$50k from the FBI?! You gotta be shitting me... If this happened to anyone of us the FBI wouldn't give a single fuck.

As a pixel 6a user I'm excited I'll get a few more years of support and use out of this phone.

Damn 2004 was a banger of a year for video games.

So? Maybe help others find an instance instead of making it sound like some special club that only privileged people can access because they know how to find the right instance.

Would prefer ff6 in this style, imo the greatest final fantasy ever made, moreso than the overrated ff7. FF6 deserves some love, the music, the story, the combat and blitz mechanics, the scale of it all is just so damn impressive for a 2d jrpg.

Why do people always say they switched to SearXNG and then never post the instance they use? Not everyone wants to self host a damn search engine.

So has it been confirmed that Intel cancelled high end battlemage? It seems they're only moving forwards with the SoCs.

HL2 is more than just the gravity gun. The art style, the open levels on the beaches, the facial animations, the improved storytelling from HL1, the antlion army, game was so much more than just an updated half life. Without HL2, portal wouldn't have any legs to stand on, valve took on narbacular drop, hired the team and put them to work on the source engine to make portal. Counter strike source was the defacto mp shooter for years if not decades, hell even the portal 2 goo came from half life 2 ep 3 just like they mention in the documentary. Saying they ignored all other aspects of the game for the gravity gun does half life 2 a disservice to what it accomplished.

HL2 still did more for the industry than probably any other game on the market. Also, Minerva is a must to play, one of the best HL2 mods.

This is why you're seeing news articles from Sam Altman saying that AGI will blow past us without any societal impact. He's trying to lessen the blow of the bubble bursting for AI/ML.

Knee jerk reaction based on OEM feedback for a built in handheld interface for the OEM handhelds like the rog ally. Steam deck clearly caused a disruption in the market that Microsoft simply cannot stop. It'll probably have alps joysticks that drift, they'll slap an over powered AMD apu in it with a shit battery that it'll chew through in an hour like every other handheld PC. Valve hit the sweet spot with the deck, and there's no real reason to upgrade it, sure you have more powerful apu's but battery tech hasn't caught up yet and the only way to counteract it is slap a bigger battery on the device. At that point what's the point of putting a power hungry apu in a handheld?

I'm a 37 year old IT Cloud Engineer, I have a great job, great house, love my family, but recently I lost my dad to cancer after a 16 year battle. My brother likes to say cancer had to cheat to win, it was all because he broke his back and had to be taken off his treatments for to long. Cancer is a fickle bitch...

Prior to losing my dad, I lost my best friend, who apparently dropped dead in his backyard. I don't know the specifics and frankly I don't want to know. Either way, these events effected me, and I started having massive panic attacks and anxiety issues, constantly afraid for my health even though there's nothing wrong with me. It took a few months of therapy to realize I needed medical help.

I was put on antidepressants and everything changed, I was a human again for the first time in like a decade. I was happy, I was successful, but now, idk if I'm just having a midlife crisis, or if maybe I'm just feeling depressed again, but I just feel lost. I've lost one of the few people in my life I've modeled my success after, my father, I lost the other person I could hang out with and empathize with, I have my wife and I love her to death, but my friend had been that person that was just there to hang out and make you feel better, and now they're gone. I'm still struggling to cope and it's just really hard and I need a place to vent.

Anyone have any ideas on how to cope and move on as well as control the anxiety without the need to be medicated?

TL;DR: Lost my dad and my best friend in the course of two years and it's been rough. Now I feel lost and confused constantly. Cloudy brain and I just don't want to be complacent in life and need some advice. Thanks for reading.

Edit: just wanted to say thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I'm going to take the advice I've been given here to heart and try some new things to try and give me some direction. Thank you all again so much for the help, it really made me feel a lot better.

 

OpenMW is an excellent version of Morrowind and arguably probably the best.

 

Not sure if this is allowed but MT seems to be one of the more influential streamers for the game and I find his takes to be pretty accurate.
