The Ruin scream is solid for sure. My opinion is likely colored to some extent by nostalgia, but while the Ruin scream absolutely makes me want to get down, the Angel of Death scream makes me yearn for the pit. Just really hypes me up every time. I’ve never missed an Angel of Death pit at a Slayer show that I’ve attended.

Yes, they do fucking rule, and that opening scream is killer.

Infamous. Butcher.

said the liar!

Bouncing around between two for the most part.

I’m mostly playing Guild Wars 2, enjoying saving the world from demonic invasion in what has so far been a pretty great expansion IMO and I am a bit of a hoor for some of the new cosmetics.

When I need a break from the rough grind, I jump into a super duper rough grind by firing up ol Leaf Blower Revolution. Idle game my ass, I’m clicking more than 5 cookie clicker players combined! There are still leaves everywhere!

you can set the “FROM” address to literally anything.

Hey all, “that guy” chiming in.

You can set the “FROM” address to any string that meets the specifications of the “Address Specification” section of the relevant RFCs (5322 and 6854, maybe others). Which is SUPER FAR from “literally anything”.

I know this seems like some neck-beard bullshit, but we’re here answering the question for someone who clearly has little understanding of email internals. Hyperbole is bad in this context IMO.

An absolute lack of consideration in regards to chat etiquette. Man now that I think about it, it’s chat threads/notification in particular.

People who carry on side conversations in threads. You’re giving everyone else who has participated in the thread the choice of “disable notifications for this thread and risk missing something relevant come back around, or get a notification for every single side message they’re sending”. Especially when someone is chiming in like 4 hours later. “Glad you guys got this sorted out”. Yes, all 12 of us on-call people in this thread needed to get that message direct to our phones at 3a.m. 4 hours after the outage has been resolved. Thanks for that. Very fucking helpful. High value communication.

People who will not use threads. I don’t need a new fucking notification every 20 seconds because you guys are deciding to have a chat about e-bikes. Make a goddamn thread or use a room made for chit chat, we’re all on the same team, we’re all in on-call positions. I’m paid to respond when this thing makes a noise. I am NOT comfortable muting the team channel.

It’s addressed elsewhere in these comments, but +1 to folks who just message you “hi”. Go get stabbed.

On the topic of notification fatigue:

People who will just not finish a thought.

Before hitting their enter button.

So they end up like doing this thing.

Where you get a notification every 15 seconds, because they are just absolutely addicted.

To their enter key I mean.

They are addicted to thier enter key.

their*

Oh.

I guess I could have just edited that message instead of sending the correction with the thing.

Asterisk? Asterisx? I forget what it's called.

LOL.

Anyway, that thing.

Also, when I’m helping you I am 100% going to stop what I am doing every time I get a message and read the message. There’s no way for me to know whether or not you’re messaging me “Oh never mind, I had a typo” or “here is more relevant info to make your work easier”. That message may very well have immediate impact on what I’m doing, and affect the course I take. Of course I’m going to stop what I’m doing to read it. So maybe don’t wait 5 minutes to send me the message “k” after I kindly, thoughtfully provide you with the status update “I think it’s the fizzibob, let me verify in the logs real quick” of my own volition so that you are not only aware of what’s going on, but don’t have any question as to whether or not your question is still being looked at.

At this point my taste buds are even burnt out on good IPAs (for those who accept such a premise as possible).

I’m lucky enough to see some good reds/stouts/etc come through a few times a year, but the ratio of IPA:Not is just ridiculous IMO.

Right now I’m waiting on the new PoE league as well as the GW2 expansion. For now it’s either a MUD, The first Skyrim save I’ve kept long enough to complete the main quest, or Yakuza: Like a dragon.

It really just depends on mood and if anyone else is active on the MUD.

I’m glad to have finally found a Skyrim build I enjoy. I’ve always appreciated the game but never managed to stick with it. This Illusion/Thief/Assassin combo is a great time. Calm + backstab for life.

Yakuza is a delight. It’s a lot like FfXIV in that it’s a pretty fun movie that is sometimes interrupted by RPG game play elements. Loving the humor.

I am far too casual to care to keep a running list of issues and their status. What I can say is:

• The population has stabilized in what I consider a good place
• I haven’t had a crash in a couple of months
• Performance is fine even on high settings
• They’ve changed up how the shops and crafting are organized and it makes way more sense than it initially did
• Crafting feels way more useful and accessible than it initially did

They said they don’t really play Minecraft anymore ;p

On that note I’d recommend Darktide. Why? I dunno, I just like it better than Vermintide.

Minecraft is often a good time and can run well on low end machines.

Text based and RPGs you say? Maybe it’s time to explore some MUDs?

For the King is also a nice chill game with a great system reqs:fun ratio. Currently on sale too.
