It’s almost like we should have strong data privacy laws so companies can’t spy on everything we do…

Bidet.

Yeah. I said it.

For those interested. The game is actually based on a book from the 80’s called Maze. It was a contest offering a reward for the first to solve it. It’s only a maze in the same in the same sense Blue Prince is

By random coincidence, my wife has the book. You can definitely see the resemblance.

Yes, you get dead ends a lot in the beginning. Eventually you find strategy and permanent upgrades and many more room types.

That’s what I kept asking myself. “How fucking big is this game?”

Well if you don’t get much time to play, be prepared that this one is an onion that takes time. If nothing else dive in long enough to see how much time the dev must have spent putting this together.

You’re not wrong. I’ve had most of these thoughts. I would appreciate more permanent upgrades to save time.

I won’t say it’s a flawless game. The depth is just so unexpected.

I played through the credits run solo. Now that I’m passed that, I’m bouncing ideas off a friend because it might take either of us ages to discover things like how to create certain items, etc.

You have me intrigued. I’ll check this one out.

I felt that way a bit too, but the game has so many layers of puzzles, that even a failed run has more to solve.

It’s kind of like watching Futurama. You still catch jokes on an episode you’ve seen ten times… Except clues in this case.

Thanks. I’ve got the content, so I’ll have to putter around with a few commands. I would love to be done with Plex.

Both. I was pretty tired when I last checked. My initial YouTube search turned up a bunch of installing other apps. Setting a port number…sure, I can do that. Installing other apps and settings… That’s a headache.

I’ll make another attempt when I get the energy, but thanks for the direction.

Pretty cool. If there was something between this and standard bloated Win 11, I would love that. It took me forever to uninstall/block half of the garbage that comes with the OS. It’s gotten ridiculous. Tiny 11 sounds like it scrapes just a little too much.

Yeah, yeah, I have Linux on another machine, but there are a number of things that I’m not technically proficient enough to figure out on Linux. He’ll, I’m still struggling to get Jellyfin to work remotely.

Couldn’t you just use a charcoal pencil or crayon instead?

The worst idiots are the ones who never admit when they’re wrong. Having the backbone to admit an error, change, and and move on speaks volumes.

Dunno. But I have purchased the kind for music, back when I was in a band. Much better than the foam kind. They also attenuate sound evenly rather than the drill thinking of adults in a Charlie Brown Christmas special. Great for concerts.

“I’m an uninformed idiot.”

Conservatives are fiscally reckless. Look at every conservative president’s deficit spending, and economic crashes. Look at the states most dependent on federal funds.

Even if you had zero morals and voted 100% on fiscal policies, the best choice is very clearly not conservative.

He is Franz Kafka. Franz Kafka!

TIL there is a cover song and director’s cut of this sweet Rock Opera.

So often it’s patience from stakeholders to allow for time to actually design and build the things, or willingness to admit the actual cost, or an impossible grand vision with an unqualified/understaffed team, and of course reprioritizing constantly as if it’s easy to resume later without paying ramp up.

Don’t get me started on the constant detailed status reports…

I disagree. I’m an ex tech guy, and I found it to be a pain in the ass. I really appreciate everything that everyone here does, but it’s empty enough that I recognize a number of users. The average person isn’t signing up. At 50k active users, our voice is small.

I don’t know what the grand vision is, but if it’s to provide the people with a corporate free perform, there needs to be… The People.

Fuck ICE
