    Sorry, the first url somehow got barfed – fixed it. The other three urls are thanks to Believe SAS, Polydor and Universal. How odd it is for all these folks to have to get all copyrighteous over their regions though.
    Gotta get the mic out to record some fine snoring – in the meantime, there is a cat over at Freesounds.…[Read more]

    Gotta include Henri Salvador here – one of a kind really when it comes to songs like Pauvre Jesus Christ.
    There are some cracking songs in that selection as well. This one from ~1958:

    And much earlier the classic Le Petit Indien, later, the old À la Claire de Fontaine:

    Could have been, the relevant reg keys are in the OP above, but now with Widescreen and HD Gui working well enough, there’s no need. 🙂
    Please forgive the above omission of GemRB for Linux and Windows, and yep, they have a forum up as well. 🙂

    Funny, our houses of tomorrow never did ever get the technology to fool the IRS like that. Along with the extra hurdles of instantly converting the 500 hectares of manicured gardens into an impassable weedy wasteland, and back again!
    Never tire of any of the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes cartoons!
    What’s your favourite Scream movie?

    A very bumpy trek indeed. What can we say? The road to hell is cobbled with those who say:

    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!

    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]

    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.

    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:

      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…

    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. 🙂

    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?

    In toying with the idea of peeping under the hood re the caching system used, typed in a block of text as a reply to some topic without posting it. To determine if it was cached, found no updates at all when filtering Stearn in ChromeCacheView (sorting LastAccessed). If the test is not setup correctly, might be a question for the WP or SO forums.

    Nice, there’s a nice scene in Apocalypse Now with that playing.
    Heard of Sam Sklair? Plays the flute, clarinet, and a host of other instruments. Here’s a nice one:

    He also created some synth-y stuff in the eighties like Touch Tone Keyboard in The MicroChip revolution. That’s the playlist, where the track…[Read more]

    Ah, the 1988 original. The 2019 film is also a slasher. 🙂
    Descent 2 played out the way one expected it, provided they had seen Descent 1, thus not so much dramatic tension, and no variation from the effects of pathos. 🙁
    Also streaming Zola, it’s lively, and rather risque. 🙂

  • Rereleasing this old-timer is a blast from the past. Don’t remember playing the original, (certainly do recall the amazing sound effects in Bane of the Cosmic Forge.)

  • Wants sandboxing, if the url to be linked contains “=” in possible combination with “&”, there will be additional insertions of 2033 DOUBLE PRIME and 201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK “””, with an extra noopener, if that was specified in the link.

  • Seen a bit of scoffing at QT on SO threads and others, it’s not all that bad is it?
    Unity is introducing a surcharge on distribution of their runtime libraries on end-user machines. Without any sweeteners, no doubt comes across like a kick in the guts first and foremost to their pro and enterprise clients.
