Someone else’s comment about LAN parties jog my memory. I only ever attended one (big one in a university auditorium), and for the most part, it was kind of meh. Until late in the night, a game of Savage got going, something myself and my friends had never played before. After a few other people hopping in and out of the commander role, I decided to give it a go. Before long, the game just clicked. I had four of my friends at the table around me designated as squad leaders and was barking orders to them as they moved across the map, I beefing them up with spells, poi ting out enemies, etc. It’s the only time that I can recall getting into a real tactical squad-based flow.
I didn’t chase that experience much, though, because nothing recreated the physical space I was in. I went on to play Savage 2, which I loved for a time, but I almost always eschewed the commander role.
Aerial dueling in Starsiege Tribes was a high for me that I will always chase. Any game that offers that freedom of movement + timing of shots always piques my interest. Wall running and leaping as the Alien in AVP 2 did much the same.

It wouldn’t surprise me if there was an underlying sature of soulless consumerism in the game.

What about tables, pivot tables, power query, grouping of rows and columns , and how is formula/function parity (xlookup, index, match, sumproduct, etc)?
I’ve made some truly Frankenstein sheets that I’m not sure could be stitched together elsewhere.

- Comment on Sync-in, a new alternative to Nextcloud 2 months ago:
Does sync-in use file structure like Nextcloud (where the files are accessible in a standard directory structure outside of the application) or is it flat storage like Seafile/Pydio/etc?
- Comment on Oh My God, TAKE IT DOWN Kills Parody 2 months ago:
To qualify, the depiction must appear, in the eyes of a reasonable person, indistinguishable from a real image.
So if the act is used to criminalize this depiction, in doing so it acknowledges that tiny pecker is indistinguishable from Trump’s penis?

- Comment on Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware. 3 months ago:
2.5 years and I recall going to the hospital to see my sister in maternity ward nursery display and asking which one was her. My dad pointed her out among the babies there but I recall not being sure of which one he meant. I also recall, from the following weeks, my parents treatment of her umbilical cord snippet with rubbing alcohol and asking what they were doing.
After that, my next coherent memory is around the toilet training stage but I don’t know the exact age. I recall feeling the urge to go poop then trying to get to the bathroom but not making it. So I pooped on the floor, then picked it up with a diaper, disposed of it, and with pride told my mom what I had just accomplished.

- Comment on Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition reveal trailer 4 months ago:
NWN is one of (if not my all time) favourite game, both offline and online.
I played through the NWN2 SP campaign and thoroughly enjoyed it ( though I started and never finished the final expansion.)
The biggest disappointment for me was the changes to multiplayer that made it a lot harder to drop into servers. If I am recalling correctly, you had to pre-download (outside of the game) the meshes for landscapes before joining a server. It was a huge barrier to entry, and even dedicated communities that tried to move from 1 over to 2, faltered.
