Spastic Hamburger

Weird! That sounds like a translation file got messed up somewhere

Memory access defines the blood level…? I really don’t understand that logic 😛

So are you running it on Linux, then?

My Sim has developed a coffee addiction. Right before she is supposed to sleep, she made three cups of coffee and drank each one immediately after the other 😛

Yep, new version and, yep, I had closed it before I clicked to go back. 🙂

Nope but we do have heavy mineral deposits in the area, which may be part of the issue. I’ve had many a spigot clog up! 😛 A water softener may help at some point

Got it three years ago after the old one kicked the bucket. Not only has it been leaking but the heating coils crapped out.

I may try running some vinegar through the washer in case…[Read more]

My washer isn’t holding up nearly as well. No idea what year it’s from but it’s relatively recent. It’s developed a short that causes it to sometimes skip the spin cycle so I need to run the spin cycle manually. 😛

Another annoyance that may be due to the water quality here (not sure) is that it’ll stain the clothes with what looks like rust…[Read more]

Sorry for the delay!

So it launches Notepad without issue save for a bunch of resolution warnings (I’m running a 4k monitor at 144 HZ) and, on exit, the Back to PrgLnch button yelled at me about a missing window and took a few seconds to allow me to click it.

I downloaded the zip from GitHub but there may be a better way to handle things. I…[Read more]

Will add it to the list! I still need to play through Neverwinter Nights! 😛

I used to like playing MMOs but I’ve been having some trouble getting into them lately. Not sure why :/

So Disney is coming out with a box set consisting of most of their films: https://www.polygon.com/23868034/disney-100-movie-blu-ray-set-pre-order

Very cool but expensive!

Finally got around to ordering another cookbook: The Cake Bible. Should be here sometime next week!

Yay! How far back does your DB go so far?

Cool! Those are quite extensive! That must have taken a lot of work!

Cool! Didn’t know they did a reboot. And a TV show…? Didn’t know that.

These films can be fun but the plots are always full of holes (no pun intended…I think) ! I guess that’s part of why I like them. 😛

Sounds fun! Will add it to the list! Only available for rental currently but maybe that’ll change 🙂

Child’s Play was fun but, golly, it had a lot of plot holes!

For example: they jumped from the kid being in a mental institution, just having busted out his cell but wandering the facility still, to being at home. How did he get out without anyone catching him? How did he find his way home? It was 1988! It’s not like he had GPS or had been to the…[Read more]

Yep, it’s been dubbed! I always try to watch dubs as I have issues with reading subtitles and following along with what’s going on onscreen at the same time 🙂

Been meaning to watch The Descent since it came across my radar a few years ago. Saw it mentioned somewhere in passing and I thought it looked intriguing but it was pushed to the back of…[Read more]

I still get the message that it needs to be set up by the organization. I’ve been trying every week or two but without success 🙁

Yeah, I’d love to save those things! We have a lot of good stuff in there!

Interesting. Didn’t realize they could quantify it with a formula. Going to need to read the article when I get the opportunity!

Read Far…[Read more]

The big issue with it is that it reimplements the language features instead of using the already existing features.

Yeah, that’s not exactly cool. It’s also potential for abuse. A malicious party, for instance, could set up a script to download and install over and over again, driving up the fees to astronomical levels after the initial purchase.

With a stag as the game piece? 😛

We do have the Escape from the Swamp idea. Sadly, we weren’t able to grab it before Teams went belly up. Perhaps we could try to pick it up again?

Yeah, they’re a bit of a rarity these days. 🙁

Snowy was the underrated star of the series! I do love his commentary on the events in the stories. 🙂

Over the…[Read more]

It’s a wonderful film!

I think part of the issue is that it’s a bit hard to get creative with war films these days. Granted, they can still be good (Das Boot comes to mind) but I think the general public has grown weary of the genre as of late, especially with all the global conflicts in the last decade. Speaking of Das Boot, I really need to…[Read more]

On September 11, 2023 at 7:56 pm Laurie Stearn said 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…

Would need to watch the old Universal Monsters films again but I believe it was the Book of the Dead. So the mummy wasn’t looking for its mummy but its book. It should have gone into repo work with a library! Sadly, the Library of Alexandria is no more 🙁

Will test! Give me a bit! Got some other things to take care of 🙂

Been re-reading the Tintin stories lately and they never get old. Every few years or so, I pick one off my shelf and they’re delightful every time! 🙂
