Baldur’s Gate 1 was the only one, it got to be a bit repetitive from memory. Will try and complete it. 🙂
There does not appear to be much in AutoHotkey re W11 taskbars, there’s a poster here with his multi-monitor setup for future reference.
Quite a bit in the TT Sim, along with quite a presence at Steam, and a chance to build a better dystopia,…[Read more]

Rather generous of them, indeed. 🙂
Was there anything in the MS Teams thread for addition here?

Ah, okay. Thanks! That helps! Wish they had included some of that information more prominently in the film but it probably would have been a bit of a distraction 🙂

Yep, kind of surprised they didn’t do something like that. As it was, it was kind of odd to have a strip club in the middle of nowhere like that. Fun film but a lot of loose ends!…[Read more]

Power Girl’s solo series is starting up soon! Will get the first few issues but the special was a blast so I’m definitely looking forward to her solo 🙂

Ugh! Microsoft removed the option to move the taskbar in W11. 🙁

I always like to have it at the top of the screen to help me focus on things. Fortunately, I can still set it to hidden

And PowerToys has some pretty useful tools!

Mewtwo arrives in two weeks! On top of that, they’re giving away Mew with the code GETY0URMEW. 🙂

Yep. Got two SSDs: one has Windows and the other is *nix. I like to keep the two systems separate as Windows Update sometimes likes to do weird things. Learned that the hard way about twelve years ago 😛

Might be worth a try at some point. It’s designed as sort of an HTPC software package but for games instead of for general use. 🙂

My mom found…[Read more]

From this blog it explains:

Through From Dusk Till Dawn, the Titty Twister bar goes from Mayincatec-inspired nightclub to vampire den to a full-blown Mayincatec sacrificial pyramid almost buried in the Mexican desert. All within a short distance of the Mexican-American border.

And here there is:

As one of the genre world’s preeminent…

Ah, missed that the SSD will be to load the games on, which makes sense, sorry. Yeah, on the W11 machine here, it’s the opposite, the OS lives on the SSD for a really speedy bootup, and if there’s any room left (500 GB), games can be installed, played, then uninstalled in order to accelerate its demise. 😛
HDDs are different, the motor driving the…[Read more]

A lot of open source games definitely run better on *nix due to better driver documentation and ease of use of the APIs. But, yeah, we need much more support!

Several years ago, there was a major push to port games to *nix but that practice most stopped after just a few years. Probably from higher development costs for a small audience

Will…[Read more]

Ah, it’s a Valve game, and the site directly links to Steam for downloads, so you have it installed then. There are many things that appeal about the Steam interface, having certainly maturated, but not to the point of suppuration.
Yes, work & play. Surely there will (or does) exist a (non VR) game that folks with shout from the rooftops runs…[Read more]

Currently playing it on Windows. It’ll work on *nix but I’m trying to separate out the two systems into work and play 🙂

Maybe! Generally, they were added right below the content. Old versions of IP.Board had them, too!

Digg has gone from an aggregator to curated, StumbleUpon was shut down, and it looks like Delicious also shut down with the…[Read more]

Yep, saw From Dusk till Dawn the other day and it was fun. Definitely not a masterpiece but fun nonetheless! I didn’t understand the ending, though. What was the significance of the half buried pyramid in the final shot? I checked Wiki but they didn’t have any insight on it, just said that it was the final shot

It does sound pretty basic 😛

Been…[Read more]

Got it on the wishlist!

Never played the previous games, how are they?

Tabletop Simulator looks cool. May pick it up at some point 🙂

Wow, blast from the past, the idea GLaDOS is a personification of Prometheus is interesting. Playing it on the ‘Nix? Possible with Steam, not with GOG.
Ah, okay, they seemed to have more of the right shape. If there ever was an animation in the loading of the web page with the aforesaid share links falling from the top to rest in their current…[Read more]

Definitely Sin City, why none have appeared on FTA here to date is cardinal!
From Dusk to Dawn is another Tarantino creation, and fits into the description of uneven. Some of the best scenes ever in noir schlock intermingled with surprisingly ordinary dialogue and plot/character development. Still recommended for the good bits. 🙂
Currently…[Read more]

Obviously a step up from the W10 Windows Calculator, which itself isn’t too bad. Baldur’s Gate 3 is now released, and a few mods besides. Have a Baldur’s Gate (1) game save ~13 years back with 75% completion. Really wanted to complete that before getting onto BG2, other stuff such as Oblivion got in the way. 😛

Looks like this will be fixed in the next update: https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/commit/bbde786798c47b61f1ef87bd049224f351458b7b

Oh, yeah. That jazz is great!

Nowadays, most anime use pop. In the 2000’s, they went through a rock phase. Seems they change up their style every decade or so 😛

Our frogs get loud! It sounds like a racetrack some of the times 😛

Here’s one that’s kind of got an RPG vibe to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xk3AbQ0k6w

And here’s a fun cover…[Read more]

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]
