Ok the Hyper 7 totally blew me away. Absolute overkill hit damn I wish I had money to burn on that right now.

I’m the type that has to have the number pad, I play a lot of older games that tend to be much easier to play with it for keyboard shortcuts, and I’m just way better at typing numbers invites the top row.

I am still blown away that I only heard of TempleOS recently. And also blown away by the actual OS. Like holy hell what a thing.

Home self hosted stuff is definitely the only time I usually get to have fun with this stuff. Work can sometimes involve fun problem solving but by the time you cut through all the red tape to get it anywhere the thrill is gone.

Modular synthesizer. Modulating the white noise generator with a slow LFO to create a nice ocean wave background kinda sound.

Those were truly wonderful times. I remember even around 2000 campus network security was minimal to non-existent and we were all just going wild and I learned so much.

Skyrim had a huge world reveal coming out of a cave after the opening sequence.

I still have my Ultima VI Compendium and Map, all of the details in them and the game lore added so much.

If Michael Angelo Batio had 4 arms he’d have to up his game to an Octa-Guitar.

I’m in the process of buying right now, and my mortgage is similar to my high rent and the overall cost of ownership is higher, but it’ll be worth it just to get off of the uncertainty of ever increasing rent. At this point it feels like now or never with how batshit insane the housing market has become.

I recall it being hyped up as a Cyberpunk GTA, which is very much wasn’t and by the time I bought it and played it I knew that. I also waited until the first major patch and played on PC so overall my experience was pretty solid. I beat the game and enjoyed it, and I rarely make it all the way through a game these days.

I think for anyone who was expecting it to be a sci-fi open world sandbox it was probably a huge disappointment, but after that the only thing I felt let down by was just not enough interactivity with the world, which is something a lot of games don’t do well anyways.

Test Drive Le Mans is excellent as well for circuit racing.

One I haven’t seen here yet is Pulsar: Lost Colony. Similar to Star Trek Bridge Crew or Artemis I think, but you can do away type missions along with working together to fly and operate the ship. Up to 5 players.

I went to school with a girl who never wore the same outfit ever until like her junior or senior year when she got in trouble for something and got cut off. The word was she said something like “What am I going to do!?!?”

That’s far more fucked to and sick than just having kids wear a uniform. Granted most kids aren’t rich enough to have that situation even happen but still.

I had a lot of fun with this, it came with my Soundblaster 16 card I recall.

My apartment complex has a battery recycling center at least. Best Buy near me had a bunch of bins for various electronics so at least some areas in the US have convenient places for it.

Now do they actually recycle them vs toss them in the dump? No clue lol

The airport. I try to avoid going anywhere that makes people work on Christmas when I can, but the airport is always open and we have people that helped us cash.

1966 Fender Princeton guitar amplifier. Me likey

Was there a 2D Mario that let you play the main game in couch co-op? I remember that being what made this so much for for us. Two people trying to coordinate through the levels added an extra layer and challenge of sorts that was a lot of fun.

I posted a quote from Ghostbusters lol.

But yes it isn’t too hard to game the system and get rewarded for minimal work. I had to put a shit ton of hard work in to get to that point but if I felt like it I could do minimal most days.

They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.
