  Hey! Where’d you get that picture of me?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you taken a look at TheDarkMod? It’s a Thief 1&2-like game with several fantastic campaigns.

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But the soundtrack is 🤌

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's next after Half-Life?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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.

  To claim a subdomain in the DNS system you have to have the domain first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the worst sales technique.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My motorcycle dealer has a similar sign about being sad and ugly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate that that happens⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve left two jobs because they were toxic. I always had something else lined up beforehand though.
