Finally, IT guys can compete with truckers when they play Euro/American truck simulator after work!
At that point just get a job in network infrastructure management.
Can we use it as experience to get said job? 🤔
Ultra realism mode should involve a boomer with piss on the front of their pants squawking about chrome being slow while you're under a rack fixing a punch down. In the background, your phone rings. It's a middle manager placed by an investment firm asking if you reset the modem yet.
I had this happen a lot when I fixed gambling machines. No I'm not putting a fucking winner in.
It's even dumber because they would have no idea even if it were possible and you were.
I would also be waste deep in the machine and they get pissy I'm not going to crawl out to tell them what a dying plant cold figure out.
Not quite slots but just as evil, don't want to dox myself.
Everyday people are trying to blur the line between gaming and work.
This looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Physical switch, huh? 2 guys and I worked an ISP in college as a start-up. 300 external US Robotics modems on the wall during the first year. THAT was physical switching, haha. Will give this a shot.
Terminal on a smartphone!! That'd be cool if I could do that on mine. Eagerly going to play the demo, and to wait for it to leave EA. Heard too many stories of gamers getting burned with Early Access to ever allow myself to buy Early Access.
