Der Kollege aus dem Einkauf hat bei einem zwielichtigen Händler für 100k Chips bestellt weil die dort so günstig waren. Dort haben sie nur ⅓ des regulären Preises gekostet. Es kamen zwar Chips an, aber 96% nicht in der Geschwindigkeitsstufe und Temperaturbereich die wir brauchen. Produktionsstopp, alles brennt.

Jetzt stehen sie wieder da und müssen Nachschub besorgen. Der Plan ist jetzt beim nächsten zwielichtigen Händler zu bestellen, für neun ähnlichen Preis. Der Händler will Bilder der Ware schicken, allerdings erst nachdem die Bestellung eingegangen ist. Immerhin sitzt der in Deutschland, so die Begründung. Na Prost Mahlzeit.

In eigener Sache: sucht hier jemand einen Elektronikentwickler?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is surveying the commercial advertising technology market for tools capable of supplying location data and large-scale analytics to federal investigators, according to a recent Request for Information (RFI).

Framed as market research rather than a procurement, the RFI seeks information from companies offering “Ad Tech compliant and location data services” that could support criminal, civil, and administrative investigations across ICE’s mission set.

I cant press the button!!

Today's game is some more Halo. I finally got around to trying some Forge Games (Only 450 Hours in on Steam alone). We got a whole bunch of stuff to try. Like one we got called Jenga. It's a game of infection where the Zombies have Grav-Hammers and try to Fling things at the Humans who are stacked on some floating boxes that can be dislodged.

It's a lot of fun, and there's some sort of satisfying terror of seeing a Warthog whiz past your head:

Halo Reach has some really satisfying physics, which makes this mode all the more fun to play.

We did another mode called Run from Barney. In it you're in an obstacle course with an invincible enemy who's the titular "Barney". Your goal is to make it to the end without being caught.

Despite it's name, it really subverts Halo to me. There's no way to fight back. There's no way to kill the enemy. Your only option is to run. It's almost terrifying in a way to have the power Halo usually gives you ripped away from you all while being chased down by an individual with the name "Barney".

There was also Forklift Sumo. It's pretty straightforward. We just all get in forklifts and try to push each other off. There's not much else to say.

We then did a Gamemode called Michael Myers. This one was really fun and creative. There's one zombie who's Invincible until the last Human is alive. Then you can kill them. In a way it's a satisfying game of Hide and Seek which becomes 1v1 Infection right at the end.

The map that's paired with it is fun too. It's narrow and has tight corridors, so theres nowhere to really hide. Just run and avoid the killer and hope to lose them.

And of course, i couldn't try Custom Games without tackling Griffball. This is a blast, both literally and metaphorically. I think we need more than our usual 6 for this. But besides that it's still great fun. I want to try and find some more courses for it. I think it'd be fun to get some variety.

Playing these was fun, especially since it gave me time to install the next game i want to try playing.
