No worries!

Yep. I’ve actually seen some old surge protectors that have had burn marks on them, likely from such an event. I have no idea how mine are designed. Surge protectors are one of those devices that are important but hard to get much information on a specific model so I generally just stick to buying well-known brands like Belkin.

Yeah,…[Read more]

Yeah, I still need to watch that one. It’s definitely on the list!

Watched Army of Darkness so that finishes the set. Had some time afterwards so I also rewatched Meatballs. Needed that. Completely plotless but still a fun watch 🙂

Dyson spheres could be an interesting addition to the game. I’m sure there’s a mod for it but I haven’t gotten into modding the game yet. Maybe someday I’ll look into playing with mods 🙂

Been taking screenshots of my space journey. Will share them soon!

I also learned a few minutes ago that using the freighter to warp doesn’t let encounters take effect. I like those bits so I’ll switch over to the starship even though its warp drive isn’t as efficient. Getting close to being able to upgrade my ship as I’ve continued to ferry…[Read more]

Yay! Going to need to keep on them! Have some very fond memories of the series 🙂

I watched a dubbed version, which they did a good job on 🙂

Yep! Seen them! They’re a riot!

Weaver in something that’s not science fiction? That’s unusual 😛

Watched The Evil Dead II yesterday and that was fun. Weird film but fun. Loved the part where Ash cuts off his hand and then pins it with copy of A Farewell to Arms 😀

An argument clinic isn’t all that bad of an idea. It would allow people to blow off steam in a setting in which its warranted and allowed. Getting people to use though is another matter entirely 😛

Could be! It’d be hilarious if the models start acting like HAL 9000 if they get trained on Arthur C Clark 😛

Yep, the sequels are definitely on the list! Also added a bunch of old sci-fi and horror films from the 50s and earlier. I can also get the colorized version of Night of the Living Dead but I prefer to watch these types of films in their…[Read more]

Whelp. At least it works! Of course, you could read a book or two during that time. Just don’t read while sitting at the computer! 😀

So had my first Lorcana tournament yesterday and since I was still using the starter deck it went about as you would expect: I lost 😛

Working a new deck from scratch so hopefully the next one goes better 🙂

Starships use good old antimatter, which requires refined copper. Apparently, there are other ways to get it. I really need to explore unlockable blueprints at some point. Anyways! Some planets have more copper than others but it’s not too difficult to come across. Your vehicles on planet use carbon for fuel, which is their substitute for oil. And…[Read more]

As we know, I’m constantly doing research on a variety of things mostly related to circuits and other bits of science and came across this bit: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/surgex-zerosurge-brickwall-tripplite-or-what-kind-of-surge-protector-do-you-use.9205/

It was a pretty interesting read. My understanding is that the current into the…[Read more]

Finally got the chance to watch The Evil Dead and that was fun. Bruce Campbell’s acting was superb.

So this is very important in No Man’s Sky: in order to unlock the teleport point for a station, you must land on a moon, planet, or the station itself. When you warp into a system, you spawn right next to the station so I recommend taking five extra minutes to land on it. Forgot about that for a moment so now I need to go back a system and snag…[Read more]

Really need to rewatch Gotham at some point. It was really good!

Finally got to see Christine yesterday after it showed up on Tubi. Well worth the time but it did have some gaffes. For instance, Arnie stops wearing his glasses even though it was implied the car initiated behavioral changes as opposed to physical.

Great! I can definitely attest to the stuttering being fixed with the shader change. Did that back with the 260 and voila! Really should reinstall Oblivion one of these days.

Another item to add to our possible knowledgebase?

I do agree with some of the posts in that thread that it’d be nice to get better Source Engine updates. While it works,…[Read more]

Can definitely see about reviving things there. And definitely, a blog series is a good idea. 🙂 Will look into it!

Yeah, I’m able to run it at max settings on Windows without trouble. I only dropped the resolution down to 1080 as I got tired of listening to the fans 😛

Looks like this is a very old issue. Got some tips in there. I can say that…[Read more]

I’m probably going to need to start reconstructing the base soon. If you follow the initial instructions, you end up with a bit of a mess as you unlock the various base parts. Now that I’ve got a good selection of structures, I should probably start laying things out better. Going to take a lot of resources, though. Really need to start taking…[Read more]
