Again depends on the bike. I have big feet, so it’s really nothing more than a flick of the ankle to change up, and changing down is a tap similar to tapping your foot to a drum beat.

You never want to take your foot off the pegs / floor boards when operating the controls.

On most bikes, neutral is a “half click” above first, where you have to be pretty deliberate to find it.

On mine I sometimes struggle to find neutral when i want it.

Try being firm when you shift into second, and if that doesn’t work, you’ll just have to learn the feel of getting past into second.

All bikes are a bit different, so it’s less about getting good, and more about learning the machine.

Going to have to go with the three that had the biggest impact on me.

1: Doom / Doom 2. In addition to being two of the most influential and important FPS games of all time, they got me into modding, programming, the internet, 3D graphics, shaping my entire future career path.

2: Kerbal space program. No moment in all of gaming had me leap out of my chair and whoop the way landing in the Mun for the first time did. Now that I understand orbital mechanics, I get annoyed at almost all depictions of space flight in movies.

3: Factorio. Got to this one late, on Switch about 6 months ago. I can’t think of any game which has rewired my brain as much. As a programmer, I come away from each play through with entire new methods of solving problems at work. May be the single most in depth and addictive game I’ve ever played.

The resource I was talking about was you, not the JSON. Pulling your time away to fix it. That has to be coordinate a level above unless both teams have the same management.

If not you may your work impacted by it, as they say, cover your ass.

Can you put an ingest test on your systems?

Throw a flag when the JSON breaks etc and track those metrics.

If they are breaking production services, they sure wouldn’t last long on any of the teams I work with.

This 100% is a management issue, both their boss, and yours.

If resources are going from one team to another, and they have separate management, that damn well better be coordinated through your boss. At the very least C.C. at the start and end of the project.

I’m all for helping out another team, that’s what you do, but sounds more like constantly cleaning up their messes.

With the obscure language I use for work, I do tend to keep each system to a single file, even though includes and modules are supported.

Granted, they are generally between 500 and 5000 lines, and are usually written from scratch.

That being said, there is a 0 percent chance I’m going to be feeding anything I write into Grok.

I’d say 1975 was a damned sweet spot for me. Medicine had advanced literally just enough that the life saving surgery I had at birth was a success. I had access to but was forced into the tech and comms revolution. Was right in time for the second wave of skating boarding, and got to be in on the very ground floor of snowboarding.

I honestly can’t think of a better time to have been born.

Yeah, can see that question is vague. Lots of remakes / remasters in recent years, some amazing, and some garbage. Didnt want to invest in this and be pissed off about it.

Watched a few youtube reviews and sounds like something I’d enjoy.

Start deprived w master key.

Dual scimitar, composite bow, and a buckler. Lot of focus on parry and fast bow game play.

About 2:1 dex / end, no other points in stats aside from one in str to use the weapons.

Black leather set at +6 to offset no vitality.

Basically a Link glass cannon.

Scimitars can parry in left hand, and have a fun flippy move set. Will likely add the flip ring for style, and a divine club for the catacombs.

Currently lvl 53 w 45 dex and 23 end, and just reached the Anor Lando archers.

Back to Dark Souls 1. Tried so many challenge runs over the years, I decided to just have a casual play through with my favorite build.

Is it a good port? I really enjoy turok 2 on PS4, would love to play perfect dark on something better than an N64.

Computers became fast enough about 20 years ago for everything short of gaming for the average user.

Before that, lots of effort was put into efficiency, specifically in the OS.

Now days, hardware is so fast, and storage has become so large, the only way to force people to buy new hardware is to create total bloatware and planed obsolescence.

I’m forced to use windows for work, and have been on 11 for a while now. Many basic tasks are indeed much slower.

I finally have my own home PC for the first time in decades, and this is one of the many reasons I plan on switching it to linux.

I want all that horse power going into graphics and gaming, not running a shit OS.

Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.

First time on a bike was about 15, was my brothers 500cc two stroke single cylinder thumper. Ran into a wall, lasted about 90 seconds.

At around 35 I got a kawasaki 650cc, didnt know how to ride, and had to call my brother for lessons over the cellphone to learn enough to get it home. Got very very lucky in a high side crash a few weeks later, was able to walk away bad bruised and bloodied but not broken.

Then I got smart and went to take the three day DOT class.

Bought a Chinese newstar 200cc dirt bike and actually learned to ride.

Moved on to another 650 kawasaki, then fell in love with my other brother Darrell’s Harley VRod, and am on my third, a muscle, a Nightrod, and now back on a muscle.

It’s the only platform I have to play it on, and switch doesn’t support the new space age expansion.

It did get many of the 2.0 updates, like the extended belt reader, free circuit wires, and all inserters are filters.

As far as acceptable, I love it. I’m sure I can’t build the crazy 10k science per minute monstrosities I’ve seen on youtube, but I’ve never really run into an lag issues with the bases I’ve built.

When I bought the switch I called it my $500 zelda machine.

I also have factorio now.

If a new mario, zelda, or factorio is available on switch 2, I’ll buy one.

That’s my argument, release the server code and the fans can host them.

Take your servers down, move on to your new games, but give us the tools to enjoy what we bought. It costs them nothing.

I don’t think anyone plays factorio the way it was meant to be played.

With the new belt reading mechanics, I’m trying a single sushi belt play through and have made it as far as blue science so far.

If I could pass one law, requiring multiple redundant scanning tech on anything autonomous large enough to hurt me might be it.

I occasionally go to our warehouses which have robotic arms, autonomous fork lifts, etc. All of those have far more saftey features than a self driving Tesla, and they aren’t in public.

Two games I have platinumed on PS4 that I still go back and play are Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if you mean 100% as in like scan and collect every item, or get all the trophies, cause I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game in that way.
