One of those throwaway lines that still make me grin.

Aye, going into it now with the knowledge of where most stuff is has definitely taken some of the shine off. I’m currently playing it again though. It’s a bloody black hole that I can’t escape from long term.

I was with you until the Deep Rock Survivor, but good lord, that one is way better than halls of torment. While it’s not necessary, the ability to mine traps and hallways to escape is a sweet addition.

For anyone not believing this, go to https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer and do that consumer report. They are (depending on your state) required to tell you everything they have on you, and they include where it came from. It’s eye-opening.

Sure, facebook has been doing it for years. They build shadow profiles on people, allegedly ‘only’ (massive air quotes around that one) so if those people ever join they’ll have links and photos and such already waiting for them.

It definitely counts as an unreasonable change. If you quietly accept it, or quit due to it, you won’t get the help. If you set things up in your favor by replying to the mandate with language along the lines of ‘such a significant change to working conditions requires a renegotiation of my contract’ then you’re placing yourself in a good position to say that you were constructively dismissed, not that you quit.

A change from working wherever you are (which could be hours away if you were full remote) to the office is just as significant as being moved from one metropolis to another.

Holy crap, 3500 games‽ I thought I was bad with 1/10 of that and mostly low play hours. I wish I had your organization, because my factorio layout is so bad that I just gave up on trying to be small and well designed. Everything must have miles-long conveyors!

Ah, yes, mount and blade. Where not becoming a solo warrior of death horse archer is harder than not becoming a stealth archer in skyrim. If it helps, I liked to have big armies of the super ground archers and put two groups of shield infantry on the left and right of them. It seemed to work okay against horse archers.

Okay, so for the new folks with networking, how do you set up a honeypot wifi? Have a (second) router powered on with no connection? Or is it something you can set up with one router?

You can solve things? I had bought it and was waiting for release… and now I’m just building lots and lots of conveyors. I sort of have this fun idea to create a Mr. Bones ride with them… using clipping to push the character onto the next conveyor sliding along to the first.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who describes it that way. I prefer it over the vampire style because aiming is a thing.

Your math is off. You said one million per day, but your 1/10 of a billion would have it as one million per year

I use odysee, and so far it’s been nice.

Or that fungus that makes the snails look like they’ve simultaneously become interested in the rave scene and inflation.

I have no doubt that the USA has fingers in the pie of public sentiments elsewhere.

Russia has learned the power of Japan.

Try vesktop. Maybe that will help.

Don’t blueball me like that.

The people who I’ve tried to get on NoScript seem to have the brain capacity of goldfish. If the site doesn’t instantly work, it’s as if the sky has fallen and there is no way to convince them to pay attention to which scripts are actually needed.

It’s a rare breed that is willing to put up with toggling different scripts on and off. I’ll also acknowledge that too many people (including me) are in a giant rush. For work-type stuff, I have the laptop without noscript, because sometimes I do need something to work absolutely right now.

Short bursts, finding shade, and lots of water and wind (box fans, as the other fella mentioned). A good hat helps immensely. If you can duck inside someone’s AC, you take the fresh air like it’s the last soup you’ll ever have and you suck it in.
