Range anxiety is real, but I haven't had too many issues with the time spent at a charger. My car gives me a target charge to get me to the next charger instead of expecting me to charge to full. This pairs well with the charger that only charges at max speed until the battery gets to 60% or so.

If I'm on a long enough trip to need multiple stops, I'm generally more than happy to spend the 15-20 minutes stretching my legs, going to the rest room, and picking up coffee or a snack from the store. That said, if I was taking an emergency long trip and felt like every minute counted, I would take my gas truck.

The first ultra wide gaming experience I had was with Shadow of Mordor. It was like walking onto the set of one of the Peter Jackson movies.

If you can swing it, I recommend the extra step of getting a curved ultra wide. I started with one and ended up swapping it with a bigger flat one for some productivity features and the corners just felt so far away from me that it diluted the gaming experience a bit.

I thought for sure that I wasn't going to be able to use Citrix Workplace with the Cisco WebEx VDI plug-in to connect to work and take meetings, but I loaded up an Ubuntu distro box and it's worked a treat after a reasonable amount of research and fiddling.

Very happy with my Bazzite experience so far.

I let my Prime expire three days ago, yet they still upgraded me last night. I've already downgraded. We'll see if it continues to badger me to upgrade like it has the past couple months.

Always crazy seeing a The Big Hit reference in the wild

Fuck yes, Fight for NY was amazing. I love the idea of a fighting game where you have to end the fight, not just knock the other guy's health bar down to zero so he falls over. So satisfying to put your opponent down with a haymaker or chucking him in front of a subway train

The only one, rather

Peak Road Rash was always timing your kick just right so that they crashed into oncoming traffic

I would add Neil Newbon to the list that really stood out. I thought his acting through the end of Astarion's quest line was the best in the game.

I know people hate the idea of console exclusivity, but without it, that's what really killed the Xbox for me. I've got a gaming PC and a PS5 (not Pro), and I could afford an Xbox Series X if I really wanted to. I simply don't know of any games on the platform that I want and can't get somewhere else.

And that's not coming from a reflexive Microsoft hater. I had an OG Xbox (and loved the old Duke controller), 360, and One S. I just barely played the latter.

I believe the main concern for periodic password changes is that most people won't take the time to generate unique passwords each time. They will typically iterate a password over time, meaning a couple leaked passwords will narrow down guesswork to a trivial number of guesses and remove the benefit of the timed changes.

NIST no longer recommends password expirations except for cases where it is believed that a breach occurred.

And the amount of money I spend on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games will be unchanged this year.
