I think modern games in general hold your hand too much. Some small level of hand holding/tutorial is fine, but so many take it way too far. I’ve gotten bored of a lot of games before they actually started because of that.

Destiny 2 was one I wanted to mess around with a little recently, since the game itself was interesting enough to me. Got bored probably nowhere close to the end of the long and boring tutorial section. There are others that I can’t recall the name of, too. Obviously not memorable enough.

At this point - nothing. I’ve been less and less happy with that place lately, and this is just the final push. Hopefully I’ll find a lot of the same things either here, or somewhere else, or just not at all I guess.

I drop by /. once or twice a year… definitely not the same as it used to be. Even remember when they added accounts, I ended up with a sub-400 uid even though it felt like I took a while to bother.

Kinda funny they stil have aim/icq fields on your user info page…

I’m finally reading The Martian by Andy Weir, picked it up on a whim when I brought the kids to the library on Saturday and I’m almost finished it now. I’ve actually had it on my Kindle for a while but never got around to starting it. I’m enjoying it, looking forward to reading his other books soon.

I read mostly on my Kindle, but I prefer (and miss) reading actual books. But most of my reading is done when its dark and not always able to turn on a light.

I haven’t read it yet, but was planning on picking that one up at the library when I return this one. I’ve heard it was good from my friends that have read it.

Google literally didn’t exist when I first was thrust into vim (well, vi) a large number of years ago ;) Pretty sure I eventually gave up and closed the terminal window - dialed directly into the university’s unix server. Can’t remember which version of unix it was, though.

It was probably the default editor for tin, the usenet client I was using. At least pine used pico as its editor which was a bit more friendly.

As long as the ads aren’t too crazy (I haven’t really watched much on Pluto). Sounds cool to be able to just throw on a random episode without having to decide which one. I often enjoy having one playing in the background while doing other things.

I don’t see it on Pluto Canada, though. Oh well.

Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.

Edit: Seems to work good so far, it’s just what I wanted - something minimal and easy for viewing on the instance I’m using. Beats the quick little bookmarklet I made which was only good for specific pages.

I gave it a try with my other Star Trek fan friends when it first came out, never played much though. I still have my cards around here somewhere!
