I had a sort of epiphany the other day. I have been tinkering with my SteamDeck a bit. I get a lot of use out of it because its just convenient to carry around and I can play in bed. I still prefer at my desk for any sessions more than an hour. This past week I'd been messing with the steam dock...

I don't have tons of "static" things on the desk outside of the keyboard, mouse. I like that I can use the other side of the L desk to do whatever. I don't have a workshop in the garage setup at the moment so I make do. I also hate clutter in general and already had too much of that anyway...

Danes are just a gayer version of the awesome Swedish Chef, King of Swedes.

I have a massive desk. I just like most of it to be free space. I have this model I think: https://www.upliftdesk.com/uplift-v2-l-shaped-special-order-solid-wood-standing-desk/?18860=2593&18861=14091&18863=17832&18862=2791&18864=5175&18917=11390&18912=11393&18914=11667

A full size keyboard is just a no can do for me anymore. I like my desk to have space on it.

I have a MMO mouse with the 12 key thumb panel and I do use that. I am not a heathen. Trust.

Everyone here is a poopsocker yes. But most people don't pick races to minmax. Poopsockers all do though. Wood Elf was one of the most popular races forever. Because they were cute. Similarly in WOW even assuming a faction balance how much of Horde were Blood Elves? How much of the Alliance was...

Going on 20 years as a professional programmer I have never once wished I had a numpad.

Hey now. I have used this guy for years: MX Master mouse is dope too.

I was never able to be a bootlicker. I know this has been detrimental in my career but I just can't make myself suck up to anyone. I'd rather be homeless. Fuck em. A lot more people succeed due to bootlicking than skill though. Just the way it is.

Yeah they're cunts then if they don't. I got a spot bonus of $10k a couple years ago just for doing a huge data migration project alone. As we moved from one ordering system to another. That whole effort cost at most $2M for the company. Of which I only did that small piece.

Nothing prevents you from making Linux stuff on the Mac. Its actually even easier than on Windows. You probably need a Windows machine for Microsoft native stuff though. I work in backend infrastructure and having a Windows machine has been nothing but a drag doing that kind of work. I hate them...

Their "AI" biometric monitoring and profiling of your sleep patterns or some retard shit.

Ogres are cool. When I finally played an Ogre Shaman during a TLP it was absolutely wild that getting hit by stuff had zero effect on your casting. I had played Dark Elf all through EQ. Presuming every single person plays min max to the core is kinda dumb anyway. Even if minmaxing is generally...

I purchased from APMEX as I didn't want to deal with vetting sources. It's cheaper to just up the quantity on their rounds/bars than actually buying their monster boxes. 🤔 Best I could figure just buy their APMEX stamped shit because they will buy that back at the best rate. Since they don't...

Got one of these after wanting one for a bit. Yes it is intentionally blank like this as I like the autism factor. I've used a Logitech MX keys mini for some years. https://hhkeyboard.us/hhkb/pro-hybrid-type-s/charcoal-blank

Once you go Mac you don't go back man. I fucking hate the WSL.

I've never bought bullion until October after reading @Synj simp for it. Bought the below between Mid-Oct and Thanksgiving. I admit is kind of cool having actual coins and bars. I gave one to each of my nieces and nephews for Xmas and they thought i twas the coolest thing. Way cooler than just...

So does it have classes or RPG elements or what?

I enjoyed the tests I've messed around on. I won't be sinking any time here until full release though.

Chained Soldier has excellent fight animation despite otherwise being fan service trash.

If WoW taught anyone anything its this. Maintaining a deliberately cartoony or stylish aesthetic makes your game hold up longer. This applies to all games. 1990 Super Mario World on the SNES still looks great 35 years later. Zelda Windwaker still looks good 23 years later. WOW Classic, even on...

I mean she can get all hot and bothered she wants. I always took it that the process to make you into a Space Marine or Custodes makes you sterile. The laundry list of mental brainwashing, surgical, alchemical, and cybernetic enhancements turning you into an inhuman killing machine without the...

Both Space Marines and Custodes are transhuman celibate warriors and monks who live only for the Emperor. Space Marine Chapters and the entire mythology draw heavily from Catholicism (not even kidding). They have the "Council of Nikea" in 40k and the Council of Nicea which was a real life event...

Roll over and die is really mid. I have no idea why its front and center this season.

A recruiter reached out to me about a position at this company. I did the first interview out of curiosity. https://www.eightsleep.com The recruiter had this laundry list of things to do in advance. Read this white paper, watch this video, have all this stuff prepared to ask him. I watched the...

I know its been mentioned that canned tuna is poor man's food and whatnot. But it does have some great uses. Knowing that, I come from a fishing town and my father was a career tuna fisherman. I encourage you to try premium fish that just happens to be canned. Yes it isn't cheap at all. It's...

IDK man, I like games as much as anyone but I've never noticed a significant difference between the Logitech dongle and bluetooth.

I have Logitech mice, keyboards, and a keychron keyboard that all allow multiple. I don't love bluetooth but I like it more than wired everything.

At my office our CEO has a "Chief of Staff." Now, the guy holding this role was the lead financial analyst for 5 years. He knows just about everything about the company's finances and exactly how to hunt down the right people and things to provide the CEO and the rest of the C-Suite the best...

I made brisket for the small New. Year's Eve party with my wife's friend group. This one turned out really well and it was only like a 7lb brisket. Nothing fancy just something to go along with the other things people brought. Wife made a nice decorated cake and the others brought various...

Define "Idle."

I don't even run windows at home anymore. I just have Mac and Linux. PS5 works perfectly with both of them and I don't even have to mess with it lol.

Okay for some years I've been using an Xbox Elite controller on my PC. In the past few months I've been messing around with games on various devices like Steamdeck but I just want to use the one controller. I discovered that the Xbox controller has no memory for bluetooth/wireless to multiple...

The kids use Robinhood. But you can use any platform for this really. The Robinhood disruptor removed trading fees from the big names like Etrade, Ameritrade, Fidelity, etc.

As I already have a lot of investments at this point I bought a good amount of silver coins when they were ~$45. This was mainly because I thought it was cool and I had some cash laying around as, if anything, you just don't want to hold too much cash in general. Rather than put a relatively...

Do they expect you to give them money in some roundabout way? My mom knows I do really well. One of my nieces told me she knew I was rich. Rich being relative to them of course. Nobody has had the gall to ask me for anything but I guess that day is coming. I gave all of my nieces and nephews a...

Because this area has several oyster farms in a 10 mile radius they are part of most events. Raw, boiled, broiled, steamed, you name it. Today we are having some raw on the half shell and some steamed with a nice light butter garlic sauce. I've never made Yorkshire pudding before. Will put it...
