Switchblade Sisters was pretty fun. Good bits of humor scattered throughout to lighten up the tone but the fight scenes weren’t well choreographed. Lots of unskilled flailing of fists 😛

Didn’t realize Jeffery Dean Morgan did a whole lot outside of TV shows.

Got Sleeper on the list. Pretty sure I’ve seen bits and pieces of it but that’s okay!…[Read more]

I’ve never had much luck with QR codes myself. Often, the autofocus craps out right as the camera is trying to snap the code. Haven’t tried with other applications, though. And these devices are supposed to make our lives a little less frustrating! 😛

Great! Hopefully the testing notes mean you won’t need to return it any time soon 🙂

At some point, I’ll probably wind up with an NAS. Still need to do a lot of tidying up before one can go on the wish-list. Also need to find a place to stash the Thelio box until the warranty is up. The box is huge! 😛

Rigs of Rods looks like an interesting driving simulator. Depending on how accurate its physics are, it could be a useful training tool. Will need to download it at some point to find out.

Added the main sites for some of the games to the first post. Tried to get the global URLs but the one for the Pokemon card game is region based. Will need to do some digging to see if I can track down the global URL.

Started adding Lorcana to the first post. 🙂

Use Bash myself though I know a lot of people these days love C Shell or even Zsh. Probably need to give C shell a whirl one day. 🙂

I remember years ago when I was first learning about how computers work I was having trouble on Windows 95 getting the disc drive to work properly with some games. Support had me use XCOPY to copy the disc to the…[Read more]

Yeah, tracking down manuals for older products can be hard! It’d be nice if the manufacturers kept an archive for them but not all of them do, sadly. For my turntable, I had to grab it from a third-party site even though Thorens is still going strong.

Looks pretty straightforward: just a matter of popping open the compartment and slotting it in.…[Read more]

Fortunately, we still have Ars Technica.

Been a while so I had to reacquaint myself with how Windows works…

Looks like that’s a limitation in Windows. The Windows tools only have the ability to create a 32 GB volume but the OS has no problem recognizing and working with it up to its maximum size of 16 TB. In order to go above 32 GB, you’ll need to use a different tool or file system.…[Read more]

Awesome! On farms, they’re using flying bots equipped with lasers to blast weeds. Or at least they’re in development.

Here are the old ones if you want to catch up! Lots of interesting stuff on Textfiles!

The Register is fun. They put a slightly humorous spin on their stories. It definitely keeps things interesting 😛

Did some poking around and…[Read more]

While Lorcana doesn’t have an official database, there’s a pretty good fan site that helps to fill in the blanks: https://dreamborn.ink/

Finally got around to watching the Lawnmower Man (director’s cut) yesterday. Highly recommended even if the reviews have it at 37%. 🙂

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!
