The writers: We are smart.

I’m going through Voyager now and I feel like they do this nonsense more than any of the other Treks thus far.

All 3 Mass Effect games!

I’m down. My Reddit profile even comments on how much I hate their official app.

Regain can be downright traumatic. That said, the fact that I’ve done it once means that you can do it again.

You know what to do (CICO), you have the tools (calorie trackers and exercise), and you can remember that sensation of when the weight started really coming off. When it comes to regain, it’s just a matter of not giving up.

Keep on keeping on!

Mass Effect 1 at #49?? List is utter trash.

And, no, I do not believe that my creation of a “show” made from editing my full ME1 gameplay has biased me at all. 😤

Also, I think that this (and most Best X of All Time lists) would be better served by breaking things down to eras, rather than trying to rank “of All Time”.

The majority of the first 15 entries on this list are PC-only that require some difficulty to acquire let alone get playing well on modern machines. This isn’t a list where a younger gamer could just jump and start playing through the titles, from both the age of the graphics and the mechanics of the older titles to simply getting these games playing through something like Steam or GoG. Even playing Baldur’s Gate through its Xbox remaster has been hard for me because it just takes a completely different gaming strategy to play a game that old.

Breaking this list into like 90 to early 00s, mid-00s to mid-2010s, and mid-2010 to 2020+ would differentiate this list and introduce gamers to more relevant games.

I’ve finished 3 games I think across Civ 4-6. Two were military victories and then one I tried to get one of the social victories, but then kept losing so I just built up my military and took over the world again.

Several thousand hours later, I’m still waiting to finish another. It’ll happen soon; just one more turn…

Run Doom on them?

Before I get on a plane (and when I’m too cheap to pay for the in-air wifi) I’ll download directly from Jellyfin onto my device before getting on the plane. VLC will play just about anything that you’ve got running on Jellyfin from there.

Kindle.

ADHD usually means that I’ll stop mid-word and want to read something else. If I have all my books in one place, I can still sit in my comfy chair and switch, instead of wasting further hours perusing my library and getting lost in memories of acquiring each book.

I’m sorry, but in what world does this not make him a pedophile?

He went to a location to have sex with a 12-year old. There are loads of people in ass-pounding prison right now for those exact acts as pedos.

He’s a pedo and a rapist. This is some asinine Brock Turner level nonsense. The Dutch should be ashamed to have even accepted him back home let alone send him to the Olympics.

Completely agree. I played the beta for about an hour and I liked it, though it is definitely lacking some polish right now.

A few more imaginative maps and ditching some of the more annoying character lines would go a long way to helping me fully “switch” from Overwatch. I also like that they put the lore right there for you, whereas OW makes you go hunt for it.

Oh c’mon! A wedding costing a half billion is just what you do these days!

If you spent less on the avocado toast and bothered to return to the office you could have wedding like, too.

It’s the 138th rule.

Currently, everything is setup on my main desktop which is currently on a battery backup as well as my modem and router since we occasionally have a “blink” in the power which could frack up my entire setup. I’ll move to a proper NAS setup with a mini-PC eventually, but it’s not a priority.

I use Jellyfin as a whole “Netflix” experience, where the library is always expanding and nothing ever leaves the library unless I just get annoyed (looking at you, Netflix ATLA). I’ve got about 20TB of space spread across three drives and backups of everything, so whatever sparks my whimsy to add to the library gets added. Someone quips, “Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica” and I think, “Hm…maybe I should Battlestar Galactica to my Jellyfin?” I add it, and it’s just there whenever I’m ready.

I’ve shared with 8 friends and family so far. They don’t all use it constantly; some forget about it, some watch it all day and night for like 5 days in a row, some ask for something and watch immediately, others ask for stuff and don’t watch ever.

I have to add that Jellyfin has actually been life-changing for me. Prior to Jellyfin, my solution was a cheap laptop attached to each TV in the house that held a fair amount of my total content via smaller external drives, and there was no cohesiveness, so I could never “get into” shows because I’d have to remember where I’d left off, and make sure the files were copied to the relative laptop, or somehow try to stream from the main desktop through Windows Network which didn’t always connect.

Now, have access to every single part of my collection on all three TVs, and share with my friends and family who have given up on paying for 7 different streaming apps, and also I have access to everything when I travel.

I just wish that I was adept in some language so I could actively help with a project I love so much. ☺️

To be fair, it’s not like he purposefully planned for Alexander. He was just sort of thrust upon him and he wasn’t in a position to really adapt well.

This reminds me…I probably should do a full backup of my server sometime soon.

The human hand naturally curves into a circular shape when closed.

Squeezing anything in a hand will naturally form a ball shape. This will occur with anything, but paper is more readily available and crumples easily.

Have you played Dragon Age: Origins? It’s an older title, but sounds like it has everything you want.

And, if your itch can be scratched with something other than dragons, I’d recommend Mass Effect. The very first game in the trilogy is very much an RPG while the second and third games are more story and character focused. Overall, it’s just a good gaming time.
