I find peace and beauty in the wilderness of DayZ

DayZ comes to mind. I love the game but it kind of just throws you in and says , “Hey there. Survive.”

Wow. It sounds like you have been hitting it hard. May your work be fruitful and trips to the hardware store minimal.

I have my guest bath torn down to studs. A new cast iron tub went in. I had to replace a few termite-eaten studs from who knows when. The house is 60 years old. I’m working on putting it all back together now. New insulation, then drywall and backer board. Then, moving on to the shower tile. Also, I have to schedule a new stone top for the vanity and get a new sink and faucet. Then, texture and paint all the walls and finally replace all the floor tile in the area. I started a week ago, but it’s all moving quickly. If I can keep up the momentum, maybe I will be finished in a month.

Out of This World and Flashback. Always favorite old school cult classics.

Conan Exiles. I’ve had it in my library for ages but never gave it much thought. I’m having a lot of fun building my fortress and converting the locals to be my thralls.

Kena Bridge of Spirits. I’m so glad I tried this game. It’s quite good. The gameplay is similar to Horizon Zero Dawn and the story line touches the heart. I grabbed it free using PS plus premium.

Wake up, Smell the Ashes

DayZ can be fun. Building up a base and trying to survive together. A bit of a learning curve but a very social game. Especially if you find a good private PVE server.

Exactly this. I work in IT and when looking for an answer I would Google search my question followed by Reddit and normally find a post with the answer I needed. I hope Sysadmin here becomes just as active.

Not new bands but new to me. I managed to be a mild metalhead my whole life yet never listened to Iron Maiden. I started on their music a few months ago. I can’t believe I waited until I was in my forties to pick them up. Amazing guitar work and great vocals.

Half-Life 2. I have so many playthroughs that I lost count. At the time of release, the gameplay and physics were mind-blowing. The atmosphere over time got even better when Valve released bloom lighting. The water and sky were breath taking. I still go back and visit to this day.

I had an unhealthy obsession with Bloodborne. Finished it only twice but had so many fresh starts and then just did Chalice Dungeons for a while. It fulfilled my need for cosmic horror in a way that no other game has ever done.

I played ME1 and ME2 through so many times. The story was fantastic. The cast is rememberable. Tali Zorah will forever be my first video game crush.

The search results are very similar to that of Google and I support a small-time project. Plus running the node I get a small portion of pre token when my node gets hits. I have no plans to really ever cash it out unless the project dies. Just find it fun to see the node getting hits and getting a few dollars here and there.

Presearch. I run a node and get paid for running it. The searches are solid as well.

Taking it way back to the OG Unreal. The game was amazing as well as the music.

Not for daily use but I run 3 Ubuntu servers here hosting various types of services.

Tried searching for 40k nothing pops up. I look almost daily for grimdank, Warhammer and 40k to hopefully pop up a community. Nothing so far. That or jerboa’s search function isn’t the best.

I deleted my 10 year old account and haven’t looked back. It was all useless karma after all.
