  • I studied abroad in Australia for a semester (from the United States) and took an Aboriginal Studies course and was incredibly glad I did. It was crazy to see the parallels to how the Native Americans were treated/colonized here in the Americas. Truly barbaric stuff. They’ve got something called the Lost Generation where pretty much all of the children born during a certain time period were forcibly taken from their families and forced to become “civilized”.

    It was really cool learning about how the aboriginals would do these “prescribed burns” where they would purposefully start small wildfires to burn away the undergrowth, which would in turn enrich the soil with lots of carbon. Really neat stuff
















  • I got so hooked into the settlement building. Downloaded a handful of settlement mods and spent 3 whole days repairing and outfitting the Castle. Then something happened to my mods folder and I had to redownload them all and didn’t make note of the order I had them in before. Loaded in the game and everything was broken/invisible. Huge letdown and I took a 7 month break. Now I’m getting back to it and finishing the main story before doing the DLCs
