My job wanted everyone to install Teams on our personal devices. I really didn’t want to but reluctantly agreed until I found Teams wouldn’t work without some other Microsoft app whose purpose was to reformat my system files into two sections which were personal and work. I said I would not allow that on my personal device and if they needed me to have teams they could provide a work phone. They looked as though it was the most unreasonable thing they’ve ever heard. I feel like 20 years ago this was the exact thing people were warning us about when installing programs from the internet, now no one bats an eye.

Its a fun movie if you don’t take it too seriously

Just because they arent tech wizards doesn’t mean they’re tech cave people

I really enjoy both games, but I agree the gameplay in 1 is god awful. 2 is very similar but they expand on some of the mechanics to make it more engaging. The story of those games do all the heavy lifting, without that no one would have looked twice at them.

I loved the ship controls and traveling around exploring the planets, but the story and puzzles didn’t interest me much lol

I don’t understand the popularity of it because I don’t understand how people even get into today. There’s so much going on with dozens of characters it would take months or even years to memorize everything. I played Apex on and off since it released and I feel it is starting to become the same thing. Every time I play now I feel like no one who has ever played before would be interested in the game.

The insurgency games are great! There was something about the first game I liked a bit more. I miss some of its maps, I feel it had a few better maps for sniping. But it’s really been too long for me to remember the other things I missed.

When I was a kid I liked to play CoD campaigns on veteran difficulty and make my way through the levels as tactically as possible. Insurgency Sandstorm feels like how I wanted those CoD campaigns to play. I think the best choice the devs made was making all weapons and gear available from the start. Nothing feels worse than getting into a competitive shooter and all the veteran players have better equipment.

The sentiment of your post is commendable, but I’m skeptical that any magats are “finally seeing the light”. They’ve been fully supportive of bigotry and facsism for a decade now. I’m relieved that support for trump is beginning to dwindle, but it’s not because those supporters are now becoming more progressive. Its because their gas prices have gone up. They will blindly continue to vote red in the future.

That’s a strange take. If you wake up tomorrow and the price of groceries go up 200% would you just say “people are freaking out that paid food is paid”?

I was working as an HVAC installer when I played What Remains of Edith Fitch and I remember being really impressed when you go into the attic of the house and the developers modeled the air handler with all of the flex duct running to each room of the house. There aren’t too many games with that level of detail for something most people playing it wouldn’t even know about lol

I hope this doesn’t come across as rude or nosy, but do you use we as a pronoun in place of I or are you talking about yourself and another coworker?

For every fallout game, I played my first playthrough as myself and would name my characters as my first and last name. My first name wasn’t included in the list of names, but my lastname was and I almost shit myself when codsworth greeted me as Mr. (Last name).

“Old enough” and “not old enough” don’t contradict each other like “you’re a kid” and “you’re not a kid”

My point is that we all enjoy things that otherwise have “no utility”. I just found it amusing that you can’t wrap your head around why people would enjoy a novelty feature for a specific gaming controller.

I’m curious what your stance on RGB keyboards, mice, and other peripherals are. What is the utility there? Do you have different colored clothing? If so why? What is the utility there?

Era era

Saying that we shouldn’t have 80 year olds running for the presidency is a both sides take?

I think Pluto.tv does this

since women can have children, their opportunities are bigger

Oh yea because we can all see this has historically been the case thus far lmao

and they were lying. I’m not

No one has to worry about if you’re lying. They have to worry about all of the future people who would likely be men that would continue to enforce this.

I’m sure you have the best intentions here, but it doesn’t matter what your intentions are if you set up something that can easily be abused by countless of other people. On the surface, a literacy test may sound like a good idea for voters, but eventually someone is going to realize that if they put certain demographics of people into a “separate but equal” system of education, then they can control which demographics have more voting power.

What you’re describing is not far off from what has been experienced in the very near past.

different profile of education doesn’t mean worse. Just different.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling me here. That’s literally how whites sold the idea of segregation. And the word “different” in that context is what I was saying about opportunity. When you provide different education to different demographics of people, the levels of opportunity are vastly different for each group. You’re idea of curating a young girl’s education to prepare her for having babies does exactly that.
