Fuckos need to leave office before 70 go fishing or read a book or something

I'm sorry he's passed and probably left family mourning but this staying in office until the end is not good for anyone

I think he goes to camp

What if it's OG borderlands and there's no battle pass or microtransactions.

Ha, good joke

Greasy Randy isn't exactly known for being not gross prior to the comment either

Handheld Zelda link's awakening for the Gameboy hits me the hardest as it was the first I owned myself bought with my first jobs mowing lawns and delivering papers.

Console, NES contra watching my older brothers get way further than I could at the time & teach me the Konami code

PC xwing, I had a f16 flight stick and my siblings would play splitting weapons/shield/engines distribution to a copilot and the pilot flying and aiming. That mission where you have to fly back and forth protecting the Corvette from imperial attacks from both sides jumping in and out of the area was peak retro space combat gaming.

More libraries for more things, physical and digital. Some traditional libraries have expanded to other media, tools, etc but it's really just scratching the surface on community sharing of reusable resources, mostly limited by funding for staff and space for public libraries.

Access to resources for scientific reproducibility studies. Publish or perish models are based around publishing novel research in for profit journals. Peer reviews generally do not reproduce the study or experiment as they are not paid for that work and can only review the paper on it's merits itself. This leads to bad actors who submit research that can get past review and remain cited for potential years before someone attempts to and fails to reproduce their work, and it's getting worse with for example comp sci research not including publishing code or software projects with their research. If there were a way to fund reproducibility studies you could open a new path for a scientifically trained workforce and improve the quality of available research in general.

And on scientific research for profit peer review journals themselves. They could be replaced by nonprofit organizations relying on more digital spaces like arXive.org or sci-hub to add credential and public review on top of available research, but nothing has been reputable enough to really break past mass adoption in most scientific fields.

If you want examples of what people work on check out the public github repositories, they range from big open source projects with multiple developers, testers, etc to small projects only one person has worked on.

Many languages/build chains will provide template projects these days to give you some baseline to build from instead of an empty directory. Maven archetypes for example in Java or https://start.spring.io/ for spring projects in Java/kotlin/groovy. But that's just to give you some structure and frameworks so you're not starting with a blank canvas.

Different languages will appeal to different practices too, like a compiled language you'll want to leverage debuggers and logging, but an interactive language, or one that offers both compiled and interactive, may have a REPL or command line prompt to work against to try out ideas before saving them in a script or class file.

Lately the most frequent ide/editors I've been using are sublime text, eclipse, and teXworks. I'd like to replace sublime text, maybe go back to emacs or give neovim a try. I'll probably get rid of eclipse once I can replace the ee containers with self contained apps, I used vs code for a bit with java and it was fine but the ee server container integration wasn't great, this was a couple years ago I last tried though.

To have a real need to yell "go go go go!" or "it's gonna blow!"

One universe across, depending on your frame of reference

Some examples of large scale cooperation without authority or hierarchy are Bitcoin users/miners, sci-hub, historic communities in Spain and eastern Europe and French communes, modern autonomous zones in several countries like Mexico and France where law enforcement will not go.

Another idea is that even in a place where authority is centralized under a hierarchy of power, that power only exists temporarily when it is enforced and anarchy rules apply until the power is enforced, i.e. laws of any system only matter when they are exercised. Anywhere considered wilderness or frequently autonomous without law enforcement access would fit this category.
