Rocket Surgeon
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.
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)
Look, I love Fallout. I did my best to play 1 and 2. I own em.
I guess I’m doing something wrong. Unplayable. Literally.
While I’m at it … New Vegas is ok. Meh. Fallout 3 was better. :]
Man. I know what they were. I don’t want to review them. Water and my adventurous spirit, aka dumbass kayaker, almost took me out twice. You’re pretty fukin exhausted after fighting for your life. No fun. And then the motorcycles and booze over and over. Right. No, I don’t want to review any of that. Made it through once. Enough.
This is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen on Lemmy. Like, oldskool I need eyebleach disturbing. Gawd. Why.
I think I’m gonna start working now. You’ve disgusted me that much. I’m gonna stop screwing around and go work. Bleh.
Well, the more of youtube we import … the more of youtube we import. Part of the reason we aren’t flooded with crap on the fediverse is that we are too small to matter. And perhaps we are small enough to effectively police our own. So … why would we want to import youtube at all? Bigger is not better.
That’s not really true.
You came off combative with an attitude right from the start.
You got smacked back down repeatedly.
Certainly some of it is because of your opinions, but mostly it was because you’re a jerk.
It’s also really good at making humans dumb. Can you tell us more about that aspect?
That’s a link. They also call them URLs. We learned about them in web class, back in the stone age.
wat
I’ve posted here and had it deleted. So I don’t bother.
The instance I’m a member of had an unused selfhosting comm, and I started using it. Other people did too. Thanks for the shout out.
Damn. It took me 3 paragraphs to say that. Good job.
Ok, I quibble with much of what you just wrote, but your first line contained a lucid point.
In essence, you propose that a federated monetization scheme would direct the bulk of the pie to the participants and not to the big corporate interests.
Now that’s a damned interesting thing to consider.
I think its obvious that it would/will go awry. Any time you get non-profits screwing around with money, somebody figures out how to steal it.
But if even a bit more went to the participants and paid for infrastructure, that would be a positive thing.
But again … non-profits and coops never handle money correctly. Watch this get all the way to the goalpost and then swoop, it all gets handled with GooglePay. Its doomed. DOOM.
Youtube was a lot more fun before it was flooded with professionals out to make a buck on advertising. This thing you seek … it is not good.
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.
