Very few times since I switched off reddit, have I had an “opens post and sees my exact thought displayed at the top of comments” moments.

This is one of the those times.

Just got this game called Tunic on PS+, currently the free game of the month. Went in thinking this is pretty cute, wonder how long I will stay engaged with this obviously kid targeted game. Turns out, it is about as in depth with the creepy lore and map memorization as hollow knight. The combat can also be quite difficult, it’s an isolated camera so hard to compare to hollow knight there, more dark souls like but much more limited in enemy depth or player abilities.

Thoroughly enjoying it, good progression of skills and unlocks. It has a very unique way of guiding the player through the game, you find these pages throughout the game that when put together slowly form an old school game guide book. Everything from upgrade guides to area maps have to be found, the weirdest part is 98% of the words are in a fictional language and only very specific words are translated like the name of a boss or area. I’ve reached many areas in the game where I know I need to do something to that alter or rock or whatever and I just give up and wait to find the page that shows a picture of it and try to figure it out from there.

Overall a fun game to figure out, it’s the first I’ve played since Subnautica where I am refusing to look any game guides because I want to figure this out myself.

There was this one game we occasionally played in elementary that had no name, everyone knew what we were doing that day as soon as we walked into the gym, I’ll just call it islands. The gym teacher would split the class in half and put out 6 wrestling mats. Each team started on their own mats and had to traverse to the second and then the third without touching the ground. The mats were spaced about 50 feet apart and we were given a bunch of random objects like pool noodles, a wheeled dolly, a plunger, a few stepping stone rubber pads, and I’m sure some other stuff I’m not remembering.

The objective was to be the first team to get all members on the third island, if anyone touches the ground you had to go back to the first island. It was mainly a team building exercise but my favorite part was to play the pirate. I would take the dolly and plunger and scoot over to the opposing teams side of the gym and taunt them from my ship as you could not physically interfere with the enemy.

Definitely my favorite game, I still have fond memories of that.

Funny though, I have no stand out memories of an activity I hated.

Making me feel lucky my public elementary, middle, and high school all had rock walls. They spanned the whole length of one side of the gym and were around 10 to 15 feet high so you really only climbed laterally, still a lot of fun.

Fuck, I just guessed this on your other post.

Update 1.

Talked to my boss and he said dont worry about my upcoming timesheet because he can fill it out for me but he will not do that indefinitely so a new phone is required. He also told me that I can start using the phone bill stipend, which is 40 bucks a month so that almost covers my bill plus a phone payment plan.

I asked about the Yubikey and he told me that in the next policy change we are going to remove usb access on all of our machines to further comply with security demands, so that would defeat the purpose of the 2FA dongle.

Guess I’m getting a new phone. I looked into the lineageOS route and it seems I would have to factory reset my phone anyway and that is probably my biggest problem with getting a new phone anyway so I won’t be attempting that.

Oh they knew my phone was outdated, and so did I based on a direct email to me but I was not made aware of the consequences for non compliance and therefore could not react accordingly. That’s why I am in the spot I’m at, willing to fold but still looking for alternate routes.

Thanks for the advice,

My takeaway is that I should look into a 2FA dongle and offer it up as an alternative. I mentioned in my post that the main IT guy looked into that and said it would not work on most machines, not sure if someone has any insight on that. My company started building custom machines a few years back for the CAD users and everyone ended up getting one eventually. My PC runs windows 11 and is pretty much a gaming computer from 2020, I9 processor, a 2080 super, and some random motherboard. What reason could there be that my computer would not accept one of these dongles?
