Cool. Now I can finally switch to better/more maintained app than the one I'm currently using.

Decided to replay Prey 2017 after... 8 years? Good lord.

Anyway, going in with New Game+ makes things so much more interesting.

Don't forget about the great bonuses for participating in the community forums, such as classified documents, toxicity, classified documents, and classified documents.

Not For Broadcast, Day 296: The Heatwave.

It starts off with a slight shift in tone from the earlier broadcasts, you feel the tension ramping up, and then you know exactly what's coming, but it's still a fucking gut punch no matter what choice you make.

Honestly, that entire game has so many of these moments, but that's probably the one that's stuck with me most.

(The Lockdown episode also had a lot of "what the fuck is even happening" moments pretty much every time something new happened, so I want to just give that an honorable mention. I often find myself singing "Mr. Bear (What's That Over There?)" for literally no reason whatsoever.)

Used to be my thing, but not really anymore.

Haven't been super interested for a while. Occasionally I'll find one that stands out, but I'm not out here looking for it anymore. I'll take a tightly crafted linear game over that any time.

Usually, if I play open world games now, it's a "point A to point B" situation. I don't explore the entire world unless I'm really taken with it, and even then I'll lose interest after a while. (And if there's no fast travel or some equivalent in-game method to traverse across the map instantly, I very likely won't bother.)

What I do enjoy, though, are kind of "open zone" games.

A lot of immersive sims fall into this category of "wide open levels, separated by narrative chapters". Think Dishonored or Deus Ex.

I like that approach as opposed to "here's everything, go anywhere".

Enjoying my time catching up on comics. Gone through like a decade's worth of Fantastic Four in the last couple of weeks and I've finally reached the beginning Hickman's run.

Awesome, thanks so much for the quick answer!

Very helpful to know, much appreciated!

By that, do you mean I can more or less ignore the UPS in the calculation once it's charged? Just count the PC and monitor?

 

So, I'm trying to calculate the theoretical max wattage of everything plugged into my outlet. (Only have one wall socket in this room and need to carefully manage what's connected.)

I've currently got a 1000VA UPS (which is rated for 600W at full load, which, despite using for three years, I've recently discovered firsthand is already too low) which I use for my PC and monitor.

Since I'm going to need to be upgrading that soon to at least a 1200VA or 1400VA UPS for a new PC build (and probably should before a the new build anyway), I'm curious about how to calculate total usage for everything drawing power.

My question really is, when calculating how much power is being drawn from the wall outlet in addition to the regular stuff (chargers, etc.), do I only calculate the UPS, do I not include the UPS in the calculation, or do I calculate all three (PC PSU, monitor, UPS)?

Obviously, not everything is at full load, so I won't be drawing that much, but this is just a theoretical calculation of potential full load.

I enjoyed BotW, but I knew from the moment I saw the "let's go Lego!" mechanics in TotK that I probably wouldn't enjoy it at all.

Just really don't like building mechanics in games. Or crafting. And the crafting was already pushing it in BotW. This is just amped up to eleven.

Comics... Equally enjoyable as they are frustrating (crossovers and reading orders make things unnecessarily complicated).

Other than that, pain and fatigue. Didn't want this year to be like last year, but it seems many appointments are on the horizon.

Should be.

3.0.0 RC3 is already the version being used in the Trixie (Testing) repo, and there's a little under 30 days now to release the final version before the soft freeze next month.
