Duke Nukem was fun for the time. Like, I was playing Doom II back then.
Doom II was actually a lot better. Other than the stripper scenes, Nukem wasn’t all that unique. Sorta Doom clone with bewbs.

But Nukem made enough of a splash for people to remember it and wonder about a sequel.
And wonder they did. For many years.
These are the original “When it’s done” guys.
They mocked up game footage to get funding and gawd knows why else.

And then they released a shit game. Nobody liked Nukem Forever.
And I play crap like that. I’ve got all the Serious Sam and completed the first three games.
Never bothered with Nukem Forever.

Are you curious? 9front is nerdy as fuk. I totally recommend giving it a whirl.
FYI … 9front is useless. Its a programmer’s toy. An OS enthusiasts challenge.

The site. https://9front.org/

The holy document. The Dash1.
This is the funniest piece of technical documentation I’ve ever read.

How is it different? It’s GUI-native. In order to run something, you use ‘mouse chords’ to draw a terminal window, and then you can run stuff in that window. Last time I used it I started to learn acme, the editing environment, which required more mouse chords. I poked at it for a week or so and moved on.

What a great little site. It reminds me of istheshipstillstuck.com. I’m bookmarking that shit. Thanks, OP!

No. Don’t.

Just Cause 4 sucks.

And you already own Just Cause 3.

… And piss on this bot and its spam.

I think that’s true, but we continually try housing them in residential neighborhoods, and that does not go down well.
If ya ship them all to a facility outside town where they won’t bother anyone, well that looks like some sort of concentration camp, and its probly gonna turn into one for real.
Housing them is an interesting series of challenges that we have not really faced yet.

The whole thing sure sounds reasonable to me.

“Unwilling to engage” is a really nice way to describe these folks. Society has given up on them and they hate it in return. Ask them. They are happy to explain it. They hate the fukin world, and have plentiful reasons for doing so. Really. Spend some time talking to these folks instead of theorizing. They are perfectly clear about the situation and how they feel.

Many (all) of these camps are in the middle of neighborhoods that would rather not host a colony of social dropouts that hate them. You know, the residents are concerned about their kids, etc. So it would be nice if they had some way of dialing down the amount of hate that concentrates at the shelter. Is this the correct way? Beats me, but it looks like they had to do something …

You, the molerats, the crazy girl, and any other fans. Start a craze.

You guys should all party together.

This fish grabbing sounds like quite a useful talent.

The broccoli is an excellent source of fiber. Fiber fills you up. Fiber is how you are supposed to know you are full.
The fiber is washed out of all the processed food. It doesn’t fill you up properly. So you eat more.
Its all chemicals, man. They are feeding us shit that’s designed to make us eat more.
So, eat that broccoli. And some beans. You won’t want the burger if you’ve had a healthy meal.

I own two GL.inet routers. I liked my Flint so much that I bought an Opal for my office and on the road. These machines are well provisioned. The OpenWRT reviews of them say to just leave the stock bootloader installed. I’ve installed all sorts of packages, multiple subnets, VPN, adblock, etc. GL.inet gear is good stuff.

I use sticky notes on my monitor.

You like this deeply branching thing. There are other aspects to gameplay. NV is ugly. I grew up in the southwest and have seen quite enough tumbleweeds. The whole crafting thing was tedious. The game needs fixin, crashes frequently. I gave up when my annoyance level exceeded my entertainment. That was well before your deep branches. NV is meh.

My first attempt to play was only a couple years ago on a modern pc. It didn’t work out. I figured it was just not running correctly. I’d bought them in a bundle, and just figured they were pieces for my collection, not actually games anymore.

You talkin about NV?
Boring. Bland. I played it. Guess I got about a third of the way through. Its not the great game people make it out to be.
Like I said, meh. Although your input is appreciated. Glad you liked it.

Or the first two games? Like, I’m not even sure they are running correctly. It’s old tech. I chalked their being unplayable up to them being literally unplayable.

Oh, you’re fine. It took me 4 1/2 years to get over sobriety and back to normal life.
You’ve wasted much less time.

I say, go with the intrusive thoughts.

How could you not?

Cisco offers a whole lot of free online training as well, on several different websites.
Its kind of a pita to get access in the first place, but its definitely free, comprehensive, and starts from the ground up.
And of course, they have paid training options on those same sites.

Well … How much do you want to learn? How serious are you?

If you want to know networking, the authority is Cisco.
I’m scheduled to take my CCST Network exam tomorrow. That’s an entry-level Cisco cert.
I’ve been studying for about 3 months. Wish me luck …

Junior NetAdmin Cert
The CCST training is online and entirely free.

Access
You’ve got to jump through some hoops. You need to create an account and go through some verification.
They need to figure out if you are ‘overseas’ and whether you should be able to download encryption products.
I think its probably easiest if you use your work email, that’s what they are really looking for.

Cisco U
There’s a shit-ton of free classes at Cisco U as well.
Most of those are not directly cert-related, but a large amount of them were created for people studying for the CCNA, so they are certainly helpful. There’s all sorts of rando training, keep ya real busy. Here’s one I’ve started.

Lab Environments
The whole study program uses Packet Tracer for the labs, which you download from them.
I also got a copy of Cisco Modeling Labs running. That was a bitch, had to shoe-horn an OVA to run on Proxmox.
And I got an older edu copy of the Cloud Services virtual router, if there’s anything these other lab environments can’t handle. (This version can be freely downloaded … csr1000v-universal9.03.12.00.S.154-2.S-std.iso)
