i mean that the pendulum is swinging, not that the demo crew is done with their job.

when you were daily-ing it, was that old pentium trying to push multiple monitors as well, or were you an alt-tab gamer?

also stock>hydra handbrake upgrade changes the keybind button from toggle to hold. its FULL of tiny details like that.
sorry for the lack of details and no links, i took a short break from work and just had to mouth off my favorite arcade racer of the decade. ill be happy to talk about it further later and/or edit some links in when im at the keyboard.

im also worried about who its sold to, since phone numbers are pretty personal to me, and i get enough spam already. ive had my current number for about four years now, and never once have i answered or called back an unknown number and yet still mine is floating around on call list and being rung even through the spam filter.
i hope that answers, if not, i guess id give it out for things like signing up my home for internet service, my auto mechanic etc. but not for a game, online service or app.
i just dont equate sharing my personal information to being secure. gotta be another way.

it just feels detrimental to me, like my accounts are being held hostage by my phone company.

ill also mention Mad Max since im going for a 100% replay and they built the damn thing like a ubisoft title. so many checkboxes.

ive grown to call pick-up-put-down skill-based games 'desk toy' games. my two favorites are rocket league and osu. although i stopped playing rocket league a few years ago i still always recommend it for its raw gameplay loop and nearly infinite skill ceiling. you can play 1v1, 2s or 3s. youve likely heard of it, so ill be short. skins, season passes, mixed-bag playerbase.
osu is a decades running free to play rhythm game based on a japanese NDS minigame within a game that has, in my opinion, the least eye fatigue and most satisfying note hitting (circle clicking) around. the circles arent on a highway like guitar hero or dance dance revolution, instead appearing and fading in within a 3:4 area on your screen in the same place theyll be clicked. as much as i love guitar hero, i hate looking away after a song and seeing the walls warp at the speed of the notes pace that i stared at for 2-6 minutes. all that moves in osu is the timing circle that closes in on it and your cursor. you really feel like a metronome with one hand and a well-seasoned ballerina with the other when you get the hang of it and speed things up with complex patterns and timings. the game has nearly 20 years of user submitted beatmaps from every country in the world, with no shortage of content or skill ceiling in site. whether you choose to play solo or multiplayer, i recommend using the osu lazer client, as it has gameplay mechanics that were fixed alongside tons of QoL improvements and active development. only first party purchases are irl merch shipments and (what mostly amounts to) a server supporter tag.
