If you want to be task-oriented and not just fuck around, do some continuing education. Depending on the field, there might even be some free options. You stay current, and you have something to show your employer if you get pressed about what you did during downtime.
Oooor you can catch up on some reading or games and enjoy the downtime.
Not all inclusive, just a list of games I’ve personally enjoyed for both story and gameplay. All of these are story-heavy though:
Hi, here on a Lemmy account! This post showed in my All feed, so it looks like k.bin and Lemmy are starting to federate more (which I think is great).
I think at this point, even were k.bin signups to be closed, defederation is going to be one of the few ways to avoid bad actors spilling from somewhere. I hope that doesn’t happen, but if cultures from Lemmy and k.bin end up different, maybe a way to silo what you see to only your service can be found.
Here’s the full archived article instead of a screenshot of a headline:
What do you mean by mask-off moment? The article was criticizing the western influence in Chinese population control measures. Are you only going off the article title?
The ‘spoiler’ filter tag is a nice alternative to NSFW…when it works.
Unfortunately, Reddit doesn’t always apply the thumbnail blur, which led to The Mandalorian being spoiled for me. :-(
The NSFW filter is going to suck. Not because of porn, I don’t care about being able to access that on Reddit, but because of the NSFW tag culture. For example, in some miniature painting hobby subs, people will mark anything with blood painted on as NSFW. Hell, over the past 3 years I’ve seen more and more text posts get a NSFW tag for swearing.
As much as I want to support Relay after using it for so many years, it would suck not knowing what pseudo-NSFW content is being hidden from me.
Dead Space is fantastic. I never played the original, so I’m glad this remake knocked it out of the park. It’s more action oriented like Resident Evil 4, but still atmospheric enough with headphones or a good sound system.
RE7, on the other hand, gets my blood pumping the way Amnesia did when I (tried) to play.
I was a huge fan of Wizardy 8 when it released. Being able to type questions and responses to NPCs in a 3D RPG was mind blowing to teenage me. The older Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall can be fun for a while as well.
The isometric games from Black Isle Studios were also top notch 90s/2000s RPGs. Baldur’s Gate (I & II), Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment are all fantastic. Planescape is less combat focused than the others.
I’m using jerboa right now and NSFW is blurred for me when viewing all. Could what instance you’re on impact that?
Edit: Although I will say, the blur isn’t strong. You know exactly what you’re getting before clicking.
You have my bow.
It’s a still from a video. That would be amazing (impossible?) quality for a early 00’s phone, it was probably done on a camcorder. Here’s a YT upload from 2007, not sure when the actual show aired.
