  I always include the rider because the picture of the bike is on the street. A bike or motorcycle on a street is "everything I do not want to hit".

  That's interesting... bold move though. I can think of MANY failed 3rd person mobas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm not surprised. I know people who don't even know what an ethernet cable is. I've worked enough IT to realize that a tangled mess of 6 cables can be as horrifying as a Predator to people. It doesn't help that everything is slowly going to POE, POE+ and even ++ now so it's doubling as power as well. In analog video days I could look at the back of a random device and instantly figure out it's purpose. That's rapidly becoming a rarity. For a worrisome section of the population, plugging in an ethernet cable is the equivalent of building a table or performing a back flip.

  And when it comes to hacking, good god nobody knows anything. I remember we had a dozen students in high school (around 2000ish?) get suspended for "hacking" and really it was just that a section of the student body found a network storage location without any password protection and were using it as a flash drive on school grounds. Literally they just suspended anybody who signed their name on the homework assignments stored there.

  The real crime was that drive had lunch pins for all the accounts in plain text to run their system, without a password!

  Genuinely it almost feels like a clone or a mod. Although really overwatch 2 seems to be in such a terrible spot that I wouldn't be surprised if it was purposeful.

  that, that just adds more questions.

  I installed a bunch of vanilla expanded mods for Rimworld and I've been trying to get a royalty victory

  Lol, gotta love the old AI

  huh, interesting. Gotta say I had less hope for this than I did for Cowboy Beebop. (which also wasn't much, but I digress)

  Maybe I give it a shot... and take a shot before it starts...

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ... man I never made that connection. I thought it was because there was never an explosion smaller than somebodies head. If it doesn't cause a boom it's a gun that shouldn't be in a boomer shooter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  wandersong is a super simple game that she might be able to play. You play a pacifist bard who just is naive, friendly to a fault. The bard is a male, but the villain, supporting cast, it's quite diverse with some strong females cast in. It's got a pretty good story and a lot of sesame street level lessons on life in there too. Even starts a conversation on what strength truly is. Totally something you should look at.

  Slime rancher is another super chill, might actually be able to play herself, game where you do play as a female protaganist, but much lighter on plot than wandersong. You basically farm cute adorable slimes and it's genuinely pretty addictive and super relaxing after a shitty day.

  Mirror's Edge you play as a female protagonist. Plot might be a bit steep for her.

  If you haven't played through portal 1 or 2 yet, I bet it could be fun. Glados is silly, Chell (who you play but doesn't talk) is female and she can help you with the puzzles a bit.
