- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 2 weeks ago:
I messed around with pills pretty bad back in 2012 and ended up with seratonin syndrome one night. Good things have happened since but nothing ever felt normal since then. Ive never talked to a doctor or psychologist about it (really anyone now that I think about it) but I swear my brain never recovered fully. Mix that in with some concussions a few years before from HS football and I feel like my brain is just broken. It might just been depression, but stuff seemed so much brighter before.
Sorry for my own rambling, but I wish you well and understand where you are coming from.

I still remember listening to Blackstar when I heard he passed. There was something so weird and ethereal about that moment I tend to agree thats when things went from bad to shit.

- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 2 months ago:
I’ve mainly been an Indie gamer since 2012 or so. My last gaming build is almost 7 years old, but I think the last AAA game I played was during lockdown and that was just because it was a way to hang with friends. At this point I just play indie ports on my phone.
Funny enough, after going through my Steam recently played, the last AAA game I enjoyed was Nier.

Is there a good 2nd hand market beside FB now? We are buying our first house and will be needing some stuff once we move in. My account is long gone and my wife’s is deactivated, close to closing it out. We have some good antique and thrifts around us, but my SIL gets killer deals on FB market.

- Comment on Anon uses Windows 4 months ago:
I just had to use my job’s OEM device to connect to our new contactor’s site since it doesn’t work with my machine for some reason (standard deb stable and a popos machine). When I boot into it the lock screen was so overwhelming with weather info, news and other junk I just had to laugh. Its crazy how much junk you need to disable to have a usuable device. I haven’t really seen vanilla windows for awhile, but it seemed like Vegas slot machine with how many notifications I was getting.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 6 months ago:
The Blue/Green tick thing has winded down in my own personal sphere. My wife’s family has a group chat where I was the only android user and would get dunked on when I replied. I just asked to be removed so they wouldn’t have to deal with SMS/MMS bullshit. Now that RCS is on everything it doesn’t matter. Ive been trying to get them to use Signal for the last few years but no one wants another app that isn’t their default messaging app.
On the second part, yeah thats true. If Apple does anything right it’s making “things work” for the average user, and I am sure we all know what the average user can do now. Any concerns I bring up with iOS is met with “but you work in IT and understand that stuff” which is hard to argue with when people just want something to work without troubleshooting and exploring options.

My 2017 Shield pro is starting to die and I’m dreading getting another TV box. Anyone have good experience with LibreElec or a similar distro? I am thinking of getting some sub $100 USFF from eBay

Whew that was a close one. I started reading comics again a few years ago and only have been getting TPB or HCs. Who has space for boxes of singles?

It really does lol. I wasn’t too concerned about this project and have been focusing on the next phase plus a few other projects in the pipeline, but knowing this really helped. My mom is having surgery tomorrow so I’ll have to take care of her for the next few days, plus my wife’s car was throwing some nasty codes that had me stressed. At least now I know work is in a good place as I take a few days off to take care of my mom and tinker with a car.

End of life hardware replacement at work. Deadline for the project is in a few weeks. Our engineering team just sent out a new BIOS upgrade for devices that get them up to TPM 2.0 which is the main requirement for the project. We went from ~5 completions a week to under one now to stay on track. Wasn’t really too worried about it but it will make work a piece of cake for a little.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on twitch, but I remember the ad would be blocked, but the player would just display “The broadcaster is currently running an ad” or something like that. Didn’t see any ads though so it technically worked

Not trying to downplay their situation, but the craziest part to me is the boss is actually competent and knowledgeable of their environment.

In my experience it will just loop to a new one
Over the last year I went from Marvel Snap > DBZ Dokkan > Snap > Arknights > Snap > Dokkan again with a healthy smattering with OSRS mixed in.

I’ve noticed that for YouTube and a small number of other sites but not all.

Glad to know I’m not crazy. I tried so many things to get it to work but it’s always force close and reopen. I don’t really use full screen too often and that’s the only issue I’ve had in the last few years.
