  • Unless things change drastically for their RPG division, I'll repeat what I've said since oblivion. Bethesda makes great modding platforms, the content within the game is a loose theme that modders can play with.

    Yes the new Fallouts are just TES in the Apocalypse.

    Yes starfield is little more than TES in space.

    I buy Bethesda games for mod potential.

    If they said no mods to all future games I wouldn't buy another one. I don't play ESO and I have never touched fallout 76 for this reason.








  • Thank you for differentiating.

    The original "skin head" movement was mostly factory workers in Britain who cut their hair short (not necessarily shaved bald) for safety around equipment, and some of the most popular music among the group was stuff by "rude boys" Jamaican primarily I believe.

    It was working class solidarity with no intentions of racism.

    The neo Nazi groups coopted the term, and delved into punk music to find disenfranchised people who would buy into their rhetoric.

    There are also other skin head groups that exist today - SHARP for example, standing for SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice.

    Espouse hateful rhetoric around these guys and you're liable to wind up on the wrong side of a brick to the head.

    Why do I know all this? I have a penchant for research, and in the past few years I've been shaving my head because I decided to own my thinning hairline instead of have some ridiculous comb over type shit and hide it.

    I have had an encounter with a racist white dude at a 711, and he's ranting at the cashier and looks to me and said "Right brother?!". No, it was absurdly horrible (misguided) and I threatened to call the cops if he didn't leave the store and hopefully the neighborhood. He left when he realized he didn't have any support.





  • In my case, and this the US, I had friends who smoked.

    I was curious, bummed one, and once I got past the coughing I really enjoyed the effects, that said by the time you no longer get the “high” (for lack of a better word) you’re addicted.

    Fast forward 20 years and I’m still trying to quit.

    Quit for 5 years cold turkey, but… Shit went down in almost every facet of my life, and I went back.

    But I’m down to about a pack a week.

    One in the morning, one on the road to work, and one or two during my shift if time allows.

    Just need to kick it for good.

    Edit: To correct typos


  • Kali was built out as a penetration testing distro, though it does contain some diagnostic tools.

    Not a bad place to start if you’re used to Debian, but it is a rolling release so it may break unexpectedly, or have new bugs introduced with each update.

    A persistent USB with just Debian could have all the same tools installed but have a longer support scope on releases so you don’t have to update daily (bleeding edge) which is nice to reduce read/writes to the flash drive it’s on.

    That being said, I keep a Kali live image (persistent) but thats becauae its home - my first introduction to Linux was 5 minutes with Red Hat, but aside from a brief intro in highschool, I really started with Linux in Backtrack, offensive security’s predecessor to Kali.

    Yes, I have to learn things the hard way lol.
