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.

im just a stupid young adult, but fwiw, i myself would just total it out to insurance for a new one. i actually like my own shitbox enough that if that happened to me id probably just replace it with the same model/year.
e: just reading your other comments where you said insurance likely wouldnt take this route, thats a shame :(

how deep in the degeneracy do you have to be to see those public links, and then /follow them/, and not think that its a honey pot at the same time? i know its near useless to try and assign logic to a decision made emotionally, but the risk vs reward for that kind of thing seems astronomical to me, especially when the links come from bot accounts on the clear net.

if you liked dave the diver you may have a good time with this one as well, not because theyre similar gameplay wise, but more so the vibe and goofiness and just wanting to give the player a good time.
lol well of course theres a difference in sales numbers. one of them have been released for eight years already, and is a flagship console from a 40year long console making king. the other is an online marketplace that copied them because theyve been disappointing consumers.
i mean that the pendulum is swinging, not that the demo crew is done with their job.
