When I worked help desk, a coworker of mine took a call where someone called in because one of the thin clients was on fire. The user was advised to call 911.
I was helping a user reset their password and the convo went something like this: Me: Ok, your temporary password is Password1. Log in with that and you’ll be prompted to change it. User: Is that a capital 1? Me: No, just a regular 1.
Me too! I’m not going anywhere over the next 2 weeks, but it will be nice to have the time off.
but at a glance
You must have missed this part. I’m well aware that Blue Protocol and Genshin Impact are very different, BUT AT A GLANCE, meaning only saw a few seconds of a trailer or some banner ads or something similar, they do look similar. It’s funny you bring up BotW, since many called Genshin a BotW ripoff, despite them not having much in common outside of being open world and same art style, BUT AT A GLANCE, they do look very similar. Anyone who looks into these games for more than 30 seconds should be able to see they’re quite different, but most will only be exposed to a few seconds of marketing, if anything, unless they’re actively looking for more info.
In Japan. It’s supposed to release globally sometime this year.
It’s an open world anime game with action combat. Sure, there’s more to it than that, but at a glance, I can see how people can make that connection.
I think he’s liked more because he’s relatable, rather than he’s an interesting character. Personally, I think his pranks on Dwight are amusing, but everything else about him is nothing special.
I think games with sprites are great, but I can’t say the same for low poly 3d games. Not every 3d game needs to have super high fidelity with millions of polygons making up each character’s face, but I think games using n64/ps1-style models is a bit too far in the opposite direction.
Haven’t played it myself, but from what a friend who has played it told me and from what I’ve read, the game was pretty buggy after launch, and the devs didn’t put much post-launch work into it.
Also, it’s an isometric ARPG, akin to Diablo, rather than a MOBA. Check out Last Epoch if you’re looking for a good ARPG.
“I fucked your mom”
Oh, so now you’re disappointing other people’s parents?
The article states that the PS5 is responsible for significantly more gaming hours, so a large number of PS4 users are likely mainly using their device for streaming or similar. Hell, I still have my PS2 and 3 in my closet since they’re my only dvd and blu ray players.
Ubisoft has stated in the article they will be redeployed to XDefiant and Rainbow Six.
Quite a few people in The Division community loved the Survival mode from Division 1, so I figured would have had a good audience. I’m a Division fan, but didn’t care for Survival or the Beta of Heartland, so can’t say I’m heartbroken over this.
It does! I’ve used it a couple times as well, you just need to be really careful not to add too much. I couldn’t tell you how much to use since I just eyeballed the amount I put in.
I’ve mixed quite a few things into mac & cheese. Ketchup has never been one of them.
Speaking of condiments, mixing about 1 tbsp of mustard (dijon works best, but regular yellow is fine too) into the cheese sauce helps bring out the cheese flavor, but doesn’t make it taste like mustard.
Not specifically a command, but my dog knows the sound of me taking my headset off. She figured out that me taking my headset off means I’m getting up, which means there’s a chance I’ll let her outside.
I went on a cruise 20 years ago with my family. We drove to New Orleans and stayed a couple days there before boarding the ship and hitting a couple spots in Mexico. Overall, the cruise was fine, but I actually enjoyed our time in New Orleans more. Some notable things from the cruise: -Security at the Mexican ports were packing some heat. I saw security personnel with Uzis and M16s. -The ship had a clothing-optional tanning deck, and I found it equal parts amusing and awkward to be walking with my parents among a bunch of topless/naked people laying around. For context, I was 18 and raised in a conservative christian household, so I hadn’t really been exposed (heh) to that kind of thing before. -The food on the ship was fine. They had a soda fountain and small pizza bar available 24 hrs/day. -A hurricane was entering the gulf towards the end of our cruise, which ruined our snorkeling activity. The waves wouldn’t let us swim very far from the shore. At least we got refunded for that part. -On the way back to NO, we sailed on the outskirts of said hurricane, so the waters were decently rough. Luckily, I don’t get motion sickness, but evidently, just about everyone else did. I got bored sitting in the cabin with my seasick family, so I walked around the ship. It was kinda eerie seeing almost no one else as I was walking around.
I don’t think I would do another cruise, since for that kind of money, I’d rather take a trip that I would enjoy more, not to mention the environmental impact those ships have.
Reboot was such a good show, and ahead of its time imo. I rewatched it a few years back, and there were so many tech jokes and references that went over my head as a kid.
I would make a game like Anthem, but good. I loved many aspects of that game: the exosuits, the co-op focused gameplay, the open world, and yes, I like looter shooters.
Other things I would do: -Combat/traversal would be a bit more ground-based. There would be jet-assisted jumping and maybe limited flight, but not sustained flight -A modular weapon system. Take a base handgun/long gun/launcher/etc and modify it to be rapid-fire, scatter shot, sniper, target-chaining, or whatever else. -A post-apocalyptic world with a harsh environment that requires vehicles or exosuits to get around in outside of established towns/shelters.
Other game Ideas I had: -A single-player story-driven game where you play as a battlemage in your nation’s military. The setting would be somewhat modern-day with magic. Due to the presence of magic, guns would be extremely limited or nonexistent, and I think would be an interesting idea to explore. -A gacha game without the gacha. I like games like Genshin Impact with the open world, exploration, characters to collect, team building, and regular content updates, but without the predatory monetization and focus on dull grinding and daily-logins to drive engagement. I’m not sure how feasible this would be without the amount of revenue a gacha game brings in, though. MMOs kinda do this, but I would want to build my own party, rather than play a single character.
I used to work help desk, so I’ve had lots of practice with patience of this sort, but I have come close a fair number of occasions. My company hires retired folk for some part-time positions, and I was helping one of them reset their password. I was on this call for 45 minutes because he couldn’t type the default password correctly, eventually his manager came by and helped him type it in and make a new one (against corporate security policy, but I was so done by then that I didn’t argue).
One thing I learned while working there is that most people, regardless of age or anything else, know exactly enough about computers to perform their job role, and as soon as they encounter anything slightly outside of their knowledge, it’s freakout time.
Hopefully finishing the paint job on my latest model and starting the build process.
