You know, this PC is itself a relic. Turned it on and got a Disk Read Error, Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot, which didn’t work. Then tried later, and it’s as if nothing happened.
So, for the Seagate drive, downloaded the legacy SeaTools, because, you know, everything here is kind of legacy now. But there you go, the program wouldn’t initialise because it…[Read more]

Yes, from Virgin (Prince of Persia, Earthworm Jim, Resident Evil, Flight Unlimited)!
Played it back then, it was pretty good. Now, there’s the re-issue, just extract the files into a directory like C:Guest and run. If that doesn’t work, try it from Old Games, for extra options try it with an MS-DOS conf file and run it through PrgLnch.

Sharktopus; and the never to be released spinoff: Jabberjaw Grows a Tentacle. (wouldn’t be technically correct since octopuses only have arms. But hey, it’s SliFi right?)
Cheap set looks spiffing enough, looks like you are starting a collection, how about a dice bath bomb?
The ozemail email address is finally downstream, took ages to change it in…[Read more]

Not quite a relic yet, the UPS purchased for the downstairs PC is getting on in years, and doing rather well. As for the place it came from, not so. Turns out they went belly up the very year the unit was purchased, and all of 5 years to find out. 😛

Ah yes, thanks, do have an account with the old SysInternals, but what happened to the old forums?

Zelda is getting better all the time it seems. Over here the ABC State Channel runs a weekly game review show mainly for kiddies, but adult kiddies like yours truly get a buzz out of it as well. This is their review of it – not region blocked over there at all?

Honestly, it’s looking more and more like…[Read more]

How odd, if it does happen again, troubleshoot the server-side cache by shooting a PM over here so the site cache can be cleared. Else it could be something awry with the client-side caching, an area which isn’t currently under focus (yet).

My goodness, that’s going back a bit again. Those kinds of movies are the spookiest of all, the PuppetMaster movies feature prominently on the Horror Movies with Dolls list.
They used to play the made for television Trilogy of Terror on late night TV, here’s the promo:

Recommended! 🙂
They are repeating…[Read more]

Love scones! Apricot might make for a good flavour combination:
The recipe also suggests a lower protein flour – very good idea!
Called my neighbours up to collect a bunch of ripe/ning persimmons I harvested 10 days ago. They suggested the best recipe was persimmon muffins. Yum! They kindly brought some plum jam and pickles, which I know for a…[Read more]

Is that for your posts only? Does it apply to the last post only, or all posts in the topic? The date/time won’t change after a page refresh? Does repairing the forums in Tools change anything?
I usually see the dates of the last posts on the forums page where they look to be reasonably consistent.

Yes! here’s hoping they have a horror fest on FTA SBS channel over here. It’s a made-for-television film which is synonymous with don’t_have the_funds_for_Box_Office_promos, and being less of a worry for the producers, the films turn out to be better than expected.
Wonder if they do lines on trick die, or ones with a slight bias? Good for a…[Read more]

In the final movie, were the same characters all killed off in a similar way? Hmmm, such a bloodbath would have engendered a greater hue and cry for sure!
Reviewed the clock, kind of like it, but wanted a bit more, I guess.
Reminiscence is on FTA tonight, might give it a miss being absolutely spooked by the reviews. Box Office Bombs aren’t my…[Read more]

Has the Zelda come in yet – Tears of the Kingdom is it? There are mods for it on Nexus, would those be usable for the Switch? Are these games bundled with modding kits, or is it stuff from (ex)gamedevs?

Use Clipgrab for youtube, which has undergone some criticism in the past – for me it is not problematic, mind you the ~100 mb d/l size does not account for relatively simple and uncluttered user interface. Clipgrab relies on this yt-dlp, an enormous project with no other purpose but to download stuff from youtube.
Signed up with PlayOK around 4 or…[Read more]

Indeed, awesome actually! 🙂
Something going on with the Facebook account over here – probably hack of the email address. It isn’t easy to determine via Google what methods are exactly constituent to Facebook security, no doubt they have hived it off to a lo-cost OEM. One capable of capturing hack events very much on statistical inference.
(A fun…[Read more]

Seeing this is also a Sounds topic, how about the sound of the Large Hadron Collider?

(What would you call vigorous shaker for pineapple cocktails? A Pina Collider of course!)

Yes, the Goondocks, hey that’s – we’re in it. (Aside: Probably a good thing with own water as it is getting expensive around the city up north.)
Well, a “quality” creature feature – see what you mean – a popular one here on FTA that came close was Rampage.
Oh, you mean the 2021 version? The 1982 version doesn’t rate well compared to Sleepaway…[Read more]
