  • I DGAF about your kids.

    Preach!

    One of the craziest wtf moment of my life resulted from an oversharing parent.

    At a hot summer day a few years back someone posted a picture of them barbequing in their backyard to our company’s “off topic” teams chat. Nothing unusual. I was over at a friends place so I send back a picture of us sitting in lawnchairs having a beer. In comes the third colleague, first time father with a roughly 1.5 year old at the time. So he posts a picture of his kid running around in his backyard. Completly naked, full frontanl nudity.

    It took me a minute to recollect and I messaged him to please take down the picture. I know he didn’t mean any harm and was just sharing his hot-summer-weekend expirence … and he did realise his blunder and took it down. But wtf mate?

    After that I immediately googled how to clear my teams’ app image cache …










  • that’s only because we had an organized server that had a list of who was next in line to get HWL

    Honestly, I loved that kind of meta gaming, all the backdoor deals, even across factions. The drama when some group wouldn’t honour the list or agreements (Been on both sides of it).

    I made rank 13, luckily I already had a better weapon from raiding, so I could skip the last one. Good times.


  • 2 of those years were after I finished school and was just living rent free at home and gaming full time. During that time it was easly more then 12h a day. Though, a lot of that was just being logged in and idle while chatting on teamspeak or doing administrative work for the guild (we ran our own webserver out of a friends house for our forum/dkp system, etc). That’s how I learned programming.

    There was also some account sharing, which was literally required to get to the top of the vanialla PvP ranking. Games were built different back then.






  • I feel you. I have close to 30 friends on plex, but only like 5 people use it regularly, another 4 sporadically … and most others either have never watched anything or just like seconds (probably just testing if it worked).

    It’s not the easiest platform to adopt, especially if you just have an account to connect to a friends library and don’t know how to do the inital setup (hiding all the free crap). Most of my regular viewers are family members … and I setup their homescreen for them.
