    Do we know if TP2 will eventually come to VR as well? I'm holding out but maybe I shouldn't.

    Check out Rarotonga, Cook Islands. The views of the blue water and white beaches and green trees inland. There's also Aitutaki Island if you want something even more remote.

    When I was a kid, I woke up and saw what id say was a ghost standing at my bedrooms closet door. It resembled a neighbour who had moved away some years earlier. I got up out of bed and went towards it, I could see through it (your typical whitish translucent ghost) so I put my hand through it and the second my brain realized that my hand actually went through it and it was a 'ghost' I freaked out and ran out of my room and woke my parents up and all that. Of course it was all gone by the time I got them to check it out and I've never seen something like that or had a similar experience since. This was probably 30 years ago.

    To this day I don't know what I actually saw and I'm sure there is some legitimate scientific explanation for it, maybe some kind of sleep walking or maybe hallucination. But at least what my brain recalls, I cannot explain what happened.

    The harder a game is, the more complex, the more janky and scufffed it is....the better it is. If I want to break my keyboard after an hour of playing it, it's a very good game.

    Nice, my username here is instantly relevant. I have a bit of a unique history with this game, I haven't played many of the EA iterations but I played many hours in everything before that so a lot of my opinions are formed up from the original up until Tiberian Sun Firestorm.

    A lot of RTS opinions will be mentioned here, but C&C did have some interesting non-RTS options. C&C Renegade for example had what I thought was a unique FPP/TPP perspective of the universe and it was super interesting. Right before splitting off into EA there were heavy rumors around an MMORTS. I'm not saying that either of those two ideas would revive C&C or even be better than a new RTS but the brand itself had so much firepower at one point that I hope it does come back one day.

    On a separate note, Forged Battalion was started up by some of the former Westwood folks and may be worth a look for some of you.

    Fair about the sushi/sashimi. For what it's worth, I missed sandwiches as well, but found legitimate bread alternatives:...

    Does it taste the same as a proper loaf out of the oven? No, but, it does the minimum to keep me convinced that I'm eating a sandwich. But I'm also not a real foody so take my review with a grain of salt.

    It's really crazy to me how ESET doesn't ever fall in under the top 5 discussion for anti-virus tools or security suites. It's so underrated it's criminal. Doesn't crash, isn't bloated, negligible...

    It's really crazy to me how ESET doesn't ever fall in under the top 5 discussion for anti-virus tools or security suites. It's so underrated it's criminal.

    Doesn't crash, isn't bloated, negligible resource usage, and most importantly, it's been useful for me whether it's showing me expired certs for sites or catching malicious url hijacking attempts on sketchier sites.
