Video game challenge runs. I only play on consoles these days, so mod access is very limited. I love seeing the crazy challenges people come up with, and the even crazier strategies they develop to beat them.

"What fun is it to watch someone else play a game?" Says the guy with the football jersey.

I've been a gamer since, well, gaming started. I happened to join the military right when Quake came out, and basically missed that generation of gaming.

Can not tell you how excited I am to play a "New" ID software title now that the remastered Quake 2 came out.

Just waiting on a friend to get it loaded, gonna do this blind coop with another geek.

You can take my summoning salt from my cold dead hands.

Mine has a brief brake assist, about 1.5 seconds it won't roll backwards on a hill start.

It's so subtle and I've had the car so long, I completely forget about it.

Any time I drive a car without it freak out when I come off the brake and the car starts moving backwards.

This is one of my absolute favorites. Few shows get a proper laugh out of me, but him coming out in a jacket made of his tax receipts me ever time.

Sums up my kitten pretty good. I'm sitting here with some fresh scratches and bites from her going into random blender mode.

I have two main categories, pleasant distractions, and screaming at the gods.

Pleasant distractions are things I enjoy in my free time like video games, reading, juggling, lock picking.

Screaming at the gods are things I do because I need something so physical and dangerous that it requires 100% of my focus. Skateboarding, snowboarding, long distance motorcycle trips. These are things I do to get work and other stresses out of my head for a time, as I can't afford to have my attention split.

Farcry is one of my favorite series, and like so many ubisoft titles, they ruined it.

Leveled gear and enemies can fuck right off.

At least they spent time and fixed most of the issues with breakpoint.

I made the mistake of preordering 6, played for a couple hours, and never touched it again.

Still go back and play 2, 3, Primal, and 5 about once a year and have a wonderful time.

I'd love to see another good farcry, as well as ghost recon and splinter cell. Going to wait to see the reviews and understand the game mechanics before ever buying another ubisoft product.

I've changed jobs, and moved, to get my commute down to 10 min each way.

As much as I can I ride my motorcycle.

There is nothing I can do to actually be rid of a car, and people who think that can change in American society are just fooling themselves.

Sure it would be great to have high speed rail, and a variety of public transit options, none of that is going to change the suburban sprawl.

Normally just the one, if I'm skateboarding or snowboarding I'll do them both.

Skateboarding. I've been skating since 1985, and aside from a couple years in the military, never really took a break from it.

At 48 years old, with a slew of injuries, I can't do the kind of things I did in my 20s, but can sure hold my own on a mini ramp.

Fine, but what in the hell are riggens?

I've said it before, last time I voted against Trump. I'm glad to say I'm voting for Biden this time around.

Oh, I don't know, I'm all kinds of broken and am still delightful.

Yup, this is a fantastic side benifit to my absolutely not ever having kids.

That was me w baconreader for sure.

Now I have one Lemmy app for when lemmy.world is working, and another for when it isn't.

Haven't open baconreader in a while, but haven't uninstalled it either.

Being recording a hardcore playthrough to make a guide for a friend. Love this game so much.

That I haven't had? The two major ones are a sinus infection (1994), which in theory I could have again, and appendicitis (2007), which I will never have again.

As a life long skateboarder and snowboarder, I've had all kinds of brutal injuries, still do on occasion, but no pain has compared to those two.

It's not so much a function of try, and yes, I've used it. It's the fact that during lock down the whole company used Zoom and Teams, and changing systems now would take an act of God far above my paygrade.

Historically, Tandberg, later acquired by Cisco, was hands down the best video conference codec. I have no doubt their new line is just as good.

I can try forwarding this info to network security and see what they think.

Went to Infocomm this year, the audio / video trade show, to get the lay of the land on next generation conference systems.

The two main elements at almost every booth were zoom and teams. Those two platforms have completely replaced IP based conferencing, and when the tide turns like this, no matter how bad the idea, we're stuck with it for five to ten years.

On both the hardware and software level, there just isn't an alternative for corporate scale conferencing.

I may be able to make the argument against zoom for privacy reasons, but I suspect teams isn't going to be any better.
