I got to make regular jokes about “being the new guy” and subtly shoot shade at the management team any chance I get.

I was in a very, very rough spot. Was mostly worth taking the offer. It sure beat wasting 13 years of obscure product knowledge at some new job for the less pay others were offering.

Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.

I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.

The clutch is a third pedal to the left of the brake which lets you disengage the engine and transmission so you can change the gear then let the pedal out, engaging the new gear.

With a clutch, the brake pedal is usually really narrow. So when you get into an automatic instincts will tell you to press the clutch and change gears but that pedal doesn’t exist and the wide brake pedal is there instead. Instead of changing gears, you slam the brake.

I stopped paying any attention to them when they started talking about NFTs. This is cool news.

I locked into something, but I have no idea what it is. Cool.

Fedora Core 4…? I have yet to fully take the plunge but we’ll get there.

Holy hell, that’s a wildly supurb owl.

Unrelated but you just said “but fuck”.

Getting comfortable not owning your games?

White vinegar, run them again. All good.

But I don’t want to stop.

From the looks of the crash test results, I might have to buy one of these to get in on the lawsuits that will come from those who are maimed in accidents with them.

I value my bones too much to bother doing that. But seriously, a lot of people are gonna get hurt.

I’ve always known he was a real ghoul. On his death, I decided to see if Behind the Bastards had an episode on him. Just a few weeks ago, they finished uploading the sixth episode on him of the series. What timing.

I’ve listened to them and wow. Knowing his story kinda makes me lose all hope in the decency of people.

Yay, I’m in bed now! Good thing, I was getting eepy.

An open world, survival, party based rpg. Survival elements are light and focused away from micromanaging every crop placement and every floorboard. Player parties build cities, forts, roads.

It’s like: Minecraft without the block gimmick or detailed building capabilities. Skyrim with more playable characters in a player built world without a set storyline. Valheim without the heavy focus on survival elements or linear progression. Party management and diversity like a tactics RPG.

I’d love it to have several for game loops to bury yourself into. City building, character builds, crafting, gathering…

And multiplayer capable, self hosting if desired.

This is a pipe dream. A game that huge is too difficult to make for a game that wouldn’t have larger appeal.

I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it’s been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn’t tell what any button was.

With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven’t had the time and patience to do it.

Way back when, I had a job where I used them regularly. Always had one on me at work. And therein, I had 4 or 5 at home any given day.

It sounds like an apartment building restriction, not a Spectrum restriction. The building wasn’t run for ethernet so they just put in wifi with a single modem for the building and called it a day.
