Back in the day Supreme Commander could utilize a second monitor for a dedicated map that you could zoom in and out of independently of the main game window. I don’t remember if you could do other things with it, but I thought it was pretty sweet with just that.

Kind of disagree. The design is actually really simple and cleverly looks like just a fin when small enough

Social skills, as the name implies, are meant to be trained, maintained, and expanded over a lifetime so don’t discount yourself because you feel like you’re too old or have tried and failed for too long. Have you considered seeking behavioral therapy? Perhaps you’re not picking up on the myriad non-verbal social cues that could help you better inform your conversations. Behavioral therapy can help identify where you’re lacking and give you the opportunity to practice skills and receive feedback from a professional.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

You don’t need to give explicit details of your coworkers’ lives, but from your writing it really seemed to me that you were more interested in mechanically optimizing conversation. This isn’t necessarily a bad perspective, but people already do that organically by understanding each other more and learning their history. The route of good conversation follows logically from there through empathy.

You’re descriptions kind of make your coworkers like NPCs. If you want to have better conversations you should probably get to know them better as people. That can allow you to understand the why of their particulars and eventually guide your conversations more organically.

Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I’m not a VPN user so I’m not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products

As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding

Could you explain this part please? What makes them untrustworthy?

Fantastic, thanks for this. Any reason you didn’t go to 17?

The latest builds broke that for me. It crashes completely when I try.

I’ve been liking Magneto as well, but I hate his sound design. There’s nothing about it that tells you his powers have anything to do with magnetism or controlling metal. He sounds like he has generic fantasy psychic powers

It’s true that playing for money is a huge part of playing poker at all, both casually and professionally. Does that mean a game just teaching poker hands should be considered as adult as actual gambling? If so, a game like The Binding of Isaac should get the same 18+ as Balatro since it has actual slot machines that you put money into, but instead it gets a 16+.

Agreed that it’s ridiculous, but there are plenty of other games out there that are less objectionable, like ones that are played almost exclusively by kids.

What exists right now is full of jank, but if you played it or even followed the patch to patch development you could see they’re consistently building foundations for a game that is simultaneously:

• FPS
• MMO
• Fully physicalized
• Physics based
• Open world
• High fidelity
• Fully persistent

Considering how no game like what SC is supposed to be has come out in the time SC has been in development, it must not be that easy of a game to make.

I got into SC in December of last year and have seen their progress and have been to play and participate in all of it while only spending 45 USD on the base package. Nothing else is needed to join since all ships eventually come out in game as buyable for in game money and I bought nearly every ship like that.

CIG certainly sells ships to whales, but to them it’s necessary for their commitment to no publishers or large investors.

It’s been 12 years and no game like what it’s supposed to be has come out so I guess it’s not that easy of a game to make

I don’t like how absent of shit this post is

If the client doesn’t support the codec or resolution of the media then it’ll need transcoding

That sour electric aroma you can smell is the collective anxiety-stench of games journalists trying to decide whether it’s worth sitting through the full investor presentation in the hopes of discovering some proper context for these pitiful morsels - perhaps even a unique angle which none of those other hacks have discovered, the feckless layabouts.

So he’s taking his frustrations out on the reader by padding his article with sympathy-bait? I’ve come to really dislike Rock Paper Shotgun articles lately

I’d like to remember Evolve more fondly than I do, but I just didn’t have as much fun with it as I hoped. My strongest memories are of feeling annoyed at a constantly recharging jetpack

That person that is kind of lacking in social skills, still weirdly opinionated about really specific things, doesn’t care enough about their appearance for how old they are, and several other holdovers from being a nerdy high school shut in, but is very slowly becoming better. They’re trying to understand how to have more flexible conversations with people, figuring out a clothing style that works for them, and just doing some general growing up. They’re still kind of hard to be around, but you can tell they’ve made progress and that’s all you can really ask of them.
