Looks like Lorcana has some potentially huge changes coming in a couple of weeks: https://lorcanaplayer.com/dual-ink-cards-changed-set-champs-prizing/

Will be talking to our organizers today. Can say that the new dual ink cars will cause a huge stir. How much of one depends on the effects of the new cards but it’ll be huge down the road. And I…[Read more]

Yeah, will try that soon. Just tried capping the frame rate in Adrenaline and it didn’t exactly go well. It caused a lot of lag, visual anomalies, and the game still crashed so I reset the setting back to the defaults. I may have to try switching the monitor’s refresh rate at some point. Assuming I don’t just give up and grab Fallout 4 first…[Read more]

Read Dark Matter a couple of months ago. 🙂 It was pretty fun and I liked the bit in the chatroom that was essentially a callback to Bender’s Big Score when an infinite number of them start popping up before he kills the chatroom.

Also read Recursion a while back. Not his best book, honestly. Great characters and interaction but the premise…[Read more]

Ah yes, a fairly positive reader reaction at Goodreads. Having completed Wayward Pines, Dark Matter is next?
The hourly could mean 80% chance of the 20% weekly happening in the next hour, or could the weekly mean there’s a 20% chance of 80% happening each and every hour, as opposed to a random hour. 😛
Bunker up though, any plants in pots are best…[Read more]

How odd, the dates for expiry on the certs (excluding the mail) were set for the 13th of February. Looks like they have been manually regenerated then, still no confirmation from the providers. The full WHM access allows for some AutoSSL tweakage, not sure if it would have helped us here though.

Here’s an interesting idea: in theory, a darker sheet should decrease the risk of freeze damage more than a lighter colored one as it’ll absorb more photonic energy. Definitely worth testing at some point.

The test would be pretty simple: get a collection of very sensitive plants and split them into three groups: a control and one each for the…[Read more]

May have been a renewal hiccup. Now all of the subdomains are showing up as they should in the certificate information with the next renewal set for April. I know in the Linode, it would sometimes take a day or so for the renewal to complete. Never did figure out why. It occurred even when I would run the command manually

Happened again at the day of this posting, AutoSSL times out, the internal cPanel error with the certificates was:

The installed certificate does not cover this domain

All of a sudden, three hours later, the certificates are fine. No word from the providers as yet, so just in case they missed it, requested a reason for the outage. The certificates…[Read more]

All right, went and suggested it. They do that over here, a continual succession of James Bond, Lara Croft, Harry Potter, Night at the Museum, Indiana Jones etc. etc. reboots. It can be said Most JB movies are worth a second look. 🙂
For fans of female heroines, Haywire is a slick piece, David Holmes’ score has a clangy sixties feel and the…[Read more]

Didn’t even notice that omission. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. It’s too bad hovercraft never took off, they were quite useful. The issue with wind was probably too big of a problem for them to have good staying power, though. Lakes and such get a lot of wind!

Just went on a Wiki journey and found out the DC did a Superboy TV show that I…[Read more]

Nice list from the other thread, hovercraft were all the rage in the 60s and 70s, not so much in the later Bond movies. The Griffon 2000TD operated by Brosnan in Die Another Day wasn’t listed, wonder why.
About an hour into The Voyeurs, changing the channel was very tempting, being the the absolute martyr persisted, and, well was somewhat rewarded…[Read more]

So that’s what it’s called! Here’s a bit of a list of credits for what the piece is used in: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006309/ It’s used a lot!

Will see if I can catch them over here!

Still making my way through the Bond films. Hit the Roger Moore era the other day. It’s quite different from the Connery era but I like it for its cheesiness.…[Read more]

Read Blake Crouch’s Run the other day. It was a brutal book and only recommended if you’re in the mood for something that gets the heart pounding. It’s really heavy.

Working on prepping for the upcoming cold blast. Weather report is not consistent with precipitation. The weekly forecast says 20% but the hourly says 80% so it’s pretty confusing.…[Read more]

LAA flag is just a setting for the linker in the 32 executable code, PrgLnch will set it for sure.

Geocities
There was another site derived from GeoCities with numbers in the name, 777 or 888, Los Angeles? based, not listed as a free home page like these:
<table border=”0″ width=”90%” cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″…[Read more]

That was years ago, around 2016 or so? Something like that. The fix was to move the HUD to the center monitor and adjust the FOV in the INI file. The issue was a sluggish UI that went away when only a single monitor was used. After making those adjustments, the game worked pretty normally. 🙂

I think the LAA flag needs to be used like Skyrim with…[Read more]

Sounds like it’s something with some of the embedded ads. 🙁

Yeah, dealer fees are a bit insane. Unfortunately, we have laws that prevent manufacturers from running their own dealers so that the individual dealers don’t get priced out. Yep, the dealers lobbied for such treatment. And, if you try to special order something, it can get complicated.…[Read more]

Sorry, been tired again. Probably just trying to take on too much.

Anyways! Yeah, let’s try to contact them. Dave did say I could use a fork but didn’t have the details handy so that may be permission from him on that front.

Without a license in the code, it means that anyone who wants to work on our version, even though we got permission, would…[Read more]

Boing-Boing don’t like the host listings, so up goes a blocker/wall without a booiiing sound effect. Luckily, you can clear the cache and cookies, then, in reloading the page, quickly hitting stop before the wall comes up again. Yes, its hilarious, sort of thing one would find in TikTok. 😛
Haven’t seen many – if any – of those in this country,…[Read more]

Do remember seeing that, Laurie chucked in a few goodies in like the familiar Also sprach Zarathustra, later “stolen” by Kubrick’s gang:

The Two Faces of January (film) is a classy production around a rather mean plot line. The sets, the acting, the scenes and the music are are all to die for!

One fine orchestrator for film scores is Alberto Iglesias – here’s the main titles from The Two Faces of January:

Here’s one from Broken Embraces with cool still-image warping visuals on the…[Read more]
