Looks good. I had not heard this was coming. I've not been a huge Fallout game fan, but only because of the style of gameplay.

 

I can hardly wait for Halo S2 to drop. I loved S1, but it was WAAAYYY too short.

 

 

This gal does a fantastic impression of the Micro$oft AI voice.

Being "nice, forgiving, retaliatory and clear" works out in the long run. I like this philosophy for life.

 

TLDR: to get ahead be nice to other people, don't hold a grudge, DO NOT be a push over, be clear about your response to good or bad behavior (don't be random).

 Here is some tech that would be a ton of fun to play with, and dangerous if not played with wisely.

 

 

This looks equally fun. I like the propane tanks right after the car door. 🤣

This is a legit email, and the usage percentage is accurate, but I think their AI needs some tuning. The only thing I know of that you can reduce from zero is the temperature. I'm tempted to call customer service and express my interest in learning more about how my 0% credit usage can be reduced, LOL. Does that will mean creditors start giving me money?

[Eban]

Not really sure where to post this. Maybe need a retro section.....anyway

You can get a new C64 mini ITX case (for PC I mean) or a C64/Linux PC......um. Not sold on it.

Hey fellas, this is a less ideal post that will go down in my catalog, but i think it ought to be discussed. Some touchier topics will be discussed, so if you would rather not peer into my personal life, I completely get it.

 

I will edit this with a spoiler here at some point, but I cannot figure out how to add one on mobile. My appologies.

 

 

Last night, on Febuary 6th, 2025, I was leaving a laboratory at my university. There's a sketchy road I must always cross by foot to get to my apartment, and while I thought I could make it, the impatience of man taught me a valuable lesson at a terrible time; Man does NOT win against automobile. The speed limit was 35mph on that road, and the driver did not see me. Luckily, he had an old, intelligently engineered car (a late 90s - early 2000s Chevrolet Cavalier I believe), so I ended up rolling over and on top of the car. I was blessed with some wonderful bystanders, and with the remorse of the driver. 
 

I was carried away on an ambulance and to a hospital that is essentially on the campus of my university. I remember it all clearly, and I've been given every drug known to man it seems. The medical staff here and every gear in this machine has done phenomenal work, and I appreciate every person who has helped me along the way. Luckily, my head and spine are fine, and the only thing that needs repairs is my right leg, where my tibia shattered into multiple pieces. I'm only 18, and I will have to live with a titanium rod in my right leg for the rest of my life... 

 

I'm not inherently a funny individual as I tend to be serious and practical, but during this whole situation, I have tried my absolute hardest to keep my family and friends from stressing all too much. There were times last night and today where I had managed to knock all of the air out of someone's stomach, and successfully bringing light to such a dark situation. 

 

It's a really strange time, and my outlook hasn't changed much. I must keep rolling with the punches and focus on the good instead of the bad. I type this from a hospital bed, expecting a somewhat speedy, but life changing recovery. I don't write this out for any of you to pity me. As a matter of fact, the best thing you all can do is read this as a lesson, and NOT worry about me. I know I'll be fine, so you all spend your energy doing what you guys do best, I hate to be an obstacle in everyone's seemingly jam-packed lives.

 

However, I want this to be a message to you all to keep pushing to be the best person you can. This might sound a bit grim and edgy, but that is not my intent. I also realize it may sound like I am struggling with life, but I want you all to know that, even in my worst times, I have never had a desire to give up. I'm still learning and growing, but right now, I am a man who fears death in its entirety, and want nothing to do with it.

 

As bad as things seem to get, there is always a future, and while it may be impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel, light will always welcome you. It's up to you to have faith in the light, even though you may never see it.

 

Take care of yourselves fellas and keep working to do your magic! Without you all, my life would be so different that I couldn't even fathom explaining it. You guys have enlightened me to some of my greatest passions, and I cannot thank you all enough!

 

I'm usually one to stay anonymous, but I think now is an appropriate time to quit. I might still be naive, who knows, but you guys are either good people, or really good at convincing me the you're not ill-intented. I guess I'll never know!

Hi @TenoroonSorry this happened to you, I want to say do not stick to the first opinion of Doctors, GET 2ND OPINIONS, thats plural, from Professional Sports Doctors, like Pro Football and Pro Hockey Doctors!!! It can make a huge difference in the prognosis, especially at such a young age. I am witness to such being in the construction field injuries abound. The Hospital usually gives a basic prognosis but I have seen complete turnarounds like from being gimped to fully being able to walk and work among my peers. God Speed in your recovery

I'm sorry to hear you got hurt but am glad you're ok. I wish you a speedy recovery!

 

Like me, you are still very young so you will most likely make a quick full recovery along with some physical therapy. Scratch that, you WILL fully recover. Mind over matter. A positive attitude makes a world of difference. Although you don't know any of us here on the forums in real life, we're still here for you and care about you. Good luck in life brother!
