That’s just beyond infuriating. Plex does a pretty good job streaming and they have a solution that can use a cloud service for your media. Maybe I’ll invest in dropbox or something and go that route... I have mainly used it as a front end for my PVR at home, so mostly video stuff, no idea if the music handling is any…

Wait, which are they dropping?? I have both...

I thought FL went red last election, though.

That’s funny, I usually prefer to play as characters that are totally not like me. But then, I kind of have to be, with my skin tone and hair type only about 1/10 games that have character customization come close to allowing me to create someone that looks like me, lol.

Can I get these bug fixes in real life?

That’s good advice about exercising. With the endorphins released and getting the blood going it could go a long way to combat that blah feeling he was talking about when he gets home from work.

I hit a place like this about 3-4 years ago and I have gotten into a groove now where the minute I realize I’m starting to get bored with a game, I’ll just rush the main story, see the ending, and then I can say “I finished that game, and no I don’t care that I didn’t find all 150 macguffins”. For example, once I…

Yep, I got my first UK passport a few years ago and clearly remember the documentation saying ‘do not smile’.

Absolutely not. Just saying, it’s not that simple. Yes, there are resources out there, and yes, getting away from the abuser safely is the best long term (especially since the law is often uninterested in doing something until there’s a corpse - this of course depends on local laws and such). However, just the act of…

...Tell that to the women who have left and have had to change their name and relocate multiple times because their ex/stalker finds them again.

Yeah AV products, especially back then were not very good at detecting spyware because they could not distinguish between that and legit software. A virus is a whole other animal - a snippit of computer code that propagates itself by putting it’s code in other programs. I haven’t looked it up in a while an I rely more…

Wouldn’t it have been easier to change your wifi password? For that matter, why would she need to be on your wifi to order food to your apartment? I’m not trying to snark, just confused.

Yep, why else would basically every major streaming service have started to give you options to download movies/tv shows? Internet is hardly available everywhere, and good internet fast enough to stream a game well enough to make them playable is even less so. The future of broadband? Internet connection speeds where…

I live in a metro area and I pay 120 for 100/10 internet that has really awful latency, and 500 is the best I could get if I wanted to spend crazy cash. Can I stream a 4k movie? Yes, mostly. But not without major hiccups like video freezing up and dropped frames. The internet goes down sometimes. If you have cable…

This is totally due to climate change.

This nails it on the head on why I always loathed the midichlorideians (intentionally spelled awful). That it was the life force of all living things was more than good enough for me.

Exactly. How can she complain that the game is shallow when all we know about the story/plot is the name of the main character and that there will be nudity and no Ciri? Or that the game has to be full of a specific type of humor because the dev decided to include a day/night cycle and weather instead of locking in…

Honestly? I think people were better able to just sit back and enjoy something back then, and those of us that don’t care wouldn’t have been exposed to it because lack of internet those that would care would have been relegated to sharing their opinions only in their dank basements instead of spreading them all over…

I totally misread that as you saying you designed and built the actual SR-71 and I was about to totally geek out all over you... For which I apologize anyway.

I wonder if there’s something like Launchy for OSX? I moved away from macbooks ages ago as I hated where they were going with the hardware (soldered in ram, non-replaceable batteries, etc.)
