Huh it’s weird I never thought that they’d keep someone around on life support so they can do experiments on them. Not what I would think would happen to me if I was an organ donor.

Even back when the lobbies were p2p there was still infrastructure on the developer side to handle the matchmaking, stats and progression. I’m sure the load is much less but the multiplayer experience isn’t as good. It would also be pretty demanding for some games that have huge lobbies like battlefield

Awesome, I definitely recommend them if you like South Park. Lots of references and callbacks to bits of episodes.

If you get all the way into the game then go offline I believe it still works. I’ll have to test again but I do recall being able to play without internet after resuming from sleep

I only had one or two freezes between the two games

Definitely don’t skimp on gear, or screw around in the rain. I’ve had half a dozen accidents over the years and no major injuries thankfully due to always wearing my gear. The majority of those accidents were when it was wet, or rainy, or misty out.

Always give yourself a way out, and expect people to do the dumbest thing they can.

Oh I was saying with the free mode of esxi there are limits placed on the VM resources, not the host. It can be a bit of a pain to get the updates and patches if you don’t pay for the license though. If you get a enterprise server (dell r730 etc) then you’d be able to get the custom dell package from their site for updates but it’s a pain lol

Depending on what you are trying to run those should be an okay start

Basic functionality is probably good for most people. I believe the biggest limit I hit was for the resources. Believe it was 8 vCore /8GB RAM on a single VM. Most of the other vSphere/vSAN and orchestrator stuff is probably beyond home lab needs

Here’s a wiki article about the incident they are talking about. Basically it’s believed that in order to get money to arm rebels in Nicaragua the CIA assisted with importing cocaine to the US and specifically primarily black neighborhoods fueling the crack epidemic.
