The great one was Sega vs Nintendo, this was a sequel. A noticeable and impactful war but not the 'great' one.

Hey now, those clothes were made out of multiple people's skins, not just the person they ate. ... Just Rimworld things.

Damnit I just got a 9800x3d, guess I'll be good knowing I can upgrade to whatever gpu comes out that's in the sweet spot for awhile. I do have a 3070 so not like I'm slumming it, but was really hoping that the 50xx series would be worth it. Guess it's time to read up on ray tracing and dlss type features since I haven't done that homework in many years now. Always seemed like Nvidia was better supported but maybe not the big difference it it appears to be. I have gone back and forth over the years anyways.

I bet it'll be pretty difficult to tell people we saved 1000 times what the contract was worth...

My favorite way to say Matt Damon for the internal laugh. Also enjoy the story of how the puppet didn't turn out right so we got what we all laugh at for the Matt Damon puppet.

My close save on (company from graphic) seems to have trouble keeping eggs in stock, plus it's like $8-9 for free range which I usually try to buy. Their quality (used to be quite orange now more dull, not as yellow as most eggs still) has gone down I hope the chickens are treated better.

The part that killed it for me when it came out was it was called the next Star Wars (heck it may have been one article but I grew up in the middle of nowhere, kinda like Luke heh, but it was closer to Hoth than Tatooine), like I can enjoy it fine, actually a favourite, but nowhere near the enjoyment I get out of the original trilogy. Okay I'll admit the original trilogy has a huge nostalgia factor but you don't think of that when you're like 16.

I do think it's a really fun movie overall, super green.

That's why I started figuring out beginner courses / tutorials to figure out if I could grasp the basics on something. Though I'm a bit older, so maybe it comes down to being old and not wanting to waste as much time. Least if I don't do good, I learned something. Did some blender one the other year to figure out some 3d modeling, was fun, then got distracted and haven't touched it since. Was neat to understand the graphics side of things though.

Or it's like a kid playing a game and interesting has a slightly different meaning. Yeah all my life forms thrived in harmony in my previous play throughs but this time I'm giving one of the smart ones a fun trait to make them incompatible with anything else to see what happens.

I did have the lid falling off thought when I first saw it though.

I used to quite enjoy the radio stations in Surviving Mars well a couple of them, apparently spent 145 hours in the game total. There may have been a few times it accidentally ran overnight from not closing but for what it was, it was fairly fun. Plus getting to turn Mars green always felt rewarding. I always played with chill locations though, never went for the hard runs, sometimes it's fun to play like humanity succeeds.

Yeah but a random (non IT especially) probably wouldn't need to boot from an external device, would they? As for the UEFI changes, a random employee shouldn't be in the BIOS either I would think.

I'm really curious on those, I don't do that sort of thing these days so sort of wondering how impactful it could be. Outside of the random person who thinks they should change them but that's got to be pretty minimal and IT should lock it down anyways.

Hope there's a sea minus minus somewhere for whomever that was.
