I have a friend like this actively in the Navy. Hates anything to do with socialist policies (welfare, food stamps, the ACA, etc.) but his entire livelihood has been taken care of for him and will continue to be after he is done serving. He gets benefits for his kids, a hefty housing allowance, free medical care, etc.. I don't think it even goes so far as he feels he deserves it it's just the way it is.

The thought process is very puzzling.

Did you have any ethical dilemmas before working on the project?

I would think it was somewhat like any addiction. Does it dominate your life, do you prioritize gaming over relationships, do you find it to be something you cannot control.

I say "somewhat" because many people have very healthy social interactions with gaming associates and form lasting and meaningful relationships. When those people are also friends that you encounter socially, I don't see how that is any different than going bowling or whatever.

You mention ToTK... will your approach be to enjoy the game for the main story experience or be a completionist?

I'm asking mainly because I'm currently a casual gamer with limited time, and will play something like ToTK over the course of the next 2 years or so, and that will likely be my only gaming that I will do.

From a personal perspective, I've always loved video games, and it was a definite motivating factor for me to pursue a technical career. The interesting side-effect to working in tech all day, and I have done everything from game and web development to infrastructure engineering, is that the last thing I usually want to do when I'm done working is be in front of any kind of screen.

Hey team! I've been happily using AWS EC2 for 4 years now. Incredible value.

My question is all my instances are the previous generation m1.small type. There is currently no upgrade path that I am aware of to be able to transform these instances to the current generation.

Will that be a possibility in the future?

Also it states: "Previous Generation Instances are still fully supported and retain the same features and functionality."

Is that something that I can count on for a long time? Mainly because some of the instances I'm using are highly specialized and took a long time to configure.

Many Thanks!
