It was the original, and back on the watchlist as might have confused it with something else. 🙂
Don’t get all of the negative feedback on Legend, even though Scott did take on the task of pruning a fair chunk off the original to “suit the locale.” It’s a fantasy after all, and seemed to be adequate for the genre, although some of the scenes were derived from such stock that might be described as somewhat “kitsch iconic.” Some of the events in the story & scene switches jerked on the senses a bit, and being a Fantasy focussed on Cruisey “valorization”, the dialogue was to be interpreted as music rather than anything that had to be put to the understanding. Wonder if the voice of the vampiric Darkness could have been the source of inspiration for The Transcendent One in Planescape: Torment? 🙂
Goldsmith’s original score was very good, as were the follow-ups, many of the youtube video clips may incur copyright censoring, so the following may not be around for long:
Second one is more in character, also like the retro ones.
Always thought pork fat was much healthier than beef fat. Turns out, not that much. 😛Certainly, or even some aspect of the card itself. Has been tested before. Nothing in the NVIDIA logs of interest, the times of the logged events (adjusted to local time only in their backup files) all point to the time when the driver is loaded. Nothing in the shell, CBS or DISM logs either.
And there’s always the drama with bootup. 😛When considering trying out the unpaid version of Personal Vault (PV for short), be urged to read the fine print beforehand, or incur all of what has befallen to this poor user in resorting to threads such as this for reference.
The extra 2FA security layer did look attractive at the time, so, upon activation through the explorer shell, the first epiphany came through loud and clear that nothing will happen if no files/folders are stored in the PV. After depositing a file in there, it’s not long before one finds out the unpaid version of the Vault will only hold a maximum of three files. If you place in there a folder containing more than 3 files, it will change colour, and the tooltip will be “Your Personal Vault is full.” As a matter of interest, stored an empty folder, and rebooted. A nasty series of notifications popped up, indicating the PV is locked, and the entire OneDrive synchronization will remain suspended until said PV is unlocked (to facilitate access to the grand total of one empty folder mind you.) In order to unlock it, one has to go through the 2FA process, where MS have turned off auto-suggest in the dialogs so that usernames and passwords have to be manually inserted. You then find that the PV automatically locks after a period of inactivity – 20 minutes on the web is default, but can be increased to four hours in the One Drive SettingsAccountpage. To make it easy for users, this One Drive Settings page cannot be accessed from the usual settings dialog, only by right clicking the icon in the explorer navigation pane, and Microsoft have conveniently provided no hyperlink shortcuts likems-settingsfor quick access toOneDrive-Settings.
One consequently finds that after repeat exercises of the 2FA unlock, the fun element begins to lose its shine, as does the prospect of running the PV at all, thus bringing the disable PV option into focus. Can be done, and as it so turns out, only through the browser interface, as opposed to the enabling exercise carried out above.
Ah, the things we do for the sake of security! 😛Sword Lord of the Goblin Horde? On your guard pard, smite ’em hard!
OMG, their 50th Anniversary up, and playing at the StoneDead Festival this weekend – great place to meet up with fellow zombies!
The size of the collection of Alex B on YouTube has now even superseded those such as erstwhile contributor Richard Maraña who shared vinyls of yesteryear from countries all around the world: Here’s one of them:
Some of the others like Universal, Various Artists, and The Orchard Enterprises are really big. 🙂How odd! On the desktop it is the submit button, so if the post body is empty:
- Error: Your topic cannot be empty.
Your call entirely, actually not unhappy with the way it operates right now. As long as folks know it’s under the auspices of WP and not something else going on with the browser software. 🙂
There’s no room anywhere to post our ridiculous piccies. Here’s another post, of our favourite dog, spent hours trying to find out how one could post it as a simple slideshow in Facebook, guides like these don’t work. The remaining option is just to record the stills in an MP4 video. 😕
Right now, after a bit of thunder it is raining! Hope it keeps up a while. ⛈Really weird there was never a desktop version for YouTube shorts, so that the layout would be more like the regular length videos. All that white space, and two clicks just to get the description. So did a bit of googling to answer this question.
The purpose of which was to view this video in standard YouTube format, so the description at least is “less fuss.” Naturemapr is a nice site, if only Australia wide, spawned by a gov. dept. (so more or less provincial at that) – one would expect such an enterprise to be world-wide instead.Wow, know what model? If it’s possible to view the content either through the camera or an SD reader, does there come up anything interesting?
How interesting, the Wikipedia article says there was an earlier series:Starting in July 2009, Power Girl received her first ongoing series, simply titled Power Girl (vol. 2), with the first twelve issues written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, drawn by Amanda Conner,[10] and colored by Paul Mounts.[11][12] According to Comic Book Resources, the series has been “wildly praised for its fresh and fun approach.”[13]
Wonder who she paired with in that?
The local newsagency moved shop in downsizing, and funnily enough at the same time someone faraway decreed no more MAD magazine issues were to enter this country. It so happens this is the last issue here. RIP AEN! 🙁
Edit: Posted this to Facebook, as the file was a bit too large (Zuck has plenty of free). 😛This also happens on retrieval of a page with unposted text, or in rare situations (think gremlins) when the posting fails. The text may be retrieved with View Cache Data for Chrome, or a slightly different way in Edge.
Baldur’s Gate 1 was the only one, it got to be a bit repetitive from memory. Will try and complete it. 🙂
There does not appear to be much in AutoHotkey re W11 taskbars, there’s a poster here with his multi-monitor setup for future reference.
Quite a bit in the TT Sim, along with quite a presence at Steam, and a chance to build a better dystopia, too! Uses Lua, which is pretty nice, and there’s a console for fun and testing. 🙂
From a PowerToys devotee from Win95 days, welcome to the club! 🙂Rather generous of them, indeed. 🙂
Was there anything in the MS Teams thread for addition here?From this blog it explains:
Through From Dusk Till Dawn, the Titty Twister bar goes from Mayincatec-inspired nightclub to vampire den to a full-blown Mayincatec sacrificial pyramid almost buried in the Mexican desert. All within a short distance of the Mexican-American border.
And here there is:
As one of the genre world’s preeminent Mexican-American filmmakers, Robert Rodriguez is known for creatively incorporating his Latino background into his work. Even though Quentin Tarantino wrote the script for From Dusk Till Dawn, the matte shot of the Aztec temple at the end was Rodriguez’s idea, no doubt in an attempt to connect the film’s vampires to a Mesoamerican identity rather than the traditional European image. The filmmaker hung the painting on his wall for eighteen years until he finally got an opportunity to return to that imposing pyramid.
Yeah the AztecMayincatec theme wanted re-inforcing, if there was ever a little souvenir shop next to Titty Twisters that sold “local” vampire gear including pyramid shaped mementos… The resulting effect of the movie was to bang together a bunch of terrific ideas and hope it all worked within allocated time & budget constraints.
Liked the soundtrack, especially Stevie Ray Vaugahn and his brother’s blues. 🙂
Heh, had to choice on FTA of watching Piranha or Vera, went with Vera as the other seemed a bit teeny- was that the case with you?
Go for the early Midsomer Murders with Nettles, they have some genuine moments of creepiness, some of the late ones can be fun as well. 🙂Ah, missed that the SSD will be to load the games on, which makes sense, sorry. Yeah, on the W11 machine here, it’s the opposite, the OS lives on the SSD for a really speedy bootup, and if there’s any room left (500 GB), games can be installed, played, then uninstalled in order to accelerate its demise. 😛
HDDs are different, the motor driving the rotation usually conks out before anything else. 🙂
Is it ever worth trying SteamOS at some stage, SteamOS3 runs games better than Windows, so long as one uses Steam Deck hardware apparently.Ah, it’s a Valve game, and the site directly links to Steam for downloads, so you have it installed then. There are many things that appeal about the Steam interface, having certainly maturated, but not to the point of suppuration.
Yes, work & play. Surely there will (or does) exist a (non VR) game that folks with shout from the rooftops runs soooo much better on *Nix than Windows. Can one ever be tempted?
And the other thing, to reboot in order to play a game, won’t that bring forward the EOL circumstance of the precious SSD even more?
(The persistence of such dilemmas could send one past PEBCAC territory, and into the Slough of Despond, wringing their hands, sponging their eyeballs, and shaking their very peripherals with grief!) 😭Wow, blast from the past, the idea GLaDOS is a personification of Prometheus is interesting. Playing it on the ‘Nix? Possible with Steam, not with GOG.
Ah, okay, they seemed to have more of the right shape. If there ever was an animation in the loading of the web page with the aforesaid share links falling from the top to rest in their current position, then would it be better to call them share crumbs?
Terrible fires in Hawaii. 6.5 ml. of rain here today, long time between drinks, so more may come early next week. 🙂Definitely Sin City, why none have appeared on FTA here to date is cardinal!
From Dusk to Dawn is another Tarantino creation, and fits into the description of uneven. Some of the best scenes ever in noir schlock intermingled with surprisingly ordinary dialogue and plot/character development. Still recommended for the good bits. 🙂
Currently streaming The Bridge, and into the second series. There’s nothing much to say for it, other than each series having 13 episodes, hence the self-inflicted resolve to view it until the bitter end. 😛Obviously a step up from the W10 Windows Calculator, which itself isn’t too bad. Baldur’s Gate 3 is now released, and a few mods besides. Have a Baldur’s Gate (1) game save ~13 years back with 75% completion. Really wanted to complete that before getting onto BG2, other stuff such as Oblivion got in the way. 😛
Whenever it wants to rain, the Peron’s tree frog gets active and frequents the drainpipes, with something like this:
Obviously a home recording with a mic, or from the tablet is possible, a water proof pipe camera & mic would be ideal! 🙂
There’s a name for the image effect in the following video – similar to that in the old movies when a character is about to recount or replay a scene remembered from an earlier time.
