Oh man, as if the original wasn't hard enough! 😰 😜

@nickzoic

I remember my mum telling me if I kept slumping at my desk I'd end up with an M365 security posture...

@WiteWulf

Same! I only had a Speccy for about a year and a half, before the C64 stole me away, but loved those classic Ultimate games - this and Sabre Wulf and Knightlore especially.

Also love how this 3D version still uses the OG sound effects. Instant nostalgia. 😎

@OlDirtyGaijin

Damn fine selection! 😎

(I had all of these back in the 80s, but somehow only have the Gurus digitally now. Will have to rectify that.)

@sundogplanets

Baby goats are indeed excellent, but to be fair, gargling raw shit and razorblades at the same time is probably better than SpaceX.

@Quasit

Yep. In my 50s, but still most definitely true.

The one ye olde point of online stability/home still (somehow) for me is a forum I've been on since 2002, which against the odds is still active.

Hopefully the Fediverse will be for life too though.

Turns out my spirit animal is actually a plant.

@xot

Absolutely brilliant doco. Have seen it twice so far (digi version late last year, then again when the BluRay arrived a couple of months ago) and it is so damn llovely, I may watch it again this week.

Can not recommend it highly enough, now that it's available to all. 🦙

Had to re-take a cyber security course about a week ago, and a colleague and I have a competition with all our e-learning modules where we speedrun them as fast as possible, just skip the animations and videos, skim the words, then do the final quiz element using common sense.

Last week's was meant to take 30-40 minutes, I did it in about eleven, and that included taking the final quiz twice over, cos I clicked a wrong answer in my haste, and wanted to get 100%.
