What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?
  • I had forgotten about this game. It was a fun time. I think there was a Jungle Strike also

    The last memory I have of Desert Strike going to a local video game and card game place (Heebeegeebees in Ogden, Utah before they expanded) with some of my siblings and buying this for some portable system (GBA?) and starting to play.

    I then heard the owner (who was still in the shop back then) say “We can do this the easy way or the hard way”. It had transpired that one of my siblings had tried to steal something. Cops got called, fun times.

    For those curious, the rumor was that the easy way was police and the hard way was him chasing you with a bat

  • Microsoft addresses Windows Recall backlash, promises to fix security issues and make it opt-in
  • Good to know. I know wine can get steam going (assuming you don’t just use the Linux version). How do you get steam to download and install the game if it says it’s the wrong operating system? Sorry if that’s a dumb question

  • Brazil vs Mexico game temporarily stopped at 55’ due to homophobic chants.
  • Per NPR

    When Brazil's goalie Julio Cesar prepared to blast a goal kick during last Tuesday's game against Mexico, fans raised their pitch and, just before the point of contact, took a big collective breath and screamed the Spanish word for male prostitute or whore.

  • Salary range shoot out at high noon
  • Found most of my jobs from LinkedIn recruiters reaching out. For all the good ones, some too low and some really..odd ones. I wish sites like that let you put (for recruiters to see) a minimum salary.

  • One more day
  • For me meds halp me feel in control again. I still get sad, mad, etc, but it feels like they are for valid reasons rather than just ‘because’.

    Could be that now the beast is tamed, he is stressed because of problems the beast helped cause

  • Depressed Husband
  • I’m a 35 year old man who has dealt with various mental health issues for years. Mine are more caused by physiological things, and I understand that you’re husbands seems to be more trauma related, but I hope this helps

    For me what has helped is a change of perspective. When I started dealing with mental health issues about 15 years ago, at first I was hesitant to medication because I didn’t want ‘fake happiness’ or a pill that changed my personality. Some of that comes from not wanting to feel weak.

    What I have come to learn with mental health is the correct treatment does one thing - puts me back in control. My anti depressant doesn’t ’make me happy’ or ‘keep me from getting sad’. What it does do is prevent episodes of depression and lethargy that I can’t control or don’t have a cause.

    My ADHD medication doesn’t take away my odd personality, it just puts me back in control of what I focus on and how.

    What I’m getting at is that mental health treatments can too easily be viewed as a ‘fix a mood’ treatment, which they aren’t. When done right, they help you be more like yourself and put you back in control.

    As a husband and father, I’ve come to realize how my mental disorders (when not handled properly) negatively affect my family. Your husband sounds like a man who values that role as husband. It might help him to know that seeking these treatments will help him be a better husband. I was off my meds for a bout a year and saw the affect on my family, which was the catalyst for me.

    If your cars transmission wasn’t working correctly and you had a hard time switching gears (like depression can be in people) working on it wouldn’t be lazy or your fault or giving up. I. The same vein, working on mental health because your brain is having a hard time shifting is certainly not defeatist.

    Hope this helps and hope you two are able to get through this together

  • Other than AI, what technology are you excited about?
  • Yep. And really just the media and general. Not to mention every company seems to market ai for something.

    It’s cool tech, but it’s covered everywhere, that is why I wanted to hear what other tech people are excited for

  • Other than AI, what technology are you excited about?
  • Hey, Desktop environments can make or break. I remember when GNOME 4 first came out, before any improvements, and there was a lot of unhappiness.

    Will be cool to see a Linux Desktop environment designed by a company like System76

  • Other than AI, what technology are you excited about?

    For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods
