[COD] Tierlist

2024.05.30 20:06 Gabethebig_G [COD] Tierlist

[COD] Tierlist
Tierlist revisited a year later, with explanations.
Greatest of all time: self explanatory. Black ops 1 is undoubtedly the best call of duty to ever exist.
Fantastic: I really enjoyed all of these games. On the level of black ops one, just not AS good. WW2 may make some people mad, but that game had a beautiful story with a happy ending. As well as the last good zombies we’ve seen. Also, the mobile versions of CoD zombies are here. I think it was amazing to be able to play zombies on the go. I still have the Black Ops version downloaded on my phone. Finally: Cold War. I think the story was.. odd. The gameplay felt weird compared to better CoDs and just overall was strange. However I think it was well written. The zombies were not great. But the multiplayer.. oh man. That’s the best multiplayer since Black ops 2. It’s on par with black ops 1. Just felt so amazing.
Great: If mobile were the same way it was in 2019, it would be in Fantastic no doubt. I mean what’s not to love? This is the ultimate call of duty. It has guns from every game ever, Maps from every game ever, ETC. it was perfect. Not to mention it brought back mobile zombies! However, the changes they made to this game heavily affected its rating. It got the ol Warzone effect if you know what I’m saying. Gone were the days of a load in shoot em up classic call of duty, now you’re BOMBARDED with Battlepass shit, special offers, blah blah blah whatever the fuck. AND THEY TOOK AWAY CLASSIC ZOMBIES! Shame on them. 2019 CoD mobile was a perfect CoD multiplayer.
Good: IW is only here for their amazing zombies. Zombies in space land, a top 5 map I’d argue.
Mid: Early blackout was awesome, but it was the beginning of the end for CoD. For one the only reason they ever did this was to compete with fortnite. Which is dumb on its own. Stick to what you do CoD. Don’t try to hop on the bandwagon. Even with that in mind early blackout was so fun. Black ops 4, oh good lord. Worst zombies yet. A mid multiplayer… and no campaign?? Are you serious? It’s only even on the top part of the list due to the multiplayer. Last on this level: MW2 Mobilized. Initially, I thought this was a completely different game. I don’t even know the name of the game, but it was a Call of duty modern warfare mobile type game from WAY back. I believe 2008-2011? It was named like “Call Of duty modern warfare” and the logo was some random soldier. It didn’t have traditional CoD gameplay, it was like a tycoon of sorts. But i remember having countless hours on that game. So I must’ve enjoyed it. Ignore this rating
Bad: Okay. I’ll preface it by saying Original first couple month warzone was awesome. It had its own identity, was dark and more realistic, was scary to play alone, just overall was an amazing time. However down the road with the integration of Warzone to normal CoD is where CoD starting to fall HEAVY. They’re two separate entities: why the fuck combine them? It’s because Warzone that CoD is now a clusterfuck of battlepass promos, money grab collaborations, popups, stupid fucking downloads, I could go on all day. This game singlehandedly RUINED call of duty as we know it. But OG warzone when it was separate from normal CoD was a blast. MW2 was really fun multiplayer wise for a while, kinda got stale over time. I still would hop on every now and then for some fun fast paced CoD, until the dreaded MW3 update. Another hundred and what fucking gigabytes for a game I wasn’t even gonna buy?? Yeah that’s when MW2 went straight to the uninstall. The campaign was so weird and had confusing gameplay with the crafting system and whatever the fuck. I will say some of the missions were good fun, especially the one where you’re Mexican special forces running through a neighborhood over the boarder.
Trash: you already know.
Now for the haven’t played section, I own most of these games and I have played most of them. Albeit, very slightly or too long ago to not appreciate the full game. I plan to play all of these when I have time.

2024.05.28 18:27 The_Dusty_Cock Anyone heard of a FST170LTD?

I've been searching for a used popup and came across a Flagstaff. I can't seem to find any information on the thing though outside of the posting. It's a 2003 FST170LTD.
I see lots of 176s, but nothing for 170. Anyone have any info on this model?

2024.05.23 20:04 Ok_Pay6836 Sefirat HaOmer - Day 31

Before jumping in, I want to amend something from a few days ago; Day 28 to be more precise. I mentioned back then that only 8 pitchers had thrown a complete game this year, and no one threw more than one. That was true then, but no longer. Still only 8 pitchers, but Max Fried (wearing #54) tossed a complete game victory over my beloved Cubs last night, so he has 2 for the year.
Moe Berg wore #31 for the Indians in 1934, so did Fred Sington for the Nationals in 1937, Mickey Rutner for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1947, Larry Sherry for the Astros (also #37 and #50) in 1967 and the Angels in 1968, Scott Radinsky for the White Sox from 1990-95 (also wore #56 in 1990), David Newhan for the Astros in 2008 (still not sure I should be including him, as he now considers himself a Christian - but this is the last of his 7 uniform numbers so does it really matter what I think?), and Joc Pederson wore #31 for the Dodgers from 2015-2020 (wearing #65 in 2014).
Bud Swartz wore #31 for his 5 games for the St. Louis Browns in 1947; remember that was a time when pitchers hit, and he had 1 at bat and one hit (off Vic Raschi!) so he finished his career with a slash line of 1.000/1.000/1.000, so an OPS of 2.000! His pitching wasn’t quite as good, but not bad … considering. He came in relief 5 times, finishing all 5 games:
Game 1 vs Yankees (L: 12-2)
Game 2 vs Athletics (L: 16-2)
Game 3 vs Yankees (L: 14-5)
Game 4 vs Red Sox (L: 12-1)
Game 5 vs Red Sox (L: 11-2)
Let’s total that up: the Browns were outscored 65-12. Bud gave up 9 hits, 6 runs (only 4 earned), 7 walks (striking out 1), in 5.1 innings pitched (for an ERA of 6.75). In Game 1, he started the 9th, walking one, giving up a single, getting a popup and then inducing Tommy Henrich to ground into a double play. In Game 2, he came in to the game in the 9th with the bases loaded and let all 3 inherited runners score (2 on an error, and 1 walked in) before getting one out on a popup to short. In Game 3, in NY, he pitched the 7th and 8th innings and he faced Joe DiMaggio (who singled), gave up a homerun and got his only strike out (the opposing pitcher - he certainly owned Raschi), giving up 6 hits and 2 earned runs. Game 4 saw him come in for the bottom of the 8th inning in Boston, retiring the side on ground outs to Ted Williams and Dom DiMaggio, with a fly out in between. (Joe and Vince must have been the only brothers he faced.) Game 5 again saw him come in for the last inning in Boston, giving up 1 hit, 4 walks and 2 runs and leaving the bases loaded as he got Boo Ferriss (a pitcher) to fly out to end the inning, game, and his MLB career.

2024.05.22 20:12 Riverrun_the_Diviner Considering moving to Hot Springs- a few culture and job questions

*EDITED 5/23/24: No longer considering a move to HS. I'm going to look to Flagstaff, Arizona, where I have some common folks. That said: 🎇🙏 Thank You 🙏🎇, sincerely, for your rumination and reflection. *
One of my best friends is going to be relocating to HS from northern Louisiana and I was going to move anyway, so my gaze has come to you and this community! I've been living in Portland, OR since basically 2008. That said (and I promise this long intro has a purpose), all of my family on both my mother and father's sides are from Louisiana and Arkansas. I was born in New Orleans and lived in Little Rock twice between 1974 and 1984. I spent 3 of 4 high school years in Richmond, VA and went to Sewanee in TN, then lived in Nashville for 13 years. So even though I'm relocating from the Pacific Northwest, my original roots are this region of the south southern.
That said, it's been a while! Are there sound baths and/or guided meditation facilities? Any hot yoga? Where would I find out about group exercise options? Are there short-term rentals if I wanted to come spend some time while looking around and feeling the vibe of being a resident? I'm a Medical Biller with a CPC (never coded full time or anything; billing is actually my true jam but I have the coding background) and also some crisis management and customer service in my skill set. I'm curious about the ease of starting a business as well. I'm coming from Oregon where there's no state sales tax so seeing the wall of taxes was a bit of a shock! Anyway... enough rambling. I'm a progressive woman of middle age wanting to get involved somewhere and make a difference. Thank you for your honest feedback! 🙏💗

2024.05.19 00:14 xxImNotARobotxx Can pes pull this off

(I don't want another Leo v cr7 comment moment, i will just put my opinion)
In pes13 cr7 was the main mascot, but then comes njr, than Barca,with Barca come Leo, and from then on we have Leo .
Leo had many iconic moment planned in pes like they gave him ucl final header, Ankara messi,boateng messi,el classico Messi jersey one, now wc one,imo I need a hole player messi (mainly 2011 he was insane with his dribbling where he will take on 2-3 defender and pass the ball on left flank and make insane run inside box to recieve and finish in box.i think he was actually HP in 2011 version)
On other hand cr7 got first iconic when he was in juve which was some what equal to Leo (i think Leo although had 103 rated card) and pes had juve license.at that time I thought pes didn't had madrid licence so that's why.
But when cr7 got signed for manu I was like "yeah boi" we will be getting better cr7 bt card.but what we got 100 rated cr7 of manu pack.at this time we only had 2 cr7 different card manu pack and old Juve card converted to manu legend (still pes didn't justify him like Leo was 100 and cr7 was 98)
Now in game we have only 3 cr7 different type of card Saudi-1,manu-2.
They can still turn this around if they release both in single pack(the goat/rival/2faces of coin/whatever the name).like 100 player pack 2 legends rest of them normal cards.
Now we can have packs like
Leo 2008,cr7 2007.(The beginning)or just basic Leo and cr7 2009
Balandor (goats if they don't have licence)packs they time they won trophy
Euro champs(the time when they won uefa respectively)
Nations hero (the time when they won for their nation)
So now we will have many cr7 and many Leo and people will buy most of this just because they can get their goats.
They even messed up dinho. Like they made dinho great by adding Samba fake and Samba celebration. But then they removed Samba from him. Then they released a pay to get dinho with only samba fake they didn't add the samba celebration atleast that would have been nice like monumental celebration.
Hope whenever Leo of El Clasico is added they give him jersey celebration that was most coldest Leo celebration of all time. They can add that as they did for neymar (Jersey removed) so they can add this too.(A cr7 too hitting back that celebration would also be nice touch.it would be may much impactful like one can recreate something like last minute goal Leo hit Jersey celebration and cr7 equalised and popup come "right back at you").
Atleast can we atleast get dinho samba dance celebration back. Not a new card with it ,but edit the celebration on existing card.

2024.05.11 20:17 PrincipledBirdDeity What happened to the central commercial district that was originally planned for Presidio?

Per the original developers of Presidio in the Pines, the "urban village" was to include a mixed commercial/residential zone called the "Town Center." This is from the paperwork they filed with the City back in 2004:
In short, Town Center at the Presidio is a very rare development for the City of Flagstaff. It has received pre-commitments for the commercial spaces to include a deli, a coffee shop, an Italian Restaurant, a Real Estate Office, a Bank, a Title Company, a Dry Cleaners, and more. [p 10]
Obviously, no such commercial spaces exist in the current Presidio neighborhood. What happened to this part of the plan?
"2008 happened" is an obvious part of the answer, but even so it strikes me as odd that when this development was reanimated following the housing crash, the original plan was followed pretty closely except for the inclusion of commercial spaces (and a church--did that go in somewhere?). This despite the fact that mixing in commercial with residential spaces to facilitate walkability is a big part of the zeitgeist that Presidio was a part of.
What a missed opportunity, IMO.

2024.05.10 18:23 wadenelsonredditor Don't ride immediately after an argument with the GF / Wife!

My last post I talked about the "Five things you won't ride without."
Probably number one should be a CLEAR HEAD.
You don't want to be impatient, upset, angry, or mentally re-hashing an argument with the GF, Wife, co-worker, whatever when you're on a danger machine. You need 100% of your attention on the road, other drivers.
Not thinking about "What I shudda said!"
Yes, going for a ride CAN clear your head - on a lonely, fun, twisty road. But NOT In town traffic with cellphone-distracted drivers apparently aiming for you. Too easy to ride angry!
I just did two back to back 8 hour rides (out & back) on my Connie (2008 Kawasaki Concours). The second with a good attitude, the first with a "Hurry up gotta get there" attitude that left me suffering and wondering why I even ride. A car would have been a LOT more comfortable. And warm.
First ride, my hands are starting to get cold, so do I pull over and take 60 seconds put on my winter gloves as I'm heading into Flagstaff? Add a layer? (Much cooler than Phoenix 90 miles ago!)
Nope. Just keep riding until I'm chilled, hungry, and riding sloppy. And have to stop. Dennys in Tuba City.
I just keep pushing, pushing, and pushing all the way across the Rez instead of relaxing, taking breaks. Legs and knees absolutely killing me. Start thinking about selling the bike.
Never did hook up the tunes.
Froze my ass coming over Hesperus Pass (Cortez Colorado to Durango Colorado). Barely made it out to Ignacio.
By the time I got home I was worthless, could barely stand up. Askiing myself, "Why do I even do this?
All because I had a bad, "Gotta get there" attitude.
My ride home to Phoenix from Durango, Colorado, I dressed in layers. Underwear, tights, jeans, chaps. Long sleeve shirt, vest, windbreaker, another shirt, leather jacket, neck gator. Winter gloves.
And a good attitude. "It's gonna take as long as it takes, and I'm gonna take as many breaks as I need, and have a little fun en route."
It's cloudy and cold out! Let it warm up a bit. Probably 50 when I departed.
First stop (Farmington NM) its sunny and a lot warmer. I shed the winter gloves. Fuel up. Get a delicious lamb burrito from a roadside stand on the Rez near the Casino. Walk around a bit. Set up the helmet-mounted radar detector system - which saved my bacon a few miles south of Payson, later in the ride.
Second stop, Gallup, lose the gator and the windbreaker. Fuel up. Hit the Golden Corral and eat a healthier lunch than I usually do, lotsa vegetables, salad, .... Hook up the Plugphones / Ipod for some tunes while cruising boring I-40 and getting endlessly trapped behind "elephant races."
I like Plugphones way better than earbuds. They work as earplugs when you're not listening to tunes. Block almost all wind noise. And they're cheap. $17.
I'm makin' good time.
Third stop. Holbrook. Fuel up @ Maverick. Lose the vest. Visit a great pawn shop there. I really don't need a THIRD chainsaw, do I? Tempting! (Husquvarna Rancher -- cheap)
Fifth stop Heber-Overgaard. Get a Dr. Pepper, walk around a bit to loosen up. Shitload of construction ahead, one-lane traffic. Sucks. But I'm not tired or angry! And I rocket through the passing zones where, for unknown reasons, the drivers being passed all gotta speed way up.
Down the hill from HebeOg to Payson is a real rider's road. Fun fun fun.
Fifth stop, Payson Arizona. Lose the vest, go into a store bathroom and shed the longjohns (tights) in the restroom, fuel up, buy a whole bag of Apple (lightning) charging cords in Goodwill for $5. Score!
Ahead of me is the Beeline Highway from Payson to Phoenix, a great ride if there ever was one, and despite having already been on the bike six+ hours I have a helluva fun ride.
Get into a little bit of a speed contest comin' down the Beeline with a gray Dodge Charger. Now THIS is why I own this bike!
Lose the bad attitude! Get off the bike. Take a break. Take some pictures. Stay hydrated. Add or subtract layers BEFORE you lose core body temp.
No, you don't need to "get there." You need to arrive alive in good mental AND physical shape.
Take care of yourself before and during a ride.
Don't start a ride impatient, angry or distracted by earlier events.

2024.04.20 21:51 oilfloatsinwater LittleBigPlanet 4 probably exists, and there are strong signs that point to it. (Theory)

This might sound like cope, but there are actually 4 signs that point at its existence, and its actually quite convincing. Sit down, cuz this is gonna be a bit long.
  1. The Servers: Now yesterday, the servers shut down, and alot of people were rightfully upset about how it was severely mishandled, and now a history of levels and user creations spanning from 2008 to 2024 just got deleted at a moments notice, but that's not what happened exactly...
LBP's servers are separated into 2, the one that connects you into the game (Game Server), and the one that has all the UGC and Levels (Resource Server). While the Game Server has been taken down completely, the Resource server is still up and running, which wouldn't make sense for something that has completely shut down... another point is that Sony's terminology for the shutdown is very different from others, with LBP they have said "kept offline indefinitely" which opens a door for possibilities, while for other shutdowns they used "Terminated", "come to an end", and "shut down", these don't leave doors for possibilities. EX: Killzone, Everybody's Golf (PS4) (a notice should popup immediately to tell you that), other games (GT Sport, Guns Up, MLB). So Sony is consistent with their wording on shutdowns, but why would say it in a different, more "hopeful" way for LBP servers?
  1. Sony's Live Service Push: Since this generation began, Sony has expressed that they want to make 12 Live Service games by 2025/2026 (PSA: 6 of these got delayed out of 2026, but alot of them still exist), they even doubled down on it later on in a Fiscal Year Report slideshow saying that they intend to have 50% of their first party output to be Live Service.
LittleBigPlanet is a live service franchise, it was one of the most popular games on PS3, infact they even tried doubling down on it even harder with LBP Hub (which got canned), and it has consistently sold well, with LBP3 topping 5.4mil as of Feb 2022, making it the highest selling game in the series. Sony has literally revived Helldivers, which is a much more niche game, and look how big that got, they even tried reviving Twisted Metal as a Live Service game, which ultimately got cancelled, sure, but it was considered. It would make 0 sense for Sony to revive more niche games as "Live Service" games (Twisted Metal and Helldivers), or Singleplayer-focused titles (TLOU: Factions 2 [got cancelled]) as Live Service... but not one of their first Live Service IPs? LittleBigPlanet skin packs and level packs made literal banks, it really just doesn't make sense to not see one in this current strategy.
  1. Media Molecule's troubles: After Dreams had flopped, Sony was considering to shut down Media Molecule, but in a stroke of luck for Mm, London Studio was doing much worse, Mm has said that they moved on to a new project that is described as a "Multiplayer Live Service" (which they haven't specified if its a new IP or not), and most recently, received full funding from Sony, which means its going well.
This project could be LBP4, since Dreams and Tearaway did terribly, and they were literally this close to getting shut down, they are probably under thin ice to create something successful (like LBP4), its highly likely that Sony has put them under heavy pressure, and that they are more restrictive to them in terms of "what can they make". Sony likes to play it safe nowadays in terms of game releases, and MM creating anything other than LBP4 is just highly unlikely at this point and unsafe for both Sony and Mm, their survival literally hinges on the fact that their next game is a success. It wouldn't make sense if they just made something else.
  1. Popularity: Despite the fact that some people like to claim that the franchise is dead, its anything but dead. On PS Plus Extra/Premium alone (not including Essential), which has a subscriber base of 14.1mil as of May 2023 mind you, LBP3 had 1.1mil players from PS Plus Extra/Premium, and even more impressively, 83% of which were new players to the franchise, making it the 9th most played Sony game on PS Plus, topping major games like Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, and even God Of War. The game even has 188.5k reviews on the PS Store (PSA: You can't review a game that you own physically on PSN, only digitally), to put this into perspective, this makes it higher than Horizon Zero Dawn's reviews, which is Sony's best selling game to date, so it seems that alot of people have engaged with LBP3.
LittleBigPlanet/Sackboy is also very popular within Gen Z and Millennials, if you have scrolled Tiktok and Insta for a while, you would see that GIF of Sackboy turning his head slowly, literally everywhere, and Nostalgia posts around the games get 100k+ likes. LittleBigPlanet as an IP is still culturally relevant.
Thanks for reading.

I'm back and deeper in the rabbit hole.
Haven't played Nekopara, but the figures were just sooo cute.
Black Rock Shooter was a part of my childhood (ok, so the 2008 release date would have landed me in college. So not really childhood.) so very stoked to see there's a popup of it.
There really was something captivating about that song and the character design.

2024.04.04 00:37 stuponatron Zenfolio...after 16 years, utter failure

I joined Zenfolio on April 3, 2008 - 16 years ago to the day! It became slower over the years, but still responsive enough for me...until this year.
I've spent the last three weeks trying to view and download my galleries, to no avail. Support is utterly useless, and dismissive to boot. I can't restore galleries, since mine seem to be in limbo, where they don't show as archived, but they're no longer visible (besides placeholders). No matter, their support will simply thank me for my "patience and understanding" while they continue to run the clock out on me.
Per their reminder popup when i logged in today, my account renews at the end of this month. I think i got a free month when i joined. So, they're happy to remind me to pay, take my money, take my photos, while completely ignoring their side of the contract. My requests for refunds and/or plan extensions have been ignored entirely.
Zenfolio *was* great, then steadily degraded, now it's blatantly not even trying to hold up its end of the bargain. A few terms come to mind: theft, breach of contract, bad faith, arrogance, sheer incompetence, you get the idea. Like others, i think this likely will be the death knell for Zenfolio.
I'm glad i have backups (er, originals) of everything. Still, it will be painful to recreate elsewhere.
Best wishes for those of you still on the platform...you've been warned (:

2024.04.01 16:41 SierexFenix Building a PC = Easy ¦ Dealing w/Windows = WTF?!

So I built my PC about two weeks ago... The setup was easy; cable management took hours. In all it only took about two days for me fitting in time between work, kids, etc. But the two weeks since has been a nightmare, mainly because of Windows 11. Because Windows didn't automatically detect wifi drivers and my pc is too far from the router, I had to disable the network connection requirement during install with the command prompt "trick"... So, no big deal, I used that as an opportunity to install all the drivers prior to wifi... The motherboard, gpu, sound card, monitor, etc. Then lastly I installed wifi. After that I restarted my computer and started windows updates. During windows updates I received pop-ups from gigabyte to install the control software, razer for the addressable rgb controller software, MSI for my mouse/keyboard combo. These started installing while I was installing windows updates and started me down the path of windows errors I was unable to find solutions to.
So originally I thought one of the popup software installs caused my explorer.exe to crash randomly (I mean surely, it wouldn't have been windows update, they test these updates extensively /s). After I Uninstalled all three the issues kept happening. I tried windows repair, I tried rolling back to previous restore point, nothing fixed the issue. I stayed at that point to. Think maybe it was some Overclock options I had messed with, so sweet everything to factory defaults, still got the error. After a few days more of smashing my head against the wall, I went with a clean install of windows. I figured it best to do it now rather than after I had time to really configure and break in the computer.
So after a clean install, I did all the above I had done before, but didn't install the popup softwares. The error still surfaced. So at that point I determined it had to be one of the windows updates. I started uninstalling updates and restarting until finally the error stopped. I numbered it down to one, KB5035853. I looked up information on the update and it's been reported to cause all sorts of problems since it's release only last month; BSOD, Explorer.exe crash, performance issues, boot loop, etc. Why can't we block specific updates? Or why can't we pick and choose which updates to install? This used to be a thing in older versions of windows. Why can't microsoft do a better job of testing before they push these updates on the public?
So anyway, error resolved, everything great, right? Wrong! So I create a restore point since I finally solved that issue, and go to update windows apps from the microsoft store, it does, then I open up the Xbox app (I have gamepass), to install a couple games, but none will install and all stop at aquiring license. A few days of troubleshooting goes by of me uninstall/installing clearing cache, logging into different accounts, going back in, reporting from earlier restore points, etc. At this point I'm about ready to just reinstall windows again and to test installing a game before windows updates to see if it's yet another update that has corrupted the Xbox app or the store... I finally try the repair options from programs and reset both store and Xbox. This finally corrected the issue!
So, for now, everything appears in working order, after two weeks of this nightmare and buyers remorse brought on because I haven't been able to "enjoy" my purchase.
The crazy thing is I used to do this all the time from the mid-90s until about 2008. And recently I've been nostalgic for how fun it was building computers/modding cases, etc, so I hopped back into it. I forgot all about the software side of building a computer and the headaches that brings with it.
It got me thinking, how much more difficult this must be for new builders getting their feet wet and running into similar hurdles. So for anyone else getting hung up with windows crap, you're not alone, and yes, it does suck. But thanks to the extent of the internet, it's at least easier to troubleshoot now than it was in the mid-90s. I suddenly remember how it was so much easier to just reinstall windows than it was to troubleshoot then. I abused the heck out of that 80mb hard drive with windows 3.1 and dos 6.2 installs.

2024.03.27 18:21 Alternative_River_86 My dad and Cormac

Forgive me for the length. I wrote this for myself to remember some memories that are very dear to me. Given a few responses from people on here to other posts, I figured I would share this timeline of sorts of what Cormac meant to me and my dad.
November 2007- The Road. I was a college junior (English major) taking an American literature class. It started with Moby Dick, went to Hawthorne, then Hemingway, then Morrison, then Pynchon, and ended with The Road. My professor was a leading Melville scholar, absolutely brilliant mind, and I was really surprised and intrigued to see a modern novelist on his syllabus. Who could this be?! I remember thinking. If you had told me there was someone alive who was on Melville/Hemingway's level, 20 year old me would not have believed you. I read it in about a day and then i read it again over the course of the next week. My father and I shared a deep love of literature and I remember calling him and telling him about Cormac, like I'd just made a new friend for us. My dad, a fisherman, loved it so much, and the final paragraph, "maps and mazes," was his all time favorite quote.
August 2008 - All the Pretty Horses. My father bought it for me in August, right before me and him and my mom went on a family vacation to the San Francisco area. It was my first trip ever to the west coast (I'm from the mid-Atlantic). I read it on the plane while watching the clouds, at Muir Beach, in a clearing off the Dipsea Trail, on the deck of the little house we rented underneath an avocado tree. I fell in love with the idea of the desert. I completely fell for all the romanticism of Grady's shattered idealism. I fell in love with the idea of my Alejandra out there in the desert, or out here in the west somewhere. After this book, 21 year old me stopped trying to imitate Hemingway with my writing, and started trying to imitate Cormac.
Summer 2009 - Blood Meridian. I graduated college and was finally free to pursue MY curriculum full time. I bought Blood Meridian months earlier but it sat on my shelf during the school year and into the summer because I had committed myself deeply to Anna Karenina and War and Peace. I finished it in July. At the time I was applying for jobs, having no luck, working at the supermarket deli by day, drinking in my friends backyards by night. Any spare time was either running (I love running), running after girls, or running with the Glanton Gang. I remember having Blood Meridian in my hands when I got the call that I was accepted into Americorps, and would be leaving to volunteer for a year in the California deserts. I got chills standing there in my New Jersey kitchen envisioning tracking down Blood Meridian locales.
March 2010 - Suttree. Little time for reading with the intensity of Americorps, and I had to first finish War and Peace. Once it was done Suttree was the next order of business. I remember the thrill of seeing the package on the porch of the dusty little bunkhome I shared with my six crewmates in the Imperial Valley, just a few miles from the Mexican border. I had ordered three other books with it and they give a pretty good sense of my taste: Red by Terry Tempest Williams, Nabokov's Speak, Memory, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. But I read Suttree first. I remember reading the opening italics section to my Alejandra I had met in the desert. She loved it and I loved her. I kept it in my back pocket while swinging a pick axe at our worksite deep in the backcountry. I read huge chunks of it on my off time, when I took a greyhound bus for hours to San Diego, then to LA, then a little boat out to an island, where I ran my first marathon. After I finished I sat in the surf and drank beer and read Suttree. Working a physical labor job was the best possible time for me to be introduced to Suttree, a love letter to the common man, the blue collar man, the intentional social outcast.
August-September 2010 - The Crossing, Cities of the Plain. New Americorps gig in the desert now, a few hundred miles east in Tucson. I re-read All the Pretty Horses and then bought The Crossing and Cities of the Plain at a tiny used bookstore in Flagstaff, during a trip to the Hopi reservation. I read both while on a weeks long work backpacking expeditions in Saguaro National Park (they called me a "biological technician"), sometimes while hiking, sometimes by lanternlight in my tent or at dawn before we started. I spent almost all my off days in the University of Arizona library, walking the 7 miles from one end of the city to the other down Broadway Ave with my desert pack and dogeared books and eight or nine of my own desert writing in scattered notebooks. Cormac is embedded in my family now, and my dad and I talk about Suttree all the time when I call home. Sut has come to sit with Huck Finn atop our "flee society and live in nature" heroes in lit list. The end of the Border Trilogy hits me as I pine hard for my lost Alejandra I met in California, who is now up in Oregon.
October 2010 - Orchard Keeper. I re-read Blood Meridian then go into his Appalachian work. I ordered Orchard Keeper on the internet and had shipped to my home in New Jersey. I quit my desert job (I left my roommate a note telling him "sorry, I have to go see about a girl") and flew home. I worked at a gas station in Atlantic City for two weeks and then found a car-sharing website online and road tripped to Seattle with a group of strangers. I read Orchard Keeper from the front passenger seat, then in the University of Oregon library, then on the couch of my Alejandra's bedroom. Ultimately, she tells me she loves me but she cannot do what I ask. I leave this book with her roommate, who was very kind to me.
November 2010 - Child of God. Dark times and darkest literature. Clambering aboard a Greyhound bus in Eugene to take me anywhere else, I purchase Child of God during a stop outside Redding, California at a Barnes and Noble. I read this horrific tale of the eastern swamp forests while roaring along the western coast. I remember a deep conversation about this book with a homeless man over a container of boxed wine on a BART train from Oakland to San Francisco. I suppose I was homeless too, heartache I'd never known, but I still called my father to tell him about the latest McCarthy I'd finished, and we talked more about "Old Sut" and agreed we would have to plan a fishing trip in Tennessee soon.
December 2010 - Outer Dark. Winesoaked and wandering the streets of the Mission district in San Francisco, crashing with a friend, I wake up in some bushes one morning near Land's End overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Reaching in my pockets Outer Dark was still there, though the cover had been torn off. I remember nursing a terrible hangover while a girl I knew who lived nearby made me buckwheat pancakes. She played Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" with the windows open on an unusually warm day with the gulls squawking and foghorns blaring and I read the bulk of Outer Dark there on her couch between feverish naps and extremely gentle lovemaking, for the roommate, a night nurse now napping, is nigh.
Feb. 2011 - No Country for Old Men. My father buys me a copy for Christmas, which I pick up when I head home to New Jersey. We rewatch the movie together and for a week straight can't stop quoting the "coin toss" scene, much to my mom's chagrin. It is my last McCarthy book and I finish it with sadness, watching flurries fall from parents living room. I distinctly remember feeling it was a full level below All the Pretty Horses, which itself I felt was a level below The Crossing, but I still love it. I'm intrigued by the style and italics sections and I put it in the backpack I take with me to Montana (along with Suttree and All the Pretty Horses), where I now have a third Americorps position in the wilderness.
March 2011 - In the midst of a blizzard I watch the movie of The Road with my seven roommates in our tiny, three bedroom basement apartment in Billings Montana. These kindred wild and wacky souls, fellow trail crew workers, "play" The Road with me when we go out to work in the backcountry, we pretend to chase each other with chainsaws and pickaxes and each night without fail by the campfire and the passing whiskey a tall blond friend of mine pulls out a stump or a log and holds it over his head solemnly and declares that he is "carrying the fire."
Aug. 2012 - My dad gets cancer and our cat knocks a copy of Blood Meridian off of our shelf. I bring it to him in the hospital and as re-reads it he gives all of his nurses and doctors a name from the book (the head of oncology is a very grim, tiny, elderly Japanese woman we called The Judge). We spend hours of his chemotherapy talking about the Glanton Gang.
July 2015 - My dad's cancer is in remission and we make the 12 hour drive to Tennessee, visit Knoxville, look for Old Sut's houseboat, see a few people that look like the country mouse, and stay for a few nights in a cabin in Roan Mountain State Park on the Doe River. My dad quotes The Road in his fishing journal entries and one of my favorite memories in this life is seeing him sitting on the porch of that little cabin with all his gear laid out on the table and his notebooks and thumbing through a copy of The Road with the creek rushing just below us and the full day ahead. He thought Doe Creek might be a specific locale intended by McCarthy in The Road (he came to this as a fisherman, not through literary research).
June 2017 - We both happen to be re-reading The Crossing when we decide to take a father's day camping trip to the southern Utah and northern Arizona desert. We spend several days camped out deep in BLM land making little fires at night and specifically cooking dishes Billy and his brother would eat, like tortillas with beans dipped in hot sauce. Mornings we seek out roadside diners before long hikes or fishing expeditions. We compare David Lynch's new Twin Peaks the Return to McCarthy, and we agree that the Trinity test visualized in Twin Peaks captures the horror in the same way as the final scene in The Crossing.
July 2022 - My dad is back in the hospital and he texts me quotes from The Road as I fly home. He knows he is dying but he faces it with more grace and optimism and compassion for me than the father in The Road, more than I imagine any human can. He is superhuman, saintlike. We talk about maybe getting out of the hospital for a few days and going back down to fish the Doe River. He dies the next day and on the back of the cards I handed out at his funeral are the words Once there were brook trouts in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.
Dec. 2022 - The Passenger. I'm driving through Thousand Oaks California on a road trip and buy a brand new hardcopy for $27. I'm camping on the beach with my girlfriend and I stay up late into the night reading it listening to the waves. I finish it a few days later at a hotel in Tijuana while eating and rice and beans for breakfast and plotting further road adventures south.
June 2023 - I'm working remotely from a hostel in Banos, Ecuador when I hear the news that Cormac has died. I remember sitting there on a little balcony watching the trees in the jungle for a long time. Then I went for a long run in the high jungle, winding up in the mud high to some nine thousand feet and then back down to swim in the Pastaza River. It was rainy and gray and there were strange enormous fish in the river I had never seen before. I felt my father there with me and I talk to him for a long time about Cormac amid the din of the rushing waters.

2024.02.27 12:31 cbern512 Question about high altitude driving

I have a question about high altitude driving in my 2008 Cayman S. Years ago I had a NA 944 and while in the Flagstaff area the car seemed to bog down and struggle a bit. After that I had a 944 Turbo and no issues at high altitude, now with this car I have not taken it up there yet and since it's also NA I'm wondering if I might have the same issue as I did with the first car. I've read that NAs can struggle that high up. Anyone experience 8000 ft in their Cayman?

2024.01.31 21:54 ZucchiniElectronic60 What was your worst vacation ever?

Mine was a Boy Scout trip in the summer of 2008. A lot of the food we brought along spoiled which caused some scouts to get salmonella, there were torrential rains when we were in Flagstaff and rising tensions led to numerous fights over the course of the week. By fights, I mean scouts were trying to hit each other.

2024.01.30 00:46 Dog-Petter-420 Can I tow this?

For context, my husband and I are totally new to popups. Been camping for years, want to get off the ground and my parents offered to buy us our first trailer this Christmas. The only issue being, I drive a 2017 Subaru Forester. Pretty low tow capacity. We looked at this 2008 Coachmen Clipper sport today. Dry weight somewhere in the 1300lb range. Any advice is appreciated!!

2024.01.29 18:59 eltegs WPF ListBox unexpected behavior after SelectedIndex is set via code.

Code is part of a user control, where a TextBox provides suggestions for words being typed.
EDIT: I've include the bare minimum code needed to reproduce this behavior at the bottom of post. Just a list box and a button. It appears the popup has nothing to do with it.
The code I believe is relevant. In the KeyUp event of TextBox....
else if (e.Key == Key.Down) { Debug.WriteLine("down pressed"); if (popUp.IsOpen) { Debug.WriteLine("open"); suggestList.Focus(); suggestList.SelectedIndex = (suggestList.Items.Count > 1) ? 1 : 0; e.Handled = true; } } 
If this code is reached, a PopUp control containing a ListBox has been opened.
suggestList is that ListBox, and index 0 is selected.
I believe I should add some context here: The word at index 0 is not the word I want to select, hence why I've pressed the down key.
As you can see, I switch focus to the list box, and set its index to 1. And at this point, all is fine, and I can select and insert the word at the selected index into my text.
The unexpected behavior occurs when the word I want to select is further down in the list. If I hit the Down key again (bearing in mind the listbox does not deal with the Down press, its left to its default behavior) the selection does not move down in the list, it moves up to index 0. After that, is behaves as I would normally expect.
EDIT: It does not matter what index I initially set the listbox to, 2,3,5... It will always skip back to index 0 upon the first Down press it captures. Or Up press for that matter.
Any Ideas what I'm missing here?
Thanks for reading.
In case it's relevant, the listbox does handle some keys...
private void suggestList_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Key == Key.Enter e.Key == Key.Oem7) { UpdateInput(false); txtInput.Focus(); } } 
Minimal code to reproduce the behavior...

    

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) { listBox.Items.Add(i.ToString()); } listBox.SelectedIndex = 2; listBox.Focus(); }
