Personally I hated the whole gang warfare mechanic in San Andreas, so I never finished the game.

GTA IV was filled with details and graphically very good at the time. But the constant hounding by your companions was a major turn off. Fuck that “cousin Romain disliked you didn’t pick up your phone while you were being chased by the police” shit.

V was okay, but I also never finished it. Both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 just feels like a chore at some point. As much as I’d want to like them they just fail to hold my attention.

For me Vice City was the part I enjoyed most, not overly long and absolutely I loved the 80’s vibe. 🤤

Could someone elaborate which empire this used to be, for the non-US users? 🙂

Spice up that food with some yummy tape worm eggs. 🌶️

And it hungers…

Unfortunately in my country HBO was only available as an add-on, so you’d need an expensive cable subscription you didn’t want and then pay extra for the concent you’d actually wanted to see. Pretty bad deal.

When I moved out my first decision was to not get cable anymore. Streaming wasn’t even a factor in that decision as Netflix was only just starting here. I just didn’t care about all the drivel broken up by increasingly long commercial blocks. Lack of quality killed TV for me, not streaming.

Phishing simulations should be about educating employees, not punishing them. Train them on what they missed and if training material is available check where it might be lacking. Nobody learns from having their bonus taken away. It also only serves to stimulate a culture were people prefer not reporting possible security issues they might have caused, in order to avoid further pay cuts.

Absolutely not, as that would mean my company violates my country’s privacy laws. In my field of work there is no valid reason for wearing a body cam.

Having kids and drinking milk all day sounds like my idea of hell, actually. I’m terrible with kids and my lactose intolerant bowels are protesting in advance…

They stop trying

Shit, that hits hard, this is so me. I’ve never realised this can also be part of ADHD, I’ve always thought this was just because I’ve been bullied a lot in my youth and the resulting self-esteem issues. Guess I might be double blessed. 😅

Thanks for sharing this!

I seriously doubt if the radiation perv scanner doesn’t get people to do anything

You mean the backscatter X-ray units that have already been phased out 10 years ago?

The modern milimeter-wave scanners both do not reveal anything and do not use ionising radiation. If radiation is a concern to you, you really shouldn’t be flying at all to be honest. The dose you get up there is much higher than you’d get from an X-ray scanner, although it is still negligible.

My laptop refuses to go beyond 30hz on 5120*1440, so Wayland and X11 both feel laggy. But at least X11 is stable, can’t say the same for Wayland, no matter how much I want to like it.

Rammstein: Feuer frei!

RIP my LG robovac. Dutifully cleaning and mapping my house without having any kind of wireless connection ability whatsoever. Until it mistook my stair for just another dark corner. 😭

Somehow in my mind he’s still in his early 60’s. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that he’s 80 years old already, guess I’m getting old myself.

Guns kept in a car usually aren’t required to be locked up if the car itself is locked.

Common sense requires it if there is a chance you’ll be leaving a toddler alone with it.

If it’s written in the law, it’s lawful. You can of course (and should!) debate about the morality of the diverse forms of lawful interception, but a blanket statement like ‘“lawful interception” is a fallacy’, is a fallacy in of itself.

I completely agree that sex crimes cannot be tolerated. So, when can we expect those apologies for forcing women and girls into sexual slavery as ‘comfort women’ ? 🤔

Unreal only had a single Automag though, so either you are thinking of Unreal Tournament or you played on a modded server. Some servers did have dual automags (I’ve still got a mod and mutator lying around to get them in single player as well) and dual Automags (Enforcer in Unreal Tournament) did indeed dish out major punishment.
