Easy, ya - but elegant clue - sometimes the art takes precedence?

Quote: ... it's the most immersive headset we've ever used. In atmospheric first-person shooters, such as Metro Exodus, that makes a world of difference. A game that might seems mundane at first blush is enhanced exponentially by the tangible pulsation of shotgun recoil and massive trembling brought on by giant shrimp literally shaking your canoe along your travels.
Sometimes, I get an itch to wander off my relatively narrow trail through the digital wilderness, and I go read something from what (for me) are the antipodes of what computer use is about (i.e., gaming, over-clocking, gushing-over-the-latest-shiny articles in Wired, or one of those TED videos that reek of in-group self-aggrandizement).
Like the above quote in a PC Gamer site review of a headset. I must say, I like the poetic language used, and ... giant shrimp shaking a canoe ... that reminds me ... literally ... of certain dimensions of expat life in Asia.
Note to self: never buy anything haptic.

I've never played a computer game, ever. Well, I played Asteroids a bit back in the 80s, if that counts. I haven't watched TV for a couple decades either for that matter. It's all just a massive distraction. Don't unhook or you might miss something.

I stopped watching TV in 1999, but I do a bit again, mostly to spend time with my wife

So you just employ other methods to distract yourself?

|
|
|

If you count writing code...

To be fair, that is the Fukushima level.

That's the best use of computers! 
Well, given you're playing the right game, of course

I hope it does not sound immodest if I say that, for me, programming is the ultimate game.

I have been given a list of strings that are actually numeric identifiers; these can autoincremented but I am trying to determine what the actually numbers are, as they contain alphanumeric characters. Can anyone advise on how to do this?
eg. x774b4n, x7741zs, x774ahm, x774cb0
Thanks.
