As a “3 hour a week dad” who has managed to rack up 150 hours of this game, it’s a lot of fun. But it’s also insufferable when they release updates that cause rag-dolling to launch you all over the map, and new enemies that are just completely bugged out.

From a 400k player base at the start to <25k now, I’m convinced they’re actively trying to hurt the game to lower server costs. And why would they care? Each of those 400k players already paid their $50 for the game. And it’s not like the new DLC is any good. The snow-armour that didn’t help sliding on ice, and the fire armour that came with a fire-nerf.

It’s fun, but don’t go in expecting the same game every week. Chances are they’ll nerf your favourite weapon in the interest of “balance”, then ask for more money.

YMMV, I treat it on demand, but in most cases it’s unused.

Civ: End turn

Driving games: Shift paddle

It’s like the 4th mouse button. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you might enjoy having it mapped.

Maybe not if you could cross play.

Sounds like a problem for governments to figure out

Immigration was always an outsourced bandaid for solving population decline.

Meanwhile Google has always just forced you to go to Google Groups to log bugs in production software.

I have used my pi-hole to blacklist all the oculus, meta and facebook domains, so I don’t get firmware update pushes on my Q1.

BUT, I did have a weird out-of-sync issue with Virtual Desktop a few months ago when I thought I had properly version locked.

All I ever wanted my Quest to be was a monitor. The fact that they could brick a monitor because they feel like it’s obsolete, is asinine.

I waited to get involved until after the Echoes update last summer, and I truly enjoyed 100+ hours of the game.

It still does suffer from inevitably feeling really empty, with billions of copies of the same 4 different coloured/temperatured planets and 8 creature types, but it was still a heck of an experience.

Answering my phone is like answering my door.

If I’m not expecting you, I’m not answering.

Loved my 3a every day I had it, until I “upgraded”. My son now rocks the 3a daily and has better battery life and similar performance to my 7.

He also has unlimited Google photo uploads

PORTAL

Civ VI and Inscryption required me to use the pads. Basically everything else is sticks.

I’ll be the guy who enjoyed this.

Beautiful hourglass pattern as I changed over from one time sink to another. Kinda neat.

Jellyfin works great in an all Jellyfin environment. It’s poor integration with Chromecast ultimately kept me off the platform. But that’s on me for letting Google make things too easy.

I will give Jellyfin further credit, that Finamp is really well designed for music use, and it kept me running the server in parallel with other media servers for quite a while.

I am absolutely some of that NMS time. I just run it at default, and I get about an hour. Which is great, because after that I really should take a break.

I played through 'One Finger Death Punch" with a broken arm.

Would recommend.
