  • If you accidentally deleted your Fallout76 account by unlinking…

    Then there’s a really simple way to fix it. Two weeks ago, I realized that I had two Bethesda accounts. My Steam account was linked to one and my Xbox account was linked to another. I needed to consolidate them so that I could switch from playing Fallout 76 on Xbox for PC to Steam.…

  • I finally found out why my WordPress is so slow on DreamHost

    I’ve had DreamHost Shared hosting for about 9-10 years. For the first 5-6 years, everything was great, but then my site started to slow down. After years of trying different things, I think I’ve finally figured out what the issue was, and it doesn’t really make any sense to me, but it works, so I’m…

  • Compassionate use of force

    “You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them – for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.” Dalai Lama XIV

  • Dune sequel books contain really complex themes and ideas

    I’m surprised by how well the story has held up, considering that it was written in the 70s. I need to reread the part about the transformation in the desert, because I’m not sure how or if that really fit into the story’s world. It felt more like magic than science or evolution. The author…

  • 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.…
