Gran Turismo 4
Dirt Rally 2 Forza Horizons 4

And the godking itself, Burnout 4 Revenge and its understudy Burnout 3.

Bonus point to Extreme-G and G2.

I’m also going to mention Generally. It was a tiny game with a small dedicated community but gods damn if it wasn’t just super fun to make maps and play community created events/maps/contests.

According to this Blu-ray has some of the worst expected shelf life, with the exception of BD-RE.

Had no idea they had mod kits! Definitely gonna grab this and the N64 kit.

Markiplier?

Well, I feel a bit better getting my 7900 XTX then even if the price was a bit of a gut punch. It’s been a rock solid replacement of my 3090 for gaming and general Linux performance and stability. Guess I’ll be sticking with this for a few years till AMD decides to compete on high end again.

I think you mean “they jumped the shark cards”.

It’s not like they care anyways, it’s all just a live service now because they’re raking in the cash. I’ve resigned to probably not being able to play this series again at this point.

We don’t really know the effects of accelerated or slowed day/night cycle on humans in the large scale. Given the adaptive nature of humans / most biology on Earth, it’s not unreasonable to think that different planet’s cycle (from birth) might affect those humans in a profound way.

It’s fun and interesting all the experimentation that went on back then. As someone deaf in one ear… it’s hard to truly appreciate, but I get it.

Sweet. Keep going.

Which is extremely ironic because Fall Guys has the epic overlay that includes perfectly fine and working friends connection with any platform, including switch, PlayStation, epic launcher, and steam friends list. We play weekly. Why doesn’t every EGS game do this?

Edit: That is to say, a game launched via steam and on consoles works just fine without EGL.

Recommend making an image of it as disc rot and degradation will be a thing. DVD shelf life is pretty wide at 30-100 years.

How does one find a good financial advisor? How do you spot flakes or bad ones?

Actually, I just checked my voice assistant, it got CZM from “see-zed-em” just fine. American English settings on my phone with a PNW grey accent. In fact, saying “see-zee-em” failed more for me, thinking I said CCM or Cesium multiple times.

The thing to keep in mind if you go the peroxide/retrobrite route is that it makes the plastic physically more brittle and weaker in order to obtain the original coloring and the shell will yellow again at an accelerated rate unless you also coat it in something UV protective which will likely end up looking shiny or slightly off. I say just keep it as is and enjoy playing it while it still works.

Even funnier, in the office Pam says “Luke, this is your father. Come set the table for dinner.” in Michael’s Birthday episode from season 2. Obviously she’s not directly trying to quote the movie, but it’s clear the line was made up using the misquoted line you used as an example!

This was last year during the first IFT.

“Dude this is a Wendy’s restaurant”

Looks like a title screen background for ocarina of time!

Fun tidbit, DuckDuckGo has a bang for it, I use it all the time.

!a2 <program name you want to replace>

A2 has been changing a lot over the years. I have found it’s UX to be going in the wrong direction and it feels like it’s on a path towards too much ad monetization and spoiled trust. For now it seems fine still but it does list alternatives to itself which could use some love and support along the way as A2 grows.

Talk about your interests. Show a passion for your hobbies outside of work/the industry. Relate those passions to your goals within the industry. Generally just be interested and they’ll find you interesting. You got this!

Update edit: Congrats on the offer!
