“Giants: Citizen Kabuto”

It was a hillarious mix of everything. Super funny characters/story, great telling, fps, rts, asymetrical… All being super casual. Still on gog and still a joy.

“battlezone”

Best blend of rpg/rts/Story. So far i never saw one coming close that gameplay.

Dearth of excitement? I sometimes wish for a bit less excitement :-) But the day only has 24h and there are so many hobbies to pursue…

It’s literally in the term. But yeah sure, it’s easier to just smack the same label on everything. Whatever makes you happy.

They could simply

A) dislike X

B) hate/despise X

C) came to the logical conclusion, that X is bad/wrong/shouldn’t be/whatever

D) genereally mistrusting against X due to a careful nature

E) have had traumatic experience with X (e.g. Being raped/attacked by a member of a specific ethnicity) and hence totally overreacting to an otherwise harmless stimulus, even forgetting the rules of civil behaviour

Those all don’t mean there’s the medical condition of a phobia for X.

A real xenophobic has an irrational fear of anything unknown/alien. Doesn’t mean the person just hates e.g. Mexicans for no real reason. It might even like them once they get to know the better, which often just won’t happen as phobics tend to avoid the cause their phobia instead of treating it.

I just dislike the lax use of medical terms until they’re bereft of any real meaning.

So, a person who yanks “speak English!” to someone, could have many reasons to do. None are neither polite nor politically correct. While the asshole is probably just the uneducated asswipe, the phobic could be helped and probably even feels bad afterwards for being so compulsive and insulting.

Spent the week doing tours with wifey, gaming like a maniac, catching up on some documentaries, and being glad for not having to worry about kids or pets or anything else 😊

Not everyone disliking something is necessarily phobic towards it. That’s just one possoble explanation.

Seems nice, but no root as far as I’ve seen, which kills it for ne

Don’t trust every “article” on some shitty website.

Aye. SMS still exists. And for those boomers with their facebook and WhatsApp, it’s not even a new thing ☺️

Added bonus: those who do install “your” app, show a minimum in interest. You’re even worth the “effort”.

Well. I do it the other way. I would not install effing whatsapp just to reach someone. I tell then once where to find me, and, if they want to know, why this is and why i prefer it and why i wouldn’t install app X. If they don’t, then bad luck for me. Or not.

I only did once a long time ago, so… I dunno if you need confirmation or something more than just pluggin in.

I assume you don’t have adb enabled? Or maybe even a custom recovery?

Otherwise the best shot would be a usb-dongle with hmdi and keyboard/mouse.

Amen…

Ubuntu and WinServer2019 vms split over a proxmox-machine and server2019-hyperv-machine

2 each for replication.

Well, it’s a hobby/passion. Simple as that. I’m a nerd, i love such things. And home automation is a thing I’ve dreamt of since the first automatic door in star trek. Automatic lights, alarm-system, cameras, a smart AI (locally, no stupid alexa et al),a tablet at the door which tells us everything we want to know on a quick glance (weather, shopping-list, fuel-prices, status of all machines etc). And all that with some many thousand lines of code and triple redundancy 😍

When i visit other people I actually find it “retro” to use light-switches 😁

So true. I’m in the warez-scene for >3 decades now, never had a single issue. But nowadays legit software, especially AAA? Ugh…

I’d second a selfhosted dav too. Recommending Baikal. But it needs a lil bit of “work”.

Yet, if FOSS is more a wish than a requirement: Try Bring. “free”, syncs and has an api to get it connected to smart-home or whatever. Definately the easiest thing.

At least they don’t try to make you pay for that :-)

That’s why i stopped using those at all. It’s always the same.

But screw alexa. Why would i even want a bug sending my voice to some random server? And pay for it? Wouldn’t use that thing if they’d pay me…

Oh sorry, that wasn’t meant to come across harsh 😊
