Linkin Park + Shitty last name + I think the number was random 20+ years ago

My relationship with them was already in very thin ice due to repeated trust issues over the years, but what finally sealed it was my coming out to my dad and his response being “it’s all because of this woke generation”. Coming from someone who I thought had a very left leaning stance, therapy over the following years made me realize just how shitty and homophobic they really were. Turns out I’m probably more bi than gay (also ace), but it still stands.
REAL Steel. Would be amusing if they got Jackman to promote 😄
FYI your link has an extra bracket up front that breaks it. Was wondering why it wasn’t working 😋
Ditto for ETS2 / ATS. I don’t play them enough. With the Road Trip update coming out soon, it’ll be even better. I’ve been craving a solid driving sim that’s not racing. A leisurely drive through the Nordic landscape would be great.
Other than that, if I have the energy and wherewithal to stand, Skyrim VR, sometimes it’s nice to wander without worry.
It’s most definitely true. The game consists of adding mods until it breaks the Gamebryo/Creation Engine, then Todd Howard climbs out of your monitor and forces you to play Starfield, day one edition. It consists only of load screens.
Wonderful! Adding mod after mod is fun and all, but I do yearn for the day I can say the game is “complete”. Modding has still become its own game to me, and my roomies actually have told me I like that more than playing the games I mod. They… aren’t wrong :P
Once you get into Wabbajack modding, that number will quickly increase. I’m at… checks MO2 list 814 mods. And now I’m at the ESP cap of 254, so I’ve gotta be really selective with mods, as they need to be ESL, and unlike Vortex, There’s no easy way to mark ESPs as light without using edit scripts.
But lucky you /s, I don’t have a friend group to talk with this chaos to… Discord chats ever so often tho.
We have this card game called Ducking High which is basically a bunch of stoner questions and philosophical inquiries and get your mind all goofy. It’s honestly even good for non-high activities, lots of good icebreaker topics.
You aren’t wrong about the SP getting boring at times. I’ll usually find myself kitted out after a week in game and bored and then asking “what next?”, and then I’ll either create a new character in that same world but on the other side of the map, and see how far they can get. Still waiting for mods like RV Interiors to be released, as they are holding out until a proper stable beta of B42 is released… so that could be some time. Granted I’ve also been using Week One as a baseline mod for PZ, as it revitalizes the baseline start to be more in line with “how does this apocalypse truly go down?”. Is it perfect, far from it, but it adds just enough plausibility to make you feel immersed even further. As for MP, I’m not a fan at all. I tend to play most all games SP, as I’m a very patient gamer and usually jump onto the MP bandwagon too late to feel included.
I will say that CDDA has piqued my interest, but I’m not a huge fan of turn based anything, although weirdly I will get into some of them. May have to give this a shot myself… once I have time.
I think I’ve been spoiled by the massive modding community with PZ, as I feel there’s always something that’s added that feel right within the game world. Sure, there are plenty of non-lore friendly mods, but stuff like adding all the classic consoles into the loot pile, or real world foods keep the immersion up quite well.
Always gonna recommend Project Zomboid. Yeah it may look like the Sims (which oddly is where TIS got their art influence from), but it’s pretty darn unforgiving. Hell, I lost my last character without realizing how, chalking it up to some strange drug interaction (aka don’t drink and take sleeping pills, kids). Resource management, while not a direct focal point for PZ, is still important as you are watching every aspect of your character’s health and wellbeing.
The latest beta build 42 has incorporated some new mechanics and a nicer lighting system so things feel proper spooky when slinking around in the darkness. And don’t even get me started on the modding community. Infinite possibilities and a constant influx of new content, some which gets so popular it’s adding into the base gameplay. Look up Week One if you want more than just a zed simulator.
I also second Stardew if you are also looking to scratch that cozy gaming itch.
Voidigo is pretty unique I think. Chaotic roguelite with unique and sometimes asinine weaponry. Sure, it can sometimes feel a bit like Enter the Gungeon, but I feel the art style separates it a good bit from that and other top down shooters. Plus the guns and melee can be a bit crazy in their own right.
You are absolutely correct. This is what happens when I comment way too early lol
Solid base just outside West Point proper. A few too many windows and egresses, but glad you were still able to fortify.
BTW, B41 stable or B42 unstable?
I just heard they’re still on for the movie. That, and it looks like Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne had a relatively recent update.
Not quite, but the goatee may be spreading…

Just did that at my workplace, and the Windows App (at least for MacOS), was just all around shittier. It removed all of the previously setup VMs and standalone desktops staff would remote into for certain programs not compatible in an Apple environment, and then it killed the shared folder connection between devices, so for a short while there, we had to use OneDrive as a “quick and dirty” workaround. Finally got it working, but it took the full removal of the Windows App, including digging into every Library folder to delete any straggler files. Oh and it also would forget the reconnected remote sessions we’d set up, so that every time you closed it, you’d need to recreate the remote session.
Can you tell I am pissed? Least it was a one time sitch so far, but damn.
I’m in a multi-school district org handling public schooling, but I only handle 2 schools myself. I mostly help teachers and staff, but ever so often the kids have curiosities and questions too.
IT help desk (combined L1/L2 ish) in education. Pull in a smidge under $70k plus bennies/pension/etc. Live comfortably enough and have some leftover to treat myself reasonably.
Bit concerned what happens with the US DoE though…
You just had to put Chemical Zone as the first pic… Childhood horror unlocked. That music.
It was also truly novel at the time to use a secondary cartridge to enhance the first 3 games, injecting that unique echidna traversal into each one. Were there any other games that did that?
On the upside, the trailer for Mania was a real treat when it first dropped and it also got me to love Nitro Fun and Hyper Potions. I think I’ll jump back into it tomorrow 😁
