I mean, small sample size, but I’ve never worn a crop top and I haven’t been brutally murdered, well, yet.

If anyone is looking for a search engine term, they are all Abrahamic religions, if memory serves.

We keep the front mowed for the HOA.

The backyard can grow until we worry about snakes affecting our pups.

We have a front garden that gets no care outside HOA recommendations. It came with the house.

Can’t wait until I can OWN a house, but the market (with all the influences upon it) isn’t there.

I’m saving, and considering moving to another state, if that helps all the pedantic monsters our there.

2080TI, running Starfield at max settings with 4k texture mods, reporting in.

I want a top of the line GPU, I just can’t find a good enough reason to shell out the money. It keeps plugging away, runs smooth as butter with a slight overclock, and I have no complaints. I heard lots of complaints about the 4*** series cards though.

I’ve saved up for a top of the line GPU twice now, and I’d rather spend it spoiling my wife and doing the nice things we can’t usually afford.

I thought teams sucked as a user experience… my last job, well my last job I was IT. If it involved a computer I was involved.

Anyways, administrating teams is a fucking god awful nightmare, honestly a lot of Microsoft’s eco system is awful as a sysadmin. But teams and sharepoint take the cake for being fucked.

Nah, been a minute since I dug that laptop out of a bag.

The gashes I gather all come from a lab network I set up at home.

Just practice, studying towards changing to a security role from more general IT roles.

Edit: gashes = hashes, leave per request lol.

I having a gaming laptop. 13 inch Razer blase stealth.

I bought it for the GPU and its compact size.

Let’s me do some hash cracking while at work, though if its some serious work I’ll boot into Linux on my gaming rig and do it there, but I don’t like to tie it down when I could be playing games.

As I get older and older I have less and leas free time.

Unless things change drastically for their RPG division, I’ll repeat what I’ve said since oblivion. Bethesda makes great modding platforms, the content within the game is a loose theme that modders can play with.

Yes the new Fallouts are just TES in the Apocalypse.

Yes starfield is little more than TES in space.

I buy Bethesda games for mod potential.

If they said no mods to all future games I wouldn’t buy another one. I don’t play ESO and I have never touched fallout 76 for this reason.

PC, I couldn’t get it past 800x600 resolution.

Now is it possible that was an option? Sure, I couldn’t see much the way it tried to render on a 4k monitor.

The point is, I couldn’t access their remake on modern (for the time) hardware.

One of the few returns I’ve made on steam.

On Amalur, I made a character and quit when I couldn’t play in a modern resolution

I played the original and enjoyed it well enough though.

Was that based on a more adult (but still young) reading level? The name sounds familiar and I grew up on RL Stine until I found the deluge of books set in the forgotten realms (Dungeons and Dragons setting, for clarity, not written by Stine)

Imagine losing your father in a tragic fashion, only for Hollywood execs to make a marketable facsimile of appearance and voice. If they could store his corpse and make it dance like a marionette they would.

Talk about retraumatizing the poor lady.

As a person who sleeps through alarms and is approaching middle age…

It is a problem.

I wish I had some advice, but I am accepting advice lol.

They do get sold directly to some consumers, if its free product its all profit, though both your points are also valid.

Sole IT person for a corporation and was on call 24/7/365.

It was just supposed to be a help desk position.

It was for an MSP that… Well, the whole thing was a nightmare, but I had lost my IT hospitality job due to covid and the place shuttering. I was desperate.

My first thought was Grand Prismatic, just after dawn.

Cool enough that the thermal features create a fog over the water, and more importantly, all the tourists (I was a hotel employee in the park) were still in bed. Had the boardwalk area all to myself.

I think I just sat in contemplation for half an hour, which if you knew me would say is impossible. Very peaceful.

Do you have any sources on that?

I’m not trying to call you out, I’m interested in reading more.

I’ve developed some PTSD like symptoms for when my phone goes off.

Notification, call, whatever. Immediate panic and I have to remember to breathe.

Even trimming every notification I can, it still happens several times throughout the day, and my phone only has audible notifications when I’m at home, most from my wife.

I left that job over a year ago and still I can’t shake it.

I bought after it released.

So far I’ve seen a lot of Bethesda typical bugs, but nothing game breaking yet.

Yes the first few hours of a play through are a slog, after it opens up more it becomes much more enjoyable. A live another life type mod would make me immensely happy.

That being said, Bethesda does a good job of making a platform for modding, and thats the KEY thing that keeps me buying, and playing again and again, Bethesda games.

For that reason ESO just never had the magic to me, I understand a lot of mods found for single player games would be highly unbalanced and its not an option for an MMO. That said, without mods Bethesda games are lackluster and I quickly lost interest despite trying to enjoy it a few times. I like MMOs too, don’t get me wrong, I’m not someone who only plays shooters being introduced to an MMO.

I’m excited to see what the modding community can do once the tools are released in 2024.

I found a script for bypassing captive portals on Linux back in the day…

The full functionality of how it works escapes me at the moment, but essentially it searches the network for a host that possibly already connected through the captive portal and spoofs their MAC address.

This isn’t the one I originally found, but its the same principal and a Kali tool, so it may be considered more secure than the original bash script I copied back in the day:
