    Pen & Paper Role Playing Games

    It's an interesting concept - not sure if I want to play it just yet, but then again, I don't have a ton of free time to try it out. CR did a session zero and a one-shot of it:

    The Enshittification Thread

    Ha, don't got into Azure Cloud then... it's all Hyper-V - one of my clients uses it and you see the Hyper-V boot screen briefly if you catch a boot image. But they don't let you actually log into a console...

    The Enshittification Thread

    Yeah - I work in the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure/End User Compute world, where the two major players are currently Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and VMWare Horizon, and Broadcom(VMWare) wants to drop Horizon and sell it off. Horizon is heavily tied into ESXi, so I don't know if it'd be...

    The Enshittification Thread

    What, you expected Broadcom to not start cutting everything off that wouldn't put massive profit? I've seen lots of people start talking about going to Nutanix, Proxmox, and the like - especially in the enterprise level.

    [Brazelton] Toby Keith dead at 62

    He announced that he had cancer last year two years ago, but kept touring as much as he could. He wasn't my favorite singer but some of the songs he did were good. He more stood out to me with his support of the troops and their families.

    Weird weather

    This morning, I woke up to a real feel of -34 degrees F at almost 8 AM.. Current actual temp is -3 degrees and a real feel of -25 degrees. Get to deal with this through Tuesday and I'm not even in the worst of the cold areas.

    Random Video Game Crap

    I've been watching her too with this Mass Effect play through (she started with ME1) - being active military, she has some interesting insights into how some of the things are similar to the real military. However, it's rough as heck watch as she just breaks down, as it reminded her of the...

    Halloween (2023)

    It was cold, windy, and flurries here, but I had a steady stream of kids for the first hour and a half... They barely made a dent in the candy we put out, but the non-candy stuff we put out went over pretty good. We had squishy eyes, necklaces, bracelets, glow-in-the-dark bats and hands, and...

    More Unity - now they're backtracking - kinda. "We have heard you," Unity wrote. "We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused.

    WiFi Router

    As someone who's running my TP-Link Deco mesh with wired cabling between the two - I would heavily recommend this option if at all possible. Least possible interference in your signal.

    The Undisputed Unified Wrestling Thread

    If (big if) one report is to believed (as it says they had permission from the family), he had caught Covid earlier this year and passed away unexpectedly due to a heart attack... Even if that's not true, 36 is way too young (younger than I am) and he had young kids and was planning on getting...
