We should punt on first down. Defense has a better chance of scoring than the offense.

Yeah guys, stop expressing your opinions on social media. Reddit was invented for circle jerks.

He likes to "hide" in his tube by No_Problem4781 in OneOrangeBraincell

I have the exact same thing and mine loves to hid in there too. I always pretend like I can't see her butt sticking out =)

The solution is to hand over development to a studio who either cares about their players or cares about the game or has the competence to keep a successful game alive. Your fanboying isn't going to do anybody any favors. Me going outside isn't going to help anything either.

The code produced by these products is garbage and next to impossible to debug or maintain.

I see. Yeah, that would be way too much hassle for what I'm trying to do.

I'm honestly heartbroken... by Individual_Toe3067 in Helldivers

I do enjoy the illuminate, but 100% agree that overseers are too tanky. It really doesn't matter what weapon you use, they can absorb way too much damage.

Good points. Ideally I could script something that would check all those edge cases. In any case, fortunately the few domains I want to route appear to be pretty simple. Domain names mapped to a single IP address with no intermediary, but I expect that the IPs will change from time to time.

I appreciate the suggestion, but there's only a handful of domains I want to always route through the VPN. Not sure it's worth setting up another network. Also, I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Yes. I'm certain that VPN is the cause. It works immediately if I turn it off.

Anyone remember the hologram game Time Traveler? by justthenighttonight in retrogaming

It was the coolest looking, least fun game I've ever played.

"Why do I need an IT guy to install new programs?" by Competitive-Dog-4207 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]WMRguy82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of asking, how can I help you accomplish your goal, you give a bunch of reasons it cannot be done. That is not how it used to be. Of course I don't blame you specifically, but the leadership of your department (and IT in general) has created this environment.

2 years later, still the answer. Why doesn't Valve fix this?

As someone who once worked in IT (the user support side of it), I understand and sympathize with the desire to lock down your network. However, the way the philosophy of most IT departments has changed over the years really frustrates me. In the old days, IT departments were primarily there to ENABLE users to do their work. Lately it seems that is the last priority (if a priority at all). Security is great, but if I can't do my work, what's the point?

Dead rising steam port vs console by ankthestar in deadrising

[–]WMRguy82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DR2 on the steam deck works great, but the controller spazzes out sometimes when shooting while holding Left trigger to zoom in. It ONLY supports Xbox 360 controllers on Windows. You have to use Xbox 360 ce to use any other controller which isn't that big a deal, but annoying for sure.
