HeyYou

Are you using scrap everything? Though I think that is more apparent in interior cells.

Possible that you have two separate problems there. First one looks like one of your texture mods didn't load properly..... (though it isn't the color I would expect for that event.....) Second one looks like some variety of 'area marker' is still turned on. Either that, or some kids on ATV's made it into your game.......

125 rounds per second is 7500 rounds per minute. It IS a chain gun after all. Not sure how you would restrict its fire rate though....

Dell is usually pretty good about that kind of thing.... Using some older drivers might be a good first attempt.

Is your keyboard still responding when the shortcuts stop working??

It wants a 'minimum' 300 watt power supply..... What's in your refurbished system?

True, but, if you ask a question you don't think you are going to like the answer to, try not to act surprised when you get an answer you don't like. :D

The game already knows if you are wearing power armor, as it removes everything else you are wearing.... including eyeglasses....... Now, can that be exposed via script? That, I don't know.

Exactly I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this awful stuttering, but it's more frequent when I'm outdoors in skyrim, when I'm in a dungeon for example the stuttering happens in a much lesser extent That would imply its a data-throughput issue, and the SSD would be more likely to alleviate it.

Mainly because it is illegal for our government to set up such a system. The reasoning being: If the government DOES decide it wants to forcibly take away our firearms, giving them a list of everyone who owns one, is just a bad idea. However,..... Handguns are required to be registered. Long guns, are not. Long guns, in general, are used in right about 3% of gun crime. I don't think anyone keeps track of whether a weapon used in a crime, assuming it is even recovered... was in the legal possession of the shooter though. According to this though, 90% of criminals that used a gun, did not buy it from a retail source..... That would tend to imply that a 'national registry' wouldn't really make any difference. Considering that handguns account for almost 97% of gun crime, and they are ALREADY required to be registered...... it appears obvious to me, that criminals that want a gun, will get one, regardless of what laws they are breaking. The dems/liberals just don't seem to be able to figure that out though, and come up with more new, and inventive, ways, to make it harder for folks to purchase firearms. Of course, that has zero effect on the criminals....... And then we have this study, that essentially shows that stricter gun laws have no meaasurable affect on violent crime rates...... There are a LOT of guns in the US. So many, that attempting to register each and every one, would be impossible. Wouldn't matter what penalties you attached to possession of a non-registered firearm..... the laws would be pretty much unenforceable. The situation is what it is. Is there room for improvement? You bet. Is our government approaching it from the correct angle? Nope. Not even remotely. We don't enforce all the laws on the books as it is now, adding more laws that we don't/can't enforce isn't going to change anything.

From everything I am seeing, Windows 10 is already out on ARM devices, but, mostly portable devices. (surface pro x) And while the ARM processors seem to have a performance advantage over intel-based chips, a fair few of the applications that businesses want, aren't compiled for ARM.... So, there is an emulation layer, initially only for 32 bit apps. Of course, given the additional layer, performance of these apps suffered..... and actually ran better on chips they were originally designed for. (no surprise there.) Supposedly, a 64 bit emulator came out toward the end of 2020, but, I didn't dig into that too far..... Apples seems to want to switch ALL of their hardware to arm based...... From what I found, there is a performance, and power usage advantage to be had by doing so. For portable devices, I can see the advantages. But, for us Windows folks, who mostly play on desktop machines, arm-based gaming is going to be problematic. First, are the game companies going to recompile their games for the new architecture? Or are we going to be stuck running an emulator, and lose ALL the performance advantages of arm-based computing? While it MIGHT happen, eventually.... I don't see it happening any time soon

Why not both? :) Vid card would be a nice performance improvement, but, will it solve the problem? Good question....

you play Survival Mode ? you take weight incombered damage for some reason Ah, that's why. I don't do survival mode.

Only if the "cover" is considered as a cover by the engine. Many glass roofs type elements are not considered as cover, or at least raindrops are bugging through the glass frequently. If I got something wrong please correct me. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/36127 Most of the stuff I use for construction is added by mods in any event..... I don't recall if rain comes thru my greenhouses or not. :) But then, I have "always clear weather" installed as well.

Doesn't Ambient Occlusion turn off rain in 'covered' areas???

What are you taking damage from??? I don't think I have ever been damaged BY the station I was working at...... Of course, having unfriendlies show up while I am doing something else is a right pain......

I suppose a more accurate question would be: How do you propose to "reduce" guns? Limit how many folks can own? (yeah, that'll work..... uh huh...) Ban specific types of weapons? (that's definitely a ban) Ban specific classes of weapons?? (yeah, that's a ban too.) How would you even enforce that??? The number of guns, greater than one, folks own is simply irrelevant. After all, all it takes is ONE. Those cities had high crime. They passed laws banning guns. (some banned them altogether, others, just certain types.) Gun crime still increased. Washington DC was the murder capitol of the US for quite some time. The gun bans were declared unconstitutional, and guess what, crime went DOWN. Nothing seems to have any affect in Chicago....... And the 'assault weapons ban'? It had zero effect on gun crime. So, now you want to prevent folks from buying weapons because they MIGHT become ill? Are you any relation to George Orwell? Got news for ya. It is ALREADY ILLEGAL FOR MENTALLY ILL FOLKS TO OWN/POSSESS FIREARMS. That mechanism is ALREADY in place. It just doesn't work....... Privacy laws come into play here. Doctors are legally prevented from passing on that information to relevant agencies.... Today, we have 'Red Flag" laws.... Anyone can call the cops, say "X person is dangerous", and off the cops go to confiscate their weapons. No due process whatsoever. And it is basically impossible to get your weapons back once the cops have 'em. There are legal challenges to those laws working their way thru the courts, even as I type. Remains to be seen if they pass the test of time. Reminds me a lot of the Civil forfeiture laws that many police agencies make big bucks on. You don't have to be convicted of anything at all, or even CHARGED, and the cops can confiscate your property, on the mere suspicion that you acquired them illegally. (directly, or indirectly.....) No due process. And trying to get them back? Good luck with that. Rarely, if ever, happens. Even if you never are charged, or if you actually go to court, and are acquitted, it can be years before you get your property back. If ever. For the longest time, violent crime was on a downward trend. Only recently (last 5-10 years) has it started to increase again. Gun laws haven't gotten any looser..... but, society has certainly changed. Just look at the types of gun crime that are on the rise, to nicely illustrate that........ So, is it a gun problem? Or is it a people problem??

"better" is an extremely relative term in those circumstances. I highly doubt you would notice any difference whatsoever in performance. Going from a mechanical HDD, to some variety of SSD though, is a MAJOR improvement.

Game developers make games for the most common operating system. Windows. Windows represents almost 80% of desktop operating systems. OS/X hovers around 15% or so. Linux is down there in single digits. Not to mention that most games require DirectX to function.... which is only found (natively) on windows based machines. Sure, there may be billions of devices out there using ARM architecture, but, those are not what I would even remotely consider 'gaming' devices in the terms that desktops are. Is it coming though? Maybe. Certainly not any time soon though.

It is already illegal to sell firearms to folks with mental issues. Trouble is, that information isn't really available to law enforcement, so, unless someone has been convicted of a crime related to their mental illness, the cops don't know. Therefore, the background check system doesn't know. What is the difference between 'reducing' guns, and banning them? Who determines who can own what? Or how many? Targeting gun collectors is pointless. They collect guns, most of which, they NEVER fire. Attempting to implement a system of this nature would simply add to government bureaucracy, costing the taxpayers even more money, (or, the government spending more money that they don't have...... which they seem excessively good at here....) and you can bet a whole host of organizations would fight such a system tooth and nail, on constitutional grounds. (and win.....) The whole problem here is, Laws only affect the law-abiding. Criminals, by their very definition, are NOT law-abiding, so it really doesn't matter what laws you pass, it simply is not going to reduce gun crime at all. Look at Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore Maryland, Los Angeles California. All cities with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, and also some of the highest rates of gun crime in the nation.......

Scrap everything does that........ You can scrap pretty much whatever you want. I have found very few items that I CAN'T scrap.....

I would point out that the democrats are the ones that want to ban guns, so, is it any surprise that most gun owners are republicans? (conservatives) And most republicans are white, so again, I don't see any correlation there. Innocent people die every day. Not just from being shot. There is zero proof that removing the guns would reduce the number of deaths. Would it reduce the number of GUN deaths? Sure, provided you could find a way to get them all. (impossible.) Innocents would still die, just by different methods. And if you want to bring up 'mass shootings', don't bother. Given the number of folks that die here every year, they are statistically non-existent. If mass shootings are what concern you the most, then there is already a solution available, Ban Gun-Free zones. Or maybe you hadn't noticed that most mass-shootings (which doesn't include gang related activity, as EveryTownForGunSafety DOES include in their stats) occur in gun free zones. And why is that? Because the cowards that go on shooting sprees, want to go someplace that they KNOW very few, if anyone at all, will be able to SHOOT BACK! We don't need to run our schools into fortresses, (prisons) we just need to take away that big sign that says "Come here and kill all you want, no one will stop you, till the police show up, and even then, they will take their time about coming in." You can discount my arguments. That's fair. I discount most of yours as well. :D

Hhhmmm...... The stats on gun ownership vary pretty dramatically, depending on who you ask. I suspect there is some 'drift' in the numbers, as a selection of gun owners simply won't admit to anyone that they actually have one. (legally, or not.) You can't go from public records either, as 'long guns' are not required to be registered. The seller runs the background check, and if you pass, you buy a gun. End of paper trail. If you look at this chart, 42% (or thereabouts) of HOUSEHOLDS have at least one gun. This chart gives a state by state breakdown of ownership. Notice that the numbers vary pretty widely, depending on population concentration in various states. (red state/blue state plays a role there as well..... some states severely restrict gun ownership, others, not so much.) Something else to consider is, these show numbers of LEGAL gun ownership...... There would be a significant jump if illegal weapons were included. I wonder about the accuracy of the first chart, given how it bounces around pretty dramatically from year to year. I am REAL curious how that works.... In my mind, that should be a MUCH smoother curve, but hey, I have no clue what they based their numbers on. Also, the number of background checks submitted in recent years has skyrocketed. I seriously doubt that those are ALL current owners, purchasing another weapon. (though I would imagine the bulk of them are.) As for accidental deaths.... Guns don't even make it into the top ten. Sure, guns are deadly. But, so are cars.... Doctors kill somewhere between 250,000 and 450,000 people each year in the US, yet I don't hear anyone suggesting we ban doctors...... Alcohol kills around 95,000 people per year, tobacco is responsible for around 480,000 deaths per year. (just in the US, world wide, it's around 7 million.......) But, we haven't banned tobacco yet either. We tried it once with alcohol, and that didn't work out very well. Assuming we would be 'safer' if guns were banned, really isn't accurate. It is impossible to simply remove all the firearms in the US. There is no way it could be done. The only thing it would accomplish is removing firearms from the law-abiding. (of course, it would create a whole new class of criminals as well, those who refused to give up their legally purchased arms.....) The criminals would still have theirs, still be able to get more, and would be emboldened by the fact that it was unlikely their victims would be armed. And then we have the whole 'gun culture' of the US. THAT is something that europeans just don't seem to be able to understand. Our country was founded on that fundamental right, and we are rather reluctant to give up ANY of our rights.

Wow. Just..... Wow..... Apparently, no, I don't get your message. Unless it is something along the lines of: "Guns bad." I asked you for a solution, you didn't offer anything at all. Now, you are painting us all with a broad brush as deluded NRA adherents that don't know what makes/keeps us safe. Apparently, you don't know why you feel safe either, as you simply bypassed that question. Also, your stats are off, it's more like 42% of americans own at least one gun. And that varies dramatically by state... (I think Montana is the highest, with 64% of households owning at least one gun.) You say you don't wanna bash americans, yet there you are, bashing away. Insults and 'feelings', the usual liberal 'arguments'. So far, I don't think I have actually seen an 'argument' from you, just posting inaccurate information, and opinions fed to you by your liberal media. I may be brainwashed by the NRA, but, you are most certainly being brainwashed by your own media...... So, lets try another direction here. Do you think violent crime would be reduced if guns were banned in the US? Bear in mind, that given the number of guns already here, that is NEVER going to happen, and if they suddenly became illegal, a black market would instantly appear (actually, its more like 'expand', as there is already a black market for guns in the US, and every other country as well.....) to supply them to the criminals that wanted them. What's worse is, those criminals would be well aware that their potential victims were almost certainly guaranteed to be unarmed...... Do you think the number of suicides would decrease? Or would those that would shoot themselves, simply find a different method of ending their life?

You feel safe? You realize, that is just an illusion. Right? So, what do you do if you are threatened? Someone breaks into your home? Tries to steal your car? Robs you on the street? Do you just meekly roll over, and let them do whatever they want? Do you stand up to them? Or, do you expect someone else to do that for you? Ever had anyone in your family assaulted? You personally? Do you think if the NRA disappeared today, anything would change here? (hint: No, it wouldn't) Do you think the NRA is the ONLY organization the promotes gun ownership? (responsible gun ownership, that is.) Do you think every gun-owner is a member of the NRA? Sends them money? Police do not prevent crime. They react to it. Where I live, the police could not get here in time to do anything, other than clean up the mess after the fact. If I want to be safe, and keep my family safe, that is MY responsibility. Not the police, not the government, not my neighbors, MINE. Pretending it isn't, is just denying reality. (not to mention I need to address the occasional critter that needs to be removed from the property....) So, why is this so important to you, if you 'feel safe', and live in another country? What makes it your concern? It doesn't affect you in any way, shape, or form. Or do you just want to bash americans? That seems to be a popular passtime in some european countries......
