You should look into Mork Borg. Very grim and easy for everything to die, oh and the world is ending.

There is an art to it - picking away strategically for maximum feels-good relief. Bonus if you get it off in one piece using tiny scritches over a long period of time.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Meta bought Oculus in 2014 and the Rift S didn’t come out until 2019, so you already have a Meta product. I understand if it’s more of a branding concern, and I love my Rift S as well, but it’s still a Meta headset.

I very much enjoyed this game! It’s not long, but great for a weekend adventure.

Unholy guacamole, and that mouth looks like the pits!

Sweet, I guess after April 16th I’ll see if my friends want to go back to the yard! New Game+ sounds pretty cool.

Thank you for this fun and informative post! I appreciate the process details you’ve included, and can’t wait to try it out!

Getting to experience improved mental health thanks to having a private quiet place you can think and relax? What a weirdo… (That sounds amazing, I’ll take two!)

Mitigate inflation or protect banks from melting down from bond valuations… Looks like we’ll be living with inflation a bit longer.

I don’t use JIRA myself, but after a brief search it looks like you can use the JIRA Python library or pull data directly from the REST api fairly easily. I know there are several libraries and methods to interact with Excel using Python, so I am fairly confident your user case would be doable with some scripting.

The userbase of Python is so large that for almost anything you might want to do it’s likely someone else has already worked out a solution and created a library for it. For everything else, you can make your own solution and share it for the next person with that same problem.

For me, it’s not always frequent but over time I always end up replaying Earthbound (Also called Mother 2) every year or so. I’ve played it on various SNES emulators for PC, switch, DS, and once on a dedicated tablet with a gamepad.

With the setting of a 1990s America/world, it just feels good to load up with a baseball bat and bash some baddies. I love that enemies are seen before you are forced to fight them so you have the opportunity to avoid fights if you want, and the rolling HP gage is a nice twist on turn-based combat.

The humor is silly but doesn’t detract from the narrative, and the world is filled with interesting NPCs to discover and talk to. The game does show its age with some mechanics, and mid-game it can get a little confusing to know where to go, but you can always go buy a hint from the hint guy or stay at a hotel and read the morning paper for clues.

Sometimes I just play the soundtrack while I work, which is great because they nailed most the music. My only complaint is that you lose the ability to enjoy the bicycle tune shortly after you unlock it.

I would argue it’s worth having at least a passing knowledge of how Python works. It is a very simple yet powerful language that is used for a lot of applications.

Personally, I’ve utilized it at work to process data for reports that I would otherwise be doing in spreadsheets by hand. If you learn how to import .csv files, manipulate rows of data, and export back to a new .csv file then you will probably eventually find a use in any office you end up working at.

As a hobby, if you have any interest in AI art or AI large language model projects then knowing some basic python will be a huge help. Most of the open-source projects and their extensions use Python, and there are many times I’ve tried to use a GitHub tool but gotten an error. Knowing Python, I am able to track down and fix small issues about 80% of the time, which feels pretty cool.

Finally, even if you don’t get much/any use out of Python, it’s probably worth learning just so you understand how scripts, imported libraries, and basic programming logic works. Just having that baseline understanding will make you look like a rockstar when dealing with a companies proprietary software in many office settings.

I was planning to wait for the “Game of the Year” edition - you know, the one that usually comes with the “playability” patches. Or at least waiting for the community to make a QoL mod.

But hey, if Bethesda manages to ship a comepleted working game… Ha! 😂

It’s no surprise that anyone with enough intelligence to have the clearance to handle this case wouldn’t want anything to do with it. The writing is on the wall (and in the ballroom, in the bathroom, in the poolhouse…)

I imagine there will be many duplicates of several subs over the next while. That means Highlander rules will eventually go into effect!
