I'm a gamer with a passion for cybersecurity! ... wait, I'm a cybersecurity professional with a deep rooted love for video games! Both? 😎🤣
And, most importantly, fuzzy puppies <3
people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Excellent metaphor!
Just another example of the unintended value that video games has brought us 💪🏻
Open-world games teach us something profound: You can explore anywhere, but the story only progresses when you take action.

Read that again...

Good morning :)

Sweden's remarkably clean power grid. In November, this was its electricity generation mix:

Hydro 38%
Wind 31%
Nuclear 28%
Bioenergy 4%

Zero coal or gas.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

For some games, 100 hours isn't even enough to get through designing my character (*cough* Dragon Age Veilguard *cough*), let alone play enough to inform an opinion. 🤣

Name a video game you have a 100+ hours of gameplay in:

Hitting 100+ hours in some games is just easy for me. I don't intend for it half the time it JUST HAPPENS in some games lol

Choosing strong passwords is like choosing the best armor in any account, video games especially.Make it unique, long, and complex, so it takes longer to crack, giving defenses enough data to catch and stop the attempt.
Don't forget to keep it a secret!

These kinds of programs are more about modding than cheating (think Noxus mods), but the point is the same. Make sure that you know what you're downloading and at least, trust from where it's coming.
