I hit a wall at some point, the difficulty seemed to have ramped up or I was super weak.

Probably my stats and bad weapon and skill choices and I had not picked up certain items and pictos.

I left the game for a few months and picked it up again, started over and I just finished it now, about 30 minutes ago.

I’ll admit I used some build guides and it helped me along, I wanted to finally finish the game without struggling as much as I did before.

I tested a few launchers that were not to my liking, and then I settled on Lawnchair.

I might change at some stage, but so far it’s working for me.

Hot sap.

I saw some article mention that there has not been a Half-Life game in ages… completely forgetting about Alyx.

I’m just hoping for some good games moving forward that aren’t trying to milk us for everything we have with slop we don’t want.

Why Half-Life 3 can never be made.

I don’t think I ever watched that show… but I know that soundtrack.

It’s bugging me now because I don’t know where I heard it from, maybe I heard it a few times when it was on the TV as a kid.

Bruh, I used to play Team Fortress Classic.

Same, also a Nova refugee using Lawnchair.

One thing I don’t like though, is if you change the homescreen grid size it destroys everything and you have to start over with your homesdreen icons.

UBlock Origin works for me in Firefox, but the last time YouTube was at war with adblockers I had to retore default settings in uBlock every few days.

I can’t remember the process but I think I had to reset the settings and do something with the lists.

You can also try a desktop app like Freetube. There is no algorithm through, if you are looking for that. It sometimes breaks when YouTube makes changes and everything is stored locally, so you have to back up your subscriptions if you plan on reinstalling Windows at some stage.

See if you can default uBlock Origin, that method worked before.

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin and for the last week or more every Youtube video I open takes about 10 or so seconds to open, just sitting there spinning.

Nah, he gives me that creepy feeling.

He has that creep factor.

The reason I don’t buy booze and limit snack buying… if it’s in my house it is going to be consumed quickly.

It’s like a challenge, it’s there, it will be consumed.

Skunks are cool.

Cyclist meets family of skunks

Not me, but I used to work a role at a company that provided IT services and hardware/support.

We had a team that sat right behind me, basically they supported customer accounts, and they got a new team leader/manager.

She came in on a Friday I believe and the rest of the team were out, Thursday night is party night so most people worked from home Friday.

The next week comes in, IT puts all her equipment on her desk, she isn’t there. The next day or so comes around and she isn’t there but her team is and someone else strolls over to chat. He mentions he heard they got a new lady boss, where is she?

I say she was in last week, I saw her.

“Is she a looker?”

… this bloody place. Asks nothing about her other than her looks.

Later that week IT comes along and collects her equipment, she had left in under a week. I have no idea what happened but that was the quickest I have seen someone leave and on average we had a very short staff turnover time.

I’ve always found him to be creepy, just got that feeling from him.

I cringe every time I see him.

Battlefield 4.

Aren’t one of the images flipped?

This way around?

Lore maybe?

There are often a lot of communities that love reading into the lore of characters, even shooters. Overwatch is a good example of this.

I have a lot of domains on my lists, I imported quite a few. So to be fair I may be the one causing the issues.

I may just disable the ones I imported for a while and see if anything changes.

Looking at the screenshots, it looks like you can manage some lists and apply block and allows.

But yes, what is the difference? He literally says NextDNS is basically a Saas Pi-Hole.

Sounds like this is just an advert for NextDNS. Who keeps breaking their Pi-Hole and how?

EDIT

Looks like Pi-Hole just got an update, the UI looks a bit different.

I’ve disabled all my adlists but the default one, gone from 600k+ domains down to 125k. I’ll see if it improves things.

I’ve got a friend coming over who complains about my connection, she uses Apple products where I have Windows and my phone is Android and it seems to cause her problems. She is also constantly on Facebook, Instagram and a few other platforms that rely on spying on you. So she is a great test as well.

Mine has not broken exactly, but some sites just break.

As in I cannot click the buttons to decline or accept cookies or scroll the page. I’ll have to open my Pi-Hole’s page and disable blocking for a few seconds and refresh the broken page.

I know it has worked when the page dims and the buttons are more in focus. Decline, site works again.
