Absolutely love it. Updated mechanics are solid, you don’t feel like a tank running around. Mercenaries is incredibly fun.

I’ve got no clue if Harris or Biden campaigned ever to ban video games … But let’s say they did. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to have had their opinions change? I know my opinion changes regarding a lot of things as time goes on.

I’ve never heard of that. That’s a cool idea.

I’d love a more active sports area. I comment semi regularly in a few. There is small engagement, but would love even 10-15% more.

I remember enjoying this. I need to re watch it because I can’t remember most of the highlights.

An AI chatbot for a cloud service I use helped me find the right documentation for setting up SSO. It’s not all bad. But the way it’s pushed is bad.

I have a Dell XPS and have had zero issues with it. Does what I need - which is minimal, I admit, but it’s great.

They try, but nowadays you can have your new carrier buy you out!

I agree. However there are some gems. Got one good piece of advice from https://lemmy.world/u/BombOmOm and now I’m on the Linux train (at least on one laptop anyway).

Tolkien was surely influenced by his religion. We know this. How can a writer not be influenced by their belief system and surroundings? All this is true and it’s not allegory. It’s fantasy/faerie.

The best way I’ve heard it explained is that excel is too good at doing too many, but it isn’t the correct tool for many of those things. Since it’s good and accessible, people make it work and then you get this jumbled mess of stuff after time passes.

I do like the control aspect. I also really enjoy how clean it feels compared to windows.

If it works well (and I mean very well), I will consider doing the same on my main machine. The one the family uses. Maybe just set it up so I boot both windows and Linux… Either way. Very happy with the results so far.

Back to this comment to report that I took the dive. I have a second laptop that wasn’t getting used so I wiped it and installed Linux mint. Love it so far and no issues with any of the basics. Took me all of 1 hr to get up and running.

Maybe. I use Settings for quick things like Bluetooth pairing, changing monitor settings, etc. I do use Control Panel a decent amount and would never want it deprecated though.

I thought the trailer was cool. It really piqued my interest. Not sure if it’ll be good, but do like they used some artistic direction from what Jackson had. The towers that carry orcs was right from the Jackson movies.

The story of Helm is rich. I enjoy the world of the rohirram and they’re some of my favorite people in Tolkien’s world.

Dark Souls 1 and it was Chaos Witch Quelaag. I don’t know how many times she killed me, but it has to have been over 20. I got destroyed over and over again.

I work in analytics. I usually enjoy the work. It’s fun showing people insightful things, but it can be a drag when folks don’t listen.

I have as well. I won’t pretend I’m always right - I’ve thought some ideas that worked out incredibly were horrible. Also had the situation you describe happen. It’s okay when you’re working with reasonable people. Show them the slide deck, the email, the analysis, whatever… “Look you didn’t approve this”. "Here is an alternative ". That can work.

Just telling folks “I told you so” isn’t usually a great form of communication.

Internally people probably talked about how there were huge issues. Others probably said those issues are over stated and it’s no big deal. They decided to release it and the press says there are issues. Then, the company decides there are issues. That simple.
