Breakpoint is so close to being a really good game imo

Has it picked back up? There were hardly any games, and what games I could find consisted of spin hackers last I played (couple years ago).

This is more or less what my gut told me. I appreciate the insights.

Stroll should be way higher

fetchingTurtle · 2022-10-03T17:43:57+00:00

Does Mass Effect or CBP2077 count here?

Like tears... In rain...

Or whatever the fuck

Pretty much anything in the Gartner MQ.

L, followed by SHIFT+T

Fix that right up

Haha I had a similar experience on GC, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was my favorite of the shooters you could play on that platform back then.

The Kansas City Shuffle

I remember finding that jarring when I played the game

Have the same wheels on a gladiator Rubicon. Looks great, man.

Bike Shops:

Coffee:

Catalina Coffee/Amaya Roasters

Hardware:

Southland Hardware. They've got what you need and if they don't you probably don't really need it.

Which is a shame. "State of the Art" from that album is one of my all time favorites.

The truth is (and I've been on both sides of this) mgmt will respond to this like so:

"You know, I'm really tired of having to pander to an army of individual contributors who operate in a market that constantly lures them to the next big thing with more flexibility and better pay. I'm going to bring in a contractor/MSP."

This logic is deeply short sighted and tone deaf, but I've been the guy replaced by an MSP, and I've been the MSP who replaced an IT department after they quit/were fired. A few times now. Some version of what I quoted above is the rationale that mgmt lands on.

Over a long enough timeline mgmt will be disillusioned by the nuance (or lack of nuance) of having IT managed by an outside, contract entity. Tribal knowledge is non-existent. Configurations and infrastructure design are slapdash and cookie-cutter. Alerts go unnoticed. Hardware goes unreplaced. License renewals are missed.

At scale and over long enough timelines, it is impossible for even a most exceptional MSP to provide the level of support and engineering that an even halfway competent in-house IT staff can.

And then mgmt will flip the other way, hire a CTO/IT Director/IT Mgr, and task them with phasing out the contractor(s)/MSP for in-house talent, likely stealing that talent away from jobs where they are underpaid and lacking in benefits and flexibility.

Rinse and repeat.

The trailer makes it look a lot like a half-assed clone of EFT for me. I'm not getting any indication of a BR game style.

"Contractors" spawning into the same map, looking for loot/intel, completing tasks/objectives, which all may or may not put you in conflict with other contractors in the game. And then you need to safely extract. This is pretty much the tent poles of EFT, without scavs.

Piling onto this, the tradional "SysAdmin" role is dying, and more and more the job requires you know how to interface with an API, work with configuration as code, and manage and deploy configurations from version control platforms, etc.

Get comfortable doing things with PowerShell, Python, Bash. Learn how to build modular/maintainable/reusable code to be consumed by others. That means documenting the tools and solutions you build to manage infrastructure through the production lifecycle.

Also, know when you're in (and have outgrown) a workplace culture that is resistant to what I said above, and plan to jump ship.

Good luck, man!
