Interesting. So does it slow down your speeds any that you can tell?

I keep seeing this posted here and elsewhere. Is there a simple, easy step-by-step explanation for how to build one of these and how to deploy it on your home network?

I’ve got very limited experience with working with Raspberry Pi.

Was waiting for the Cave Johnson comment.

Am probably gonna get a lot of hate for saying this but…

I remember playing Blood Omen and loving it. It was one of the first games I ever finished. I jumped at Soul Reaver when it came out but when I started playing it really took me a while to get into it. The switch up between the play style was part of the issue but I think the other was the ‘two choice’ option at the end of the game in the first. Doom the world or save it.

Obviously Soul Reaver picks up from the stand point that Kain turned evil but it seemed like such a weird twist of a game play.

Anyway, good article. I had wondered what had happened with this series.

Not really a fan, is that Gandalf and Mal in the picture?

Gozer about to be in some serious shit.

This is a game I would love to see a remake of. I mean a total overhaul not just a slap some nicer textures on the models and tweak the lighting type of remake.

It had such a fantastic storyline and awesome characters that pulled you in. Same for Bioshock Infinite.

Thanks! I will check it out.

Ah thank you for the suggestion!

So got a question for you. I have wanted to get in to this - just as a curiosity. Is there an inexpensive set of picks a person can buy to get started with to play around with?

I tried googling and ran across about a hundred different suggestions and Amazon was the usual (no help).

Yeah, I was young and it was my first job out of college (technically I worked thru college but this was my first after graduation) so I was very inexperienced still and also didn’t know what to look for when it came to red flags.

The owner’s wife worked there in a ‘higher up’ position and was the major cause of a lot of conflict at the company. Basically he would give people orders then she would come along and contradict them.

If anyone disagreed with her then she would go to hubby and complain about said person(s) making it impossible to please either because you couldn’t prove her wrong. That designer in particular was just the latest of ‘trophy wife’s wrath’. The place had an insane turnover rate I quickly found out.

At least it was a good learning experience and taught me to ask questions and meet people during the interview process.

Was hired at a company as a designer. Went to the production meeting and sat down beside another designer (introduced myself and we started chatting). In comes everyone else and sits down. We all start chatting and do introductions.

Five minutes into the meeting the company owner comes in, chatting with a salesman. He glances around the room, then his face freezes on me - he then looks at the guy beside me and keeps looking back and forth. He finally motions for me to come outside the conference room. I walk out and he asks me what I was doing there. I tell him ‘remember, you hired me and my start day was today??’

He turned pale and just said ‘oh yeah I forgot’. He let me go back in the room but then I heard him call the guy beside me out.

The guy never came back. Apparently he had intended on firing him and forgot.

Needless to say I didn’t stay long before I found another job. The place was complete chaos.

Both parties - Democrat and Republican - here in the US - are part of the ‘problem’ and need to go. We desperately need a third or multi party system and an end to this bullshit of geriatrics ruling our government and making decisions.

I would make comments about the first line all the time on Reddit and immediately get downvoted to hell because people would start arguing or making comparisons to the old ‘two sides of the same coin’ bit. That’s fine if that’s how you want to see it.

I get it, we all have certain things we fight for that the other party shits on, women’s rights (abortion), equal rights, labor, gun control, taxes, etc.

But both parties still serve their corporate masters and still do their damndest to turn people here in the US against each other using ever scare tactic imaginable and thru the media sources (Fox, CNN).

They just keep playing the Game to turn people against each other and create more decisiveness and more power for them.

Yup. Late post to this, but went shopping with our kids the other day and our daughter picked out several of the high waisted jeans that are popular now. I just chuckled looking at them and pointed out to my wife that she used to wear the exact same thing in high school - late 80s.

Furry posts

Furries everywhere man…

Unfortunately the older I have gotten, I have found that this applies zero to the world of corporate and upper management when dealing with their endless ‘emergencies’ due to fuckups of planning.

Also, throw sales management into that above lot. They tend to be the worst when it comes to any sort of concept of planning or prioritizing or, well, anything.

Edit: edit just to clarify what I meant was shit tends to roll downhill in a major way and you either have to do it or else.
