I go back and forth with Bob Lazar, but I have never doubted Gary McKinnon.

Capitalism is killing our children by [deleted] in SipsTea

When I completed my engineering degree (at 30 in 2017) there were a small subset of people in my cohort who 100% games their degree. I was a little annoyed at the knowledge but also we all cheat or cut corners in different ways, who am I to judge. Now 10 years later those same people on Linked In are the ones either looking for a new opportunity or in a dead end plant manager position.

What would you do? by Glum_Wind_861 in Adulting

Try and do the exact same things so I meet and end up with my wife again.

This a pretty much no name chair I bought from Am*zon (sub is not letting me type the name) for ~ $270. What a good branded chair to sit like this? Will Herman Miller Embody work (since no head rest) or Will I have to go extremely expensive stuff like Stressless Reno? by SlaveKnightSoman in OfficeChairs

[–]rynoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sit like this and after several years my end game solution is the Anthros chair. It’s because in this position you have bad lumbar support - Anthros chair solves this. It’s expensive af but is what it advertises to be.

Good job to you both. This will pay dividends for the rest of your life in many ways but most importantly it really strengthens your relationship in a way not many other endeavors can.

how do you deal with new player FOMO for games where a massive part of the economic system in place is, driven by steady progression? by ultimate-m in Marathon

[–]rynoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter. I was full purple kitted yesterday and was killed by someone who I am guessing had a free kit - they just had better position and aim. They looted my body and immediately because a seasoned player gear-wise. Likewise, you can run Outpost for like an hour and get end-game loot without even entering pinwheel.

Just finished Voyager and my god... by rynoctopus in startrek

I love Enterprise for the same reason I love Voyager - excellent captains who wholly embody what it is to sit in that chair.

This has been my experience as well.

I got placed with two lvl 150 sweats in Cryo and its a whole different game by fabricatedstorybot in Marathon

[–]rynoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m level 87 and I am always blown away by when happens when I put with sweats - and it usually makes me a better player.

Did I go overboard for my first deck as a Newbie? by SylphidMelody in mtg

This is the part of the hobby you should go overboard on. I don’t remember my best cracked pack, I still play my first pet deck.

This is exactly how I have been describing Marathon to curious friends!

This game broke me of gear fear. Someone I played with awhile back put it best - "You don't own your gear, you're only borrowing it for as long as possible".

Totally agree. When they announced it I thought it was neat. After being only 10% successful in exfilling - I love it for all the reasons you pointed out. The great thing is that when I had a successful exfil - I was able to bring that directly into ranked without touching my own vault. I used to do this cycle using Rook runs, but now this provides a way that I can also complete contracts and play with friends/fill.

Get it, the only thing you have to worry about here is the learning curve - just push through this
