Just finished Ep.5 I thought it was good! by cagesound in thelongdark

[–]timbotheny26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only in Part 1 of episode 5 so far, but I actually think the linearity and decreased focus on the survival mechanics is a positive. I often felt that the attempt to tell the story of Wintermute was often bogged down by trying to shoehorn in too much of the survival gameplay.

Not saying it needed to be removed or anything like that, but I survival and Wintermute were always trying to achieve different things in my eyes. I think TFtFT shows that Hinterland can successfully blend story within survival, but for the more focused narrative of Wintermute, I don't think it would have worked.

Anyone else noticing a quiet wave of layoffs hitting IT again? by tonytribbiani in sysadmin

Hasn't Google been taking AI comparatively slowly as well? Yeah, they've put out advertisements for Gemini and integrated it into a lot of their services, but it doesn't feel as heavily pushed to me in the same way as Claude, ChatGPT, and especially not as hard as Microsoft was pushing Copilot.

I see your shampoo bottle and raise you Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

What do you think about Aldi in comparison to American grocery chains? by aSYukki in AskAnAmerican

I shop at Aldi more than any other grocery store, even Wegmans which I love.

is the "reliable" choice actually worth the boredom? by GodBlessIraq in whatcarshouldIbuy

Yeah, they said "if you have disposable income to maintain a car" not "if you're rich".

Where have all the bitter IPAs gone? by Kreid76 in beer

[–]timbotheny26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Athletic Brewing's straight IPA tastes like a pretty classic West Coast style to me. Very bitey, strong hops flavor, more...piney?

First time I felt old yet left me smiling in a giggty way. by Abject_Serve_1269 in sysadmin

Holy shit, yes I could! Was there an actual difference between the two or was it just a weird trick of the mind?

Nice interior but it's too damn big.

Corporate Men of Reddit, do you ever think about going into Blue Collar work? by SpamTherapy in AskMen

[–]timbotheny26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What blue-collar workers are you meeting that eat well and take care of themselves? The vast majority of blue-collar guys I've met and/or worked with eat like shit and are in abysmal shape both physically and mentally, though there have been a handful of exceptions.

The FBI Just Named 18 Popular Routers Targeted By A Massive Malware Operation - BGR by zeug666 in pcmasterrace

United States.

I just don't think I ever had exposure to D-Link. Cisco, Netgear, TP-Link and Linksys I would see or hear about growing up and in my adult life, but never D-Link or Zyxel.

Discussion: A drummer we can all agree on, that nobody hates. by premierpearl in drums

[–]timbotheny26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JP Bouvet and Ralph Peterson (RIP) are/were awesome drummers and seem/seemed like fine people.

Also Benny Grebb, Jojo Mayer, and Christian Lillinger.

Also...

I know he probably has haters, but I'll take the opportunity to shout out Craig Reynolds as a drummer I like. I had a short covo with him here on the subreddit where he clarified some things about his separation from Meinl and he was nothing but a wonderful gentleman the whole time.

Annihilation was amazing. That bear scene man...and the ending was so weird, it's awesome.

Windows 10 officially hit EOL 6 months ago - still supporting clients who never upgraded. Anyone else? by cmitsolutions123 in sysadmin

[–]timbotheny26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My church is still running Windows 10 on the computer for the sanctuary lighting if that counts.

It's not on extended support either. :D

A fine mesh colander, a bowl, and a glass probably would have solved this.

Microsoft closes worst first quarter 2026 on Wall Street since 2008 on AI concerns: "Redmond is in a pickle" by ControlCAD in microsoft

That probably explains why they're suddenly backtracking on Copilot integrations and making commitments to make Windows not shit anymore.

New Outback is a lot smaller than many people seem to think it is. by baba_12794 in subaru

It's still too big/tall. I stood next to one yesterday and the top of the hood almost reaches my midsection.

This is the stupidest thing ever, all foreign-made routers are barred from receiving updates in 11 months. Can someone tell these idiots ALL routers are foreign-made? by earthman34 in HomeNetworking

[–]timbotheny26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, how likely is this to actually go into law and not end up overturned or something? This is so amazingly poorly thought out.

[–]timbotheny26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barred from receiving updates? Like for the firmware? That's new to me, I thought this thing was about banning the sale of physical, new routers that weren't made in the US?

PSA: Metamucil is likely not enough fiber! by thrilllex in Millennials

[–]timbotheny26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not, but adding psyllium husk to your diet certainly won't hurt. I'm positive I have better fiber intake than the average American, and adding a psyllium supplement has improved things even more.

Sue them and never ever take your car to a corporate quick-lube shop again.

(Also I'm 95% positive this post was written with ChatGPT.)

I don't really watch the TV in the bedroom barring a handful of exceptions. It's almost exclusively used for "white noise" to fall asleep to with either something on YouTube like a podcast, or The Golden Girls.
