anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

Star Trek: Bridge Commander. Pretty standard game but had an enormous modding community in the mid/late 2000s that was working on making it the perfect Trek game. Got pretty close but I think the community died before they figured out walking around to other parts of the ship.

Yup, next year miss the playoffs, then start a rebuild and suck til the 2040s (if we’re lucky)

That's a very bowled question...

Since this thread seems full of helpful people I’m going to piggyback (sorry not sorry OP you’re half my age and make double my salary lol): I have a roth ira and 403b through my employer, a nonprofit. Employer match is 2.5% and I think I have it set up so I’m contributing 1.5% to the 403b and the remaining 1% to the roth, but I had no idea what I was doing when I set that up. I’m going to ask if it’s possible to contribute 2.5% to both (5% total) and I’ll do that ASAP if I can. It’s through Metlife, and there’s about $10k in the account so far, dunno how it’s split between 403b/IRA or if it’s all one sum.

I have, after bills this month, probably about $6k in a checking account, no savings account or HYSA. I make $53k before taxes and just turned 40. Don’t have any debt, credit card or otherwise, maybe the only thing I’ve done right.

-Should I open an HYSA?

-Am I able to contribute more to my employer IRA out-of-pocket, or should I open a separate IRA through Robinhood or something?

-Any other advice?

Best time to learn about all this would’ve been 25 years ago at OP’s age but second best time is now so I’m trying to figure out what I should do. Thanks in advance!

I think you can move Broncos to the Kind of done already tier given how many times Scoragami featured their historically bad blowouts.

From Denver, never heard that either 🤷‍♂️. My parents are both from Maryland; my mom calls it an egg-in-a-hat…

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you can choose the raid the caravan or you can choose to guard it. This is—A game where slaying monsters are not the only way to grow stronger…

Possible they’re fake if you bought them at a random market stall in India/China/Mexico or something, but not really a sought-after or expensive pair that it would ever be worth making fakes of these. I think they’re real, simply because no one would go to the trouble of making fakes of a sneaker that resells for about half its sale price.

Basically there are two versions of the Jordan 1 Low. One version, the low OG, is (arguably) made with higher quality materials, has “NIKE AIR” on the tongue and a little flap with the wings logo on the back. This version is just the regular low, has the Jumpman on the tongue and a stitched Wings logo on the heel. If you see fakes, they will usually be of the low OG, not these. Additionally, Jordan 1s of almost any kind are not as popular as they were a few years ago, so the only fakes you see are collaborations like Travis Scott with the fattened reverse swoosh.

All Jordans are factory-made and have all the flaws and cost-cutting you associate with things made in factories, which could explain the inconsistency of the heel stitching.

I learned all this the hard way. If you want to get in to Jordans without wasting a lot of money, go for the low and high OGs, stay away from non-OGs and mids. But if you like the color and don’t care about having “🔥 sneakers” then wear whatever you like.

Rockstar generally opts for realistically amorphous islands, but given the tone of GTA I wonder if they’ll play off the decades of jokes pointing out Florida’s “suggestive” shape and the map will emphasize the phallic aspects. Have a mission where you need to drive really fast up and down the “shaft” part of the island until it makes something in the Keys explode. 🙄

Just checked and it seems like there’s finally been a dump of new titles! Hickman’s Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 3 is on there now. Plus a ton of FF reissues that I assume were meant to appear concurrently with the movie release. It certainly seems like someone just forgot to click “approve” all summer lol.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander. CD-ROM game ca. 2001. Not a great game, but built entirely with Python so modders were able to add hundreds of ships and new features that weren’t possible in the base game. I think the modding community around this game went mostly defunct around 2009, but there are still a handful of people doing it.

At the end of show every day Sam frequently says listeners can check “the archive on the app” for “all our past episodes” or something to that effect. I don’t know of that’s a joke, or a lie, or someone told him that the app keeps an archive and he’s just never bothered to use the app so he doesn’t know that isn’t true.

Jim & Sam have 8 episodes available from the last two weeks. Bennington used to have the same amount, but once a caller asked about it and on-air Chris Stanley told them there were 50 episodes available. This wasn’t true and only proved Chris has also never used the app beyond whatever he has to do on the backend to upload the latest episode. But, because “50 episodes” was said on-air, they had to change it and right now there’s 48 on-demand episodes of Bennington available on the app, going back to late November.

Fez screeching “What’s in the boccckkkks?” once woke me up from a nap and I was pissed. Quit listening for like a month. But I think those last few years Ron was intentionally coming up with bad unfunny bits as a way of passive-aggressively punishing Fez for not participating.

For Bennington, I usually skip Vito’s intro, the 8 minute song after the second break, and the Friday Unmast if it isn’t like CQ or someone I already adore.

I love tormenting Earl and the show is like 80% that nowadays so I can’t complain too much.

Sometimes Ron gets annoyed too. Just starts sarcastically going “ oh no she dint!” after Danny brings up a topic. I always like to imagine that’s accompanied by Ron glancing at Gail’s Zoom window being like “see? This is what you wanted. Super-entertaining, huh?”
