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:

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] -
DeVaultSetter replied to the topic Timestamps in the forum Forum 3 years ago
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.

It just occurred that italicised selections on the current font layout are to all intents and purposes indistinguishable. Worth trying out something else from the not exactly large range of font options in Twenty Twenty Three?

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

Looking through Robin’s style pack for spoiler tags – came up empty. A basic spoiler tag is as good as any, and not being a frequent user, it’s much further down the priority list. 🙂

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] -

Reading about ejector seats in planes, and naturally the question arose as to were there any accidental touches on the ejector seat button. Turns out there was, in Vietnam apparently, amazing how the plane later survived the landing on autopilot.
The literary circles over here have been abuzz with controversy over plagiarism, this by John Hughes.…[Read more] -

No better way to kick this off with Ublock Origin mentioned here, of immediate interest is how it handles Microsoft Solitaire ads. Not much success in playing the challenges with various blocking techniques as discussed over at AutoHotKey, perhaps this breaks new ground?

You know, Alan Partridge has a poetical streak:
Reading them again? Must be good! When very young, read a lot of the William Books, and enjoyed them so much that read some of them again. Didn’t know there was a TV series made though.
Yeah, more threads, especially one for games! -

Thanks! Have a link to it? Might come in handy if we decide to use it- right now the chief reservation being that it might put something else off kilter – if for no other reason than some unintended consequence of our dear old friend, Murphy, and his Law. 😛

You could hire a model and take some – ahem – mag snaps – might be best done in a studio though. 😛

Thanks for the update. Certainly worth raising at WP then.
