I bought one of those Nickelodeon slime looking things that'll go in-between the keys to get stuff out and use disinfectant wipes on the keys themselves. Definitely helps as I have multiple cats and a dog (and kiddos though I don't really let them get near my stuff + they love their phones/Ipads more anyways). I need one of these, my keyboard is proper goon filthy and I hate it.

Probably no more than $10; bright green color. Shadow edit: $6 -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GW9TJ3G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I actually need to buy another one as I lost my last one. I'd also recommend not letting it sit out on your desk if it gets sunlight (I know this is doubtful in the context of this site's population, but just in case); I felt like it got a bit too gooey/less firm which makes it harder to pull away from your keyboard in one piece.

I use some "screen mom" stuff (also found on Amazon) that might be "green", but it definitely does good work cleaning monitor screens. Edit: Having to throw away working mice/keyboards - multiple times over my stint in Med Group IT - because some retired CPO had months/years of goop on them (let's not talk about his coffee cup) and were impossible to clean made me more conscious of my own equipment. Edit 2: VVVVVVV Yeah, that stuff works too. BadOptics fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Hyrax Attack! posted:Picked up Prey & it’s a lot of fun, I like sci-fi adventures and there is a lot to explore and combat is creepy. I think I like it more than Dishonored (from the same developer) as I don’t have patience for getting good at stealth. I had the same experience. Dishonored never really clicked for me but I got Prey on a whim a few days ago and I'm really digging it so far. Feels a bit like Deus Ex merged with System Shock, not going to complain about that.

I’m stuck in dyson sphere program again  Early game kills me a lot, pre-PLS/ILS. I’ve been trying to play with blueprints and smooth it out a bit, but that bogged me down even more. Ended up abandoning my starting planet because there was too much to delete and I wasn’t feeling patient enough to do it. I’m setting up a whole complex that should provide most of what I need to get to another star system, it’ll be a square thing with ILS at the corners that supply smelters running to a central ILS. I figure setting up individual-item manufacturing with a dedicated line and ILS is probably more efficient, but I wanted something mid-game-ish that I can do before I start mass-producing ILS/vessels/whatever. I think most of my fun in this game is in the blueprint design anyways, and every update that adds buildings drags me back in. The little logistics bots added recently are fun, and probably have a place in the layout I’m building…but I’m not in the mood to play with it too much more right now.

My DSP factory complex? I made it work  10,674 facilities later, but I made it work. This complex spans ~20% of the planet I put it on (fitting neatly between my piles of equatorial solar panels, each at 90° east/west and 0/180°), and makes almost everything up to ILS. Keeping it fed with raw iron ore was a challenge at first, but now that I’ve got miners on almost every iron source in my home system, it’s satiated

Lol oh yeah, I like how after solving a puzzle I realize there were two other methods that would have worked, very good Deus Ex vibes. Also enjoy that after establishing the rules for how mimics work I still get hit sometimes when I forget to scan a suspiciously well placed med pack, and it doesn’t feel cheap.

The last Rimworld DLC is the best of the three by a large margin, I'm pretty happy with it. I did Save Our Ship's archeotech spore ending last time. Might do the "recycle your colony three times" ending but I really hate giving up so many colonists each time. The base and research and wealth are whatever but I feel like I lose all the history if I do that one.

I think I just somehow fail forward until there’s mysteriously a Dyson Sphere up, and I never know exactly how I got there. My early game is a mess, my mid-game struggles, then suddenly I’m interstellar and have so many resources at my disposal that efficiency is genuinely unimportant

One more Prey post, the game has some excellent atmospheric set pieces. Got to a part where there was a creepy telepathic blob monster circling over an empty swimming pool where it had a group of humans mind controlled. Cool scene as it wasn’t a mandatory encounter but helped communicate how weird and powerful the aliens are. Another reason I like the game is while it has plenty of options to be stealthy, use psychic abilities, or manipulate the environment, it allows my default “Detective Crashmore” approach of blasting with a shotgun.

Even more spoilery info You have the choice of basically dropping a recycling charge on him and getting a bunch of exotic material, or release him and he'll give you the keycode to a bunch of guns. It's possible to get it so that Aaron gets out on the shuttle ending

I remember trying to figure out how to do the right thing in that bit but I didn't notice that was him. Kind of like how I didn't figure out who was really voicing Daud in Dishonored. They get some real good cameos in their games. Except for Arx. Arx is a very early 2000's Deus Ex era style voice acting.

Jesus, almost 2 weeks and no talk of gaming. Are we just getting old as balls? I've been playing God of War: Ragnarok since it came out, I THINK I'm about 2/3 of the way through the game but I'm not totally sure. The story and acting are incredible, as is the art and environmental design. The combat is mostly pretty good, definitely satisfying once you start getting more gear and runic abilities. The early game combat is the worst, there's enemies called grims that will gently caress your day up in seconds during the early game. The worlds you explore are amazing to look at it and have interesting side quests that flesh them out. Actually navigating the world is archaic though, you're literally a god and yet you can't get to a chest because of a funny looking bush is blocking your path that you need a special ability to destroy.

Been slowly plugging away at Prey and I think I'm relatively close to the end by now. Haven't been able to play it as much as I've wanted due to work and various life bullshit getting in the way. I'm running a pretty straightforward shooty hacker build with lots of weapons upgrades and some points in stealth. Would be interesting to see what it's like if you go all in on the typhon neuromods, I imagine it plays completely differently.
