  • Xiii shooter (original on PS2, not the remake)

    Metal Gear Solid 1, 3, and 4. 2 is okay but it’s the black sheep. 5 is a good game but doesn’t fit the series great imo. We don’t talk about Survive. Revengence is okay.

    Maneater. Basically a remake of the old Jaws game from PS2 era gameplay-wise

    FF7 original. If you’re bored with it, try the New Threat mod by SegaChief. Absolutely worth a look.

    If you’re into pokemon rom hacks, Emerald SeaGlass and Crystal Legacy.

    Crash Bandicoot 1-4. Ignore any titles from PS2 era.

    Spyro 1-3. Also ignore any PS2 era titles.

    Castle Crashers

    If you have a non-gamer around that does like movies, give Beyond: 2 Souls and Until Dawn a look.

    Spec Ops: The Line

    Doki Doki Literature Club

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1 + 2

    I’m sure I’ll add more.








  • Yeah same boat here.

    Testosterone got the better of me weight lifting in high school and I fucked up the ligament that holds my left kneecap down.

    I pop and crack like a 70 year old and I’m 29 (been happening since I was 17) and I can’t keep my left knee bent for long periods of time without it aching.

    I’m trying to stay young by playing video games (primarily rocket league) but they don’t feel the same as when I was younger. That was my actual sign.




  • Sys admin here for quite some time.

    This is pretty typical in our field I’ve found, because that’s what it takes to move up in this field.

    Non-CS just believe the “oh you work with computers? So you must know how to hack Facebook” logic, so they have to either say they don’t know how and look stupid, or just rattle off some absolute bonkers shit that uses acronyms and such above the non-CSs head.

    This eventually bleeds into their reality and becomes a character trait.

    It’s more a human/culture problem than a CS problem but I get what you mean :)








  • Hi. System Admin millennial here.

    You would think that’s the case, but in my experience it’s not.

    Millenials were around during a major shift/evolution in general home computer use, so we’re much closer to understanding the “flow” of tech, even if it’s older. Gen-Z tries to think in smartphone or tablet mode.

    Younger Gen-Z are the same as a blue collar boomer: when the company I work for hires a Gen-Z employee, I spend a ton of time with them the first few weeks “fixing” their “broken” machines. Most of the Millenials that are hired can do the general troubleshooting themselves.

    I will agree with the music bit though.
