I agree, I didn’t like the new combat system.

But I really like turn based combat. I don’t like to have to run around, spam buttons, or time anything right. I like to read and have time to make a decision. It’s a personal preference, but one that made me not get very far in the remake.

I’m pretty much all kasa with the innovelli for my fans.

Kasa require wifi for setup, but then have a local API for HA control. Just note that some features like motion detection aren’t presented via API.

Yea. I feel it’s a little underpowered. But I’ve got retroarch on it. It’s nice to be able to easily get psp and psvita games on it. Even if half are psx ports.

It’s become my main gaming machine at the moment. But I’m not much of gamer.

Death is the ultimate cure for cancer.

I meant as in, I as a player don’t need to be able to make changes that dramatically alter the game world in which I am playing and alter the story beats that I’ll hit.

I don’t like having to make a decision that may lock off entire areas or missions in the game. I no longer have time to devote a replay of a 60 hour game so that I can experience a different story line.

Otherwise, yes. The stakes the character faces in the story don’t always need to be “save the world.”

Personally, I am playing the game to enjoy the story of the character I am playing as. Not to play as me and make my own personal decisions.

I mean… If I could afford a riding lawnmower that would be me. I want to at some point find a broken washer to rip the drum out of. They make good fire pits for really big fires.

I want a corridor. It means they actually have to tell a story. Open worlds are too often mostly a large collection of lore for you to slowly read and tease out. But world building and lore doesn’t make a game. For many of us, it’s about the journey and story. I don’t need to make world changing decisions when I’m playing “hero.” I want to know heros story with all its cliches and tropes. Give me puzzles to solve, challenges to overcome, and entertaining gameplay instead “choose your own adventure.” It’s like the industry collectively decided that player agency, open worlds, and having options that changed how the story went somehow is what made a game good.

Att’s usage meter sucks.

The issue I was having was getting a hyper-v host to connect to an iscsi array on a nimble. That first result was pretty much exactly what I needed. It didn’t highlight it in the preview, but it was on the page once I opened it.

I’m starting to give up on Google. I’ve literally copy and pasted the same error message in Google, DuckDuckGo, and Kagl.

Google will respond with “no results found” while the others will actually give me a response.

Or the docs are just out of date and literally don’t mention this feature added 2 years ago.

Unifi. I’ve got a box of APs as ewaste just sitting in the basement. Every so often I would get more ewaste from companies I work with.

I don’t need the most demanding of wifi systems. I hardwire most of my stuff whenever possible. And I have a fairly small home. A single AP on the main floor, 1 AP on the basement. 1 AP in the detached garage.

Most of my wifi devices are iot things on their own vlan.

Not every game needs story altering decisions. I have been feeling too much fatigue in games personally where I just want to play a game and not feel anxious that if I do or don’t select some specific option I’ll have parts of the game locked off. I also don’t want to reply a 60+ hour game as new game plus to access extra content. I don’t have that kind of free time.

So give me a game with a well written story and let me play the game elements and not worry about the story parts.

That’s if the label generation is automated. Small shops will still have that be a manual process when they pack and weigh it for the label.

I’m a big fan of ipmi so I can remotely manage it. I’d look at one of these now: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/supermicro-superserver-e200-8de300-8d-review/

I don’t really like having to connect a monitor and keyboard when working on my servers now.

Storage is really limited for TV and movies though if you are running Plex.

If you want to host something like libre office, just remember how important backups actually are. If you take the risk of hosting business documents, make sure you do everything necessary to protect them.

Tracking numbers don’t get created until a shipping label is printed. Maybe give it a little bit.

My guess is that it’s asking for you to confirm your date of birth, to a minimal degree of accuracy without actually having to reveal your date of birth.

I kind of like the idea. Most people know what their star sign is, whether they believe in it or not. So they will be able to answer quickly and correctly. Those that need to look it up it might need to be more critical of the login for.

I’ve heard this story before, it’s not a new incident. It’s also getting a lot of coverage from lots of media.

’May you live in interesting times’ is the worst thing one can wish on a citizen of Discworld, especially on the distinctly unmagical Rincewind, who has had far too much perilous excitement in his life and can’t even spell wizard.
