dubyakay,

But Clooney didn’t act in 2001. Or was there a remake with him, like with Soderbergh’s Solaris?

dubyakay,

Google were the good guys after all???

dubyakay,

Like the CEO of my company, who’s on the board of directors of other companies and shit. And LLM literally writes the shitty corporate talk scripts for him.

Raivo wiped all of my TOTP codes

9 months ago, Raivo OTP for iOS was sold to Mobime. Raivo was hailed highly in terms of privacy, but was dethroned to 2FAS Auth after that incident. Today, Raivo launched an update, and after updating all of my entries were completely wiped. I didn’t have a backup, but even if I did you now have to pay in order to...

dubyakay,

History repeats itself every hundred years you say?

The 40s are ready for some global strife, eh?

dubyakay,

Well… I’m ready for chapter 1.

dubyakay,

I need this mug for my fireside chat Friday company meeting.

dubyakay,

I get the sentiment, but this seems to be a bit over the top, Mr True.

Poland's leader says the border with Belarus will be further fortified after a soldier is stabbed (apnews.com)

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Wednesday that its forces would further fortify the border with Belarus and can use “all available means” to defend the NATO nation’s frontier, after a soldier was seriously wounded with a knife by a migrant....

dubyakay,

They are already brick coloured. They have nothing to fear of them.

dubyakay,

So you suck the sliced cheese through a straw too, right?

dubyakay,

Curious, are you from the UK?

I was living in Hungary at that time, and of course ex-Yugoslavia being the southern neighbour, the news was non stop about it. However I have only learned of the genocide from watching Hotel Rwanda.

dubyakay,

I’ve tried to install Arch on my spare Dell laptop a week or two ago, and failed spectacularly twice in quick succession. I was using the arch wiki, assisted by GPT4 on things that were not clear to me. Just kept running into issue after issue after issue until five hours later I gave up.

I’ll try again when I have the time.

dubyakay,

It’s not my first distro. Does Ubuntu and Mint over ten years ago count though? They were easier to install than Windows XP.

dubyakay,

Seems to be what I want. Highly customizable, stable and widespread user base.

Games that I have spent an incredible amount of time playing, in no particular order (games where I have noted time, I have played those exclusively without playing any other games):

  • Enter the Gungeon (two years)
  • Master of Orion (& sequels and likes)
  • UFO/TFTD
  • Sim City 2000
  • Command & Conquer (just the first one)
  • Quake World (5 years)
  • Ragnarok Online (5 years)
  • Transport Tycoon Deluxe (& Open TTD)
  • Wizardry 7
  • World of Warcraft (5 years)

I’d like to mention that there comes a certain point in skill based games like fps and twitchy MMOs, where your character’s movements are so ingrained in muscle memory, your knowledge of the game engines’ ins and outs are so thorough, that even just standing around in one spot you know at any moment what action or reaction is going to happen upon your next few key presses, and you have a hundred percent confidence in executing those without a flaw, if you bothered to lift your finger.

That’s when you quit, I guess.

Edit: honorary mention for Fallout 1/2/3/NV, TES3&5, Elite/First Encounter, Syndicate, Starcraft 2, Creatures 1&2, Civilization, Master of Magic, King’s Bounty & HOMM, DOOM 1/2, Scorched Earth/Worms, Diablo 1&2

dubyakay,

Aww man. I remember playing lots of LAN DN3D in highschool, after hours in the computer lab. Sometimes an idiot kicked out the BBC cable from one of the ring-topology connected PCs by accident, interrupting fun for everybody.

I used to be a top dog, until some first grader snot nosed kid started playing with M+KB at the same time, sniping all of us keyboard turners with the shotgun on the american football arena map.

dubyakay,

How was Ultima VII compared to Ultima VIII? Origin has totally sucked me in to VIII with its awesome graphics and buggy yet intriguing gameplay, but I’ve heard in every other aspect it was a farcry from its predecessors’ complexity and story.

I really liked Ultima IX as well, but Origin was already on its death bed by then iirc, and I encountered a bug that did not let me progress.

dubyakay,

Aww man. I’ve tried Eve online for about two years. In the end even got into a C5 and farmed like mad with a carrier and a dread until we got evicted by one of the bigger WH alliances. But could never really get past the carebear mentality of not wanting to lose ships in the end. And that, plus the perceived latency of 1sec game ticks without prediction kind of soured the fun.

The best that came out of it is that I’ve managed to get my name on the monument, which I’ve then visited in 2018. Coincidentally I’ve signed up to the game using my real name (which I’ve fought multiple times to get changed), so I have my actual name on the slab instead of just a character name in the end.
