Oh I just wanted anyone else who sees the post to get that reminder like I did!

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

Deus Ex Human Revolution takes place in 2027. Guess what's in less than two months? If you played that game when it came out, congratulations, you're getting old. If I had to be reminded of that, so do you. You're welcome!

Sometimes I wonder just how different things would be, had Bethesda Softworks never acquired the Fallout property 🤔 (and no, I'm not one of those people that hates Bethesda's Fallout, FO3 still remains one of my favorite games of all time)

FNV modders. I beg you. I implore you. BSArchPro is dirt simple to use. Pack your damn files up instead of leaving a pile of loose files around for users to download. Please.

I got it figured out this morning and it was something really stupid, but yeah the day wasn’t a *total* wash

Actually managed to not bother with them at all!

The workflow ended up being "lose six full hours trying to wrangle Perforce and still not manage to do it, make somewhat decent progress on my Beat Saber levels, finish one single module in my Blender course, and get nothing else done outside of a grocery run, also Perforce freakin' sucks"

Decision-locked between working on my Fallout 3 mod, working on my Unreal Engine game, working on housework, doing my Blender coursework, working on Beat Saber levels, and working on getting my Unreal Engine version control set up, so I think I'll just browse Youtube shorts for the next 6 hours

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Speaking of that, y'all ever just casually stumble on figuring out something that's stumped you for THREE YEARS and you still have no idea how you actually fixed it?

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Can someone please explain to me why I'm seeing GGMods so much more lately, and what incentive there is to upload mods there. Because I'm starting to see it a lot in the FNV modding circles.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I swear, trying to get that boat animation to work can be pointed to as the single biggest thing that got the Washington re-write basically permanently shelved because I realized I was putting way too much effort into rewriting an old mod for an even older game.

000

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

So the new mesh is equippable (the same way that the 'train glove' is), can be seen in game, animates properly in Blender and NifSkope, yet *still* refuses to show up in this animation.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Reposting an old video from 2023, and it's relevant because I tried the newer Blender Nif Tools to try to get this boat to show up properly. Thread:

Had to try this quiz, this *kinda* whiffed on me as I'm from near West Virginia 😆

Buttons with rounded corners, features inexplicably missing and/or broken, """coded""" using Qt, Rust, and/or Python, and that damn ever-present bold font that I don't know the name of that looks like a cheap knock-off Ubuntu UI font. It's not even subtle.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

A side effect of learning how to work with Arch Linux has been getting really good at spotting vibe-coded apps, because they all use the *same damn UI style*.

120

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Yeah, when I look at the recommends on my PS5’s home screen, I’m stunned at the unhinged slop that comes up because it’s the same effect

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Think I pretty much ran the gamut on this table way down there in 25th And I've said it 50 times and I'll say it 50 times more, that first start at Richmond is doing a TON of heavy lifting on that laps led stat

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

I truly, genuinely admire Dan Fraser's dedication to trying to get iRacing to finally allow Linux users to use the sim again. Personally, I like iRacing and want to spend money on their service! I just don't want to use a vibe-coded pile of slop to do it anymore. forums.iracing.com/discussion/9...

I genuinely have zero clue how someone can take a barely-functional Bash script installer, completely rewrite it in Python, make it command line only, and somehow make it even LESS functional all at once.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Qual: Didn't, started P20 Race: P2 Never been so happy to finish P2. Went in with zero expectations and got a podium just wanting to have a quiet night in the top 15. Congrats on the championship @colby71.bsky.social! @varcracing.com

Y'all I got this giant bee in my outpost, what do I do about it #starfield (I concede this joke doesn't work nearly well over text)

A giant B in my outpost on Gagarin in Starfield. A play on words meant to joke that there is a 'giant bee' in the outpost building.

050

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Also, I gave Starfield's Terran Armada a go, and I gotta say, I didn't *dislike* it, but I think I'd have been disappointed if it were priced how Shattered Space was, so I guess good thing it wasn't? Haven't really done much with the Free Lanes content yet, but I'll get to it eventually!

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Now for a less negative post: I recently played through For a Few Brahmin More (New Vegas mod for those who don't know), and I gotta say, there was definitely a lot of care and attention put into it. It's definitely going to be a mainstay in my playthroughs in the future!

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

For the record, said embarrassment was "wheelhopping and spinning on pit entry at Talladega under green, something I've done cleanly dozens of times, costing me any chance at running towards the front as like always, any time something like that happens, the race turns into the cleanest race ever".

000

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I dunno. Now that I'm cooled off from Tuesday night's embarrassment, maybe I'll just take a few months away from sim racing (again) and re-evaluate where I'm at then. But man. I cannot deny that I'm running out of "it is what it is" in that regard.

100

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

I really need to just take that self-doubt gremlin's advice and just sell my wheel already because jesus CHRIST I cannot stop finding fresh new ways to make unforced errors.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

I'm not gonna lie, I had to search that up, but that's pretty much it, yeah

100

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

I get into these modes where I'm desperate to prove I'm NOT terrible at something and I just start making mistakes left and right. And my recent race results show it. So I guess that's that for a while!

200

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Left with a few minutes left in VARC practice, I think between flat out being unable to keep up anywhere I go and my recent brain fades in CORT, I've lost my nerve to race again

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Now having been to an Indycar race, I now understand why its fans are so passionate about it. Makes the NASCAR fan experience look like a joke in comparison. Tickets are cheaper too.

Just kidding, here’s the actual trend graph! DAMN that’s a lot of green

My weight trend graph showing the progress between a 293.7 pound weigh in on January 6, 2025, and a 206.1 pound weigh in on May 3, 2026.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

16 month accountability check in, I switched to a iPhone so no weigh-in app screenshot, but I've since pushed my lowest to 204.0, but I've been stalled out around 205 since December. Still *very slowly* trending down!

Y’know I still genuinely think Washington’s Malevolence ***freakin’ sucks***, but I can’t deny that Al ChestBreach made some real gold out of it 🤣 got a notification the other day from someone commenting on the video and decided to give the mod series a quick skim-through again for old times sake

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

My disappointment is immeasurable and my week is ruined. (I have literally never seen this giant Dixie cup in person)

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

I'm in this weird position where I'm intentionally avoiding staying informed on current events, if only to keep my anxiety somewhat in check, only to then be completely unable to talk about and debate said current events with coworkers and family because I just don't know enough to be able to.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

On a less depressing note, I finally got a chance over the weekend to run through Life is Strange True Colors (getting around to working through the Steam backlog), and I really liked it!

010

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Yknow I’ve had my original Xbox for 23 years now, and it still amazes me every time I turn the thing on and it still works. Also, a friendly PSA, remember to pop the console open and check the clock capacitor! (Or have someone do it who’s good with electronics)

010

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

It's already the case for basically any game you can think of on Steam, just install the game like you would any other game on Windows and off to the races you go. Very stubborn holdouts like iRacing are basically the only reason I even have a Windows install these days.

000

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

It genuinely feels like we're entering an era of Linux where Windows apps are really close to being a case of "install this Flatpak lol, no tinkering needed, it just works" and I am all for it.

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Actually, use that one, that's freakin' hilarious

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

this is why I simply chose to do something else (and I was ass slow)

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

It’s just the DC sports way 🤷‍♂️

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Sorry dude, the Caps and the Commanders are below average at best and the Wizards will forever be ass, so therefore the Nats are the good DC team this year, it appears

Janitor Dave @janitordave.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

I tried so damn hard to stay off of him too, like you can see that the front end dips *noticeably* when I sent the brakes through the firewall trying to prevent the crash but it was just too little too late. 100% mental error on my part
