Look up game mechanics and progression to see what style of char you want. 3rd person cover shooter w classes, squad mechanics, and RPG elements.

Avoid story and character spoilers as best you can.

Your save files carry over through the three games which was unique at the time and really ties the games together in a meaningful way.

Oh to play this series blind again, I envy you.

The parts are all good, especially with the remaster, but the sum of its parts is something really unique.

“It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”.

Going to have to go with the three that had the biggest impact on me.

1: Doom / Doom 2. In addition to being two of the most influential and important FPS games of all time, they got me into modding, programming, the internet, 3D graphics, shaping my entire future career path.

2: Kerbal space program. No moment in all of gaming had me leap out of my chair and whoop the way landing in the Mun for the first time did. Now that I understand orbital mechanics, I get annoyed at almost all depictions of space flight in movies.

3: Factorio. Got to this one late, on Switch about 6 months ago. I can’t think of any game which has rewired my brain as much. As a programmer, I come away from each play through with entire new methods of solving problems at work. May be the single most in depth and addictive game I’ve ever played.

I love my work, and at times I work long hours, nights, weekends, to meet specific goals or when there is an emeegency.

That is however the exception, not the rule.

I need my day to day to be smooth, I need my blend of work from home, so that when the high energy bursts do happen, I can handle it.

The idea of working at crisis levels all the time as standard is just insane to me, and suggests bad time management and expecations.

Circumcising a child.

This is the way

The resource I was talking about was you, not the JSON. Pulling your time away to fix it. That has to be coordinate a level above unless both teams have the same management.

If not you may your work impacted by it, as they say, cover your ass.

An extended mini ramp w some features I could build myself.

A pump track that would be any fun and not be totaly dangerous sounds like a massive project.

Can you put an ingest test on your systems?

Throw a flag when the JSON breaks etc and track those metrics.

If they are breaking production services, they sure wouldn’t last long on any of the teams I work with.

This 100% is a management issue, both their boss, and yours.

If resources are going from one team to another, and they have separate management, that damn well better be coordinated through your boss. At the very least C.C. at the start and end of the project.

I’m all for helping out another team, that’s what you do, but sounds more like constantly cleaning up their messes.

As an old and broken skateboarder, I would love nothing more than a pump track within driving distance.

There are some great parks, but nothing with enough flow that I can just carve around to work up a sweat without have to push or climb a ramp to drop in all the time.

Oh I know it has happened, and those type incidents are why the UCMJ now explicitly has the don’t do illegal shit clause.

I was talking here to the 2k or so that deployed recently in LA.

No Marine obeyed an illegal order, and that’s the whole point of this thread.

They were used in a very narrow scope as defined by law, protecting specific government buildings.

It was Trump being a bully and grandstanding, but other than the optics we’re talking about, it was really a lame event.

The vast majority of the 2k Marines did what Marines always do when they don’t have specific orders on a shit deployment, the sat around or caught up on rack time.

Well, let’s see.

It won’t be his moral fiber.

It won’t be China or Russia the only two military powers that have a chance to have any influence on CONUS affairs.

Maybe his desperate desire for public approval as I suspect major ordinance dropped on a US population center isn’t going to poll well, but I’d hate to count on that.

Me? Stop the president from doing literally anything? You vastly over estimate my powers.

If your point is that this mechanism won’t work, then I’m assuming your point is that nothing can stop Trump.

Doesn’t mean my answer was wrong or clueless, only that the means to stop him has failed.

If you think something else is stopping him, I’d be very curious what that might be.

Remind me again how many Marines opened fire on civilians.

The chain of command goes from the secretary of defense all the way down to the most junior enlisted personnel.

You seem to assume I meant the joint chiefs or some small hand full of senior commanders.

Generals don’t pull the trigger, and as someone else pointed out, the logistics involved with bombing a city includes hundreds of service members.

Not sure where you get off calling me clueless as my initial response exactly answers the original question.

If not for honorable service members respecting their oaths and the UCMJ, there is literally nothing stopping Trump from bombing Chicago or LA.

He is commander in chief of the US military.

The US military stresses disobeying illegal orders.

So the simple answer is the US military chain of command respecting their oath to the constitution over loyalty to Trump.

And yet I’ll still go out and vote against Trump instead of staying home in november.

Certianly a decent motorcycle.
