Spastic Hamburger

  • Saw this one yesterday. It was fun but the plot made zero sense. They kept forgetting various things that made it nonsensical, such as when the heroines top got cut by a scythe at a warehouse leaving her topless. They just left it at that without a change of clothes and a few dead bodies. We’re supposed to assume she made it back in that state…[Read more]

    Tried out Lorcana yesterday and it’s pretty fun. The game is pretty chill and is pretty straightforward, unlike modern YGO. As far as gameplay goes, it’s similar to a boardgame but without the board aspect. I’ll probably try it for a bit and see how it goes 🙂

    What filesystem did you format it as? It may have been a filesystem limitation.

    Weird that original run didn’t properly set up the system files. Of course, I’ve never tried to set up a Windows recovery drive (I’ve always just used the installation media). Are things well on the way to recovery now, then?

    Here’s an interesting blurb on wormholes: https://futurism.com/the-byte/small-wormholes-fabric-space-time

    Got more articles buried in my list somewhere. Wormhole research has really been getting popular over the last several months!

    Yay! New story! Always did love the series! 😀 Been reading it for twenty years:P

    My base in NMS is coming along rather nicely. Got a roamer bay assembled so that will help with exploring the planet I’m on and I may toss a few more bases on it later. Not sure as it’s nothing special, just the first base the game had me make to get used to base building. 🙂

    Still want to build a base on that desert planet but I’ll get there! I…[Read more]

  • Saw After Hours yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Not a whole lot of plot but that’s okay!

  • Spastic Hamburger replied to the topic Random in the forum Discussion 3 weeks, 4 days ago

    Thanks. Took a closer look at the reviews and they’re pretty consistent with regards to the upper lip area. Sounds like the spacing of the rotaries is too much to properly cover the area. Back to the drawing board!

    Yeah, I’ve always had battery anxiety. Really wish we’d go back to batteries that were easily replaceable by the consumer. 🙁

    Ugh.…[Read more]

    Thanks! Taking a look at them now, this one looks like a good middle of the road option?

    Great!

    I really miss games hosting the leaderboards on an easily accessible site. 🙁 Granted, that hasn’t been much of a thing in a long time but I still miss it! It was fun to check in and see how you were doing compared to everyone else throughout the day.…[Read more]

    Finally got around to seeing The Stepford Wives the other day. While it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Found it a bit bland for some reason or other.

    Yeah, not a fan of subtitles. Over here, it was dubbed but they hadn’t bothered to change any of the credits to english. 😛

    Probably hasn’t aged well, either. Still on the list, though! Almost watched it a few weeks ago but watched something else. 😛

    Do like Gibson’s writing. He even did an episode of the X-Files!

    Saw this low profile sci-fi…[Read more]

    Saw The Lift yesterday and that was pretty fun, if somewhat cheesy. In one scene, the elevators play hide and seek with a girl before eating her teddy bear. 😛

    How do they handle the upper lip? They’re not too large, are they? My only experience is with foil razors 🙂

    Looks like most electric razors these days are cordless. Not too worried about battery capacity as they’ll only be used for a brief time daily so it’ll be a long time before the batteries are no longer able to hold a charge. Sadly, it does…[Read more]

    Huh, no device loading is pretty weird. Had that happen over here a couple of months ago but it cleared itself up after a few microcode and kernel updates (even weirder as that shouldn’t have affected the UEFI). Does everything still work in the OS itself?

    Here’s an interesting idea for an experiment:

    Plug a generative AI extension into a blog and set it to output articles based on random input (source yet to be thought of) and set it to run periodically, mimicking ab actual writer. The idea would be to see how weird things get over time. 😛

  • Spastic Hamburger replied to the topic Computer Setup in the forum Projects 1 month, 1 week ago

    Haven’t tried it on mine yet. I really should as I’ve had it for a year now. 😛

    Do have a few programs that take advantage of it, such as Hogwarts Legacy, so it may be worth giving it a whirl. 🙂

    For Oblivion, make sure you don’t forget that you can’t use HDR with another setting (been so long that I can’t remember the conflict). You need to…[Read more]

  • Good to see that the community is trying to take it over. I wonder if they’ll get permission to continue printing it? I do remember it from when it was active but not very well. Mostly, I remember seeing the product on store shelves.

    WotC recently integrated LotR into MTG with great success. Perhaps that will help give it a future?

  • Thanks. Will keep that in mind! 🙂

    I suppose I could also replace the keycaps periodically but that’d get kind of annoying 😛

    Went ahead and retired the three Dell monitors last year. Still have them in the closet but I don’t use them now as the panels had some color issues. Kind of miss 16:10 though.

    Yeah, integrated drivers can sometimes be…[Read more]

  • Yep, remember Merlin. Only caught the first couple of episodes, though, before school got in the way. Really need to rewatch it in full at some point. Interesting that they named the Lady of the Lake Freya. Freyja. Freyja was the Nordic deity of sex and foresight.

    Saw The Nesting yesterday. As far as ghost stories go, it wasn’t bad but it also…[Read more]

  • What’t the best way to clean gunk and grime up from a keyboard? Due to my oily hands, things around the home get a bit grimy due to the dirt they pick up 🙁

    After a year, the biggest complaint I have with the monitor I got is that its stand is too tall and it has limited ability to lower the screen. Minor thing and easily fixed (I have a spare…[Read more]
