I think another part of it is that gaming as a kid and gaming as an adult are for entirely different purposes a lot of the time. I still game for entertainment, but also as a way to unwind. It’s just relaxing to me and if I can get into a strongly written storyline, the stresses of my day fade away.
But as a kid, I gamed because gaming was flashy and fun and challenging, and then I wanted to talk to my friends about it after I beat yet another game.
But get a prenup.
Yeah I heard something like that too, but I never heard of any success.
Every time I see a post about Spore, I get sad I never played Dark Spore (despite owning it) before it got shut down.
Parents, man. Wish they’d be more concerned with dressing their kids appropriately for the season and less about the colors they wear because of perceived meaning behind those colors. Self expression and all that.
Many years ago I realized that I had mostly blue shirts for work and wanted to mix it up a bit. Went to the store, tried on everything I was buying, and came home with all blue shirts. Lol now I purposely buy at least a couple vibrant, non-blue shirts as my first picks every time I shop for clothing just to make sure there’s some variation. Yes, it’s still mostly blue.
To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.
Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.
I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.
Holy shit, that brought back so many memories.
Ackshully, that’s a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?
That’s great in theory, but you’ll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you’re going to have a bad time.
Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.
Some day I need to actually give this a go beyond what I played originally. I haven’t played this since the alpha days forever ago, and it looked like it had a lot of potential, but I didn’t have the patience. I think I helped fund it through their own site to play the super early build and then got the steam key from that when it released a long time after.
… everything reminds me of her??
The better argument is that many keyboards don’t have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it’s more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don’t have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.
So you’re the one who changed the password from admin/admin to admin/hunter2? That’s all I needed.
Explaining that I’m a systems and infrastructure admin is actually easier for me than explaining my organization to people lol. Because it’s a local government agency that provides services to school districts, and people don’t really know we exist if they aren’t a district staff member themselves (and even then sometimes they don’t know!), and we’re a bit niche in our specific services, I usually just end up saying “school ISP” despite that only being a small part of it. 😂
No you don’t.
Yes they do.
