One day I realised I was out of options. The military had always been a theoretical get out of Dodge card for me, and since I was out of ideas, no place to live, and it was the middle of winter, I signed up.

My MOS placement was possibly the single best luck of the draw I've ever had in my life, and having a guaranteed contract saved my ass a few times in tech school.

Even though my military career wasn't the best, and ended early, the training both personal and technical still serves me well to this day.

I literally can not imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't joined.

Here I am proudly..... sniff.... yeah, we're good.... maintaining the bare minimum if standards.

There is a non-zero chance that once they have a chip in your brain, they will find a way to stream ads in to it.

For that reason, I'm out.

While I agree with you, the fact that no game has released in the past 10 years without major patches and updates means what's on that physical media is useless

We will all go together when we go

We made access far too easy. Look at what a filter Lemmy has with by being just slightly complicated to set up.

If you don't want the drunk uncle on a platform, it shouldn't be easy for a drunk uncle to join.

As in I served in a non-combat role state side.

Technical job, as far from the front line as is possible. In fact, the US wasn't officially even at war, I was in between the first and second gulf war.

You know, as a non-combat veteran I would laugh my ass off if someone said this to me.

Nothing quite like the invisible accordion

When Oblivon was an Xbox exclusive, Sony turned to Fromsoft to create an RPG for Playstation to compete with ES4.

The whole project tanked, and from the ashes we go Demon's Souls. A whole new genre of gaming was born, and we're all better off for it.

Hopefully something similar will happen this gen.

I have always been a huge fan of Bethesda games, well, fallout and elder scrolls at least. I would love to play ES6.

That said, there is no way I'm but another game system just for a handful of games.

Honestly, considering that Skyrim has been ported to every single device w a processor in it, I'd be very surprised if we don't see a PS5 release of Starfield next xmass season. That is just way too much money to be left on the table.

Must have a low IQ cause that's one box I'm not even going to try and open.

I've always been a fan, but no way I'm buying a second system just for Bethesda games.

Yes, I bought a switch to play Zelda, but that's where I draw the line.

Skyrim has released on basically every platform that exists, I have to assume Starfield, and ES6, will eventually release on PS5. That is just too much money to leave on the table.

On the other hand, Demon Souls was spawned out of a failed PS exclusive to go head to head against Oblivion, and I'd dare say the souls series have given more to gaming than the past decade of Bethesda releases.

Is that for like mirrorop and such? I did not realise that.

Mike's Sky Ranch in Baja Mexico I think might be number 1.

It's in the middle of nowhere along the Baja 500 course, at about 3,700 ft above sea level.

The whole place is lit by generators, and when they are turned off for the night, it is pitch black.

The transition from bright lights and noise, to dead silence as the Milky Way becomes visible from the mountain top, is a sight I will never forget.

Other contenders would be looking down into Seventh Heaven from the top of Whistler mountain in Vancouver, or the view from the top of the north face of Alyeska outside Anchorage.

Use windows + p to change the presentation settings on a laptop when connecting to a monitor or audio / video system. This lets you quickly change between laptop, dual display, and extended desktop.

Windows + x and then b brings up a menu where you can turn on "presention" mode, preventing the laptop from going to sleep during a presentation.

I am now the client of a company I worked at for over 15 years.

Because I handled a difficult situation leaving well, we still have a very good working relationship.

It's a very niche industry, and I've worked for or with almost all the players in my region. My former employer, while small, is the best at what they do.

I need to sort which ones by me don't have ads. It's the jarring audio at 5:30 am when I haven't had coffee yet that just sours my mood.

And now I'm out

If you are producing enough urine to drown in a coffin in 48 hours you should see a urologist
