Reported the diffed files as follows, the mage.chr is also different, so could have installed a character mod back then.

Have you tried Firefox? It uses a different rendering engine than Safari/Edge/Chrome etc so it may help isolate the problem. I haven’t had the issues myself with Chrome but it could be something related to how other software is interacting with the browser

Another odd related issue, an incredible disappearing tab.
A notable side-effect is the exception is not posted to any subcategory of Windows Events Logs, and the tab URL will not not show up in browser History. Used ChromeCacheView to search for any unposted text in the forum page, nothing.

I remember getting a card for free game time, I think it was for three months, with a computer of mine twenty years ago for the second game. Never used it for some reason, even though I did try WoW (wasn’t my cup of tea: too much grinding). I’m really surprised that they’re both still online. They definitely don’t do a whole lot of advertising so…[Read more]

Heh, not unless you’re a super villain, in which case concerns regarding peace, order, and harmony in the community can be left at the door, assuming of course such an item will remain in one piece after your episode of rampant destruction. 😛
OMG, so many expansions to play- so tread carefully, for fear of falling into the evercrack!
Was never…[Read more]

On the list, (so long as Ming matches up with the character portrayed in the comic strip. 😛 )
Six Minutes to Midnight worked as a thriller – 6 or 7 out of 10 perhaps, the critics were obviously put off by extrapolation of the real life events. If they expected more from the film, what?
Funny how Body Double initially flopped. Here’s the…[Read more]

There are confirmed issues of issues with adding and launching shortcuts in Windows 11… Stay tuned!

I really should watch Flash Gordon again. It’s a lot of fun!

Three of them and what I did was use the daisy-chaining feature of DisplayPort to clean up the mess of cables. Nice and tidy! 🙂

Yep, that’s the one!

Okay, so you did have four monitors hooked up to the old desktop rig, do they all have dvi/hdmi/displayport connectors?
Sounds like the new monitor is the one and same in use, right? (Still very much in antique DVI land here, and HDMI still for the televisions. 😛 )

Huh, looks like EverQuest is still online. Don’t know why I thought of it last night as I never did play it

Weird. I can understand keyboards doing that if they’re a membrane but a mouse shouldn’t be affected unless it’s got a pad under the button!

Yep. I get the lights overhead flickering if I also run the microwave! 😛

One laptop has W10 and cannot be upgraded to 11 for being too old while the other one is currently on W11. I haven’t had the chance…[Read more]

The biggest change to Gramps on *nix has to do with the paths. For user files, you’ll find them in ~/.gramps. Additionally, you can change the database type in settings (don’t know if it’s the same in Windows).

Everything else, as near as I can tell, should be the same as on Windows other than a few UI differences to account for differences in…[Read more]

There we go! Always found it useful!

Cool! Never tried a horror game before but it does look like a good concept. I do have some horror games I got for free, I really should give them a whirl!

It’s never a good idea to live in a town with superheroes. The insurance premiums, disruption, and constant property damage would not be fun at all,…[Read more]

Oh, well while the weather is warming up for spring, the pebble button is wanting the firm touch again. Must be the contacts literally shrinking from the very idea of coping without all that nice permafrost around! 😛
And yes, definitely not running the Vax or any other heavy equipment (jackhammers, compressors, generators) near this rig whenever…[Read more]

Things working any better?

Could be, next time it happens, we’ll set up a crime scene, won’t be too long as there were one or two new arrivals today.
Yes, he updated it religiously, here are snapshots for 2005, 2010, and 2015, after which the site was revamped.
Subliminal is a nice turn on Superliminal, as seen in the trailer:

It’s on the list! Going to wait for a sale, though. 🙂

I do quite enjoy the freedom of NMS and how it doesn’t have a story or anything. It does have rudimentary quests but they’re mostly designed to introduce you to the game elements. It’s not exactly an RPG, mostly a survival and space exploration game 🙂

Probably not. Now, Discworld would make…[Read more]
