The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the next game I'll be starting. Likely will start it tomorrow morning when I get up for the day.
I grabbed it on PC GamePass for now. If I find I'm going to be putting hundreds of hours into it, I might just buy it so that I fully own it.
Anyone else here playing it and if so, how are you liking it?

I've thought about grabbing the Enhanced version, but at this point, I've purchased GTA V in some form at least 12 times. I've given them enough money and think I'll just wait until GTA VI at this point.

Anyone else playing the new Assassin's Creed: Shadows?
I've been playing since the day it was released and absolutely loving it.
It's not changing anything in the series compared to the last, which was a ton of fun because of all the stealthy stuff you have to do.
I'm about 20 hours into it and feels like I've done much of nothing.

It's been a relatively busy day at work so far for me today, so I've not been actively looking at Mastodon and seems I've missed some stuff along the way.
@npub1z0a…p2r8 just informed me that @npub19kd…t56d is leaving Mastodon, which I now see by what they have in their bio and I'm curious as to why this is happening.
Not only that, but how are people feeling about this that actually use Proton?

Oh I can tell you've been doing photography for a while. Absolutely beautiful photos on that link you sent.
I'll definitely need to play around with the gallery on my SeerOfSouls.com website and see what I can come up with.

WOW! As in WOW to the the way they look on the site, but also the quality of photos. I wish I could be that good at photography.
Is that just a page on your website and is your website WordPress or something similar? I believe it's WordPress, so I'm curious if the theme does that or if it's some plugin that you use?

No problem. If you need a link, I can share one that has some pretty shocking stuff included about him.

Because of the developer and how he down/bad mouths people, downs other developers, has public melt downs constantly, claims everything to be open source when it's not. Lots of information on him can be Googled and you'd be shocked to see what you find.

I've thought about it, but I don't really have a theme that displays photos the way I'd really want them to look.

I have my own blog, but that's for writing. I don't really like to post/host images there.

Since making the decision to leave Pixelfed a couple of weeks ago, I'm struggling to find a good place that I want to host the photos that I post each day.
I recently went over to Flickr and to be honest, I'm just not feeling it. There are quite a few issues or features that are missing that seem so basic that we should have in 2025.
I'm not sure I'm going to stick with it for the foreseeable future.
Currently testing @npub1lf5…xewk by @npub1jzr…gwg4 and really liking it. Just hoping it gets an RSS feed feature super soon so I can have EchoFeed post my photos from Vernissage to Mastodon.

I started playing Avowed over the weekend, as I had been waiting for this game for a very long time. I decided to break down and get Game Pass for PC for a month and then pay $22 to upgrade to get Avowed a few days early and it's been so worth it.
I'm closing in on about 20 hours into the game so far and absolutely loving it. It's so much like Skyrim, but better and yet different in a lot of ways.
I'll likely do a review on https://SeerOfSouls.com very soon.
Are any of you playing it other than @npub1hez…c94w as I know he's playing. If so, how are y'all enjoying it so far and how far into it are you?

Anyone have suggestions for a FREE(or very cheap per month) photo hosting service?
I'm looking to move away from Pixelfed, which is currently where I post photos and then have them auto posted to Mastodon via EchoFeed and an RSS feed.
I'd like something simple, easily customizable without having to code. Just something I can post a photo a day so to speak and have others be able to view it, comment or whatever.
I don't need a store for the photos, as I have no intention of selling photos since I'm not some great photographer.
And no, I do NOT want to self host in any way!

Just completed Eternal Strands on PC a few minutes ago. Took me 28 hours and 27 minutes.
Super fun and very enjoyable game that I'm glad I decided to pick up and give it try after only watching a couple of minutes of Cohh streaming it the day before it was released.
I didn't 100% complete the game, and maybe that's something I'll do now that I am done with the main story.

Good morning and happy first day of the weekend to all of you here within the #Fediverse
How are we all doing and what do you have planned for the day today, if anything?
I plan on being as lazy as possible today and not doing much of anything other than play some video games and lay on the couch, watch TV and likely take a nap or three.
I have no plans to go anywhere today or tomorrow and I hope I can stick to those plans 100%.

Eternal Strands came out on Tuesday and I started it on Wednesday morning. This game is a ton of fun and something I'm pretty sure I will complete. I'm currently only about 8 hours into it.
The combat is really good as is the overall game mechanics, the graphics, the story and everything else.
It's only $40 on Steam and something that I recommend. It's also available on GamePass for those of you that subscribe to that.

No, I'm not using them actually. I don't have a brain nor a bed emoji on my profile at all. You must be seeing it differently than others. But I can assure you I'm not using either of those as I have no reason to use either of them. LMAO

2025-01-28 13:09:00

Good thing is, I didn't use either one of those in my profile, which is what I was referring to as to which of the emoji that I used on my profile do you have an issue with.

2025-01-28 13:05:33

- reply

Which ones specifically are you referring to if you don't mind me asking?
Also, it could be a difference in languages that others speak so some emoji could mean something slightly different to each person.

Woke up a bit earlier than usual this morning and while I was waiting on the wife to get home from work, I decided to update my Mastodon profile.
It was a bit short due to being limited from when I was running AllThingsTech.social so I decided to expand it a bit and make it not look so clunky.
Hopefully it helps make it a bit more clear as to the things I like and am interested here within the #Fediverse, especially for the new users who might view my profile and wonder if I'm worthy of a follow.
I even took a bit of inspiration from [@alice_watson](https://infosec.exchange/@alice_watson ) with regards to how I presented the hashtags!

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to @npub13kl…6dna @npub17fe…w0a6 and @npub1sxc…dh4d of the @npub13fk…z5hw and @npub1ekk…vy6m teams for meeting with myself and @npub1z0a…p2r8 last night.
The conversation was absolutely amazing, filled with laughs and good information talked about with regards to Surf itself.
I'm so honored to be able to participate in the early beta of Surf and to provide feedback to Marci, Mike and Emily that will hopefully help make Surf bigger and better than it already is.
It's so great knowing that when you do give feedback, that feedback is being listened to and often acted upon in the coming days/weeks/months. This is what makes good apps become great apps and I firmly believe that Surf is well on the way to having a very bright and popular future!
THANK YOU again for such a great and wonderful meeting last night!

Except goldfish actually have exceptional memories if you take the time to do your actual research.

You can definitely feel the stress that the influx of users are putting onto Pixelfed.social here the last few days.
While the site isn't unusable, it's considerably slower than it was prior to this huge influx of new users.
I've had my account there since the day I created it, and I have no plans to move it to a smaller instance as of right now. That might change if things get worse, though I don't think @npub1xsv…q6he will let that happen if he can avoid it.
It's good to see this influx of users though. Means the platform is growing, Pixelfed is getting some much needed attention and users are finding a new place to call home.

That is awesome! Luckily we have Kumquat, that I post about quite often too, so we're not without a cat either. He's now the king of the castle, as she wouldn't let him have such exquisite titles while she was still with us. LOL

Thank you! Yes it does. It's such a horrible thing that causes you to have to do painful things like this. It sucks and I too am sorry for your loss 4 years ago.

Good morning #Fediverse friends!
How are we all doing today? What's on the agenda for the day today, if anything?
For me, while yesterday was an absolutely horrible day, today is going well so far. I'm at work and will work until 8pm EST, and have no meetings.
Not much else is planned other than work, but the good news is, I'll have a 3-day weekend because Monday is MLK day.
The wife and I will head out tomorrow and do some shopping and hopefully Sunday will be a lazy day!

Today is one of the hardest days of my entire life! I'm completely heartbroken and shattered that my wife and I had to put this precious kitty, Bess, to sleep this morning!
Bess came into my life when she was only 8 weeks old, and she would have turned 17 years old this coming September.
Bess has been a huge part of my life, has given me numerous upon numerous memories during those nearly 17 years.
Bess was hands down the sweetest, most loving, most caring, yet totally different cat than any other I've ever owned.
Bess had her own little personality like no other cat I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of cats over the years.
When she was very young and up until about 2 - 2 1/2 years ago, she was a very large kitty, weight wise. She once weighed in at almost 23 pounds. Over the last 2 - 3 years she lost a lot of weight, and in fact, she was down to 7.6 pounds this morning when we took her to the vet due to the swelling in her leg and in her throat.
I'm going to miss Bess more than anything. I'm going to miss seeing her sleeping most anywhere and everywhere. I'm going to miss her getting in a box the moment we sit it on the floor. I'm going to miss her begging for food in the kitchen, or as she likely thought she was doing, helping us cook while in the kitchen.
I'm going to miss her little "meeps", as she didn't have much of a voice due to the person who owned her when she was born, her boyfriend stepped on her throat trying to kill her and crushed her vocal chords. But she did have a little meow and a little "meep" as Bianca and I called it, and when she meeped, she got whatever it was she wanted at the time.
I'm going to miss giving her "bathtub time", as she loved to get in the bathtub, have us turn the water on for a second so she could then drink the water from the bathtub.
I'm going to miss her, totally and completely! I just hope she felt like she was given a great life and I hope she has no complaints.
She's now off to join her brother Porgie, who passed away in June 2022, and of course Pops who passed away in July of 2021. She was certainly a huge part of Pops' life as well for her first 12 - 13 years of her life. Pops loved her so much and would be heartbroken to know she's no longer with us.
Bess was having swelling in her left leg the last couple of weeks, was breathing heavier than normal over the last few months and had been diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease back in November 2023. She wasn't in the greatest of health, but she lived a full life!
I love you Bess, Bessie Lou, Ms. Lou, Ms. Lou Poo, Bessie Lou Poo, and the likely hundreds of other names we called you throughout the years. I'm going to miss you more than you can ever imagine!

Good morning to all of you here within the #Fediverse
How are we all doing today? Anything special planned for the day or the evening?
For me, it's the usual work stuff with a meeting at 2pm EST that shouldn't be too bad. Hoping the work day goes pretty smoothly.
After work, likely just rest and relax and not much else.

This is certainly quite interesting to see happen. Hopefully this is something that helps Mastodon and everyone involved in the long run.
The people should own the town square.

Time to do a little #Introduction post since I am now on a new instance.
I was the former admin of AllThingsTech.social along with my good friend @npub1z0a…p2r8 but we had to shut it down, which means it was time to find a new home. Starting today and going forward, the place I call home will be infosec.exchange.
My previous account was: @npub1hrg…7yzk
Here's a little bit about me. I'm currently 53, a very happy #Husband, a #Cat dad to two amazing kitties, Bess(16) and Kumquat(4), lover of all things #Tech and I've been playing #VideoGames since the early 1970's and have yet to run out of lives. I'm also a part-time #Blogger / #Writer I guess you can say. I also love to post about #Nature #Sunrise #Sunsets #Food and numerous other things.
I like to ramble a lot when I post, which is part of why I came to infosec.exchange as I needed that 11,000 post character limit. 🤪
I think for now, that's about all I can think of, but I'll leave all my other social media platform links below in case you would like to connect with me elsewhere along the way.
