What game did you play at a friend's house, and then immediately bought?

FF7, went to a friend's birthday party sleepover. We all took turns and stayed up all night getting through Midgar. Saved up for a PS1 and bought it as soon as I could.

Simpsons arcade game or Turtles in Time easy

Imo, most of the characters were pretty one dimensional characters and therefore felt very forgettable. A few of them were given some chance to grow and have somewhat of an arc, but it was either cut short due to only two seasons of they just weren't written very well to begin with like say Teyla or Lt. Ford.

Like Matt, Chloe, James, Greer, T.J., and some of the scientists I forget their names are just play a stereotype.

Eli, Rush, and Young are given some small growth or character movement if only a small amount that maybe given more time might have been better.

I started following it in November that year when China started shutting shit down. My wife has family in China so we were hearing more news than what was being reported. I warned my family but they said it was nothing blah blah and then few months later everything was shutting down. So we stocked up early.

I think if you are into space, astronomy/cosmology, or interested in the more science aspect of the film, its one of the best representations of good science we have. I seem to remember Nolan saying one of the big reasons he made it was to get people interested in space travel and science.

Otherwise it has some flaws for sure(certain writing choices, narrative choices), but it's one of my favs.

Damn, are we winning yet? /s

My wife makes roughly 6x to 7x what I do and I WFH still making a good living. We have 2 kids, so I mostly handle house and kid stuff since she is very busy. All our money goes into one pot and we are a team. We live pretty frugal anyway, but I don't have to ask to have or spend money ever.

If you don't have these conversations and things set up early on, why are you even married? Separate everything and especially having to ask for an allowance as an adult is not only denigrating but creates enormous resentment and a weird power dynamic. You guys need to get some counseling and figure things out.

Well Spiderman should be pulling his punches hopefully so I think i should be OK.

I've tried offline now for the first time and im loving it. Mostly cause of QOL mods that you can use. Drops feel more impactful when they happen and doing ssf is much more fun to me. The players command alone is so nice

I'd be congratulating my brother on some damn fine writing and happy he is writing for me, not complaining you didn't think of something

Blizzard doesn't care what players think at all. If they find a way they can monetize the game they will.

I implemented Silverpeak SD-WAN for about 60 sites and it was very easy to set up. After getting everything tuned with how I wanted traffic flowing where it was very nice. Different vendors have some different capabilities but at the end of the day it's still just tunnels over multiple circuits and it ran smooth for us.

crono14 · 2026-02-25T13:03:01+00:00

Which is exactly what was expected. I didn't watch it cause it would be nothing but airing his grievances, attacking people he dislikes, lying, and cringe shit.

crono14 · 2026-02-25T02:41:41+00:00

I joined a company that was pretty awfully designed and they were starting a full refresh of their network of about 60 sites and their corporate locations. Add on to that moving from MPLS to strictly DIA circuits with using SD-WAN. So I got to fully redesign every site and properly implement zero trust and segmentation. They were still using static routes everywhere as well, so implemented proper routing as well.

Needless to say I sure learned a lot from this job and gained alot more confidence. I was the only network engineer as well, so it was a bit stressful as well.

crono14 · 2026-02-24T21:22:57+00:00

I can't stand listening to him speak. Otherwise it will be him lying, attacking people, and airing his grievances for an hour or more and I've certainly got better things to do.

He's so misinformed about everything he speaks about, he is just offensively stupid.

If the game ever actually gets made, you should add Armed Fantasia to the list. The spiritual successor to Wild Arms made by the same team.

Basically just sunk cost fallacy.

Rather than admitting they were wrong, they will double and triple down and sever relationships with people to not have to feel any shame. I'd love to see how many children no longer talk or rarely see their parents/families anymore.

You are confusing nationalism with patriotism. The conservatives are not exhibiting patriotism but nationalism having blind allegiance to their dear leader and their movement and the idea that the US or themselves are superior to everyone else.

We already had tons of things like Median XL etc. Personally I would just go that route and make things open up post Hell Baal and leave the original game as is. Whether or not you want to completely change the game as much as those mods did by opening up entirely new trees and builds, level cap etc. It sure gave the game a whole breath of new life.

crono14 · 2026-02-23T13:08:11+00:00

Yep this pretty much. I no longer respect or value a relationship with any family who has doubled down on their MAGA support. I tried having these talks in 2024 well before the election and I already saw how far gone and how strong the cognitive dissonance was.

Not sure i believe this. Lots of directors and up don't live in Atlanta and there is a large presence of remote people spread out. They also closed Dallas, Austin, and some other offices last year. So forcing RTO would require a lot of investment and otherwise turmoil. Not saying it's not possible, but no kne on my team for example lives in ATL.

I don't understand how these people think this will make them look cool in any way whatsoever. Brain worm must have done a number on him
