    Hi-Tech Lo-Life made a video a few months ago giving a run through on how to get TTW working on a steam deck. The good news is that you've already done most of the hard work, assuming you installed it on a PC and it's working properly there.

    If you feel up to installing more mods on top of TTW, I recommend visiting WastelandSurvivalGuide.com and following the guide there. I just got around to installing TTW about a month ago, complete with a functioning TTW installation on my steam deck.

    If you told 18 year old me that some day I'd be able to play Fallout 3 and New Vegas as one character on a handheld device, I think I'd have peed myself just a little out of excitement.

    That's a fair point. I used to ADORE Honeycrisp apples but then I got COVID and they just don't taste quite the same. Nothing else, only Honeycrisp apples. Which makes me wonder if COVID somehow ruined my enjoyment of specifically that one variety of apple or if they coincidentally just dropped off in quality around the same time

    Maybe I'm missing something but in my experience red delicious apples have only ever lived up to half of their name. Did they somehow manage to get worse over the last few years?

    To everyone who tore their hair out getting the torrent working, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    You guys are the best. I had to actively fight the impulse to immediately delete the torrent for once to leave it seeding for others.

    See you all on the next iteration, I hope!

    @teaearlgraycold said he was going to list the map as a download, but I don't personally know what the plan for that is.

    NGL, talking about not wanting your digital pets on a Minecraft server to feel abandoned is making my heart break a tiny bit

    On a more selfish note, I realized that I should probably pull all my gear out of my end chest and throw it in one of my normal chests so anyone that downloads the map can enjoy the fruits of my labors as well. I hope others will do the same lol

    Not the person you were replying to, but anecdotally, Apple phone users are SO. ANNOYING.

    I've lost count of how many times people have asked me why I don't have an iPhone, and when I reply with "I want things Apple has decided aren't important, such as a microSD slot or a headphone jack," I get the identical answer of "why would you want that though? That's dumb."

    I don't really care what phone people want to use, but Apple has seemingly fostered a culture of AGGRESSIVE tribalism where anyone without an iPhone is a lesser human.

    Never mind I've paid for some apps on the Google store that aren't even available on the apple store. I shouldn't keep using the desktop I built myself. I should pay Apple thousands of dollars to get all new electronics and learn an entirely different operating system than the one I grew up with, all because "what kind of idiot still uses Android instead of the clearly superior iPhone"

    I may be a little biased but in my own experiences Apple phone users can be so insulting and aggressive and just plain mean for no real reason other than "apple good everyone else trash"

    Shows up weird on both the Three Cheers app and when I open the link in Firefox

    I'm also on my phone so I don't know if that's the issue

    So...I'm not quite sure what happened

    But I logged on and then lagged out, and when I logged back on apparently I registered as having suffocated in a wall. When I ran back to where I died, both to where my minimap said I died and where I saw that I was when I lagged out, I couldn't find any of my (full netherite) gear....

    Worth noting it was maybe a minute or two between when I lagged out and when I got back to where my stuff should've been and I wasn't able to see anything on my minimap, and I know it shows items.

    @teaearlgraycold, Is there any way to just poof my stuff back into existence?

    For those that didn't hear, I have created a blaze farm in the nether for farming blaze rods and heads.

    Not at my computer right now but I will update this post with the coordinates next time I'm on. I did throw the coords in the farm book at the community center.

    Edit: coords are 191/67/54

    My next project will be making a passage from nether spawn to that area

    Further edit: passageway is finished. I plan on spawn-proofing the area around the spawner a bit; seems like blazes keep spawning in areas that I'd rather they not

    You hopped off before I explored the museum btw

    I audibly went "whoa" when I discovered the excavation. Genuinely impressed; very well done.

    My only question is the [road] entrance to the museum has a giant "access restricted" sign; is that deliberate? I can't tell if the museum is canonically off limits or if it's just under construction at present

    Honestly, this.

    I took guitar lessons for 4-5 years in middle/high school and really never learned much, because I never got to play anything I actually wanted to play. It wasn't until I was an adult that I picked up my guitar and really started learning things.

    Find a song that you really like that sounds fairly simple. Learn how to play that using tabs. Then, find another song that's slightly more difficult. Learn to play that. Find a song even more difficult that requires more complicated techniques you don't know how to do. Watch YouTube videos on how to do those techniques. Rinse wash repeat

    Additionally, at least in my own experience, a great way to force yourself to become better at an instrument is to perform. Find a garage band, join your church's band, maybe just set up on a street corner for a while. For me, the added pressure of knowing other people will hear what I'm playing pushes me to learn and perfect new things. I would never have learned how to read music for bass if I hadn't agreed to join a band and play live semi-regularly
