I saw some article mention that there has not been a Half-Life game in ages… completely forgetting about Alyx.
I’m just hoping for some good games moving forward that aren’t trying to milk us for everything we have with slop we don’t want.
Why Half-Life 3 can never be made.
I don’t think I ever watched that show… but I know that soundtrack.
It’s bugging me now because I don’t know where I heard it from, maybe I heard it a few times when it was on the TV as a kid.
My aunt did this in the late 80s and early 90s.
She used to visit the one local burger franchise so much that all the staff knew her and she basically had her own reserved booth. Her husband, 2 kids and her would be there most days a week.
They lived across the country from us, but whenever we stayed with them, we were also at the burger place almost daily.
Dialogue at the top.
Action at the bottom.
Can’t hear anything that is said but then the action makes you scramble for the remote.
Bad mix.
I think you mean CEO and his top HR executive were caught together at a Coldplay concert.
The CEO’s wife has been laying low after this, deactivated some social media and changed her surname back to her maiden name on Facebook I believe.
I don’t know how our IT system was set up, I had no access to poke around.
But I think it was a bit relaxed, we knew some users were downloading movies in certain office locations. Told to stop rather than clamping down.
So I think everyone was just left to deal with the update schedule themselves because there were maybe… 2 or 3 desktops in the entire office. Everyone was on laptops and didn’t leave them running overnight.
At a previous job, I was not doing IT support but another role and I noticed a coworker had a red dot on the Windows Update status bar icon.
Told him I don’t think I have seen that before, normally it is orange.
So he tells me that he is trying to see how long he can keep it going before something happens. I recommended against this, and also I normally recommend against using the desktop to store files. The laptop goes up in flames, so do your files. We have OneDrive for business, I know people hate it, but at least your stuff is… relatively safe. Backed up at least with version history.
A few weeks later I was chatting to someone else who sometimes shared my desk, and somehow I mentioned this encounter. A while later, his manager sitting ahead of us is on a phone call and we hear he is getting upset. He hangs up and turns around, tells us.
Him and one sales guy had spent hours on some proposals, worked out all the values and timings and it’s gone. All that work gone. His laptop rebooted because Windows updates.
He mentions who… it is the same guy. I tell him I was just telling my desk buddy about him and how he intentionally left his laptop running for months to see what Windows Update would do and clearly he did not take my advice about rebooting and using OneDrive.
The rest of the day… this guy did not stop. Every 30 minutes or so he’d just go “All that work, gone. Why?”
We’d be walking to get lunch, talking about other things and again he’d just switch back to that and turn gloomy again.
Zero chance she knew about this though.
When I used to LAN at my friend’s house his sister would try poking around my PC when I went to the kitchen for something, told her Windows and L opened some secret menu, boom, locked her out.
Asked to restart, sees restart and shut down, chooses lock instead.
My father did this.
I was giving him a PC tutorial and I asked him to turn off the PC and he turned off the monitor.
One of my users locked her Windows session and then signed in again, there, I rebooted.
Checks the system uptime… 97 days.
You restarted it, right?
I’ve always got a mug of it out, 500ml stainless steel mug.
I would have assumed he’d want a glass of water to be left out overnight so that the chemicals in them would dissipate.
This coming from a man who likes to swim in known crap infested waters with the family.
Uh, glad I could help?
I run adblockers on all my devices as well as a Pi-Hole.
On my end the site looks clean. Cannot function these days without some form of blocker.
I remember seeing this a while back, so many people swooped in and added dremskiy as a friend to play matches with him.
Nice, his friend’s list is full.
My one used to do the same.
She’d get excited if I was walking in the direction of her bowl and jump up onto the table and wait for me to enter the room.
Then purr while eating but only when I walked right up to her.
I don’t think I had seen a Wes Anderson movie until about 3 years ago when I watched one with friends.
It was ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou’, and my reaction to it prompted a friend of a friend to suggest that maybe I should watch more of his movies.
Now, I am no fan of certain directors or produces and know/recognise their work. I just like a movie because I like the movie.
So I cannot say if this is a good one to start off with or how good it is compared to other works of his.
Edit:
Wait, I lie.
I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel a few years before The Life Aquatic and I enjoyed that one as well.
I didn’t realise that was one of his as well, but I had a hunch and looked it up.
Some of their art seems to have a signature, some not.
Here is their profile: https://bsky.app/profile/falseknees.bsky.social
This is what I got to see, and so do you now.
