| BlazinBlue88 08/13/21 6:20:50 AM #472 | MabusIncarnate posted... Still in a damn slump, tried hard to stay into Dying Light but couldn't. Hades just came out on Game Pass and it's awesome, so hoping it holds my attention. Lot of people talked this game up when it first came out on Switch.Hades is incredible. The gameplay loop is so satisfying which keeps it from feeling too repetitive. Plus with everything to unlock and upgrade, it always feels like you're working towards something each run. I beat the main story but still need to max out everyone's relationships. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 08/12/21 10:42:58 PM #458 | wbloechel posted... lol damn it. It's stored upside down in a cool environment, will that help?Why upside down? Anyway I guess it would not drip on the mother board in that case? Idk either way the clock caps in the OG xbox were cheap and it's been 20 years. They are all leaking at this point. It's a quick enough job to get access to the cap then wiggle it until it snaps off the board. --- |

You'll also need to clean that area of the board with a q-tip and alcohol cause it's a guarantee that cap has started leaking already. --- |

I hear that a lot, i'm probably in the minority but I thought the tower defense RTS segments were a cool spin, not a lot of games change genre like that. Granted it was far from perfect, but I still liked it. I think I wound up getting all the collectibles just because I kept wanting to drive around and listen to the music, awesome soundtrack for sure.Yeah I mean I didn't hate the RTS elements. They weren't bad but they were the weakest part of the game. --- |

Main character is Jack Black, there's all kinds of heavy metal and Ozzy is like your guardian. Loved the game, definitely worth playing.Really good game despite the RTS boss battles. Best fucking soundtrack in any game. I just loved driving around the over world cranking the music. --- |

You have sysadmin, information security, data base admin, all the cloud stuff, etc. Yes a lot of the low level stuff is being off shored or automated out of existence but the skilled jobs are still there and will be for a long time. Who do you think are the people automating the lower jobs out of existence? Lol --- |

| BlazinBlue88 08/04/21 4:49:24 PM #12 | darkprince45 posted... Thats why Im worried but this place has great reviewsMy wife has a saying. Never order something the place doesn't specialize in cause it's never good. You don't order a pizza at a mexican place, you don't order a taco at a seafood place, and you probably shouldn't order curry at a chinese place. Just because it's not the menu doesn't mean you should order it. --- |

I had 4 big beers tonight and it got a me a little buzzed but it makes me sleepy which is perfect since I gotta get up before the sun does. It's crazy how it does that at the start and then you keep drinking and the ignition gets lit and you go RAGHGHHHHH and go ape shit with each and every passing drink.I need a ton of liquor at this point to get sleepy. Finished off the rum and switched to tequila. Just laid down with one of my dogs and hoping for the best. --- |

Edibles really creep up on you. First time I tried a brownie I gave it like 20 mins, then ate another, and at the hour mark a 3rd. 90 minutes in I was part of the furniture. Highest i've ever been on Mary Jane.Yeah I can't handle weed like my wife. All of it knocks me on my ass. Last two times I did it I grabbed my dog and ran into the bathroom to play hide and seek with my wife without her knowing we were playing. She caught us. Other time I felt sick in the middle of a work from home day. Laid in the bed with another of our dogs and he started licking the back of my legs under the blankets. Felt like he was licking the flesh from my legs. Got a text to restart a server so I had to throw myself out of bed onto the floor. Then crawl to the other room cause I couldn't walk to where my laptop was so I could log in and restart the server. --- |

Which is great because I'm gonna hang with a buddy of mine tomorrow and I plan on getting wasted.No you're not safe. It takes about two weeks after your second dose for it to be fully in your system. MabusIncarnate posted... Crazy shit, I had insomnia for so long, went years barely sleeping 4 hours a night if I was lucky. Off the booze for a bit and this past week i've been sleeping like 8 to 10 hours straight, falling asleep right away at night. Cocked over my work schedule a bit so I gotta catch up this weekend before Monday, I slept through a lot of my work time but damn it's nice to wake up reasonably rested.I actually looked this up recently cause I've had sleep issues for years. Alcohol is only a depressant for X amount of hours then it reverses. It's a downer and an upper. So it may help you go to sleep but it'll eventually decide to jump start your ass up before you're ready. --- |

I have to have a database guy, a network guy, support guys, a software services guy, a web developer, a security guy and none of them can do more than one thing?Most IT start in a shallow, jack of all trades role. Then they start specilizing and moving onto better jobs. All the things you mentioned (database, network, security, etc) are deep enough to warrant their own career field. The term IT is extremely broad and doesn't accurately describe the responsibilities that everyone has. --- |

But also 99% of shit I remote into are data center machines, many don't even have UIs. Those that do the wallpaper is usually straight black or the windows default. I don't do office support but from what I've seen walking around the office nobody had a picture that was just baby in diaper.Thankfully I don't do end user support anymore either. Back several years ago when I did, I saw so many random kid and pet pictures. Baby diapers were normal. --- |

I have two in my house and they work great. They come with their own PoE switch/cable. I have one wired into my router and my second one meshed(wirelessly connected) to the first one. You can get a ubiquity router controller thing for them but that's for more advanced monitoring and features. If you just want something to power on and provide internet then they'll work. --- |

I seriously dont know why IT is so lazy, your job isnt that hardCan't tell if this is sarcasm or trying to get a rise outta the IT people itt. Either way, most people think IT just means helpdesk techs. People don't understand that unless you a massive company, there aren't dedicated helpdesk techs. Most IT people have to handle the entire infrastructure of their company. Server uptime, configuring monitoring/alerts, making sure backups are successful, working on upgrade projects the business wants, handling the budget, printers, telephone system, end user computer equipment, etc. Helpdesk is just a small part of the responsibilities required and someone who has project deadlines to hit don't have as much time for helpdesk tickets. Veggeta_MAX posted... TBF, a lot of IT guys are snobs, though. Lots of them act holier than thou just because they hold the keys to the infrastructure kingdom.That true. In my experience those types are slowing being phased out thankfully. They are a chore to deal with even as an IT person. --- |
