Oh no, you!
The fact that I work with IT with a niche skill set that is highly sought after in my industry. I was 10 in 1993, and at that point I didn’t even know how to turn on a computer.
What I did use a lot, on the other hand, was my NES. And 10 year old me would probably make a jaw drop induced crater upon seeing the kind of games I can play nowadays. Hell, my brand new laptop is fancy on its own.
I prefer the left road. The right one leads to a perception of being awkward AND stupid.
Ok, any game that I’ve ever seen mentioned by someone online in my almost 30 years on the internet is going to strike most titles and leave only the ones that are really old, obscure, or both. So, here are a few that I like but can’t recall seeing mentioned online other than when specifically looking them up:
Working with a few of them. One moved here around 20 years ago, and one moved here 2 years ago. They’re both doing fine. The rest I don’t know very well.
Don’t bring your politics over here, though.
Axis have some really good ones. Most of them support RTSP, and many have PTZ as a bonus.
Source: I’ve installed a lot of them onboard ships. Axis and Samsung are the ones that handle the environment best.
I’m a simple man, so any ewok will do.
T.J. Birria y Mas in the Sugarland/Stafford/Missouri City area (SW Houston). Fucking best taco in the world. Discovered it last time I was there.
Also, Johnson Space Center. Be sure to reserve a lot of time for it.
Not sure if it’s “best”, but despite my hatred for Microsoft, I actually like azure. I’ve also self-hosted via Hetzner in the past, but not sure if that meets your needs.

I’m not sure if that’s OC or a reference I’m not cultured enough to understand, but I can absolutely imagine a modern OCP advertising jingle like that, showing how down with everyone OCP is and totally not evil in any shape or form. The TV ad of course shows people dancing to it like it’s some coke ad.
Pssst, Amazon already exists…
If we have to go by a fictional one, I think OCP.
Khaaaaaan!
Some men just want to watch the world learn.
Not 100% sure of the ingredients, but yes, it’s creamy. Involves a lot of milk, that’sall I know as I make it from these portioned bags with powder. Topped with a litte bit of bacon.
Blue cheese
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower soup
Green peas
Brocoli
Olives
The main reason why I wanted KSP2 was because of the colony-system. I would love to have a more vanilla experience of building colonies which can build rockets - too many times have I tried it with modded KSP only to see my colony spontaneously disassemble after crashing into terrain upon being within physics range.
Yes-ish. Updated graphics/reskin was the original idea, but this changed to add some long-wanted features. This is where the problem began: The reskin was built on the old KSP source base, which the original developers have admitted was very difficult to work with.
When the development changed focus, the feature scope was simply not realistic with so much legacy code getting in the way.
Worst of all, the devs working on KSP2 were barred from talking to Squad (the original developers) about ANYTHING. No communication about specific parts of the code. No communication about why various approaches to different problems were chosen. Basically due to corporate stupidity that focused on a quick buck through a resin, the developers had to pretty much reinvent the wheel a bunch of times.
I think the initial corporate plan was a reskin-scam. The development plan involved a lot more than that. These goals were simply incompatible, which is why everything was so delayed and buggy.
There were some really passionate and talented devs on the team, but they didn’t get what was needed to build what KSP2 could’ve (and should’ve) been.
ShadowZone made a couple of really good in-depth videos on what went wrong, and this sums it up well: https://youtu.be/NtMA594am4M

I can’t claim that I understand what you’re going through, but I do claim that I understand your reasoning. My dad went through the same around a decade ago.
Seeing him try chemo made me conclude that living means more than surviving. Make sure your family understands this part.
Come to think of it, it’s almost 10 years to the day since he died. I never questioned his choice, and I’m happy that he got to the end on his own terms rather than being pestered by family pressuring him to endure a kind of pain that we could never understand.
EDIT: Just for the record, I’m all in favor of at least trying treatment - It works well for many. If it is truly insufferable, treatment can be aborted.
Scientology is the very definition of pay-to-level-up. Unless you’re famous, then you can stay for free due to the PR. Travolta, Tom Cruise, and many more are sciientologists, and it’s reasonable to believe they are shielded from the darker side of the cult.
