15 mins is almost enough... another 10 mins or so and I can add the meat...

Haven't gotten back around to the Ultimate Alliance games yet, but I recently picked up the XMen Legends games that preceed them on the OG Xbox.

Still quite a bit of fun.

I actually found and picked up Midnight Sons when I was looking on the PS store to see if those games had been ported.

I love Midnight Sons. It's very similar in a lot of ways but the gameplay is quite different. I'm told it's like XCom games by the same company, but I've never played that.

Interacting with your team back at base is definitely bigger than in XMen legends, and for some gamers it was too much... a bit of 'friendship simulator' to it to increase team chemistry etc.

The gameplay is card based. I recommend looking up a video if curious. It's not for everyone, but those who love it really love it. Count me as one of them.

One of my wife's favorites.

Last year, she made a hilarious christmas card with 'I still believe' and saxophone guy with Santa flying overhead.

Aaaand now that song is stuck in my head.

Enterprise - 56% critics 79% fans.

Critics must not understand Shran.

In his essay "To Tell a Chemist" (1965), Asimov proposed a simple shibboleth for distinguishing chemists from non-chemists: ask the person to read the word "unionized". Chemists, he noted, will read un-ionized (electrically neutral), while non-chemists will read union-ized (belonging to a trade union).

Breakthrough Starshot project is working towards accelerating a probe close to 20% of C. That's a significant fraction of C in these terms.

Even if we could get to .25 C, that would be 80 years for the probe to get there, and then 20 more for the data to come back.

But yes, that is still VERY close.

Yes, and the idea of spotting a rare fanciful cow while cowatching.

I saw a trailer the other day. It's real.

 

Long overdue, I know, but looking to start at least partially migrating and working with Dual boot, coming from Windows 10 (putting off 11 as much as possible)...

I have limited Linux experience, mostly in college several years back.

I work remotely with Windows software development, including Winforms, Asp.net, .net core, etc. Not sure what I need to best work with these, particularly Winforms. That may not even be possible, I know.

Looking for any general guidance/recommendations.

Long term, I'm interested in migrating as much as possible, outside of whatever I have to keep up for work... starting with dual boot options then moving towards linux as a primary driver. I have an old media server (also win10, not win11 compatable) not really doing much but running plex when I need it... would love to also eventually poke around with Home Assistant or similar, maybe some LLM tinkering etc.

If this isn't a good community for this, I apologize, and please point me to a better one if you know of one.

 

I see him nearly every day. I don't post a lot online, but felt like sharing him today.
