You say you used to play PZ... I recommend checking out the Week One mod with the new unstable branch of B42. Breathes some life into the world prior to the apocalypse occurring.
Yeah, and for me, 5G is a moot point. I have a decent wifi network at home (get 300-600mbps on 5G wifi), and my workplace has a reasonably okay wifi system too, albeit they firewall a lot of social stuff because work things. Outside of a random road trip for podcasts and maps use, I don't see my needs changing anytime soon. As for the other person on the plan, they are WFH and almost purely utilize wifi anyway.
Yeah, I know recently, they've been trying to move peeps over from these GFed plans to their current Magenta, and that failed spectacularly as fuck (damn that was Oct '23?!). From what I can see, outside of 5G, it's the same, just ~$20 more. Le sigh.
Mostly anything I play in VR. I have a basic sim rig I use for Euro Truck 2 and American Truck Simulators, and some DiRT Rally 2 ever so often. Outside of upgrading to a rig with hydraulics and a buttkicker, it's pretty immersive. For non-vehicular VR, I'm running around in Skyrim with a hefty modlist (1100 mods), and just the baseline mods like HIGGS, PLANCK, and the Community Shaders set of mods adds a huge amount of immersion with the ability to directly interact in the world.
Flat screen gaming, otoh, I would say Project Zomboid. Despite its simple appearance, the amount of mods available really amp up "realism", in that you can add so much living to the world. The lifestyle mod alone adds a bunch of Sims-like layers to the gameplay.
Had to cut out both my parents and sibling due to their homophobic remarks and my coming to terms with being gay. The politics just furthered the gap, and the last time I spoke with them in early 2023, "It's all about that woke generation" came out of my dad's mouth and that was the end. I don't expect to hear about their passing, and I'm not sure I'll care, despite them seemingly raising me to be a decent person. These are two humans who canvassed for Obama in '08 & '12, so it was sad to see them devolve.
Over the pond here in PA, here's our little void cat, Sweetie, AKA Sweets Petites from the Streets. She is a rescue from street life and shitty neighbors.
I like your answer more than what I was gonna type up :P
Up until a couple days ago, I was using uBO & PrivacyBadger in tandem. Maybe I'll back to that, as I sit closer to your viewpoint vs giving ads any revenue stream. It's kinda in the same realm as why I'd buy a game using CDKeys vs pirating/torrenting. It's a morally grey area that makes it somewhat redeemable, but the point still stands. In AdNauseum's case, you really can't tell what ads are clicked on and therefore don't know what any revenue stream is going in to which pockets you can inspect the ads it clicks on after the fact, but the money for said clicks still go somewhere, even if it's in the fraction of a fraction of a cent.
Heh, I may just switch back. Thanks?... Yeah, thanks!
I've just started using AdNauseum, which I think builds off of uBlock Origin, but also silently clicks and hides ads instead of just the latter. So far it seems to work pretty well, although I did have to set some sites to strict blocking.
