Spastic Hamburger

I kind of miss the simplicity of Usenet and the BBS boards. Had access to some of them twenty years ago when Bellsouth was hosting them. Hard to beat a simple mailing list like browsing but with better organization.

Other than a few books on the wait list, I’ve pretty much run out of science fiction from the library. At least, space opera. So I’m moving to horror books now. Wish me luck!

And another one came in: City Car Driving. It has VR support, which the other two do not, but its wheel support isn’t as extensive according to the reviews but it definitely warrants some additional research to see which one of the three programs is best suited to me 🙂

More than likely. A higher power input means more heat if the battery can’t absorb it all so you want a charger with a lower power for those devices. Don’t remember seeing power tolerances on spec-sheets like we have for humidity and temperature, which seems like an oversight since we have chargers of several power ratings. There are some that…[Read more]

Put out a holler on Reddit and the peeps over there also suggested taking a look at Euro Truck Simulator 2 so I’ll add it to the list. May have me on the wrong side of the road, though 😛

Sorry! I mean CPU controlled cars other than mine. The patterns don’t need to be realistic, just need some moving obstacles to practice on. 🙂

Thanks! Will give that a go 🙂

BeamNG Drive looks like it may be a better sim than Rigs of Rods and shares many of the same devs. I think it has ambient cars but need to make sure. Tried Rigs and, while okay, it is missing some features I need for a good practice sim

The stuck entry doesn’t appear in the registry at that location. Wish we had a proper search function for the registry. The find option just isn’t cutting it!

That’s a lot of whitespace! Better view would have the search bar next to the menu options like that. Assuming it’s using some sort of XML based layout (among others), they could do that…[Read more]

Still need to log in to GitHub but a C++ version doesn’t appear to be too difficult with few dependencies, especially with the filesystem library being added circa 2018. May take a stab at it and see if things start coming back to me as it’s been a good while since I did coding and I have been in the mood for more than just thinking up algorithms.…[Read more]

So I know you’ve been pestering me to watch Wayward Pines. Since I can’t get it on the services I subscribe to, I decided to read it instead!

Also, happy Halloween!

So I settled on Donald Duck – Pie Slinger for my late game heavy hitter as its secondary effect has good synergy with the rest of my deck. We’ll find out in a few weeks if it works well 🙂

Begging to run out of science fiction to read so I think I may shift back to horror for a bit. Been at least a year since I’ve read horror. 🙂

So my first deck from scratch in six years is almost done. I just need to pick out a few more cards. Essentially, it works as a lore farm at its core. Right now, I’m just trying to pick out the heavy hitters 🙂

So we charge a small entry fee just to get them going! 😀

Marbles, too! Can’t lose them otherwise!

😀

Almost Halloween so we need to kick it off!

Huh, never knew they also released a Backyard Skateboarding game. Looking at Wiki, it looks like they’ve been trying to get it going again. They could definitely try making at least adding one sport to the series: lacrosse. Wasn’t popular back then but it’s now popular enough to warrant a game. Could be fun.

Not familiar with that feature. Is…[Read more]

Not sure what the current quality is like but Cracked used to be a fun read. But, yeah, it’s going to be hard to fill the MAD hole.

Yeah, looks a bit pricey. May be worth checking a sample out at the newsstand first. Wikipedia has a pretty good list

Yuck! You could try something like OdoBan if they sell it over there. We use it over here and it…[Read more]

Ad Astra was incredible. It focused almost entirely on the journey with a slight dash of the politics involved, giving us a nice and relaxing space film. The ongoing narration as opposed to current interactions really sold it as a narrative. You could actually feel the distance and tension it was trying to portray in lonely space. The visuals and…[Read more]

I remember old cartoons used to riff on that design by making it a hamster wheel or the like. 😀 Would be quite fun, though. Set it up with a gyroscope to keep you centered in the middle while the rest of with rolls around you. Attraction idea for the theme park thread?

Ah, didn’t realize that musical organs were that popular. Yeah, I see them at…[Read more]

Been a while 😀
