Trying out closed altitude yet again.  

Yeah, apartment style dorms are the best. Ours are 4 people in a room, but with separate bedrooms and a common living space. Bit pricier, but well worth the sanity.

​Exactly this. Colleges require dorms for the first year or so for good reason. Get to know as many people as soon as possible. First day or so, introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Everyone's in the same boat as you. Eventually people will stick, and you'll have a group of friends. Even if it's just one person. Rule of thumb, for the first week, do nothing alone. If you're going for food, invite your roomates. If their going out, ask where- they may invite you. Make nice with your roommates. You are literally living next to them for the rest of the year. Although it's awesome that you can now sit on your computer all day and play videogames- don't. (There's plenty of time while everyone's in class or at night. You'll find time.) Go out, find some people to hang out with.    Clubs are also an option, but honestly, I haven't stuck with anyone I met at clubs. They're a nice weekly thing, but tend to stay that way in my experience.

Do you get the steam key now, or is it granted on release?

   

Best TI. Those were some really good games.    NA Doto best doto.

Yes.

​Yep. The 10v10, dendi reveal, Artzy techies. Was fun.   10v10 sounds stupid fun, but the more people in custom games is the important thing.

   

Everyone and their mothers should be pissed at Hires for tribes.

It's Tomb Raiser, not Necrodancer.   Gawd, get it right. ​Yeah that one.

Playing Trove with my roommate, it's pretty fun. The necro(dancer?)mancer is pretty op for the first few levels. Also grabbed neon ninja. Might jump back and farm that one up a bit.

Personal theory is so that a virus can't just turn it off. But it is a bit odd.

More Haloween stuff.     I have waited 2 years to make hats. It feels so wrong, yet so right.

​ ​Totallynotbiasedatall response. ​Not in the slightest...

https://warframe.com/ Just got a beta key for this game from some site, thought I'd try it out. Basically, it's a Third Person Co-op shooter, but with acrobatics and space and stuff. Its actually really satisfying combat, moving from mele to guns to special abilities. It is F2P, but it's in closed beta, so you may need to keep your eyes out for a key. You can run solo, but it seems really fun in Co-Op. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjTq4dTxh1w ^A bit old (game wise), but still gives you a good look at the game. The main thing different is the "sameness," environments seemed more varied to me.

You notice each and every one of those things is a switch to turn it off, right? From an IT/Software standpoint, it makes sense.  1) Non-disableable updates: If everyone has the same version of the software, you can plug security leaks across every device as soon as possible. No "legacy" vulnerabilities. How many times have I had to update a relative's computer for 5 hours of downloading patches?  2) Data collection. Software thrives on data. People are different, and it's not like the software will "magically" know when to set an appointment, or what search results are most relevant. It's a bit invasive, sure, but its necessary for the service it provides. If you don't want the service, then turn the data off. 3) Wifi sense is stupid but useful on rare occasions. 4) Device diagnostics. Oh no! They know what temperature you're CPU was at when the system crashed! And what the OS was doing then! That means they can steal your identity, right? No, it means they can patch a bug in the code. They've been doing this for years, but now they'll have data from every time it happens, instead of the handfull of times someone actually clicks "send report." 5) They included auto correct built into the operating system! The gaul!   If you still really want to go off the grid anyway, there's a way.

That's what happens when your acid takes acid.     Then a line of coke.

It does feel a bit smoother for a lot of things, actually. ED runs at a solid 60. Dota 2 Reborn works well. I'm not seeing an performance decrease.

​Define. PS2 Is the same, I can boot some up to test specifically.

I'm alive! It works spectacularly.  

Alright, setting it to dowload.   Here we goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

Really liking the games so far. Really long,. suspenseful games. Rapiers. New items.  My only problem is the picks are very similar. The heroes are still pretty entertaining so it's not bad.
