Don’t talk shit. One does not hear of Abraxas by accident.

How do we define edge case? Incarceration is a fact of life, and in the US we have somewhere around one in a hundred Americans jailed. It’s not an insubstantial sum of people, and like military deployments, is something that should be accounted for when looking at scenarios where someone might be away from their computer for a sum of time.
if you haven’t even accessed anything in an account in several years, why have it?
Email is a bit different to me than like cloud storage, because so much gets tied there – social media, banking, etc., that I don’t like the idea of gambling with it unless I’m sure an account is a throwaway. People incarcerated, hospitalized or dead may not be able to regularly access their email, yet the information inside may be vital to them and their family.
Ghoulish, but as I mentioned earlier, now I have to remind people to be sure to log into their dead relative’s email accounts to preserve information.
Someone in jail for a two year stint that ends in December may be emerging to find the email they had for twenty years, which may be the key to most of their other accounts, is gone, which could be hugely impactful.
In my personal life, I do now have the unfortunate task of reminding people to log into dead relative’s email accounts so they can preserve some shit they need, which kind of sucks.
Yep – I love that franchise for that reason! Instead of sprawling, they’re just dense and full of life. I still got lost even after playing five of those games in the same neighborhood but like, I wish more people looked at that density vs sprawl
They usually have two cities!
I call them “man on horse” simulators. I think open worlds have generally gotten a bit bigger than they need to be – I remember feeling like FFXV was actually very empty, despite being massive, and while Skyrim is beloved, so much of current replay has been slogging through massive amounts of nothing. I tend to wish open world games were somewhat smaller but denser, with more variety instead of huge, empty terrains of sort of bad-feeling, filler quests between the good ones.
Is this like when they let AOL onto Usenet
I don’t think there’s an age cut off, I just think you got into the hobby when it was niche and your peers didn’t. I’m an NES-generation video game player and I don’t really know anyone my age who doesn’t at least have a gamer in their household. On the other end, I don’t know a single person who has a cable subscription.
Blackout curtains, melatonin, whatever you can to control your sleep and block out noise and light are a must. The ice cream man can be your enemy. Stock up on emergency 5 hour energies, I like to have soylent in reserve too because sometimes food and shit won’t be available.
I won’t lie, night shift strained many of my relationships. It took quite a bit from me. But it can give back too. Things like audiobooks and videogames replaced drinking at bars with friends. Have solo hobbies prepared.
There’s a temptation to become diurnal on weekends that will work against you.
Also, you have to be firm about your schedule with people. They don’t consider night shifts in their plans, so you want to make sure you let people know often what can or can’t work with your sleep cycle.
