  It really helps that there’s a quest book to guide you through some of the mods. Otherwise, you’re just searching for recipes in your inventory and hoping for the best.

  I highly recommend playing with a mod pack on a return playthrough. You can still do all of the vanilla stuff, but the experience is also expanded upon with things like steam quarries, programmable mining bots, digitized wireless storage, blood magic, dimensional travel, and cozy kitchens with in-depth cooking.

  I used to drive pretty hard into Feed The Beast, but All The Mods seems to have taken over it. The big thing with these packs is making all the mods play nice with each other, so they can share resources and be cross compatible.

  I recall one pack where the world was a wasteland. All the ores were depleted, and the oceans were toxic. You had to figure out how to try to grow crops, make survival gear to explore, and eventually make mystical crops that could produce tiny bits of ores that you could harvest.

  Somehow, our gaming habits keep overlapping. I just started playing Minecraft again a few days ago. However, I’m playing “All The Mods 10”. I’ve been focusing on creating an aesthetically pleasing factory this time. So far, I have a cozy house with a workshop. My mineshaft is behind the house, and it’s my starter shack converted into a garden shed.

  If you feel tempted to try Star Citizen, just go play Elite:Dangerous. You’ll have a much better experience for a fraction of the cost, and still get to do all the things you were hoping to do in SC.

  If you suddenly remember you’ve been paying for Nitro, the cancel button is in the subscriptions tab (not the Nitro tab).

  Add obscenities to your search for the most optimized results. It drops the AI component and seems to provide the more direct results we used to get.

  They e also flat out said it will be a long time before they even consider a 2nd version. Performance efficiency and battery tech need to make some leaps to make it practical.

  Steam Deck 2 isn’t coming for a long time. Steam Deck OLED is still more than viable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people are relying on income-driven repayment due to high interest rates and inflated tuition costs. IDR reduces your monthly payment to a fixed percentage of your income, but it does not scale the interest generated on the principle. The new SAVE plan was intended to scale the interest along with the monthly payment so your debt wouldn’t keep piling up due to being on IDR.

  Trump is removing all forms of IDR and blocking applications to renew existing plans, which means everyone will be forced to pay their full monthly amount (which is based on a 10 yr payoff plan). A lot of newer student loans are close to ~$100K or more, so imagine trying to pay that off in 10 yrs in the current job market.

  Prepare for mass defaults on loans. This is absolutely going to crash the economy, and will very likely be worse than the housing market crash in ~2009.

  I’m not a fan of Meta, but all of my international family rely heavily on WhatsApp.

  It also seems that Signal supports VoIP calling, but I have not tried it.

  I’ve seen another desperate option of hammering a screwdriver or a long punch through the can, and then twisting off with a pipe/cheater.

  Tin snips would be a better option if you just absolutely can’t get it off.

  Definitely. SmartTube is better designed for TVs , while ReVanced is better for touchscreens. Both integrate ad blocking, Sponsorblock, and a bunch of QoL features.

  If it can Firefox, you can add the UBlock Origin plugin

  PiHole

  I have many games I own on Steam that I can play portably from a flash drive without Steam. DRM is still on the developer.
