Does a just released mega patch to a 25 year old game count? If so, the 25th Anniversary edition of System Shock 2 is great.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 4 days ago:
What? I love spending my day going to meetings where I’m quizzed about things that won’t matter next week and writing Jira tickets.

Why not worship nature and wear special hats? Most of the witches I know do both.

- Comment on Generational differences 1 month ago:
It is crazy to me that I can just walk down the street to a store, buy some pot and wave at a cop on the way out. Even crazier is that my kids schools fundraising auction has weed gift baskets donated every year from the local dispensaries.

They met, they just didn’t interact. Kinda like me at a work party.

Buttermilk roasted chicken is delicious, so I assume it’s a similar lactose reaction. And you’d use goats milk because you have goats.
- Comment on With ‘AI slop’ distorting our reality, the world is sleepwalking into disaster 2 months ago:
It’s a cat and mouse game, at best. If you have a tool that can reliably detect AI slop, then that tool can be used as part of the training process to fool the detection tool.

I really miss the unhinged topiary that used to be outside of every fast food restaurant when I was a kid.

Same here.
- Comment on Recommend me a steam deck game 4 months ago:
Have you taken a look at TheDarkMod? It’s a Thief 1&2-like game with several fantastic campaigns.
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 4 months ago:
You’re going to get a lot of advise about what makes life worth living, but it sounds like you have low level depression. Talking to a therapist and looking at an antidepressant are your first steps, along with the other things that can help with low level depression.

“Subtle” thirst trap. Trying to get people to click on the profile which will have a link to whatever spam they’re peddling.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 5 months ago:
Just started Baldurs Gate 3 and have been enjoying it so far. My biggest complaint is that the keyboard map is just off enough from the Owlcats Pathfinder games that I keep screwing up small things.
Also looking at getting back into the system Shock remake since the big box finally showed up yesterday.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 5 months ago:
I just finished my third playthrough of it. I was disappointed to find out at the end that I screwed up one of the story points I was going after, but oh well. It was still a fun experience. After three time though I doubt I’ll go through it again. Still one of my favorites.
- Comment on Anything tempting you? 5 months ago:
Not a game per se, but I’m probably going to get a Switch2 on launch day. I have a Switch Lite, but want to be able to play couch multiplayer with my kids, starting with Mario Kart and some dancing game to get in some activity.
- Comment on Should i selfhost? 5 months ago:
As a point of reference, I built a 32TB Synology last year. I took me an afternoon to get it done, plus set up Plex media server, all the arrs and friends, a backup server and a couple other things. Since then maintenance has consisted of remembering to hit the “update containers” button once a month or so. I should probably automate that part but just haven’t bothered yet.
- Comment on Should i selfhost? 5 months ago:
A lot of NAS are capable of hosting containerized services. The Synology DS series, for example, can run everything you’ve mentioned and so much more. For a relatively gentle into check out mariushosting.com
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 5 months ago:
I’m going to try getting back into RDR2, and start on Undertale and Prey. Maybe Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Fallout 4?
- Comment on What's next after Half-Life? 6 months ago:
It’s mostly covers of pop songs from the last 50-60 years in a bunch of different styles. The stand outs for me are Fortunate Son, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
- Comment on What's next after Half-Life? 6 months ago:
I’d love to see a System Shock remake type project for them. It’s not as necessary due to NewDark but would still be nice.
- Comment on What's next after Half-Life? 6 months ago:
But the soundtrack is 🤌
- Comment on What's next after Half-Life? 6 months ago:
Then add Thief 1&2 to the list so that you really get where those two came from. They both still hold up surprisingly well due to fan support.
- Comment on Years later, I finally completed Kingdom Come Deliverance 7 months ago:
I really, really want to like KCD, but after a bad experience early on I’ve never been able to get back into it. There is a mission fairly early on where you need to sneak from one end of a large map to the other. There was a lot to do and explore on it, so it probably took me 60-90 minutes. Then right at the end I got jumped by 4-5 soldiers and died. And because of KCDs aggressivly-anti save system, I would have had to repeat the entire thing. I get that KCD is supposed to be super hard core, but I’m a busy dad of two small kids. Finding an uninterrupted pocket of 90 minutes to enjoy a game is a rare luxury, so having it ended like that completely soured the game for me.
More games need a “busy parent” easy mode.

“That that” can and probably should be replaced with “that which” in almost every instance it is used.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 8 months ago:
I’ve left two jobs because they were toxic. I always had something else lined up beforehand though.
