Nope.

I’ll always prefer SML 1.

But I do fondly remember this.

The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.

It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.

Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to

I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.

My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.

Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.

One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.

That critical mass will never come because people don’t feel the data has been stolen from them.

Rather, it’s traded in exchange for whatever online services they use.

And to them it’s a decent trade.

Solution is stop using delivery services.

I never watched x-files when it aired.

I tried to watch it a few years back but only made it to season 2. Maybe it gets better later, but the show was so formulaic that I grew bored of it pretty quick.

A lot of people.

I argue that the feel of BotW is a return to Zelda origins. It’s the most any game has felt like the original Zelda.

There original Zelda game was a game about exploring a giant over world to find it’s secrets. The dungeons weren’t puzzle filled, they were essentially just combat challenges.

… It’s that feeling that you are setting out on a difficult journey of exploration across a giant world with no support.

Every Zelda game since the original has felt smaller in comparison because the role of the over world got shrunk to just a thing to connect dungeons.

My favorite is AlttP which I think has the best balance between dungeons and over world exploration, but I prefer over world to modern dungeons we got in skyward sword and such.

Yes, the early days when games where literally 10 bucks an hour to play.

I miss you, Cyberstrike and Airwarrior.

I’m not giving up mobile deposit.

Leave my house? Duck that.

I’m excited for it for the same reasons.

I don’t have skill in art or coding.

But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.

Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?

Everyone knows about it.

Apparently I’ve been listening to the new Gunship album too much, said I was in the top 1% of Gunship listeners.

This comment is the equivalent of some guy telling you that you’ll be paid in exposure and that the exposure is going to be worth way more than money in the long run, just trust me bro.

Can’t, really. Have several critical Windows only apps.

It’s a chicken and egg situation.

It’s frustrating because I don’t know it, and I don’t learn it because it’s frustrating.

Generally deploying some kind of service.

It’s things like this that prevent me from using Linux more.

I force myself to use it for projects where it’s an option because I feel I need to learn it better but I kind of dread it every time.

Inevitably I’m stuck frustrated reading conflicting guides from years ago and wondering just how badly I’m going to fuck things up this time.

Sometimes it all feels so esoteric.

I’ve gone to playing Project 1999, an OG EverQuest emulator server.

It’s only up to velious and it’s as close to how the game was back then as you can get.

I don’t recommend it to people who never played EQ back in the day - games have changed far too much for this ancient game to be fun for most people who don’t have nostalgia for that era of gaming.

But sounds like you might, so I thought I’d suggest it to you.
