Lol hell I’m sober and already lost. Sounds fun though once I figured out the order you gave.

You really need to tell Mom to stop spamming you.

Not exactly the same thing, but when I got my first VR HMD, for about two weeks afterwards I had to fight the urge that my real hands were the fake ones rather than the ones I would see in VR. Supposedly it’s something like 25% of first time VR users who get a similar feeling, but it didn’t make me feel any better about it. Never happened again, even with how rare I play VR games, but it was rather off-putting.

Oh just thought of another one: when I was playing WoW back in 2005, I got so into it that it was effecting everything. My social life died and it was effecting work enough that my boss had to have a long convo with me to get my shit together. But what really made me realize how bad it had gotten was having dreams where dialog with people I knew IRL was all in text and I would have to type responses to people when face to face with them.

That’s what 25 years in IT did for me.

“A flare”?! So you don’t throw 3 flares in rapid succession and then complain that flares take too long to recharge? Just me? …okay.

Yeah I’ve done both LFS and Gentoo stage 1 before and it’s a fun learning exercise. Too bad the stage 1 isn’t a supported option anymore afaik.

Lol yeah I don’t think OP knows what penultimate means.

I just recently started using Vikunja too, and it’s pretty great but really needs more recurrence options. For 90% of my things it works, but there’s some things lacking.

Lol oh I never said it’s a good solution. The worst part isn’t running IIS, it’s running IIS on a domain controller. The better option is using a different domain for AD than your web domain, as long as it’s a publicly registered domain for certificate purposes.

Hilariously, I bet it’s because their Active Directory domain is the same as their public domain, and it becomes a massive pain in the ass to hostname the root domain. Yes, externally you can do it just fine, but then it’s not consistent internally on their private network.

One solution is you run IIS (or any other web server) purely as a permanent redirect for the internal host, but it would then need to run on each domain controller which brings its own set of issues.

And you take negative feedback poorly, just roll with the punches. It happens.

Also it’s not really a Microsoft thing as proven by the fact it’s requiring Java of all things, not .Net or any other Microsoft-proprietary runtimes.

I never got far at all in 16, but not because I didn’t enjoy it. I just got stuck in a rut last summer and stopped gaming entirely for a couple months and just didn’t pick it up again. Maybe when I finish Rebirth in another 100 hours I’ll jump back to that lol.

6 though? Have loved that one for a very long time though I may have taken longer to finish it than most anyone ever. Way back when it released as FF3 on SNES, a friend bought it and played for a short while but let me borrow it. I played the hell out of it and had something like 80 hours into it (not sure if I just sucked or idled a lot, don’t ask haha). I had made it to right before the final dungeon. But then my friend wanted it back and I said sure, with the intent of finishing it at his house the next time I spent the weekend there gaming, which was common.

Right after I gave it back, his cousin wanted to give it a try and the very first thing he did was delete my save. I watched him do it and just had no words. He didn’t realize I hadn’t finished and wasn’t trying to be an ass, but it just crushed me.

I never went back to play it again until the 2015 release on Steam. Played it on probably 2016. So a minimum 21 years, maybe 22. Lol

Considering they are putting out a monthly subscription for access to all DLC? Yeah this thought is very valid.

Lol I mean it’s literally just having a new addition to it and while many will say it’s being killed, the amount of content they have added so far in Rebirth has been insane. I have friends who will probably hate it, but it’s absolutely beautiful to me and a surprise at every step.

No problem, glad I was able to recognize the symptoms so quickly. It was incredibly frustrating too! Oh, one more thing to do is launch Heroic from terminal so you can see the output. That’s how I knew which game was causing it.

First I disabled the flood control just to make sure I could get it working. I’m not sure about Heroic, but Lutris has an online database for games and I looked up Dead Space and found the correct game ID to set it to. Once it was on the right ID, it found the assets it needed and was done in under a second.

Are you using pihole?

I ask because Lutris was killing my network too and it took me like two weeks to figure out the root cause. For me, this is what was happening. I had Dead Space Remake installed. Lutris used the name of the game to identify it, but was incorrect. Then it would try to download assets for the game but apparently they changed the URL path. But when Lutris failed to get them, instead of giving up, it HAMMERED my DNS with requests, triggering pihole to engage its flood controls and kick me off DNS for 5 min.

If you use pihole, watch your query log live and see what is happening.

Pretty much. Being liberal myself, it drives me insane seeing the absolute triple people will buy into. Websites aren’t the things to target, let’s look at things like cruise ships and transitioning to renewable energy.

I had to stop using it for English even because its word predictions were horrible. Very common words kept correcting to much less common words on a regular basis. I gave it a good three months and I just can’t do it. Wanted to like it so much.

Lol when it was first announced, everyone said that people would fork it just to change the name for this reason. I prefer to keep it this way.
