This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.

The keycaps thing is a huge problem now because of the widespread use of Chromebooks with butterfly switches. 9 times out of 10 if one of those caps is torn off, the switch is permanently damaged and the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.

I had multiple fan failures which brought down my system, so instead I picked up one of these heatsink cases and it’s been running mostly uninterrupted for years.

“Which paint is better: eggshell white or oyster white?”

I enjoyed the basic formula of past Bethesda games and Starfield delivered more of the same plus some cool extras like being able to disable and board/capture spaceships. I don’t understand the sentiment that’s it’s outdated. Modern AAA games are not dramatically different in design to games from 10 years ago in my experience.

It’s a GPO 706, which is a classic British bakelite phone from the '60s. I have it hooked up to a SIP trunk through an OBi 100. Right now it can receive calls but not make them because I haven’t gotten around to sorting out a pulse-to-tone dialing converter yet.

That’s right.

I’ve run a TR-004 for the last 5 years haven’t had any reliability issues so far. In hardware raid modes, drives are hot swappable but you can’t grow the array without wiping it. I’m JBOD mode you need to power off before swapping drives. The main problem I’ve had is their chipset is only partially supported by smartmontools due to proprietary crap so there is some strange behaviour there.

I do think the sleaze is an integral side to Frank’s character that should stay or he would be a lot less interesting. I don’t think anything in the article actually demonstrates that they are changing his character despite the headline. If I recall correctly, Off the Record also included the mechanic even though Frank was not the protagonist so perhaps it was never meant to reflect on his character and was just there to reward the player for being kind of gross.

This is nothing new. I was taught about analysing bias etc in news sources during “citizenship” classes 20+ years ago. Before that, it was called PSHE if I remember correctly.
