what a better opening for infultration
whats a better opening for infiltration?****
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i mean disclaimer i would just concentrate on good chess principles first e.g. control the center with pawns, get knights and bishops to good squares, castle don't really need any opening knowledge for that
but anyway to answer your question if you want some aggressive gambits a well-known one is the Stafford gambit i mean you can't get a stafford gambit every game but it's a common one, if you're playing black pieces, they play e4 you play e56 e5* >>>/watch?v=eIecRRl1cfc
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
that video presents too many lines at once there are more sedate videos that will present how to get into a stafford gambit
if you're playing white, a good opening is the Ponziani which gets a lot of pieces in the center for chaos
That's not really accurate There's a strong, vocal minority of older fans who aren't impressed with how lazy Game Freak has gotten with the franchse And critically, they are pretty bad games, so you won't see many reviews favouring them positively But there's a reason the games haven't really innovated much at all for several generations now, no matter how much the angry voices shout, and no matter what middling reviews the games get, the main series games still sell like absolute fucking hotcakes Especially for younger players, the faults of the games aren't really something they're set to critically evaluate, but even with teens and early adults, nostalgia can help pave over what would otherwise be miserably lazy game design and horribly coded and unoptimized releases Pokemon is 100% one of those "The people who enjoy it are just happy keeping to themselves while the dissatisfied fans are the ones making a fuss" situations

Shoulda just told 'em when your first impression of someone is they're offering armor trimming out in the wilderness for free, you take that as a red flag

Really though I think they're just trying to be social and inclusive here Like, they're not being malicious or trying to prey on your social pitfalls That's stuff most people will just casually talk about with people they're comfortable around
Sure I know that. They were just including me in the group discussion.
And I think they also genuinely want to get a male perspective on some of their anecdotes.
See, I've got 'em all fooled. They don't know Maybe I go out on lots of dates in my free time.
I don't hold it against them. Just kind of funny because they're definitely barking up the wrong tree trying to get my Hot Take on that stuff.

ive got a herniated tendon in my neck that just shreds and unravels into a collagen nightmare that wraps around my bones and compicates things i wanna go to the doctor but my medicaid card hasn't arrived yet? they sent it out twice but idk where the heck it's at i hope i'm not leaking cerebrospinal fluids it's bad enough leaking gender fluids

i dunno maybe medicaid scares me ever since michigan that was such a nightmare that i never went back to a doctor or tried to get medicated since
im very avoidant of healthcare and i can't think about it for very long
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i feel you on that its fuckin terrifying all this shit
moon
im kinda afraid that what i think is collagen IV, or possibly aponeuroses from damaged tendons, the stringy stuff that's winding around and spilling all over my body might actually be sloughed off muscle tissue or muscle fibers
because it contracts and squeezes real hard and stretches/expands one time it wrapped around my trachea and then started twisting it around counterclockwise and i thought it was gonna choke me but sadly it didn't
it's everywhere. it's gone through my throat and up into my sinuses where it spools out from my tear ducts or my nose and it's not like i can cut it or sever it or anything. it's either microscopically thin and can't really be cut or it's an amorphous liquid that just blobs back together which makes me think it's probably collagen or elastin and proteins unfold and shit it's invisible too so if i go to the doctor and say hey doc i got this invisible muscle tissue writhing out of my skin and it's all over the place can you help me out? he's gonna think i'm hallucinating "you tried to cut your muscle tissue with a pair of scissors? why?"
yeah it's just not gonna work out probably

I have acquired the generator magazine, my zomboid run is looking good
Now I just need, ideally, one more generator, or at least a gasoline trailer I can use to store gas I've already found a water tank, but well, it'll still need to be purified
Anno
there's always one on deck, at the ready if need be, that can be running without much attention paid to it. A real set it and forget it.
I guess it helps having first hand knowledge about all things gas related. If you were to have an other generator. Might even be able to accomplish that before the next server patch update.
S C
well yes usually I have a generator at a gas station, just turn it on when I fill up, then turn it back off again to conserve gas (and not have to carry gas back for when I need more gas) and also to avoid zombies swarming the gas station making me have to clear them out again But the loot is so rare in this, I'm unlikely to find a second generator until I'm moving to louisville, since there's guaranteed 4 or so generators in and directly outside the military checkpoint
Anno
I don't know how many update patches they do before the next season, but it's good to know that you have a back generator at a moments notice.
Anyways, was looking into eve online and this bunk laptop might run it after all.
AND this guy got banned from the game because apparently - allegedly - when scrounging money together he sold all his in game items/gold through real-world-trading which is against the rules.
watching a guy on youtube play a 100 days in Louisville with max zombies challenge, and he found a PRISTINE car, all nearly 100% condition ...and he broke the driver-side window to get in AAAAAAAAAAAA
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the urge to destroy reigns
S C
well it's fine to break a window to get in But usually you break the passenger side, because uh, zombos can attack you through an open\missing window And you're obviously gonna be sitting on the driver side
Guess my ass is finally moving to Louisville on this character as well What's a bit rough is I'm lugging this big damn barrel of fuel with me, but I have no guarantees as to how long it'll take me to clear out a gas station to secure more fuel, so I have to bring it with me My armored cop van is fully loaded with guns, foodstuffs, random junk, and seeds
It's gonna be an exciting time, and my skills are now actually high enough to confidently take on the challenge
S C
looking at the car though, the tires seem a little... busted Which is not ideal
Hopefully they last me until I get to my destination, or at least close to it
This modpack really adds so much fun stuff I was just looting a liquor store, as you do cause alcohol is a remarkably versatile substance in an apocalypse, and I found a wine AND a beer making kit I haven't opened the boxes yet so I dunno what's in there, but if I can make my own wine, that'll be fuckin' sick Beer too I suppose But wine is certainly more useful, it's got higher alcohol and of course also more calories I think Maybe beer is higher calories
why does everyhing have attached caps now it started with coca cola and now it's everything AAAA though actually this one on this oatmilk carton is pretty good It's functional
Do crops wither on the stalk in Zomboid? I rarely get to the point where I feel pressured to start gardening and I've never lasted to the point where they finish growing anyway Although I think they've mentioned a minor farming overhaul is set for the next major update do -so maybe this information isn't relevant since I'm holding off until it comes out to play more
S C
they can yeah they also get diseased if they get sprayed with zombie blood, or trampled by zombies
The next update's farming is gonna go CRAZY I can't fucking wait I wanna actually get to do all those recipes you can get, since as things are you won't ever really get to do stuff like make bread yourself, since... I mean, why on earth are you making bread within the first month? You should be using that time to get yourself secured and ready
Current actual endgame cooking is literally just veggie and rabbit soup\stew, with some fish thrown in which is also the early game cooking What I'm trying to say is that's the entirety of the actual cooking anyone ever does or gets to do
I mean MOST of those crops are modded in In basegame there's like... I think 6 crops? But nobody ever grows anything other than cabbages and potatoes cause cabbages can be used to bait traps, and potatoes are relatively high calorie yield, and they last fucking forever even when not frozen
Like even out in the shops and stuff, after everything's rotted, you'll find fresh potatoes on occasion But you don't really get to do much with any of it You just get to make progressively better soups, and eventually you get to make soups with rotted stuff as well It's JUST ALL SOUPS I wanna make cookies, and bread, and borgir And cheese You know, get myself set up so I've got some creature comforts, but because until next update there are none animals, you can't do anything other than a fully vegan diet combined with canned goods, which will run out sooner or later ...well, not actually. In base settings, you will not actually run out of canned carnivore foods, but I'm playing with loot a lot more rare cause it means I actually gotta go out more and really scrounge for stuff
I haven't even gotten a sledgehammer yet Man I want a sledgehammer, just so I can rearrange my base a bit, cause it's got no living room I might just take the house next door, it's got a fireplace as well, but then I gotta move all my shit, too, and set up a new safety perimeter
I gotta go hit up a clothing store soon too Winter Is Coming, and I don't have warm clothes, nor a fireplace or antique oven, I might freeze in my own damn house Which isn't ideal Alternatively I could spend some time setting up the house next door to be part of a larger compound instead of going between them Hm, that might be a good idea actually

Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
they had to do it so they could see since they did it laparoscopically so tiny incisions and then some sort of crazy maneuvers to get shit settled apparently the surgery was way harder than they expected they said my right hernia was so much worse than they thought that it turned a 30 minute procedure into a 1.5 hour long procedure they had to intubate me so my throat is raw and they had to give me a catheter so it hurts to pee but the gas is by far the worst part

glad that hard parts done, on the up and up moe/!
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
apparently my right hernia was also fucking with my balls somehow and whatever they did to remove it involved them so my balls are all swollen like fucking baseballs
i wont actually know what they did to me for like 2 weeks until the follow up appointment i think i have a titanium mesh in my abdominal wall now? or multiple meshes
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i also freaked out the nurses after i came out of my anesthesia lol they asked me how i was feeling and at first i could only manage one word at a time and i was like "cognitive function seems like it's within normal limits " apparently really slowly and the nurse was like what the fuck are you talking about
the meshes would be permanent yeah thats how they stop me from getting inguinal hernias again because they were caused by holes in my abdominal walls, they just pulled everything out and sealed up the holes i think
>>1112403 lol i usually think like that but i usually have the wherewithal not to talk like that
i have some titanium in my wrist from when i broke it i had the option to have a second surgery to get it removed after healing but i was like fuuuck that

is titanium mri safe?
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
titanium won't mess with an MRI so there's really no harm in keeping it ive heard of situations where titanium implants break and that can hurt but it's usually an easy fix and them breaking is ridiculously unlikely
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
yeah there's no point I guess

yea titanium is fine i've been through plenty of metal detectors etc if there was a problem the doctors would've mad e me take it out

>In today’s world, the focus of cyberattacks is ransomware, not control system hacks meant to cause damage. However, on Nov. 25, 2023, the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania had one of their booster stations’ Unitronics programmable logic controllers (PLCs) hacked by an Iranian-backed cyber group - CyberAv3ngers. The booster station monitors and regulates pressure for 6,615 customers in Aliquippa and portions of Hopewell Township, Potter Township and Raccoon Township. CyberAv3ngers claims to be an active group focused on targeting Israeli water and energy sites, including 10 water treatment stations in Israel as of Oct. 30, 2023, according to their X page.
A booster station is designed for automatic operation, not to hold personal information. An alarm went off as soon as the hack had occurred, as the hackers apparently wanted to be found. The automation system has since been disabled.
The Aliquippa case may not be a one-off attack against a small water utility, as the hack was against a control system vendor supplying a cost-effective system that is used in control systems at many critical infrastructures systems, not just water utilities like Aliquippa. A search of the Unitronics website shows it supplies control systems to many types of organizations, not just water utilities. This makes real-time information sharing all the more critical. From a Nov. 27, 2023, Shodan search on Unitronics systems, there are more than 220 Unitronics systems in the U.S. and more than 1800 worldwide. One wonders who else has been hacked, or when they will be attacked? Imagine what damage could accrue if the attack targeted other control system suppliers.
Members of the Pennsylvania state police were called to the booster station to begin a criminal investigation. The FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have joined the investigation. Unfortunately, the initial government response to this 2023 cyberattack appears to mirror what happene
I'm downloading a whole fuckin' modpack called lost legacy It's fucking huge, but a lot of it is high quality models and textures I imagine But it really seems to overhaul the game and improve a lot of the stuff in the game that gets a bit stinky
For one, it SEEMS to actually make magic viable and fun Which in and of itself is reason enough to try it, cause OH MY GOD magic sucks in base skyrim
S C
of course, this is using a third party program to do the actual downloading and staging, which means I'm doing that in a virtual machine, as it's a windows program and stuff But I've set it up so I should be able to just import that over once it's done with minimal issues
holy shit it even has the staff of shalidor mod, I remember that It's a little house inside a staff, portable (though obviously technically speaking using the staff teleports you after saving your location, but that's details) hopefully it's a bit more difficult to get in this modpack, cause it's absurdly powerful and by default laughably easy to get, since it spawns on the bridge over the little creek right outside whiterun
S C
I am a little worried about whether all the ENB shit will actually work though But presumably there's some way to force it to if it doesn't work right out of the gate
the level 99 secret boss release on nyaa has the wrong subtitles Like, it's from something else entirely, I thought it was just misaligned timewise, but it's just for something else lmao
