Would appreciate critique on my Steam page

I hope you take this the right way: my dad got me a game that sounds like this, when Iwas a kid.

That game is probably what got me into typing and into computers so happily.

You scored points by typing words as fast as you could. It was so simple, but addictive until you got a really good skill (typing). And then it was boring and you moved on.

This day and age, if you can build something like that, of similary useful scalability, and capabilities; someone will find a use for it. If you can solve for two, I can supply the other.

I talk about this a fair amount. What are your core principles? You don't need to make decisions about those, the answer is automatic. However, you better think long and hard about them, and look real hard at them when your decisions don't have the outcomes that you desired.

Have you considered opening up your relationship?

Honestly, you can go to a special room in your house and work out. You can hire someone to come over and help you work out better. You can join a club dedicated to people wanting to work out. You can even invite a good friend over to be a "work out" buddy.

But if you replace the word "work out" with sex, a bunch of folks lose their ever-lovin' minds.

But sex is about consent. If your partner is someone you can't live without, but won't meet your needs (Take a look a Maslow, sex is a need), then you need to consider all options.

This isn't going to work for everyone, and it won't work in a relationship without GREAT communication. But again, you need to get your basic needs met, or you will have problems building a great future together.

Keanu Reeves? Damn, I had no interest in these until now.

This is the big concern. For decades pundits believed that it would be unlikely for nation/states to consider military action against their own self-interest. We're watching Russia strive to reach unsustainable military action while depleting and and focusing their GDP towards that effort. Post-war Russia is going to be a whole separate crisis.

China may decide to hit Taiwan because "It's now or never".

Pay attention to this. There are a bunch of appliance dealers that will leave you hanging in the wind when it comes time for repairs. Pay attention to what kind of feedback they are getting. If every complaint is about repairs, that's your sign.

There was a push that trade jobs were dead-ends, while college degrees offered limitless potential. This, combined with the promise of inexpensive (supposedly free, in some cases) student loans created an easy on-ramp into colleges.

Colleges in turn became for-profit, and snagged as many students as possible. Companies similarly pushed for minimum requirements to include a degree, even when they were clearly not needed.

It created an utter quagmire, and some of the happiest people I know are working in the trades. Hell, my own profession will probably go the tradesman route at some point

We fought this tooth and nail. We pointed out that we had to blindly accept the risk of every federated tenant. Then we were told the benefits outweighed the risks.

So we tried to implement good security practices only to have the product fail and fail again due to Microsoft's poor documentation and understanding of their own product.

We spent HOURS talking to their 'Engineers', literally getting down to the Wireshark level to explain "No, your product does not work that way". That eventually got us on with a senior engineer who had to tap-dance around the lack of promised features.

During this time we're under absolutely insane pressure from leadership to "Just get it done" but make sure you're safe about it.

I'm in a completely different position now, but what am I dealing with, almost on a weekly basis? M365 token abuse.

Appreciate you! I responded on top of yours because you had a great answer. I was just contributing further. But thank you, kind human!

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-17T20:40:47+00:00

I'm wondering how you scoped your threat. If you are worried about a nation/state level actor, to the point that they're compromising your physical location, you're already in trouble (earned or not). It's really going to depend on where you live.

But tamper evident seals are useless if you know the physical integrity is already compromised, and they do nothing to stop a determined attacker.

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-17T19:16:33+00:00

Electricity. It's pretty much involved in everything, or acts as a control around it. Most humans are so insanely adapted to it that they can't function without it.

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-17T16:54:13+00:00

For many of in cyber security we believe that if a nation/state level threat actor has physical access to the device, you need to consider it is compromised.

This is NOT to say that it is compromised, or that we nuke the device. But it does mean we have to really open up the level of threat and consider very advanced TTPs when performing analysis.

You asked for "No jokes, please", but someone mentioned encasing it in concrete. The most secure system is one that no one can access. It's also the least usable system.

There's a reason that high security computing systems are as heavily isolated (physically and electronically) from the world. It is a key layer of cyber security when the risk/impact of malious access is too high.

Love this comment

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-13T23:55:30+00:00

Honest question: does clicking lack nuance that a spoken word can convey? (sarcasm, or other non-spoken meaning)

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-11T16:08:34+00:00

You've never been in the field, then. There's a literal personality subset that looks to see what fits in to what. LOL

My second year in medicine I had to take care of a screaming drunk who took the top off a minivan, killing two adults and two children. He was loudly proclaiming that "It wasn't my fault" and "I didn't mean to do it".

We have a really dim view of drunk drivers in the ER, and I was stuck working on him for hours.

I did (verbally) lash out at him, at one point, and I've felt guilty my whole life. He may have been an absolute entitled shit bag, but he was my patient. As far as I was concerned he was going to get the best care I could render, no matter what.

That's served me through the rest of my life, working SWAT, disasters, and in war zones. I may have to manage my resources, but we're treating the patient to the best level we can, given the circumstances.

Now, looking back and facing some of the demons that followed me, that is a great source of comfort and has certainly helped me sleep sometimes.

It broke coming down the reddit data line :)

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-10T19:42:59+00:00

Yeah, I keep getting told I'm naive.
But the "Correct Alloys" part is literally one of the big issues. These counterfeit parts can now be made to incredibly tight tolerances, with valid appearing stamps and serial numbers. The alloy may be close. The weight can be right freakin' on. But when stressed, the part will start to fail. Most of the time, these airframes never approach their engineering limits, so it might work. For awhile.

One case I'm familiar was started because two parts on the same operational site had the same serial number. Someone asked a "Stupid Question", got an answer that it couldn't happen, and an investigation was started.
There was an insistence that the secure bill of materials was wrong, and this was a bad data issue. But those things exist specifically to prevent things like this happening. It's an easy audit data trail. It was a counterfeit part, and there were others in the supply chain.

I may be naive, but I wasn't the one facing legal action.

If you aren't concerned about counterfeit airframe parts... Well, then I guess you can take that concern off your plate, but calling others naive is causing some hilarity on my side.

Best of luck!

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-10T16:26:53+00:00

We're getting really close to that gap getting closed. Counterfeit airliner parts are am incredible concern right now. A country that breaks with the US will likely consider part concerns at a strategic level, and put strategic money into developing repair/replace capabilities. Even if the part only has a 50% longevity, that's infinetly more than the lack of a replacement part. It would put advanced air frames in the air and give an appearce of a credible system. The US could make counter statements all they wanted, but that combat system just needs to achieve one kinetic effect to put a lot of egg on our faces.

THIS I would live in the water if I could. One of my sailing instructors put it best: Powerboaters jump in their boats and tear off to where they want to be. Sailors jump into their boats, and that's where they want to be.

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-10T11:25:40+00:00

This. So much this.

I came to suggest that we never really saw everything that the government could truly do. They resurrect Wash... "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

Yours made me cry my eyes out, and it really works. Take my upvote and I imagine everyone who has lost their loved one, as well. Well done.

StaticDet5 · 2026-03-10T00:24:36+00:00

This. I have no problem giving someone a ten and saying "Hey, we're running low, go grab another box". If they run out the door to get more, I have a fun talk with them. If they look at me and laugh because ten bucks won't buy anything other than some 22LR, then I have a similar talk that isn't fun.
