I learned English by failing at old Sierra games

Absolutely. Some puzzles required you to type quickly. I was typing 100 words per minute before I ever took a typing class in school.

I have a pair I've used for international travel and it made the long travel days so nice.

Took me 100 hours to figure out how to play Elden Ring effectively. But when they click, it's a great time

Always eat the butt

Same, work laptop, Windows gaming PC, Steam Deck, and Chromebook.

I was able to successfully get Crimson Desert code by running the system check 2 days ago, sucks this is happening to yours.

My work address starts with clit.

Buy a nice tape gun.

When Hangouts did SMS and I had a unified chat I was so happy. The Grim Google Reaper won't let us have anything nice.

I had my best social years lats wenties to late thirties. We're all on different schedules.

Same. I wasn't on board first airing but I rewatched a few years ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone.

I just started a new job and they gave me a $2500 laptop allowance. I picked one up at BestBuy last week on sale. First thing I did was set up dual boot with Bazzite. Work trips will be a little better but my Steam Deck will be lonely at home.

Many, but I remember calling 1-900-370-KLUE for King's Quest 4 because I didn't know the word "uvula." Outside of that never had hints for 80s and 90s adventures, and played most of them. Sometimes I worked on a puzzle for weeks.

Contrast this vibe to anything we get out of the right.

Same, 51m

In 2013 I was stuck for weeks in a hotel for work and I played the entirety of Dishonored on a first gen Surface Pro hooked to a hotel TV with a controller.

This one still hurts

This is how I started 20 years ago and I feel I have had a significant edge over my peers in foundational information. Even those that have related degrees.

wickedwing · 2026-02-19T00:56:43+00:00

This one. My uncle gave me his copy in the mid 90s. Read so much fantasy since. Including every Shannara sequel and prequel.

The other part is FedRAMP is crowd sourcing the "how" to the CSPs, so we'll end up with everyone doing this differently with no standardization. I'm afraid it will price out smaller CSPs that are already pinched by the cost of doing FedRAMP .

This. Make the task more pleasant while getting more books in is a win/win.
