Same. School firewall blocked based on host names, so we all learned a lot about the hosts file so we could manually set all of the IPs Minecraft needed to authenticate.

Even more so, a pretend friendly stranger that’s documented as being in your location.

Knew it would be this. I made the noise immediately on seeing the picture

I could totally be misremembering, but I seem to recall the Ezio trilogy being praised for accurate cities. So not the original originals, but probably some of the best.

This used to be unironically true, to an extent. Especially with the original games.

Ooh, I know this one. The shirt is in my still unpacked suitcase from that trip three years ago.

My mom found three gifts I bought for her in the same suitcase 6 months after I returned.

I’m tearing up, it’s so beautiful

Isekai is religion for the modern era. “Oh, don’t be sad he was hit by truck-kun, he’s in a better place now.”

Note, I’m all for this. If I die in an accident, I firmly expect friends and family to workshop a story plot at the funeral

It’s one of the few single-use kitchen appliances I find completely justifiable.

I have an ongoing theory that every time you locate what you’re looking for in a Microsoft project, a random number generator determines if it will be moved, and where to

My god all these admin centers and their old and new versions. Four places to do any one thing and maybe one of them has documentation that’s up to date.

There are at least three locations to disable user accounts. Two of them require a setting of “True” and the third one “False”. Drives me mad.

I feel like I’ve not seen a bug outside of my home in years

Consistently picking wrong is just as useful

For the comedic value, have you tried He Who Fight With Monsters? It’s my most reread series by far, and is what I always give people after Carl.

Cradle is the other big one. The first half of book one is a bit of a hump for me, similar to reading Kal’s perspective in Way of Kings, but it picks up fast. The audiobook is magical; just about anything read by Travis Baldree is worth the time.

Dungeon Crawler Carl reference with a Way of Kings username? I’ve found my people.

Accepting that’s is ok to sometimes eat a frozen meal has been absolutely instrumental in helping me reduce eating out.

I got caught in the trap of perfect, trying to make tasty, healthy, low-cost meals, and then giving up when I couldn’t just do that every day with no experience.

The whole We Were Here series is marvelous. Asymmetrical co-op puzzle games. My friend and I’s recent games list looks very similar to this.

We also do a lot of single player games with one of us streaming over discord. When it’s a slow-burn puzzle or mystery game, it doesn’t really matter who is actually controlling.

For those types, I really recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re currently working our way through the entire Frogwares Sherlock Holmes collection. The old ones are so terrible, which is a greatness all by itself.

From literally the first paragraph stating it’s still there.

The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between April 21st and May 4th of 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[9]
