You'll do way better than I did. I got stuck in Sekiro (after really enjoying it) at that one guy at the top of the building. I like to think that is one of the most common quitting spots in all of video gaming.

I'll reluctantly admit that I gave up on the real end boss and chose the weak ending instead just to complete the game and move on. I spent about 2 hours trying to beat him but threw in the towel. Backlog is too big for that stuff.

Just finished it. Surprisingly good. They shouldn't have made the cover photos look so gay - would have maybe paid for it.

One friend required? Damn, I'm out.

One of the passwords I use is my CC # (plus uppercase, lowercase, !) from like 2001 before that stuff was saved in your browser / phone. I have no idea what my CC#s are anymore.

Pink throne yard art at a friend of mine's place. There's a real, regular outhouse on the other side of the property that has the entire seating area bedazzled, with led strobe lights that turn on when you open the door. Fake edit: the trees are all mangled after the tornadoes that we had in NW...

Man. Faxanadu. I mowed like 50 yards to get enough money to buy each game... and at that point in time, I selected Rygar over Faxanadu. What a terrible decision that was. I eventually rented Faxanadu a few times in a row and beat it. I recall it in a positive light, mostly because of how bad...

Most/all refrigerators ship with bypass plugs already installed. I leave them installed because I filter the water in my house at the inlet. RO system under the sink, line ran from there to the fridge. I still have to clear the replace filter light every few months, but no filters have ever been...

CoderPad technical interview tomorrow. Not really looking forward to it. I can't recall the last time I ever did one of these... maybe never. It's for a site reliability position, so it could be anything. We'll see how it goes.

Yeah. Thought about mentioning WoW, but it’s really after like 2002ish it’s > 90% of games. It is easier to start talking about the exceptions.

Those who think Halo was peak are just younger. Everyone reminisces about stuff you experienced when you were going through puberty. I graduated in 97. I can still recite more gangster rap than I care to. I want Starter jackets to make a come back. Etc. Peak fps gaming for me was qwtf. Class...

Friend of mine linked this. I tried it out and had about a third of the options already selected. Not bad for a single executable. I do like how they suggest/encourage/nearly force you to create a restore point before you start fiddlin'. https://github.com/itsfatduck/optimizerDuck

While I have a few things on disc, I look at it in the following lazy way. We are all mostly old enough to recall TVs without remotes. The 12 channel dial selector that requires you to get up and fiddle with It in order to change the program. That is how I view digital vs disc games. In my...

CEC is garbage. Yes, please switch to the input 3 when one of my kids docks the Switch to charge while we're watching TV on input 1. Very helpful. It also doesn't work well / at all with receivers.

Terrible meme. "you're excited about" - not the choice metric when it comes to voting with your wallet. I was excited about Dragon's Dogma 2. Should I have bought that at full price, instead of waiting to see how it landed? Trust but verify. If you want a key word to use for the next meme...
