I’m still salty about Westwood.

I’d say a bit earlier than that personally (wife and I agree that 28 is around that sweet spot). Old enough to have independence and chill out, but young enough that you don’t randomly end up with a headache all damn day because you slept slightly wrong.

The optimal age is 28. It’s late enough that you may at least be hitting a stride professionally (though don’t stress too much if you’re not), you’ve chilled out a bit from your earlier 20’s, and your body (generally) hasn’t begun to betray you yet.

Loooved Dungeon Keeper back in the day.

To preface: this is from a previous bout of hyper focus curiosity (i.e. I am not an expert). But the human genome is significantly more complex than “XX chromosome means biological female”. Other genomic markers can trigger that don’t align with the typical, which can result in male reproductive organs on a person with XX chromosome and vice versa. XX and XY are also not the only options. There are three, four, and even five somal groupings (e.g. XXY, XYY, XXX - note that to my understanding, you can’t have all Y chromosomes even in these outliers). If anyone has further information or any corrections for me, I’d welcome them - I’m going off of memory from a couple of years ago and it’s not directly relevant to me (i.e. I am cis-male with no known chromosomal abnormalities)

They felt like it? Their brain worded the thought using “his or her”?

On top of that, many people will see a Mennonite and think “Amish.”

I think it could serve that purpose (and honestly has to some degree), but the big thing that I didn’t consider when I was young was that a lot of people just want to hate (or to convince others to be focused on hate), and will find spaces to spread and amplify that hate. I underestimated the capacity and drive of those that would spread fear and anger.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was young, I thought the Internet would bring the world together since you could sit and have a conversation with people all over the world with different perspectives, and befriending those from different walks of life would help break us out of small-town small-mindedness where everyone “not like us” is scary…

Yeah, I might have been a bit too optimistic with that one.

Bopl Battle is a hilarious party game for up to 4 people. The rounds go really quick so it’s a great game to play with friends when you have a limited amount of time, but the fun doesn’t wear out fast either.

Dude I loved that game back in the day. So many great mods for it too

Pretty sure people have been shitting on AI pretty heavily as well, partly for those reasons (but also for several others).

The thing with those is that, while it was a small amount of content, it wasn’t just a mission, each was about an hour of repeatable content that was fairly fun to farm. At $2, they actually still felt worth it with as much fun as B2 was. If they had asked for like $10 each, people would have flipped out.
I’m not a Starfield player, but I would bet this is not even close to as good of a value proposition.

Is the token not keyed to a specific source? I would have expected it to operate similarly to an SSL cert, where part of the verification process is that the source is the correct origin that the token belongs to - so if someone just lifted a valid cert to put into a malicious one, it would catch anything from changing a single character in the project name to changing the repository host (i.e. GitHub to GitLab)

Hey, I also was a Joey user. I am pretty tech savvy (I’m a software dev and a former sys admin). I’m not a Linux daily user though, so I still understand that out of place feeling. Like I have used Linux for things, but after working on my computer all day for work, I don’t exactly want to deal with roadblocks or tinkering on my computer in the evening.
I have also noticed that I spend less time scrolling on here than I did on Reddit, which is a good thing for me. It’s a place where I can satisfy that itch without getting lost in scrolling of posts or comment sections for hours.

Bart Bonte’s games are really satisfying. The only one I didn’t personally care for as much is Sugar Game, but all of the colors are fun little puzzle games.

I’m pretty sure the minimum ASVAB score is like 30. I’m pretty sure you could get that by randomly guessing on most of it. I try not to be too harsh in my judgements of the less intelligent but holy fuck do you have to be dumb to be fully disqualified.

Yeah, this is one scenario where the principles in F2P games like MOBAs applies to the business world. Focusing only on the top X companies and losing that market share has a cascading effect where it’s harder to find competent administrators, it’s harder for those administrators to find support online (which then means they have to call for the support they pay for - which while good in the short term for VMWare, is frustrating for the customer, and means that the extra money they’re charging has to partially be used to cover techs to provide said report). The little fish in a market like this help to provide what is essentially free troubleshooting online via stack overflow etc. And giving that market share to competitors gives them the cash flow and experience to build a support system online and improve their product, and then win over the big fish.

But the problem with that is if she doesn’t say some stupid shit to piss people off, she won’t be in the news. And could you IMAGINE no longer being relevant enough to hold on to that attention? It’s horrid.

That’s not to say that she doesn’t genuinely hold her shitty views, but she can’t just shut the fuck up because then she wouldn’t get any attention anymore, especially after pissing off a large portion of her core audience.

When a company stops supporting devices like this, the devices and their documentation and code should be required to enter the public domain. It should not be allowed for assistive devices to become e-waste stuck in a patient’s body.
