I’ve messed with the origin potions but haven’t completed the quest to get the recipe. I tend to gravitate to rougelike/lites, so I enjoy the actual process of a fresh start too.

I really like it. I have restarted so many times trying to play different character builds and still gravitate back to a heavy hitter in either physical or magic damage. I have only gotten part way into act 2 because of my severe case of restartitis. I think the writing is enjoyable with just enough weirdness and cheese (on multiple levels) to make it land well. The fact that a small studio pulled it off and continues to release free DLC and a full expansion is amazing.

I believe I have played Skyrim the most in terms of time, but I’ll have to go with Oblivion for the sheer nostalgia factor and superior writing of the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild questlines. I haven’t played Morrowind, so I need to give that a shot… right after finally finishing Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

Slinging 3.5” floppies in the basement, executing the games from DOS. Playing Doom with my dad: He would work the movement controls, and I got to press Ctrl to shoot!

- Comment on "Never let them see you bleed" vs "Don't waste your life trying to conceal your limp." What is some other sound, but completely contradictory advice? 1 month ago:
I like the version, “Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes that reason is you’re stupid.”

Netbird is a zero trust mesh VPN, very similar to Tailscale. My use would be accessing my Jellyfin and Navidrome servers remotely

Yes, I’m a geologist by education and career. I self-host a few different services but keep them all on my LAN. Setting up Netbird is on my to-do list, but I’m simply not confident enough in the network security aspects to expose anything outside of a VPN tunnel.
