Got another tip that probably holds true for any *nix setup: if you’re installing Windows alongside, then I recommend increasing the boot partition from 500 MB to either 750 MB or 1 GB. While 500 MB used to be okay (it’s been the standard for well over a decade), the boot files have grown to where you run low on space with just a few images and…[Read more]

Portal is a wonderful game! Been playing Portal 2 since I picked it up for less than a dollar on sale the other day. GladOS is pretty upset, to say the least!

Yeah, I missed out on Psychonauts too. I really need to change that one day!

We called them share links I think. 🙂

Some of those sites are no more and I do miss them. 🙁

Huh, never…[Read more]

Whenever it wants to rain, the Peron’s tree frog gets active and frequents the drainpipes, with something like this:

Obviously a home recording with a mic, or from the tablet is possible, a water proof pipe camera & mic would be ideal! 🙂
There’s a name for the image effect in the following video -…[Read more]

Nice one, the Wikipedia article on GladOS never got to GA, but they did manage to pull the Botticelli source from this book.
Ever play Portal – Wolpaw was great wasn’t he, also missed out on Pyschonauts as well. 🙁
Just love the crumbs – is that what you call them?
     

One of the links on his site has been updated to this, very interesting lead…[Read more]

So here’s another one from the vault (one of my earliest ones, in fact): https://web.archive.org/web/20080410072412/http://www.game-ism.com/?p=91

The original site the article was on is long gone but I managed to pull it up via the Internet Archive 🙂

Haven’t seen John Wick yet but I’ve been meaning to! Yeah, their old films were fun! I have fond memories of Tango and Cash!

Looks like they also have some members only films you get with the subscription.

Not yet but I’ll definitely add it to the list! Big fan of those old ones!

Probably going to watch some more Tarantino films soon now that…[Read more]

Taking out a Hinox becomes insanely easy with the Biggoron Sword fused with a good material and it’s very easy to acquire. In the middle of Skull Lake in Akkala, there’s a chasm that takes you to the House of Bones. After you take down the Stalnox and other skeletons, the chest opens and gives you the sword. Then you can buy them with Poes from…[Read more]

That Jack Frost fella looks scary. Yeah, lets get all a gush with Kill Bill, anything with Sly, Van Damme or Segal. These days, John Wick has the wherewithal to address many issues. 😛

Subscribed to the Cult Cinema Classics channel, they want $6.99 bucks a month to join it though. What’s the benefit of that other than no ads?

Have you seen The…[Read more]

Saw the first part of Kill Bill and it’s great! Going to watch part two soon but it’s Tarantino’s typical over the top and flamboyant style so it’s got a lot of good humor in it and is just an overall fun film 🙂

Rewatched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and it’s still a blast. Highly recommended! 😀

Blech! We’re under a heat advisory for the next few days 🙁

I got to thinking. Most computer cases have the hot swappable drive bays inaccessible from the outside, making them not very useful. Why don’t more of them have them accessible from the exterior of the case?

I also wonder if I can add an image to the Windows boot process. Right now,…[Read more]

There’s a step missing in the article to repair the bootloader. In it, you reinstall the kernel but this resets the flags for the packages in the package manager so they’re no longer automatically cleaned up, causing the boot partition to fill up. I’ll reach out to support soon to see what the default settings should be so that I can correct it. 🙂

The wild grapes are ready! They’re medium sized, deep red ones and delicious!

I’m a big fan of Qalculate and have been using it for years. It’s got tons of features and conversions that are incredibly useful! 🙂

Good to know! Mine is a Creative SoundBlaster brand, I believe. Not entirely sure of the exact model, though. I haven’t really messed with it since 2010. It used to belong to my dad… 😛

Haven’t experienced issues with VR yet! There was another driver update released the other day, though, so I may install it. Since VR is a newish thing, it’s…[Read more]

Tir Na Nog: Land of Eternal Youth, which is the same as land of old creeps as per yours truly. 😛
One could weasily understand his point!
Totally sold on Yuji Ohno – his jazzy arrangements:

And…[Read more]

Good luck with the X-Fi, dug up a four year old post with driver problems.
Driver problems with VR known at AMD and Reddit. No issue without the VR headset then?
As a matter of interest, tried more than one monitor yet? There’s a few issues with PrgLnch & W11, we’ll get to them. 🙂

I wouldn’t say I’m sold on it just yet, still trying to figure out my way in it. The tutorial left a lot of things out, unfortunately.

Not yet sure of the feasibility of playing on a shoestring budget as I haven’t run the numbers yet but I’ll get there!

😀

Wasn’t aware that Wiki gave out stars! Cool!

Will probably need to remap the audio jacks as well. No idea how to do that so some reading is required!

Seems rather contentious! Just installed Synaptic here and it’ll definitely serve my purposes of searching out packages for install. 🙂

I do have one in the closet from fifteen years ago. It’s an old X-Fi. I may dig it out and see if it still…[Read more]

I used to have it set to randomize the screensaver. Sometimes I’d get a bouncing cow while other times a BSoD. Was quite fun!

Great!

Were you almost sold with Eve – or do we wish for a tutorial on how to survive stuff on a shoestring budget?
Made some ridiculous alternatives to The Sky is Blue. 😛
What do we have to do to get awarded a Wikipedia Barnstar? Here’s one to pin on the door of the vault:
