I imagine Helldivers would have seen a drop of in active players, but I imagine that was exacerbated by the PSN account requirement.

That was a fairly large PR disaster for Sony.

Thanks for reminding me about this!

We used to use that method for the company I was working for. We would setup laptops in advance and they were in the early process of setting up intune. Since we didn’t have a user account, we’d use your method to continue setup to get to the desktop.

I think we’d then run commands in pwershell to have the machine appear on intune.

It was a good few years ago and it was a very annoying, arduous time. They worked out the kinks eventually and that was no longer required.

Yeah, it’s definitely shifted that way. I just use them both interchangeably.

A little before I started using Reddit, my mate who told me about it said upvoting was used as a means of promoting posts or replies that people may be interested in, not because you like or dislike a post or reply.

I think Facebook has changed that and I will admit I will thumbs up a post/reply because I like it, but I will also upvote posts I think other users may be interested in.

That’s why I feel pressure to add to conversations or content. I’m so used to no one giving a shit.

I also don’t always feel like I have anything worth saying, but I suppose maybe other people could find worth in it.

Do you know the origin of the jean thing? Was it similar to the old photoshop battles but with AI?

I didn’t know this was a thing. I shall check it out, thanks! :)

Agreed! I don’t use it as extensively as I probably could, but it feels clean and simple.

It also feels like you have a voice that people can hear instead of being drowned out. It may not last, but it’s nice.

I’m thankful our HR gave us notice when I was in Desktop Support.

The rare occasion we received short notice from HR or the general exec of our tech division was due to an immediate termination, and that was usually due to people not passing probation, or for egregious behaviour like sending 100s of GB to their personal email after they resigned and we’re in their notice period.

Or we once had a guy who was completely off the rails… we don’t know what happened exactly, but a user called up and he was having a manic episode and was convinced someone hacked his account/phone and was listening to him.

We raised it as a concern and a few weeks (maybe a month or so later) we were asked to terminate his account.

I heard he had stopped taking his meds. Hope he’s alright now… he was a nice fellow usually.

The Finals is a nice arcade-y feeling FPS.

I don’t feel like I’m very good with it either, but I still enjoy it. It’s a strange feeling, lol

I’ve also been meaning to get back into Minecraft…

I have sunk a lot of time i to Baldurs Gate 3 over the last couple of weeks.

Man, what a game.

I think it might be the best RPG I’ve ever played. But I’m struggling to place it amongst others I grew up playing, like Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect, SWKotOR…

I 2nd this. I was playing CS 1.6 around that age. Although lootboxes weren’t a thing back then and you could download and use your own skins from sites like gamebanana and have custom sprays…

Sometimes, I miss the older days. Just with better internet.
