I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.

Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”

It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.

Ooooh, I feel dumb that I didn’t pick up on this before.

I knew about movies (Top Gun and all) but not other things, for whatever reason.

Mine still worked through college I think! Mine was kind of small but nearly indestructible. Lasted from 1986 to at least 2004.

And I think I just left it by the street or something, still working. I can’t even remember!

Space commanders unite!

I actually had a Zenith Space Command!! Lol

Whoa where’d you get a lightweight one??

I just want to say, I don’t think you’re the village idiot. The fediverse is honestly pretty confusing right now and I would have expected what you used to work too.

This list is so comprehensive, I’ve been looking at it for quite a while and found lots of communities I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for posting it!

Lmao you’re so fixated on sim racing, you responded to it twice in the same post!

We can say that about anything, but lots of us choose not to because it’s more fun. You should try, it’s not hard.

“A flight simulator doesn’t feel like actually flying.” “Reading a book isn’t like actually being there.”

Neat.

You may like BroForce, a run-and-gun game where you unlock different characters as you go. I had a really good time with coop!

This was immensely interesting, thanks for taking the time to put it together!

This is an excellent question and I await the responses to see if anyone used other characters.

Peach was the character I used the most for sure.

I played Alter Aeon a lot in high school a long time ago! It had a lot of depth 25 years ago and it’s only grown since then.

I picked it back up a year ago and played for a bit. It’s still really fun! Highly recommended.

A quote I think about is “a falling knife has no handle.”

I’ve never dropped a knife but I’m hoping if I do I’ll be prepared!
