- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 1 day ago:
Ultima Underworld.
Saved a whole year for that one. Took a whole day to figure out how to configure the EMM386 line that would enable me to have enough memory to run the damn thing (tears of frustration were shed).Absolutely worth it. Blew my little mind. Never got to finish it though, because of a bug in the quest in the last level T_T

Meh. I named my first born after a joke signature from my early forum days. Just happened that the wife and I loved the name so it worked out in the end.

- Comment on ard 3 weeks ago:
Un animal de bât is indeed a pack saddle animal, and bâtard is indeed a bastard so that’s pretty cool. Never realised the connection! -ard in French is also often a negative suffix, like connard which would be a… “cuntard” if you will.
-asse is the feminine variant, although there are inconsistencies, such as pétard / pétasse which are probably related but one is a firecracker, while the other is a tart (the lady kind)Rude language is always so much fun!

Same. And it sounded so silly I could imagine the look of hatred. But this explanation makes more sense.
- Comment on Anon observes a coworker 4 weeks ago:
It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you’ve none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I’ll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I’m like “do you really think I say those things by accident?!” :,D

Sounds like the same thing that happens at 0°C with very pure water that stays liquid, but shake it and bam! It insta-freezes.

I just want a nice, useful address book I can actually search. But those morons don’t even have that, so instead we have abominable emails like did.ssi-sii and such. Sure it all means something, if you can just remember what fucking letter soup the department you’re looking for is. You want the service desk? did.dsi-sdk Rolls off the fucking tongue, doesn’t it.
What’s the point of this piece of shit Outlook if we can’t even search for team addresses?
- Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity 1 month ago:
Yeah, if we had a small start-up sized network, for sure. But as soon as you go into dozens of servers it becomes unmanageable :/ I need to know at a glance what the function of a given server is, my colleagues in sysadmin need to know what rack, what layer in our archi, what os, is it prod, etc. Hence TV model style names. Don’t roll off the back of the tongue, but at least we all know what we’re dealing with without knowing an encyclopedia knowledge of anime / star wars / etc trivia.
I compensate by making fun (for me) jpeg to ASCII welcome messages when I connect to remote servers :P
- Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity 1 month ago:
Meh, I like cute names like the next nerd, but I’ve never seen any in practice. It’s all TV model number like codes.

That’s it exactly. Sorry if it was not clear enough.

If you are having fun, I’m sure the Rimworld devs would be happy to know it.
Meanwhile the C-shites are probably dying inside, knowing people like you exist. Fuck. Them.
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 1 month ago:
I mean, that’s the same shit you see happening in music, books, movies…
Most of us stick with one genre, and then sometimes you get to appreciate the entire medium. But it’s not easy for everybody.
I always think it’s like colours. I can’t fathom people who actually genuinely have a favourite color they always wanna have.
But at the same time, if you ask me to read anything that’s not outside of a few favourite genres, it is a struggle.So yeah, at least try to appreciate that others may not like exactly what you like. And it’s okay if they only like the one thing. They are missing out sure. But you’re probably missing out on plenty of stuff too.

Maybe it’s a way to say “good despite all the cheese”? Or something like that? But I like your interpretation!

Because life is suffering.
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 1 month ago:
Only Outlook drives more insane : the fucking looking up of every single fucking email in the address textbox, just so it can put some fucking status badge or some other dynamic shit I don’t care about. It’s atrocious. And it’s so well done it does it for every address every time you add an address. It’s so slow I will literally write addresses in notepad so I can just paste them all in one go and endure that lookup only once.
What a bloated monstrosity >:C

- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 1 month ago:
Ye gods I lived exactly through this. We had Mattermost installed on test server and it was like night and day with Teams. But as you say, the bean counters don’t care if you’re happy. “We already got Mattermost at home!” they said. And so Mattermost was abandoned for Teams which is indeed already present in the ecosystem and isn’t going away any time soon. Like herpes.

Food is like music. You can have very strong tastes for a particular genre. But I reckon real lovers will always find something to love wherever they go.
Like, I love scones, and carrot cakes and I fondly remember a simple ham and potatoes I had one Christmas in Ireland. And fantastic fish. That smoked salmon filet with herbs and spices from M&S is still in my mind all those years later.
There is always something to love, if you give it a fair go. - Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 1 month ago:
If the other person knows to work with you, sure. But cooking with people is about as difficult as teaming up with rando online, haha !
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 1 month ago:
Favourite? Hmm, maybe? We have many delicious local dishes, which maybe other regions don’t know about. Whereas couscous is more widely spread because Maghreb immigrants are everywhere.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 1 month ago:
Eh what? Not the same kind of sausages I think. Spain and Italy have the dry meat type and Germany has the uncooked type. Very different culinary experiences. I tend to agree with you though.
