I've had most of them, the big exceptions being the SNES and anything Sega. I think the one I've used the most, have had the most games for, and hands down my favorite, is the PS4.

PS3 and N64 are a close second and third.

And small blue creatures from alpha centuri where real small blue creatures from alpha centuri.

I'm old enough to remember when both released and I don't have a good answer to this, assuming you mean the pink floyd movie and not some other I'm not aware of.

The two consessions I've made are Teams, and the MFA software.

I am often running around to various sites and being able to use a quick chat is better than pulling out my laptop, and I turn it off when I'm off the clock.

So train lines instead of belts, and inserters directly linking assemblers to each other? Wow, that base must be huge.

I have done some basics with trains, and a bit with circuits, but multi resource trains always jammed up on me and became unbalanced so I've basically kept them to single item type each. Plus, playing on console without keyboard means naming things like stations is a slow pain in the ass.

The one that felt most impressive at the time was a successful Mun mission in Kerbal Space Program.

First time I beat subnautica was on permadeath mode, that took a damned long time.

Relatively new to the game, have launched two rockets. That seems..... very tedious.

I'm guessing you rushed robots and then did it end game that way?

I was jazzed to not use lasers and only steam power on my second play through.

One thing that is often over looked is proper monitor height. You can't have good posture if your monitor is too low.

The amount of time and money spent doing all the starting and running a buisness crap that has nothing to do with the actual work is staggering. I started my own LLC in an industry where I am considered an expert, and it was a complete failure in less then three years.

I had clients, I had projects, but was so overwhelmed with all the buisness elements I just couldn't spend the time required to get the work done properly. On top of that, while the money was good, the clients were often late paying, so all sorts of fees piled up and quickly ate into the profit. In the end I realized to do it right would have required at minimum four full time people.

Ended up taking a job with a large company as their in house specialist and I'm so much happier. I work shorter hours, get a regular salary with benifits, and spend my time doing the technical stuff I like.

Not saying don't do it, just be aware of everything that goes into it beyond the core elements of the work / product.

Mount and Blade, both titles Kingdom Come Deliverance Elden Ring Ghost Recon Wildlands

I've got untold hours into Ghost Recon, but once they released the permadeath ghost mode, it's the only way I play. I even made a youtube guide on how to speed run the first hour for various perks. Sure I could beat the game in normal mode, but it just seems too easy.

The office is 3 day a week onsite, w Mon and Fri remote.

I have to be on site Tue - Thur to support the users.

I go in most Mon and Fri because it's the only time I know I have physical access to the systems.

My support work is largely "remote", in that I can manage my systems 99% of the time better from my office than in the room, and I really like my setup.

Aside from physically rebooting hardware that's too frozen to reboot remotely, or replacing defective hardware, I can work 100% from anywhere I have internet.

Thing is, I love the company I work for, the end users and various IT and facilities staff that support my work are all great people.

The only close friends I have all moved far away decades ago, so the "water cooler" is the only real social interaction I get.

I do spend a ridiculous amount to live 15 minutes from the office so the commute isn't a concern.

George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.

Who would want to have to shave their forehead?

Not on reddit or facebook anymore, kinda miss the Over 40 Skateboard and Snowboard communities.

I do like those, but can add my own easy enough.

Always wanted a Volvo, my sister in law raced an V70 R for a while.

Requirements for a car. 1: All wheel drive 2: Small station wagon 3: Manual transmission 4: No touch screen 5: Does not connect to internet

Yup, looks like 2014 is the newest car I can buy.

Get your shit together car companies and maybe I'll be interested in you products again.

Home office has a single ultra wide plus my laptop screen under it. Work on the big screen, YouTube and teams on the laptop.

At work I have an ultra wide with a 16:9 portrait display (turned 90 degrees) on the side. That leaves the big space for work, and the side one for teams, YouTube, and any documents I have to reference.

First time using a portrait display, and it is so much nicer for reading PDFs and the like.

I just found out last week factorio is on a system that I own. Turns out there was a major addiction missing in my life.

As a programmer, I knew I would enjoy it. What I didn't realise was that in just a week it would literally make me better at my job.

I'm playing the game, and solving problems for work, I'm working, and solving problems in the game, in a huge feedback loop.

Can a video game make you better person? I'm not sure, but if they can, this and Kerbal Space Program are the ones to do it.

I've skated and hung out with a lot of pro skaters over the years at various demos, but the one who is probably most universally recognized is Bam Margera.

It's either him or Ben Bernanke, the ex federal reserve chair.

There are a lot of both dark themes and on screen deaths and violence, many of which are pretty graphic.

Fallout as a franchise is well known for some pretty horrific elements, often painted over with bright colors and upbeat music, but horrific all the same.

If Game of Thrones or The Boys were too much for you, then Fallout certianly is.

That said, it is an absolutely brilliant and faithful adaptation of the source material, and as a long time fan of the games, I loved every minute of it.
