    Slightly offtopic, but the Mind Flayer spider looks what I'd imagine Sanderson's chasmfiend appears as in Stormlight Archives.

    I've come to accept I will never operate a motorized vehicle. I will never swim. I will never do a bunch of those multitasking actions because I am limited. I was born with it and no amount of trying and hard work will fix something that wasn't broken in the first place. I'd just be torturing myself. It's difficult to accept that failure as a core part of oneself, but this what I am. For all the guys struggling with xxy, some of us may look unaffected, but we still carry that burden in many different ways.

    My friend and I (once MCU fans, now busy with other things) are utterly confused about what's happening. They are just shoehorning old characters back to the spotlight and it reeks of desperation. Reusing old soundtrack motifs from the Infinity War trailer. Implying that the past 5 years of MCU slop (with a few exceptions) haven't happened. It just feels directionless.

    Murtagh by Paolini and To Green Angel Tower part 1 by Tad Williams. Paolini still has much to learn, although his foray into SF with TSIASOS is much much better.

    I have been using it as a client side mod on a pure vanilla server. It loads all chunks that were previously loaded sans the mod. Awesome performance on an old 2020 laptop with gtx1650. I've never actually used DH so I can't compare.

    Or maybe do it like Hermitcraft with player icons rather than dots?

    This has been my case as well, although I still get an acne outbreak if I consume any high fat dairy.

    I second this as I had an identical issue. I couldn't even install Steam games on that drive until I formatted it to ext4.

    I have rewatched the entirety of Third Watch, a show I only sporadically watched when I was a kid. What an absolute treat. The main cast is superb, but my favorite will always be Bosco.

    Managed to finally set up BeamNG on Linux Mint with the Logitech G29 steering wheel with pedals and a shifter. It's been a real joy.

    I've mostly been playing creative in my singleplayer forever world. I would also be fine with the server starting later that sooner, but it's mostly because my creative energy is mostly depleted after work as the project I'm currently on requires a lot of creative thinking. Not much is left for Minecraft.

    As for the mods, I'm a generally vanilla player so it's really unimportant what my opinion is on the matter. Whatever works for you guys is okay with me.

    Lastly, my build will be even smaller this time around as that's the type of build that makes me the happiest. I realized that while I was producing my singleplayer showcase series on youtube. Small is doable, big is burnout accelerator. I'm not sure what I'll build though. o7

    "Smoke on the water, fire in the sink." by Deep Purple. As an 11 year old kid I thought it was a song about a kitchen fire. No internet back then to check the actual lyrics.

    Bekim Sejranovic's Nigdje, Niotkuda. This one was recommended to me as we partially share the same writing style. It is a deeply flawed novel with a few bright spots in an otherwise drab semi autobiographical chronological jumble. Next on is his Your Son Huckleberry Finn.

    In which situation would you use an alpha clamp fabricated by Tünkers? Light deformable workpieces or heavy duty components?

    (Mechanical design engineering - alphas are for heavy duty application due to the immense force they exert as they can bend the clamping unit, but also the workpiece as well.)
