A big (TCG) welcome to the public arena! 🙂
There’s mention here of the differences of Master Duel with TCG and OCG, is it aligned to one more than the other, or indeed enough for a separate MDCG category?
In expanding the discussion a little, while (not really) a follower of Tarot, this one has a very nice thematic set, in fact something like Taro…[Read more]

Over the course of the last few months, it looks like the seed for the random number generator in Master Duel is set on load instead of being randomized before each round. Could be wrong and just be incredibly unlucky but I have had days where I get awesome hands each round for the session and other days where I get zilch each time. Generally,…[Read more]

Went ahead and moved this thread to the public area 🙂

Yeah, he will be missed 🙁

😀

Just realized that I haven’t shared Hammerfall in close to a decade. Need to fix that!

Saw The Driller Killer yesterday and it was pretty ho hum. I disagree with the reception on that and the categorization as a black comedy. The slasher aspects and the basic plot were only loosely linked together and there was no fanfare at all with the slasher bits, just people getting drilled up for no apparent rhyme or reason. They also overdid…[Read more]

Tardigrades are near indestructible! 😀

Yep, many different possibilities that definitely need consideration. Take Venus, for instance. There are some theories that microbial life could be living in its clouds. Fortunately, this is a planned mission but by a private party. We need more publicly funded missions to keep the private sectors from…[Read more]

I’ve seen a variety of flavored soaps, too! Used to be pretty popular but that trend seems to have waned 😛

About half the cost is for the grading and cover price. The grading service is 15 – 20 USD depending on outfit and the cover price is 6 – 7 USD. Looks like it’s also signed so that adds additional value. Personally, though, I wouldn’t pay…[Read more]

Yep! Got them the other week 🙂 Haven’t had the opportunity to do much with them yet, though. It’s either been pouring rain or too humid 🙁

Yep, got a multimeter but I may need a new one. This one is ten years old and was a freebie from a discount store so I’ll need to test it and even then its accuracy may be rather questionable 😛

Cool! I’d…[Read more]

Had the Lithium Battery feed in grid solar system installed a while back, didn’t get the monitoring with Redback Technologies going until recently because of an account schmozzle. Basic interface, nice bar charts though. 🙂
EOL for AHK V1, thus urging us on to make some headway with the new. How time flies. 😛

Went ahead and swapped the SIMS, now the new SIM functions in the new tablet. H’ray. The old tablet and SIM Device Info won’t recognize the old SIM – it is surely inserted correctly, aw snap.
Now we can turn to other performance issues, the first thing that stands out is all these Office365_like apps requiring complex key input combinations…[Read more]

Did they come through yet – don’t forget a multimeter, get one with a friendly interface. For your average meter newbie, gear like the DT830B Digital Multimeter used recently is a bit clunky, if not finicky. 🙂
Have an old piano in the recess underneath the house, a Rosenkranz beauty which, despite a broken leg, lusts for a restorer’s touch and a…[Read more]

Yes, legal teams championing work related injuries big over here along with pet/funeral insurance, discount furniture and sports betting apps, and who cannot sample the delights of loud and frequent promotions of reality programs – what else is new? 😛
Great concept in the evolution of theatre, around the time of Weiss the Adams Family was like…[Read more]

Some records reach back to the muddle ages, from whence the fuzzy details of distant ancestors remain well protected by the coarse veil of time & mystery. 🙂
Not sure if there is sufficient grunt to conjure up anything quite as well constructed as those sites above, as to what it will come out as, the proof will be in the plodding. 😛
In the…[Read more]

Interesting, tardigrades would be most happy in mosses and lichens, and require bacteria for sustenance. Going for micro-lifeforms is the best bet.
Didn’t know about Li-Fi, thanks.
Yes, life as we know it, and we know that we don’t know too much of what’s out there. For instance, how do we know life as we don’t know might exist within stellar…[Read more]

Not planning to play anything like Bug Fables either. 😛 Another one to watch out for is Dragon’s Dogma, with the sequel just round the corner.
For all the fanfare of La-La Land, the character selection was a bit ordinary, methinks something like a Lizzo interlude could have mixed it up a bit. The tracks were cool, a little bit of the 95 peice…[Read more]

It was mostly a joke game but had a lot of publicity 😛 Haven’t played it myself yet but I’ve been meaning to just for the “fun” of it 😛

Yep! Most the games are your standard fighter fair but that does make some sense as the most popular series (DBZ and Super) are all about fighting. They did make an RPG a couple of years back, Kakarot,…[Read more]

Over here, our local OTA ads are pretty much medication related or for personal injury lawyers now. In some cases, ads are run but the product is never even mentioned at all in the ad, save in the fine print that you need to get up to the TV to see, so they aren’t all that effective. I miss the days of fun ads! 🙁

Smellovision! 😀 Disney still…[Read more]

The good (albeit rather tragic) news is that he has now broken free, for eternity. 🙁
Back to Jap bands, there was Woohoo from Kill Bill:

Similar expression of interest from a well known cartoon:

🙂

Coffee Stain? By the tenor of some of those critic ratings, was it a stain from something else besides? 😛
Dragon Ball is huge, with a boatload of games to boot! The last, Awakening, is that a kind of TCG, or is Panini a separate game?
Unlocked wasn’t great, though a good movie to have on while in the kitchen, as the clear smooth voices of…[Read more]

😀 Stallone laid flat out in the middle of a Rocky Road? Overdid it on too many rounds of you know what. 😛
Advertising on FTA is trending nowhere fast – and slow, as we expect it to do with respect to any geologic time scale. Can “Secret Science” can be used to make them work more for us?

“Bad Ad”…[Read more]
