Fun #Fallout76 moment: I get to Grafton and the Grafton Monster spawns and I’m level 12 so I prepare to die, suddenly I hear a minigun next to me, a level 51 player in power armor shows up and (greatly) helps me ruin the Monster. 5 stars
my brain: don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT don’t say IT
I played Fallout 76 on PC for a couple hours last night and it was fun. Not too many bugs or glitches, didn’t really get to PVP (don’t really care to, though people tried to engage with me before I was even level 5). Looking forward to the new lore and quests.
so much for pre-loading… the @bethesda launcher decided to download #Fallout76 again when i tried to play it. 48gb on my DSL says it will take 13 more hours at current download speed.
how do i know? i did this, twenty years ago. i made websites for every waking hour of the day. all i did was code. then, my priorities changed and it went back to being a job.
i admire people (in a very specific way) who are passionate about coding and claim that it is all-consuming for them. but i certainly don't set that expectation for all, and i won't rely on them to produce more than others; if their life priorities shift, my project would die.
I just explained CSS (lack of) scope to someone by comparing it to global namespace in Javascript and summed up with "everyone is peeing in the same pool"
the real revitalization of department stores will happen when tech 'disrupts' shopping by entering the brick and mortar space "it's like Amazon except you walk around and see stuff on shelves!"
Also there’s been a lot of controversy and hatership about Dark Mode but I can say after a few hours using it my eyes feel SO MUCH better. If it’s not for you, turn it off and enjoy your day. Why hate.
I decided to clean install Mojave on my personal Mac and while I like this new fresh feeling I’m now starting to have that remorse involved with having to import/setup ALL THE THINGS
it can get better. the only way to know what will happen is to hang on.
put your energy into being more aware. of your feelings, of your environment, of the things around you and within you that influence your mood. realize that what you are experiencing does not define you.
oh one more reply - sorry, Missile Command was a video game from before you were born. it involved having to predict where a projectile was moving and launching countermeasures toward it.
unless, of course, you have the ability to sacrifice your (probably narrowing) 'free' personal time to try and desperately maintain your skills in (the stuff you love) in order to remain relevant
this is the real danger about being pushed in directions you don't really want to go. the forces pushing you are also burning the bridges behind you as you move
