I do like having discs around. They’re quite handy! I used to take a laptop on school trips (along with a few discs, of course) so that I could watch films with my friends in the hotel rooms. We’d also watch them on the bus. Can’t do that with streaming!

Yep. Started watching Scream the other day after finishing the Friday the 13th series and the…[Read more]

Thread. 🙂
Man meets Unicorn – beautiful! They played this on out this FTA news bloopers segment:

A new website release in response to the current growing housing shortage, sh*t rentals, is spruiked on TikTok, scroll down there to enjoy the reviews. First heard of it on the FTA Drum, wish we had…[Read more]

Aw shucks, no blu ray here, couldn’t they conjure up a Mickey Mouse styled DVD set for the rest of us luddites, or even better, load it all on USB stick or even Torrent!
Freddie is unforgettable though, once he has popped up in the corner of your frustrum, he’ll never go away!
Classic! 🙂
The Paris Creation model is beautiful, but will those Louis…[Read more]

Yes, could be intentional as well – if only recollections of the previous gameplay 10 years back could shed light on similar! Right now, half a day on, the courtesan and her (conversationable) companion have disappeared from the area. As a matter of interest, it’s not immediately obvious if such movements and dialog of unnamed NPCs are moddable -…[Read more]

I miss old cartoons!

Watched Nightmare on Elm Street the other day. While good, it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. For some reason, I have a hard time getting into supernatural horror films. I like the corniness of creature-features and slasher films 😛

😀

Virtual! She doesn’t even drink water anymore, only coffee! 😛

Well, she has a caffeine crash some gametime later. I haven’t installed a tea infuser yet. I do wonder which she’ll prefer. 😛

The game is fun but I do miss the wide-open world of The Sims 3.

Lovely! Would make some great music to pair with a super cut of lights blinking on technology! Cut from a fax machine to a modem to a mainframe…. 😀

Sorry! I thought I had hit the submit button!

Don’t remember too much of Apocalypse Now. My attention kept wandering while it was on…. 😛

I should probably fix that. I remember bits and pieces,…[Read more]

Captain ImGreat (anag. of Ragtime): All aboard the good ship Ragtime! Hey look, there is a TigerMa on the GeriMat! You’re seeing double – it’s actually a TriMage!
Goodness, what are the drinking habits otherwise? Is that real coffee, and what happens to it after! Suggesting decaf or hot chocolate/carob surely can’t hurt.

Weird! That sounds like a translation file got messed up somewhere

Memory access defines the blood level…? I really don’t understand that logic 😛

So are you running it on Linux, then?

My Sim has developed a coffee addiction. Right before she is supposed to sleep, she made three cups of coffee and drank each one immediately after the other 😛

Further random blatherings:

1. After a lengthy and somewhat painful Google-ude (Google interlude), found that Debug Mode=1 doesn’t work for console access in this game edition, rather:
   

   [Game Options]
   Cheats=1

2. The baldur.lua file popular with the EE is non-existent on this install, as is the existence of any My DocumentsBaldur's Gate folder and…

Yep, new version and, yep, I had closed it before I clicked to go back. 🙂

Thanks for checking!
Is that the new Notepad? How strange, was Notepad closed before the Back to PrgLnch button was clicked?
Yes, there’s a bunch of weird stuff going on with it, will update when back on W11. 🙂

Nope but we do have heavy mineral deposits in the area, which may be part of the issue. I’ve had many a spigot clog up! 😛 A water softener may help at some point

Got it three years ago after the old one kicked the bucket. Not only has it been leaking but the heating coils crapped out.

I may try running some vinegar through the washer in case…[Read more]

Down deep in dungeons, the un-pausing of the game while in inventory gets one’s goat after a while, mainly due to the fiddly nature of full inventories. Fortunately, it can be paused, by copying over the saves to the multiplayer save directory, and setting up an solo MP game, as it were.
Fine, save for a couple of hiccups mentioned over at GOG. 😛

Has happened here on the odd occasion as well, usually turns out to be something awry with the switches.
The stain is odd, rust should generally rinse out – always rinse in cold here. For the existence of rust in the HWS or even the pipes, no issue with water for the bath or shower? How old is the hot water tank btw?

My washer isn’t holding up nearly as well. No idea what year it’s from but it’s relatively recent. It’s developed a short that causes it to sometimes skip the spin cycle so I need to run the spin cycle manually. 😛

Another annoyance that may be due to the water quality here (not sure) is that it’ll stain the clothes with what looks like rust…[Read more]

As well as the Frigidaire, this establishment sports a fine and trusty Simpson Delta 402 washing machine.

Acquired in 1990, it has to date accommodated many a load without so much as a sneeze, notwithstanding the horrendous number of dirty hankies it has suffered unto. The only issue to date was the replacement of the broken lint catcher some…[Read more]
