I love games, but even when I was playing a lot of multiplayer, it was never really a strong competitive thing for me. We hit our stride right after school because we were all spread out across the country, but nobody had too serious of a job or relationship to devote much time to. We would all lobby up, and just use the voice chat to bust chops and generally chat while the game was happening in the background.

Now, most of the people I played with don’t really have games in their life anymore, so they’re all at least 1 console generation behind. I’m married with 2 tiny children. I still play a bit, but it’s not organized, scheduled time… It’s basically whenever I can squeeze in an hour or so (usually either after everybody goes to sleep, or before anybody else wakes up). For this reason, I usually play single-player games, or if I’m playing multiplayer, it’s online with randos.

Now that you mention it I would REALLY like to get some of my friends playing Deep Rock. I’ve had nothing but good times playing with randos, but MAN it would be good to mess around with good friends.

Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the “dial-out” group and it worked like a charm.

I don’t know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

1. Ive never worked in Linux before
2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It’s the first time I’ve ever not hated my printer

Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must’ve somehow preserved my printer settings.

I read the article expecting to find some mitigating circumstances, like maybe he was underage. Turns out he’s 22 and that sentence includes the punishment for other swatting calls, and DDoS attacks against French government sites. This seems like a shockingly lenient sentence, but I have to acknowledge that almost everything seems shockingly lenient when you come from a place with the largest incarcerated population in the world.

3 years of community service and mandatory mental health care will probably help this dude a lot more than locking him up for 5 years with violent criminals.

Ouch, I feel that one.

Thanks! Yeah, I just meant it figuratively. We walked to the church bazaar and she’s been gardening and trimming roses here and at her mom’s. We have an almost 3 year old so even sedentary time is very active.

Nothing is planned because I was almost sure my wife would be in labor by now. So, I guess just more sitting around and waiting.

Username checks out and concerns me.

Quite busy. We were booked up every night all weekend with parties, class reunions, and father’s day shenanigans. Also we’re taking care of a lot of business that needs to be taken care of before our 2nd baby arrives (probably Wednesday). It’s been a weekend!
