Been taking screenshots of my space journey. Will share them soon!

I also learned a few minutes ago that using the freighter to warp doesn’t let encounters take effect. I like those bits so I’ll switch over to the starship even though its warp drive isn’t as efficient. Getting close to being able to upgrade my ship as I’ve continued to ferry…[Read more]

Yay! Going to need to keep on them! Have some very fond memories of the series 🙂

I watched a dubbed version, which they did a good job on 🙂

Yep! Seen them! They’re a riot!

Weaver in something that’s not science fiction? That’s unusual 😛

Watched The Evil Dead II yesterday and that was fun. Weird film but fun. Loved the part where Ash cuts off his hand and then pins it with copy of A Farewell to Arms 😀

An argument clinic isn’t all that bad of an idea. It would allow people to blow off steam in a setting in which its warranted and allowed. Getting people to use though is another matter entirely 😛

Interesting, that’s in Italian – are you conversant, or like me, dependent on subscripts.
Do recommend the first two Rush Hour flicks, superb choreography and LOL moments. 🙂
The Assignment is on FTA tonight:

Dr. Rachel Jane is a rogue plastic surgeon with a twisted vision of a better world.

What we need is more folks with a better vision of a…[Read more]

Could be! It’d be hilarious if the models start acting like HAL 9000 if they get trained on Arthur C Clark 😛

Yep, the sequels are definitely on the list! Also added a bunch of old sci-fi and horror films from the 50s and earlier. I can also get the colorized version of Night of the Living Dead but I prefer to watch these types of films in their…[Read more]

Whelp. At least it works! Of course, you could read a book or two during that time. Just don’t read while sitting at the computer! 😀

[Post moved] hope that’s okay. 🙂
Very interesting thread! As noted in the last bit of the second answer to this question, a consideration is the fuse going if the MOV gets too hot for risk of fire.
Don’t think Zero Surge do units for Australian power outlets, found this for the aerial, something with more outlets would be nice. The Surge…[Read more]

So had my first Lorcana tournament yesterday and since I was still using the starter deck it went about as you would expect: I lost 😛

Working a new deck from scratch so hopefully the next one goes better 🙂

Starships use good old antimatter, which requires refined copper. Apparently, there are other ways to get it. I really need to explore unlockable blueprints at some point. Anyways! Some planets have more copper than others but it’s not too difficult to come across. Your vehicles on planet use carbon for fuel, which is their substitute for oil. And…[Read more]

How much is fuel? Bound to be plenty of oil on that tropical planet, any use for spaceships?
Remember Tobor the Great? Just in case it has slipped from memory, there’s a nice review here. 🙂

As we know, I’m constantly doing research on a variety of things mostly related to circuits and other bits of science and came across this bit: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/surgex-zerosurge-brickwall-tripplite-or-what-kind-of-surge-protector-do-you-use.9205/

It was a pretty interesting read. My understanding is that the current into the…[Read more]

Haven’t read King’s novel, did see the movie, and now, is it possible a tiny smidgeon of Christine has popped up in AI? 😛
Classic, and a must for the list is Evil Dead II. 🙂
The atmosphere of The Disappointments Room clicked, not for the critics though. A shortish flick, Kate’s histrionics towards the end were off the charts. 🙂
An improved…[Read more]

Finally got the chance to watch The Evil Dead and that was fun. Bruce Campbell’s acting was superb.

So this is very important in No Man’s Sky: in order to unlock the teleport point for a station, you must land on a moon, planet, or the station itself. When you warp into a system, you spawn right next to the station so I recommend taking five extra minutes to land on it. Forgot about that for a moment so now I need to go back a system and snag…[Read more]

Really need to rewatch Gotham at some point. It was really good!

Finally got to see Christine yesterday after it showed up on Tubi. Well worth the time but it did have some gaffes. For instance, Arnie stops wearing his glasses even though it was implied the car initiated behavioral changes as opposed to physical.

Great! I can definitely attest to the stuttering being fixed with the shader change. Did that back with the 260 and voila! Really should reinstall Oblivion one of these days.

Another item to add to our possible knowledgebase?

I do agree with some of the posts in that thread that it’d be nice to get better Source Engine updates. While it works,…[Read more]

That fixed it, have to say forgot all about the shader issue, originally thought this was the issue, misinterpreted it, turns out the graphics subsystem is completely unaffected.
Wait, wasn’t it announced a couple of months back Anandtech were closing, there’s nothing about it on the About page. The forums are remaining, however. 🙂
