When I played, there absolutely, positively was not a tutorial level. Or even the hint of one. Good to know things have changed!

It’s been years since I played. When I did, the only options (at least that I found) were shove and stomp. I guess it’s improved since then.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Nice! Mine are Blundstone but I’ll look into Doc Martens should I replace them.

What are “proper boots”?

I haven’t found mine easy to slip on and off - possibly due to the various injuries I’ve sustained impacting the ankle - but I agree with the rest.

Thank you for the information! I’ll keep the other brands in mind for this summer.

I don’t know if it’s what the original commenter was referencing, but the combat controls - mostly not shown in your list - were extremely unintuitive last time I played it. Otherwise I enjoyed the game.

Didn’t they do this in Orgazmo?

I only heard of that movie by reading about it in a story I had no business reading at a young age. I just looked it up to check the spelling and learned it was made by the creators of South Park. Neat!

Thank you, friend!

For reference, I’ve been in the Linux administration industry for … Uh, I think nineteen years professionally? It’s expired now, but I was an RHCE back when that was moderately meaningful. I am familiar with the concepts, just had only barely heard of the tool.

I mostly was hoping to make someone laugh with my misconstruement of the classic catchphrase.

Thank you for the explanations though!

I have only recently woken up after thoroughly inadequate sleep. I also didn’t watch any Star Trek until COVID, so it’s not particularly engrained in my cultural awareness.

So when I was thinking of the Borg in response to your post, my mind didn’t go to “resistance is futile” but, instead, “all your base are belong to us.”

That tool sounds pretty cool though! I’ve been very lazily looking for a good backup solution, so thank you for the name!

Didn’t Meta, then Facebook, open a datacenter somewhere in the Arctic circle and leave it exposed to the environmental cold? Until the planet runs out of cold, an eventuality whose impending rapidity I’d rather not ponder, that seems a viable approach.
