Congrats on dipping your toes into networking! Don’t let it suck you in too much or you’ll end up with a career change.

Plenty of resources out there to learn from, just pick a project and try to implement it. Or just play around with netcat (just ‘nc’ nowadays).

Look into the TCP/IP stack (or the OSI model, both cover the core concepts) for an overview of how applications talk to each other. This will also help you understand how LocalSend probably works (my guess is broadcasting to your network and seeing what devices are listening on a certain port. Some LAN-enabled games work like this, others aren’t as magical and ask you to provide an address and a port).

HEB. Really big here in Texas. It’s more “premium” than Walmart at usually comparable prices, though they are more food focused vs. carrying everything.

I break my butter sticks in half with my bare hands, fight me.

Sounds like we should be using Waymo way less.

I know quite a few people who can’t stand that movie. Now, that’s just, like, their opinion, man.

I’d honestly buy Satisfactory again with how much fun I’ve had in that game.

Did y’all ever mention it to him or was it just a commonly accepted “Oh yeah, that’s just ‘Background Porn Brad’ haha” type thing?

I use mine almost daily. I just like not having to worry about battery life. Quality on a $50 pair of IEMs is ahead of a $150 pair of BT Bose I got as a gift once, so that’s another plus.

For all those complaining about the wire snagging, I run it under my clothes. Barely feel it and it doesn’t snag anywhere now :)

Or a weird concept.

If you want a true “Minecraft in space” experience, I recommend Space Engineers. Not as broad as NMS, but much deeper (especially with mods like WeaponCore, MES, and Aerodynamics).

TBF, it kinda sucked on release. I still remember the monoliths of Hydrogen…

still, I use it as one of gamings biggest comeback stories because it is.
