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.)

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.

Yep! Does Teams come up at all on the laptop over there? We also want the Jokes and Disney, among the other quaint rantings.
Apart from the purple spider webs mentioned on today’s Science Show, all you need to know about consciousness is this Maximum Cause Effect Structure:

I tend to go more for front of brain (FOB) there’s another nice piccy to…[Read more]

Very interesting! Are the English DBZK episodes dubbed or subtitled – info not often easy to get via Googling or even on Wikipedia.
The Descent is rather depressing, saying that is actually a spoiler if you intend to watch it, so belated spoiler alert!
Streaming Noughts + Crosses at the moment – nicely put together and presented with a nicely…[Read more]

Great to have Gramps onboard Linux! 🙂
The other week Mum handed over another wadj of family records for the DB, so plenty on tap. Meanwhile, the Gramps Mailing List continues to toss up a varied array of goodies, such as this site using an unnamed generator, and this site generated with Gramps. 🙂

Edited the OP, turns out the vanilla Override folder in the New directory was pointed to, and the extra files in the original Override folder caused the resolution exception. Must have contained some widescreen mod files that somehow got misconfigured or mangled – who knows?
The nasty error occurred after the physical removal of the “baldur’s gate…[Read more]

How about devising a new game based on an old one – like a game of “Prong”, involving the wielding of a pointed implement capable of popping balls bouncing of walls. Well- er, if the mechanics of such a game will not inspire, the name is catchy enough, no?
No candy store in the immediate locale, one which boasts of being “environmentally focussed”…[Read more]

Cripes, a mummy with the mummy ability, or something worse, and did the title of the book happen to be “1001 Ways to Avoid Being Harassed By Masses of Murderous Mummies”?
As a matter of interest, can PrgLnch run Notepad or Calculator or anything else on W!! over there?

Yikes! Got sandblasted again when AFKing, so much so that the wire brush and gougers had no effect. It actually wanted a large crowbar or pick! ⛏

Probably not, for no other good reason than the other squillion games waiting on the to-do pile. 😛
Yeah, seems that way looking at this post at GOG, but things have changed somewhat since then. Reading from the general consensus from this thread at Reddit, if you were to acquire the game now, get the EE. In purchasing the game around 2007, the…[Read more]

Thanks. It happened at least once going back some time ago now. Not easy to pin down, so a different browser is a good idea. 🙂

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

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.

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!

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]
