I have a second hand surface still running windows that I draw on. With a paper like screen protector I find it quite pleasant. Mines a 6 I think, runs Krita great I imagine it’d be even better if I ditched windows bloat.

My hands are average so I haven’t had an issue. I bought used and it came with a thumb grip. Also I keep a leather shell case on it, feeds into the retro look and adds some bulk. At no point have I found it uncomfortable and no one else who has picked it up has complained given what I’ve added to it.

You can buy cheap dumb adapters that are just metal rings and transmit no data or more expensive adapters which transmit data and allow autofocus. Buy cheap adapters for any old lenses you want to use and expensive ones when you value the lense tech.

I’ve got a D750 and an XT100. Given the smaller size and the cheaper old lenses I can run the XT has gotten more use in the past few years.

I love Zone of the Enders GBA, it is top tier like Golden Sun 1/2 for me. After that Dragon Quest 3 and Breath of Fire series took so much of my time growing up.

I switched to Kobo so I could download library books directly to the reader. Purchases have worked without issue directly from the ereader and the app to echo the other response.

It took someone pointing it out for me to consider reproductive choice being related societal violence even though I knew choice was better for societal economic outcomes.

Given the shift to confront, stop, and treat all forms of childhood abuse rather than ignore it also had to help. During the satanic panic the administrations stance was to blame mothers for failing to take care of their husbands as the root cause of childhood abuse. They had the data that showed abuse was linked to poverty more than anything else but it was cheaper to blame women. We’re still not in a great place when dealing with childhood abuse but we’re better than that and it has to have done something.

America legalized abortion and banned leaded gas around the same time. Both were credited with lower crime and violence rates in the following decades. Looking at other countries that did not do both so close together it becomes a lot clearer that both made us safer.

I’d also argue that being further removed from WW2 vets and cold warriors with severe PTSD and government mandated drug addictions generally help. Last bit it decidedly my opinion.

Both! Best advice since there’s a couple different types of stones is to drink more water.

To add to this most thrifts stores will have a crockpot or pressure cookers on their shelves.

I’m loving the game, about 18 hrs in. A lot of the complaints are a positive to the right people like system tutorials are “hey this exists, have fun” rather than making you sit through long explanations, you can ignore tons of content if you want. Don’t want to do outposts that’s fine buy or mine yourself, don’t wanna build a ship buy a premade. The game is a Bethesda RPG with a lot of area separate from the main quest, if you wanna explore there’s 1000 planets, if not there’s a handful of really cool ones the quests lead you to.

Performance wise she’s a hungry game. I’m at recommended and I get 50-70 fps, 1080p, medium settings, FSR 2 for most spots. Even when it dips into the 30s I only notice because I have an overlay counter. Few minor bugs and hiccups. If you liked Elder Scrolls or Fallout check it out. Some people will love it for years to come, others will hate it with a passion.

May have something I can try streaming on. I haven’t tried any streaming or remote programs. Thanks for the suggestion, guess I’m behind on what’s out there these days.

I mainly play RPGs and strategy games, Fallout 4 is the most intense game I play right now with plans for Starfield later. My TV is 1080p, don’t know the refresh rate but doubt it’s impressive. I’ve got more budget and was tossing around the idea of a raspberry pi to remote in but figured hard wire would allow for a better experience at lower cost.

I travel for work a lot and I’ve had the best luck with Candlewoods. They’ve been consistently around $100 through my corporate booking program. Otherwise Marriotts are pretty good and my perferred when project budget allows. Comfort Inn, LA Quinta, and Sonestas have all had poor maintenance but been clean enough.

I’ve got a long haired tortie that scares me. If I take a bath she will try to climb on my chest and play with the water. I don’t want to find out what happens if she slips in.

Looks like your card is ~4% worse than the minimum 5700, per Toms Hardware gpu chart. If it was me I’d buy the game, lower the settings, and see what happens. So, officially no but it’s so close you’ve got a shot.

You can also look into renting subsurface locators from someplace like Sunbelt or United Rentals.

Heavy metals and PCBs are most common in my area, various VOCs aren’t far behind. Prior to the EPA and associated legislation companies would commonly use waste process waters for dust control, dump wastes in to pits or on the ground, spills would be left to soak away, and general processes were dirtier and uncontrolled.

One terrible example from western NY that bugs me even more than Love Canal is the involvement with the Manhattan Project. Local steel workers rolled Uranium and they were never told what is was, given any protections, or cared for when the inevitable happened. Radioactive waste was later used as fill for residential and commercial properties in the area. These Hotspot still exist and it is a slow process to get any cleanup done.

I’m really hoping for good energy weapons and heavy weapons. I love heavy and energy weapons but they tend to be a mid or late game thing when I’ve already invested into rifles or something.

You have to be a bit of a masochist to love Paradox which might be why I love Dwarf Fortress too.

I ran medium to high with 2080 super, 32 gigs of ram, and a ryzen 3600. Frames stayed above 60 in most cases drops in the 40s happened in populated areas.
