Sorry! I mean CPU controlled cars other than mine. The patterns don’t need to be realistic, just need some moving obstacles to practice on. 🙂

Thanks! Will give that a go 🙂

The old tablet had the power button just around to the right of the micro USB outlet, which made diconnecting with the left hand and powering off with the right quick and eqsy, the A8 has the power on switch on the left and at the other end, really good for two left hands.

What’s an ambient car?
How annoying, maybe scanreg.exe or another reg cleaner?

BeamNG Drive looks like it may be a better sim than Rigs of Rods and shares many of the same devs. I think it has ambient cars but need to make sure. Tried Rigs and, while okay, it is missing some features I need for a good practice sim

The stuck entry doesn’t appear in the registry at that location. Wish we had a proper search function for the registry. The find option just isn’t cutting it!

That’s a lot of whitespace! Better view would have the search bar next to the menu options like that. Assuming it’s using some sort of XML based layout (among others), they could do that…[Read more]

Still need to log in to GitHub but a C++ version doesn’t appear to be too difficult with few dependencies, especially with the filesystem library being added circa 2018. May take a stab at it and see if things start coming back to me as it’s been a good while since I did coding and I have been in the mood for more than just thinking up algorithms.…[Read more]

So I know you’ve been pestering me to watch Wayward Pines. Since I can’t get it on the services I subscribe to, I decided to read it instead!

Also, happy Halloween!

So I settled on Donald Duck – Pie Slinger for my late game heavy hitter as its secondary effect has good synergy with the rest of my deck. We’ll find out in a few weeks if it works well 🙂

Begging to run out of science fiction to read so I think I may shift back to horror for a bit. Been at least a year since I’ve read horror. 🙂

So my first deck from scratch in six years is almost done. I just need to pick out a few more cards. Essentially, it works as a lore farm at its core. Right now, I’m just trying to pick out the heavy hitters 🙂

So we charge a small entry fee just to get them going! 😀

Marbles, too! Can’t lose them otherwise!

😀

Almost Halloween so we need to kick it off!

Done with regedit, try this:

Some of the programs in subscription have of late developed a tendency to want their users to click buttons rather than use the pull-down menus. Even if you end up using just the…[Read more]

Huh, never knew they also released a Backyard Skateboarding game. Looking at Wiki, it looks like they’ve been trying to get it going again. They could definitely try making at least adding one sport to the series: lacrosse. Wasn’t popular back then but it’s now popular enough to warrant a game. Could be fun.

Not familiar with that feature. Is…[Read more]

Not sure what the current quality is like but Cracked used to be a fun read. But, yeah, it’s going to be hard to fill the MAD hole.

Yeah, looks a bit pricey. May be worth checking a sample out at the newsstand first. Wikipedia has a pretty good list

Yuck! You could try something like OdoBan if they sell it over there. We use it over here and it…[Read more]

If there ever will be a fine satirical magazine like MAD on the stands again, yep, worth a thread. Still searching for humour, there are some stalwarts in isubscribe. ComicsUK definitely worth a lookover, love the funny folks:

Seriously considering American Bystander, more my cuppa, 8 mags at $20 each cost a fair bit more than MAD reruns, with…[Read more]

Ad Astra was incredible. It focused almost entirely on the journey with a slight dash of the politics involved, giving us a nice and relaxing space film. The ongoing narration as opposed to current interactions really sold it as a narrative. You could actually feel the distance and tension it was trying to portray in lonely space. The visuals and…[Read more]

All the way back from ’97, and now only three comments. There was Backyard Skateboarding in 2005 apparently, – and what’s Dr. Octogonapus go to do with it? 😛

Do recall Ad Astra on FTA here some years back- it’s bound to make a re-appearance sometime.
Really that bad? Most of the FTA streaming sections boast a comprehensive line-up of goodies, old and new, it’s the migration over to Fetch that has uncovered bugs that make streaming more screaming than ever before. A lot of it appears to be on the Fetch…[Read more]
