@Edent I mean my plan was to sit and play games today but if I must. [Enrolls in seminary]

Nerd sniped a Discord full of lifelong gamers by mentioning my 70 year old Dad has decided it’s time to give these new fangled video games a try. Other than Forza Horizon I have no idea where to start. Requirements are that it’s on Game Pass or Apple Arcade, because I’m not stumping up for a whole console so he can decide he doesn’t like it a week later.
Ugh. The internet is dying under the weight of SEO/ad slot optimised content. I just read what felt like about 3,000 words on how to clean climbing shoes which came down to “use warm water soap, don’t machine wash”.
My taxi driver on the proliferation of flags along the route home “oh, I think they’re just trying to send a message to the government”. I don’t think he was ready for me spending the rest of the journey shooting down his straw man arguments. “You can’t call that many people racists”. Just fucking watch me buddy.
What is the phenomenon that causes all TV shows to eventually make a fake documentary set in the world of their TV show? Is it that script writers have a burning desire to tell the story of how hard it is making TV?
@fromjason @catsalad speed running a bubble pop with this one I see.
Just walked into the kitchen to find my washing machine seems to be draining into the cupboard under the sink, which isn’t an ideal setup. Guess I’ve got some plumbing in my future.
Instead of going to bed I set up a PSX emulator on my Steam Deck because someone said that version of Final Fantasy VII is much better than the PC one. It does indeed look prettier thanks to CRT filters, but also my save game has vanished and it crashes when using magic, so not a complete success yet.
I was going to grab my Steam Deck and play a game about an hour ago but it would mean standing up from the sofa so instead I’ve been aimlessly reading the internet, a decision I definitely do not regret.
@ultrazool @jarkman depending on budget I’d maybe be looking at something like fly.io + maybe S3 for that sort of thing. tbh though if AWS & co are out of budget I think any container hosting solutions will be as well once you’ve got the database hosted, you may well find it cheaper to throw it on a cheap VM somewhere even if it doesn’t strictly need one.
