows? The sea currents and winds might have been totally different back then. The mining was done in minnesota I think?

    The phoenecians were crossing the atlantic and trading for copper the natives were mining. They spread the edge of the world / there be dragons stuff to keep the monopoly going.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I think if humans were to do von N probes they would be all mechanical with silicon thinkers. The vague rumours of the UFO stuff seems like they replace the thinking bits with biological smarts. Would that affect the overall strategy? Like for us, we'd build a fully automated factory capable...

    Summer really sucks for TV reception. I ended up moving the antenna to the other side of the house and right on the edge to maybe avoid metal roof problems. I lost CBS entirely, but gained 3 PBS channels and some strange foxlike channel. TVHeadend is just super flaky. I've gotten good at...
