I have a GM vehicle I like. I already don't pay them for OnStar. I'm certainly not going to pay them to replace my phone. And then likely have to pay for cellular access for my car.

Years ago I got the (then) admin account password at work because one of the LAN admins typed with two pointer fingers and I just watched.

What, you don't do the Trump power handshake? Grip hard and pull to knock someone off balance to show how manly you are? How is she supposed to know you're the Alpha in the room?

Well. And maybe the new house doesn't support their bed.

To be fair, you're also describing working with other people.

These days, roguelite tends to mean "A procedural game where you initiate a run that has a start and an end, but then has meta currencies of some kind that you spend in-between runs that affect future runs."

So in Against the Storm you start a run, and you're in a fresh environment that depends upon where in the overworld map you chose to start. This portion of the game play is a city builder like Banished or Timberborn or whatnot. You follow the game loop to instruct units to gather raw resources. Spend those construct buildings and allocate units to generate other resources within those buildings. Deal with events that come up. Have a goal that signifies completion of the run, and a hurry up clock of some kind that forces you to get to an end, and then either succeed or fail. Based on how you did, you have meta currency awarded that you can use to purchase unlocks that can allow for new gameplay options or make you stronger so as to be able to play on a higher difficulty, which results in higher meta currency awards.

Spore had itself a 3 or 5 installs limit before not allowing you to install it anymore.

That sounds like when my wife set out some no-kill mice traps, but then never inspected them.

During the middle of summer.

When it hit 115 F.

She agreed that kill traps would be more humane going forward.

No he didn't really have to keep his head perfectly still and they're supposed to work fine with glasses. Back when he had a very old 4-core machine, he'd get some lag when he turned on the halo effect, cause it did CPU post processing. But that stopped when he got a current machine.

He never really complained about it being finicky or anything.

My brother had a Tobii eye tracker for a couple years. I think it was the 3 model? It worked well enough. He gave it away cause he got a large ultrawide monitor that it couldn't work right with.

He used it in a couple games that supported it that we were playing at the time (Division 2, Vermintide) and also used it when screen sharing doing training activities as it would display a small halo to show where he was looking.
