Oh hell, mine too back in August. Guess I’ll have to take it out drinking next year.

The Galaxy is on Orion’s Belt.

Yep, one of the best ways I’ve seen it put and will now repeat back very poorly is that you need to treat tolerance as a social contract. Rather than get pulled into an argument about being intolerant to the intolerant making you a hypocrite, it’s more about tolerating those who also subscribe to the same social contract of tolerance.

No you don’t.

Yes they do.

I think another part of it is that gaming as a kid and gaming as an adult are for entirely different purposes a lot of the time. I still game for entertainment, but also as a way to unwind. It’s just relaxing to me and if I can get into a strongly written storyline, the stresses of my day fade away.

But as a kid, I gamed because gaming was flashy and fun and challenging, and then I wanted to talk to my friends about it after I beat yet another game.

Lol I had to look up the year that happened because yeah, my fridge is roughly that old. It was the fridge we got when I was a kid and now I have it at my house. I’m planning on it working until I’m dead.

But get a prenup.

Every time I see a post about Spore, I get sad I never played Dark Spore (despite owning it) before it got shut down.

To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.

I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.

I also have two ring fingers, but they’re on separate hands.

Holy shit, that brought back so many memories.

Ackshully, that’s a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?

They can’t smell it on themselves. You get so used to the smell that it is completely unobserved by them.

That’s great in theory, but you’ll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you’re going to have a bad time.

Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.

Some day I need to actually give this a go beyond what I played originally. I haven’t played this since the alpha days forever ago, and it looked like it had a lot of potential, but I didn’t have the patience. I think I helped fund it through their own site to play the super early build and then got the steam key from that when it released a long time after.

Nice
