As a general rule, I tend to focus on a title or a series of {books,tv,movies,games,musician,etc}, consume it to death over the course of a handful of weeks/months, then lose interest and never touch it ever again.

I had a big Soulslike phase in the middle of the pandemic. Before that it was Rocket League. I’ve gamed very little these last months in between a million consecutive life events, but the little time I had to play was almost exclusively on Monster Hunter (I just reached Iceborne in MHW).

The one game I had a legitimately problematic relationship with was Counter Strike, as a teen and young adult. Nowadays, I still have the general game sense but the reflexes and skills are long gone, and I don’t have the time to dedicate to getting to a level I’d feel good at.

Oh wow, I completely forgot this game existed.

Tech lead here, but same idea. The chaos and variety is exactly what I love about my job too.

Starting a new tech lead role next week after getting laid off from my job of the last 4 years, so this week (as well as the previous), I’ve been and will keep cramming in as much golf as I can. I played a lot as a kid and teen, stopped around 17yo, then started again last year after a ~15 year hiatus.

Pleasantly surprised to see Mario Golf mentioned ❤️

Even for a billion it’s such a shit deal. Billions of years of doing nothing experiencing the Big Bang and burning alive for centuries on end, to get pennies a year you ultimately will get to spend in the very last fractions of a percent of it all.

I get your point, but if it’s just about semantics, why would they be so defensive about it not being one?

Is it pronounced “eleph pants”?

[-] folkrav@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Ah, yeah, I knew that at one point. I find recursive acronyms so tacky I tend to tune that information out lol.

We wouldn’t need mods if people could be decent. You’re actively working towards being the proof people can’t.

[-] folkrav@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, just what I needed. Yet another place showing notifications I'll never look at.

We were both kind of right, actually. The initial 2013 release was Apache 2.0, they moved to BSD+patents by 2014, then relicensed to MIT in 2017
