@scottalanmiller Yeah because having to constantly watch your back for other players adds a ridiculous amount of stress! Hah...Makes me think of my World of Warcraft days.

I don't mind that stuff, it's the online stuff... I don't have time to commit, and want to make sure that I can play the game 20 years from now kind of thing.

YES exactly, great point.
Eh and I didn't mind either, aside from the couple of times I was ganked for several hours. Though that sort of thing was and is few and far between.
Heh and they got theirs.

No Man's Sky is now my to exploration and building game.

I heard they fixed that game but the price point was too high for me to consider it. Probably on a sale.

Fired up the game again, "Your video card is not supported or drivers are not installed" something like that.
I thought, oh no problem.

Did you allow Ubuntu to deploy third party packages during the install process? It should have picked up the Nvidia stuff at that time.

Yes! I followed what you said and ticked the box.
It sucks, I tried really hard and for a long while to get this going.
I'm disappointed, but I'll get this working eventually. It's just on my main computer so...I wanted to play some Warhammer badly haha.

Breaking things is just a part of the learning process. It's helpful

Who here is using snipe-it? I think Dustin does but I don't think he's around currently.

I've set it up and used it at my last place

I need to be able to have enterprise level reports, company level and department level. Is there a way to run reports for all companies to simulate this? I don't see it if it's there

nvm figured it out

@RojoLoco some of these new guys don't know what cold brew means in your case though. Don't you have some insane process for making the strongest coffee possible for yourself?

Well,.. at least it’s not the Fireball got poured in my tumbler face...

okay, what's the story of JB and Fireball?

He's just kind of addicted to it.

ah that's his poison?

He's addicted to hating it

well I got that, hah but there's nothing wrong with fireball -

There is a lot wrong with it

it's cheap and if you drink enough you can get drunk .
What's the problem?

Then you should eat Haggis because if you eat it you will not starve to death

Quality matters

I mean, If that was all that was around sure i'd eat it- I have no clue what it is but, ya know.

I am going to mail you Haggis. Let me know what you think

Just send them off to Dash

I'll mail @Dashrender some too. You fireballers will love it because your taste buds are already dead

Liesl and I watched Akira last night.

Great movie. I just introduced Laura to it last weekend. One anime movie each weekend. This is what we've done so far in no real order:

• Akira
• Princess Mononoke
• Redline
• Garden of Words
• Spirited Away
• My Neighbor Totoro
• Ninja Scroll
• Howl's Moving Castle
• Ponyo

Trying to pick ones that are easier to get into. Ninja scroll was a tough watch for her so I needed to scale it back a bit.

been watching the looming towers, which is pretty great.
gotta watch the final episode of preacher S3, peaky blinders S5 is out, started watching the spy. All excellent imo.

I love Preacher. Finished it

@RojoLoco We have a baking contest next week at my company. I'm going to make that Guinness Stout Chocolate Cake recipe you gave me

Discussing with @wirestyle22 how Linus Tech Tips has become a "Brand Name of Data Loss".

I watched one video and I was so confused at how these guys get millions of views. Seems to be a scam

OMG HPE just won't stop calling. We are so inundated with calls because they were at Spiceworld. Every day we get one or two. It just never ends.

Time to start blocking numbers... or answering the phone "hello, this is the NTG sex dungeon, do you have an appointment?"

just breath heavily into the phone. no need for a plot

I just actively avoid social media when there is something I am watching late that I don't want spoiled.

Really enjoyed The Mandalorian. Nice to see such a high quality show. I wasn't going to watch it but my friend convinced me to.

The first episode was pretty good - but I was super sad to see a filler episode for number 2 - it didn't do anything for the storyline that I can tell. Sure it still looked good - showed that this Mando can basically be hit by a Rhino and amazingly somehow not die, etc.

I suppose we learned one thing - when the Mando was saved.. but really - who didn't see that coming?

Yeah I think there is some merit there. It gave us more of an understanding of his personality though and how he works through things. It was nice to see that he isn't good at everything too.

I'm curious if they'll do any real work developing him in regards to the really dumb choices he made. I am hopeful that this series will be more like Rogue One in story telling and less like TLJ. But only hopeful.

We're on the same page for sure

Bought my wife a copy of Titan Quest... bad idea Still a great game which supports LAN-only multiplayer - sadly, most older games don't play well with with virtual NICs from Hyper V and Docker Desktop.

Looks like an early rendition of WoW.

It's more like Diablo. Great game for its time

More like D2 or PoE. The interesting aspect is that you can combine two classes, like rogue + mage or rune + defender.

To be fair Titan Quest doesn't hold a candle to PoE. No hack n' slash really does. Before POE it was an incredible interpretation of the genre though. Thoroughly enjoyed it

haha, no, absolutely not. PoE is a hell of a game with the most complex skill tree ever.

Yeah it's really insane what they have done and over the years it has just gotten better. What a rarity

I guess you aren't talking about Power over Ethernet?

My bad: Path of Exile, really worth it. Free 2 Play without Pay 2 Win. You can only buy chest space, character slots and cosmetics, but nothing that makes you more powerful in any way.

I agree that the game has a ton of play through and depth, but it's such a massive grind.

Yeah it's kind of a grindy genre though

That's awesome. I've never looked at this but sounds like I should.

If you like hack n' slash games it's the best one by far right now

I get it, I do, it's just such a long grind. Even worse than WoW. .

It's 100% worse than WoW in that regard. I am playing classic and I basically raid 1 day a week. The rest of the time I'm playing other games

What made me stop playing PoE was trading. It's fun, but it starts to become actual work at some point. Eventually, we gifted everything to friends. Hundreds of Ex (Exalted Orbs) and items worth a few thousand Ex

Yeah you really need to understand the economy but it's very interesting. They clearly knew what they were doing when they designed it and every system in the game really
