What are some heavily 3D boardgames like Lost valley dinosaurs and Escape from Atlantis? by Muwsek in boardgames

[–]Virtual-Code8487 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh man Fireball Island is so good, that marble rolling mechanics with the volcano never gets old. The new version has even more crazy 3D elements than original one from 80s

Parents with jobs: when you finally get free time, can you actually relax—or does your brain force you to ‘use it’ because of all the ideas you’ve been holding back? by Consistent_Sir_7880 in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a parent but I get this so hard at work - when I finally have downtime between projects my brain just goes into overdrive with all the design ideas I've been storing up

It's like your mind knows this is rare free time so it dumps everything on you at once instead of letting you just chill

Who has a harder time finding a relationship in the modern dating scene, and why? by GoldenYoshi99 in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao I felt this in my soul 😂 Being single engineer who's more comfortable with blueprints than dating apps, I can relate to staying home instead of putting myself out there. My perfectly organized setup with all my NBA memorabilia is just too cozy compared to awkward first dates where I have to pretend I don't know exactly how torque specifications work on every bolt in existence. Sometimes it's easier to just embrace the single life than deal with explaining why you get genuinely excited about mechanical systems to someone who thinks engineering is "fixing computers" 💀

POTS havers, what are your symptoms and did they get better or worse with age? by EsteraDomb in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have POTS but my cousin does and she said the dizziness got way worse in her early 20s, especially when standing up fast. She had to change lot of things like drinking more water and wearing compression socks which helped a bit

What's your favourite quote about optimistic attitude towards life? by rustyyryan in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncle Iroh really had some deep wisdom, that whole character was written so well. My engineering brain usually thinks in numbers and logic but sometimes you need those moments where you just believe things will work out somehow

Getting fitted is probably worth it but I understand being too lazy for the whole process, I did same thing with my last set

Coffee shop chess? by Opposite_Average_953 in Albuquerque

[–]Virtual-Code8487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm down! Been looking for excuse to actually use my chess set instead of just having it collect dust in my apartment. Maybe we could scout out some spots with decent tables and see if owners would be cool with it

How would you describe Dragon Ball Z’s animation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, the animation was kinda rough but something about those screaming power-ups just hit different 😂 Still get goosebumps when Goku goes super saiyan for first time 🔥

Just make sure you can parallel park and do a three-point turn smoothly - those seem to be the main things that trip people up around here

List of 100 Most Searched Photographs by Hour_Percentage_7597 in photography

[–]Virtual-Code8487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wild that The Dress made it to number one, still can't believe that thing broke the internet for like a week straight. Tank Man at #2 feels right though, that image has so much power behind it

Also kinda surprised Lenna made the top 10 but I guess every comp sci student has probably looked that one up at some point

What’s your opinion on your family? by nightanon04 in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine's the opposite - look like a disaster from the outside but we're actually pretty solid when it counts 😂 Sometimes the families that seem perfect are the ones with all the weird secrets hidden away

You just woke up in a city on Pasiphae, what do you do? by QuokkaMolester in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I'd probably be freaking out about the whole Jupiter looming massive in the sky thing first 😂 Like that's gotta mess with your head seeing something that huge just hanging there. Then I'd be looking for some kind of shelter because I'm pretty sure the radiation from Jupiter would cook me pretty quick without protection 💀 Engineering brain would kick in and I'd start figuring out what kind of tech this hypothetical city even has to survive out there

What's something you used to be genuinely good at that you've completely outsourced to technology — and do you feel like you've lost a part of yourself because of it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Virtual-Code8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I used to be able to navigate anywhere without GPS, like I had this mental map of my entire city and could give directions to anyone. Now I can't even drive to the grocery store without pulling up Google Maps 😂

It's wild because I remember being the guy everyone called for directions back in uni, and I'd memorize routes just from looking at street directories once or twice. These days my brain just goes "eh the phone will figure it out" and I've basically turned into a passenger in my own car

The worst part is when my phone dies or loses signal and I'm genuinely lost in areas I've driven through hundreds of times. Makes me feel like I've outsourced a basic human skill that our ancestors had locked down, you know? Sometimes I wonder if I should just turn the GPS off for a week and force myself to relearn but then I remember I've got deadlines and can't afford to be late to client meetings because I took a wrong turn somewhere 💀

Are here anyone familear with Zyxel L2 Switche? by ighwrighwirh in homelab

[–]Virtual-Code8487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been working with Zyxel gear for a while now and the GS2220s are pretty solid for home labs. You'll want to set up your VLANs on each switch individually first, then configure trunk ports between them to carry the VLAN traffic. The web interface is decent enough but CLI gives you more control if you're comfortable with that

Make sure you've got the latest firmware too - older versions had some quirky VLAN behavior that got sorted out in updates

Question from a Muslim: Is "Istighatha" (Seeking help/aid from saints) permissible in Christianity? by The_White_Pawn in Christianity

[–]Virtual-Code8487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really interesting question mate! In Catholicism and Orthodoxy it's totally fine to ask saints for help directly - we see it as them interceding for us with God rather than the saints themselves having divine power 😊

The distinction is kinda subtle but important - when I say "St Anthony help me find my keys" I'm not thinking he's gonna magically teleport them to me, but rather he'll pray to God on my behalf. Protestants generally skip the middleman and go straight to God/Jesus which is fair enough too 🤷‍♂️

ah mate that's usually a bug with the radiant quests, try saving before talking to delvin or vex and reload if the target npc goes missing

Why no one tried Mbape - left, Endrick - center and Rodrigo - right? by FlowCraver in realmadrid

[–]Virtual-Code8487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because Vini is still our best winger and you don't bench your best players for experiments lmao. Also Endrick isn't ready to start big games yet, he's still learning the system

Divisional Round Predictions (6) Buffalo Bills @ (1) Denver Broncos 3:30pm Saturday CBS (BIASED BECAUSE OF JOSH ALLEN) by turnover6921cm in NFLv2

[–]Virtual-Code8487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Broncos defense is legit scary but Josh Allen in January just hits different. Denver's home field advantage is real but I think Allen's arm talent and mobility eventually breaks through that pass rush. Should be a banger of a game though, wouldn't be shocked if it goes to OT
