The office is 3 day a week onsite, w Mon and Fri remote.

I have to be on site Tue - Thur to support the users.

I go in most Mon and Fri because it’s the only time I know I have physical access to the systems.

My support work is largely “remote”, in that I can manage my systems 99% of the time better from my office than in the room, and I really like my setup.

Aside from physically rebooting hardware that’s too frozen to reboot remotely, or replacing defective hardware, I can work 100% from anywhere I have internet.

Thing is, I love the company I work for, the end users and various IT and facilities staff that support my work are all great people.

The only close friends I have all moved far away decades ago, so the “water cooler” is the only real social interaction I get.

I do spend a ridiculous amount to live 15 minutes from the office so the commute isn’t a concern.

I’ll admit, I’m not deep enough of a lore whore to pick out the retcons.

This is the futherest in the future as far as timeline goes, so watch the show to see who controls the region now and what happened to said faction.

There are a lot of both dark themes and on screen deaths and violence, many of which are pretty graphic.

Fallout as a franchise is well known for some pretty horrific elements, often painted over with bright colors and upbeat music, but horrific all the same.

If Game of Thrones or The Boys were too much for you, then Fallout certianly is.

That said, it is an absolutely brilliant and faithful adaptation of the source material, and as a long time fan of the games, I loved every minute of it.

In a controlled environment, side by side, yes there is a noticable difference.

I work in AV, and have seen the top end stuff for sure. Maybe I’m old and my sight isn’t what it was, but for home use I just don’t care.

With HDR in a dark room w a “properly calibrated” LED I get as good an image as I could want.

If you want the best bang for your buck, in my opinion, you have two options.

One is to go cheap. For personal use I buy Visio displays, and have had nothing but success. I never connect them to the internet, and use my PS4 as my media player.

The other is to buy a commercial grade display. This usually means no media apps at all, but they are designed for 24/7 operation. Look for something advertised as a digital signage display.

As the other poster mentioned, OLED is supposed to have better contrast and black, but I’ve never noticed much of a difference.

I have had a much better time w Skyrim mods than FO4 on the PS4 as far as stability goes.

I only have it on PS4, and yes there are lots of mods in the workshop. There are obviously limitations.

Every few months I try installing various mods to make what I want out of it, darker nights, flashlight mod, weapon and armour changes for a more hard core experience, etc, and end up with 15 or so mods installed.

Start a new hardcore mode, get just about past diamond city, and the game invariably starts crashing.

No idea which one or ones are causing the issue, and in the end I get annoyed and go play something else.

This is all fine and good till it’s a conflict between two specific mods. Damn you FO4 on PS4, why you gotta be like that?

The first time I played it, I did about an hour to get my feet wet, ha ha, but then switched to hardcore mode. It took a long time, but I did finish the game in a single life. Subnautica without a real fear of death just isnt the same.

Playing through again as a vegan, and recording it to make a tips video. If you haven’t played it without catching a fish I highly recommend it. Only thing you miss out on is the air bladder, but not getting distracted all the time chasing fish really changes the way I explore the game.

Another fun challenge is never making a compass or becans, forces you to learn the map.

I still havent played Morrowind, though somewhere along the line I picked up a PC version. One of these days I’ll have a gaming machine.

Haven’t played it on VR, but man that sounds great. My girlfriend is deep into a hardcore play through now and it’s so much fun to watch.

For me it’s the fact that it took me YEARS to git gud. Bought Demons souls before the hype, and had no clue. After a couple trys it went on the shelf. Went on to buy every souls game, cause I knew they were amazing, but never finished one or even got half way.

It was watching walk throughs, speed runs, and various challenge runs on youtube that, along with hours and hours of grinding, got me comfortable with these games.

Playing DS1 with fresh eyes and my current skills and knowledge of the other games would be amazing, as it really has the best world.

Having said all that, my answer is the Mass Effect trilogy.

We just need to compromise, arrays start at 0.5

That was me w baconreader for sure.

Now I have one Lemmy app for when lemmy.world is working, and another for when it isn’t.

Haven’t open baconreader in a while, but haven’t uninstalled it either.

This is only going to get worse with modern games. Always online to servers that won’t exist. Digital only copies you won’t be able to download.

Not only should the firmware be made available, I think if you are taking servers offline you should be required to release the source code.

I can still play my N64 and PS3 games with physical copies, but many on PS4 are basically unplayable without the day one patch at least

Ubisoft has made it clear, “Well, if you want to play Assasins Creed, or Farcry, we expect you to play the new ones”.

Well, in both cases, the new ones are ass and I want to play the old ones, that I paid for.

As others have said on here, once the product is no longer supported, I feel the rights to that software should pass to the community.

I write code for a living, and when I’m done, the client owns that software. I hand over all the source code as part of close out. If they want me to maintain it, fine. If the want to go with someone else, its theirs to do with as they please.

Yeah, I jumped ship without a plan. After a couple days I remembered I had heard about Lemmy in one of the “What are you going to do on July 1st” posts.

Am so happy with the results that I honestly no longer care what happens to reddit, I prefer this.

Smaller? Sure, but it’ll grow. Even if it tops out at current user base I wouldn’t see that as a bad thing.

Man, it’s a damned good thing my posts and comments never add any value to the conversation.

Seriously though, while I haven’t deleted my account yet, in the hope that maybe thing could shift, if/when I do I would like to remove my content.

Is there a known way to remove posts and comments from reddit? I guess they can always just restore from backups. Maybe instead of replacing with “.” or gibberish, making a simple copy pasta to replace them with so it isn’t so obvious.

Another major element is the effectiveness of moderating with the lack of API tools. If that 3% consists largely of moderators and content creators then that is going to have an impact.

The thing that kept me on reddit were the well managed niche subs. I really need to take the time to go through my pages and pages of subscriptions, and either find or start equivalent subs here.

I rarely commented on reddit, and almost never posted. The one sub I created never had a single use. Here though, I feel almost compelled to contribute as it is new and small and I want it to grow.

When the 2nd and 3rd waves of users come looking at Lemmy to see if there is an alternative, I think there should be quality subs and content to get them to stay. It’s on us to provide that.

It was my primary social media site for over 10 years, and only one in probably the past five after ditching Facebook.

All I ever used to access it was baconreader. When the first talk of killing off the API started with the rate hike, I had a sinking feeling this was the end.

Rode it out till the last day, and reflexively kept opening baconreader just to realise again it was offline.

Decided to give Lemmy a try, and while it took a couple days to get it sorted, I have to say, for my daily browsing fix, it’s more than enough.

Yes, reddit is a giant database, and when google searches take me there I’ll view the info, but for everyday use, lurking, posting, and commenting, never again.

Not sure of its bias, user saturation, bot, shills, demographic, or what, but while smaller, the quality and content of the comments here just seems better. It reminds me of the early days on fark or even back on IRC.

It really does piss me off that greed over an IPO ruined something that had been a part of my life for so long.

I am enough of a grumpy old bastard that unless they fix the API and baconreader starts up again, I’m done. The internet is a big weird place, and I’m happy to go see other parts of it.

Same, it took me a minute to understand what I was looking at. If that is what the official r3dd!t app looks like, I’m glad I jumped ship the day baconreader went offline.
