  • Bethesda accidentally deleted my Fallout 76 account

    Update: I was able to fix the problem and regain access to my character and progress. Here’s how. I had a conversation with #Bethesda Support about unlinking my Xbox Live account and ended the conversation with telling them directly not to do it because they told me it would result in loss of characters/progress/etc. in…

  • I love you more than tuna

    Today is the two-year anniversary of the passing of our favorite cat, Thumper. I picked up a copy of this book a few months ago and hid it on top of the bookshelf. This evening, I pulled it down and my wife and I read it together. Even after two years, it’s hard to comprehend…

  • Live to experience life

    The idea that you need to profit from every activity and experience is incorrect and unhealthy.

  • “Goblin Slayer” anime

    This was an excellent anime adaptation of the #manga. I was really surprised that they didn’t tone down the violence much, and I’m really looking forward to watching “Goblin’s Crown”. The vibe of this anime really reminds me of #Claymore, but it’s not as serious and has less depth, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.…

  • Godzilla was inspired by World War II

    Today, I learned that the original 1954 #Godzilla film and the concept of Godzilla were inspired by the #atomic bombings of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki by the US during World War II. I never really thought about it, but it makes sense.

  • A book about a guy catching a fish

    “Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea I never thought I’d be this interested in a book that is all about a guy on his boat catching a fish.…

  • Solving no audio after loading into a Fallout 76 game

    Short answer at bottom of post I have a set of Bose QC25 headphones that I converted into Bluetooth headphones by attaching a Btunes adapter. This worked fine on my laptop, but when I started using a new desktop I ran into an issue where, after clicking through the start menu, the audio would cut…

  • Being happy with enough

    A lot of the problems we have in the world right now are because people want things that they don’t need, like a new phone every two years for example, and it creates a constant dissatisfaction with the present. I wonder if this is why rich people kill themselves? They have so much, and not…

  • So I’m an ordained minister now

    Apparently this is legit, and I’m an #ordained #minister with the Universal Life Church now. I didn’t realize it was that easy to get this title. It felt like I completed a level 2 quest in an online MMO starter town: “Quest Complete!Title Unlocked: Minister” I’m going to file paperwork with the City Clerk’s office…

  • Sunday Cycling

    It’s been quite a while since I’ve gone out riding on my bicycle. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we basically resolved to stay home as much as possible, like most people did, I imagine. After a few months, we managed to get an indoor stationary bicycle, but it just isn’t the same experience as going…
