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...

Each time this thread pops up I'm reminded that the next time anyone attempts to build a new PC, it will be back to like 1980s era pricing, where things were extremely expensive. Everyone who paid < $1500 (maybe more?) for a video card in the past few years should hope and pray that it doesn't...

Quality of life in... the form factor?! I'm not sure how much my quality of life is affected by the case I choose to house my computer components.

Several rounds of layoffs here. Ramping up in India. It's the worst. I come back from a nearly 2 week vacation and I have 900 emails in my inbox. That's with the rules I've accumulated after being here for over a decade. They turned on Datadog alerting while I was out. That accounts for the...

I saw a winner last week in MS.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but here's a bad idea. There are pros and cons to the "Warframe model" where you continuously update a game forever. I think that might make sense for the Destiny model, with the lower player count - why split the playerbases between two games? Why spin down...

I have tried 4 times so far and never made it to endgame without losing interest in the game.

Playing this out of my backlog... Was free on PS Plus at some point. In the 3rd biome currently. Pretty great game, especially as I was just backloggin' around. Pleasantly surprised.

Witcher 1 and Witcher 2?! Ba dum tss...

I thought Vermintide, especially 2, was way better.

Picked up Speed Freeks for $8.

The pull of the mines is too strong. Return to Moria on PS5 the past week or so.

Yeah, even with surge protection at the pole and on my power over ethernet devices, in the past 2 years I've had to replace: 2x garage door opener control boards 1x outdoor AP 1x indoor AP 1x poe switch 3x point to point ubnt wifi APs Lightning is fun.

You guys act as if the dollar amount is the sticking point. You guys are potentially wasting your time on a dogshit product. You will have a lot more information in order to make an informed decision on how you spend your time if you don't buy stuff at launch. I bet you guys bought Dragon's...

Put this shit towards NPC behaviors, combat interactions, and other gameplay stuff for gods sake.

Gross

No preorders. I’m also never paying full price for anything ever again.

My project manager got the axe because he ”wasn’t a doer” and guess what? I’m now managing 4 additional projects. I am not really a project manager. Had to change to the $200/mo Claude plan to keep up with everything.

Of course the Indian CEO tapped another Indian to run Xbox.

Just a note on this - Ultima Online had this from the beginning. The only dungeon-found gear that I ever had (and lost) was looted from someone's body. The guild had a bunch of crafting alts making weapons and armor, so there was a minimum amount of gear on hand at any time. Those who played a...

Well the good news is that it is 3 vs 3. That’s plenty of people!

What are your thoughts on the recent goings on as a true believer?

I couldn’t handle all the loading screens in this game.

Congrats @Koushirou

I didn’t even make it past the intro. To me, this looks and feels like Nioh 1 on the PS4. I've already played that game.

I was thinking about some kind of SRE consultancy where I’d offer some kind of quick turnaround plan to actually go to market with whatever AI slop they cooked up. And then professional services on top of that to get things where they need to be code wise. Want to team up?
