Looks like Lorcana has some potentially huge changes coming in a couple of weeks: https://lorcanaplayer.com/dual-ink-cards-changed-set-champs-prizing/
Will be talking to our organizers today. Can say that the new dual ink cars will cause a huge stir. How much of one depends on the effects of the new cards but it’ll be huge down the road. And I just retooled my deck yesterday 😛
Yeah, will try that soon. Just tried capping the frame rate in Adrenaline and it didn’t exactly go well. It caused a lot of lag, visual anomalies, and the game still crashed so I reset the setting back to the defaults. I may have to try switching the monitor’s refresh rate at some point. Assuming I don’t just give up and grab Fallout 4 first 🙁
Sad to see that a lot of those have simply been taken over by other larger outfits and redirected to their homepages. Sometimes, the new outfit is in a completely different market. For instance, xoom now redirects to PayPal’s payment service. I posted about this years ago on the former site and in a few of the IRC channels I frequented, but Archive.org saved much of GeoCities before it went dark: https://blog.archive.org/2009/08/25/geocities-preserved/
Good lists! Fun fact, you can still explore Reddit in the old style and Craiglist hasn’t changed very much since then 🙂
And, for those interested, Steam currently has the complete Wild Hunt edition for 10 USD. It’s tempting. Granted, I haven’t really played The Witcher games much. The first one felt strange in the animation department and the second felt weird on a keyboard and mouse.
I also found out that Beam.ng Drive has a learning mode on the ETK Testing map. 🙂
Read Dark Matter a couple of months ago. 🙂 It was pretty fun and I liked the bit in the chatroom that was essentially a callback to Bender’s Big Score when an infinite number of them start popping up before he kills the chatroom.
Also read Recursion a while back. Not his best book, honestly. Great characters and interaction but the premise didn’t make much sense. How they get to time travel from simple brain mapping was preposterous and never adequately explained.
Could be! The weather reports are kind of hard to read sometimes. For example: the low for a day is actually the lowest temperature it’ll be the next morning around 0500. Makes no sense! 😛
Have had everything covered since Monday and brought the potted plants inside. They’re probably missing the sunlight but it’s better than getting frozen. 🙂
I definitely agree with the responses over there: if the result doesn’t matter, just have fun with it! Personally, I would have just used the Kings to dance around the board instead of simply moving them back and forth. 😛
Got colder this morning than it was supposed to. It was only supposed to be 28 but wound up being 25. No matter, I do like the cold. 🙂
Here’s an interesting idea: in theory, a darker sheet should decrease the risk of freeze damage more than a lighter colored one as it’ll absorb more photonic energy. Definitely worth testing at some point.
The test would be pretty simple: get a collection of very sensitive plants and split them into three groups: a control and one each for the different sheets. Then we’d wait until Winter when it’s cold and below the minimum temperature. Next, we leave the control out without a sheet just to many sure they are indeed temperature sensitive and cover the other two groups with their sheets. We simply check them in a few days to see which ones have more damage. And to make sure we killed the control group
May have been a renewal hiccup. Now all of the subdomains are showing up as they should in the certificate information with the next renewal set for April. I know in the Linode, it would sometimes take a day or so for the renewal to complete. Never did figure out why. It occurred even when I would run the command manually
In any case, it’s good to be back. 🙂
We’ll plan to repeat the maneuver in three months 😛
Didn’t even notice that omission. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. It’s too bad hovercraft never took off, they were quite useful. The issue with wind was probably too big of a problem for them to have good staying power, though. Lakes and such get a lot of wind!
Just went on a Wiki journey and found out the DC did a Superboy TV show that I never heard about. Interestingly, it had quite a few Bond actors involved. Some of them aren’t listed on the main Wiki page, though, such as Richard Kiel. Totally different genre, too.
Yeah, the services over here have been trying to get me to watch it as well. I’ve got Cannonball Run on the list now. Watching Bond has me in the mood for Moore’s parody version 😛
So that’s what it’s called! Here’s a bit of a list of credits for what the piece is used in: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006309/ It’s used a lot!
Will see if I can catch them over here!
Still making my way through the Bond films. Hit the Roger Moore era the other day. It’s quite different from the Connery era but I like it for its cheesiness. The critics didn’t like it so much but they’re looking at quality, I’m not. I’m looking at fun value 😛
Read Blake Crouch’s Run the other day. It was a brutal book and only recommended if you’re in the mood for something that gets the heart pounding. It’s really heavy.
Working on prepping for the upcoming cold blast. Weather report is not consistent with precipitation. The weekly forecast says 20% but the hourly says 80% so it’s pretty confusing. Need to make sure I round up all my blankets and heaters and then I also need to get the plants covered up. Originally wasn’t going to worry about it but the forecasted temps aren’t looking as good as they were the other day. Only 27F for two days but the precipitation is what has me worried.
That was around 2016 or so? Something like that. Unfortunately, I no longer have the space for several screens 🙁 The fix was to move the HUD to the center monitor and adjust the FOV in the INI file. The issue was a sluggish UI that went away when only a single monitor was used. After making those adjustments, the game worked pretty normally. 🙂
I think the LAA flag needs to be used like Skyrim with a wrapper but I haven’t looked into it yet. Will get there, though! Just been a tad slow lately 🙂
Cool! Didn’t even realize that Angelfire was owned by them. They used to be abundantly but you don’t see may Angelfire sites anymore. Social media has mostly devoured the web 🙁
You can also disable the generation of that file entirely! Just note that the policy editor doesn’t come with the basic versions of Windows. Wish it did as I use it to disable some of the other Windows annoyances.
Sounds like it’s something with some of the embedded ads. 🙁
Yeah, dealer fees are a bit insane. Unfortunately, we have laws that prevent manufacturers from running their own dealers so that the individual dealers don’t get priced out. Yep, the dealers lobbied for such treatment. And, if you try to special order something, it can get complicated. And let’s not forget the zebra fee! They need to get the horsepower from somewhere 😛
That’s one way of doing it! We could also go with one of the various vehicles designed by Dr Seuss! 😀
While we’re on the subject, here’s an oddly thorough list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_vehicles
Sorry, been tired again. Probably just trying to take on too much.
Anyways! Yeah, let’s try to contact them. Dave did say I could use a fork but didn’t have the details handy so that may be permission from him on that front.
Without a license in the code, it means that anyone who wants to work on our version, even though we got permission, would have to ask us, Nimrod, and Dave. We can license any new code, however, but any other code, changed or original, is still without a license. I’m not sure of how retroactive relicensing works off the top of my head but Dave doesn’t seem inclined to go back to the original repo to correct the error (don’t blame him: it’s set up with CVS and the world has mostly moved on from that). So, the only code explicitly under a license currently is the GUI shell, which I’d like to swap out with GTK down the road anyways if I wind up being able to work with GTK (never tried, honestly). Yeah, things get complicated in open source world!
I don’t care how crappy the aerodynamics are, this car looks awesome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delahaye_135
Most cars these days lack originality in their designs! They all look the same! Except for the ones that cost five digits. Granted, even those use practically the same design: a rounded triangle 😛
Fun fact: we have a lone Caterham dealer in the state
Will update the other thread later but it looks like my charging issues are related to a wonky outlet. Lamp worked but the chargers didn’t. Now the chargers work on that outlet so it sounds like it wasn’t putting out enough current or voltage. Going to need to get it tested. Could do it myself but I don’t want to risk shocking myself on a live outlet. It’s fine when I’m working on smaller circuits but I’ll leave the big ones to the experts. 😛
Not sure I can get it here but will take a look 🙂
Haven’t seen it in a few years so I’m going to get Dr Strangelove on the list for a rewatch. It’s an incredible film!
Okay, just did some digging to try and clear up what happens when a license isn’t applied and came across this post. Basically, even though Dave intended the original to be Apache or MIT but, since he didn’t explicitly mention the licenses in the project, we can’t go ahead and use Nimrod’s fork because they didn’t apply a license to their own work as they weren’t required to since Dave didn’t require it, even if it was unintentional. We already have permission from Dave to work with all of his code but we’ll need Nimrod’s as well if we want to work with their code. If not, we’d need to redo the work that they’ve already done. Hopefully that clears things up a bit 🙂
This came in the other day: https://boingboing.net/2025/01/12/synchronized-ice-skaters-dressed-as-giant-ice-skates.html
😀
The main quest is only eight hours long but it has been confirmed that an expansion is in the works. 😛
Yeah, the Scream films are fun. Lot of great satire in them, too! Haven’t seen many past 3 or so. The newest and oldest ones are available but not the middle ones and I don’t like skipping installments 🙁
Another candidate for physical media? Our OTA offerings in Florida aren’t as good as, say, New York. 😛
That repository looks better but there isn’t a license associated with the code. Any way we can contact them to see about getting permission to use their fork?
Yeah, we can use the project files to extract the includes and add them into the C++ source. That’s what I did with the BOSS code. 🙂
Still need to finish setting up my Geany workspace. Some that is done on a per-project basis, though, so part of it will need to wait until we finalize which repo we’re going to use. Geany is pretty manual oriented 😛
Dave also has a few other projects that could be worth exploring down the road: https://github.com/uesp/obedit and https://github.com/uesp/tes4lib along with https://github.com/uesp/skyedit and https://github.com/uesp/tes5lib
The former looks like a GUI shell but it may use the latter. Not sure, haven’t looked at the code yet. Definitely something to look into later, though.
Edit:
Looks like Nimrod has done a lot of the updating I had in mind. Excellent. That definitely would help if we can use their fork.
Edit 2:
It may only be worth doing the bare minimum on the VS project files since they’ll be generated during configuration by CMake or Meson when we get to that step. 🙂
Took a closer look at all three code repos just now. There are definitely some missing files. Should I ask Dave about them? That would explain why I haven’t been able to follow the newest repo, such as the IO operations. The newest one appears to be mostly the GUI implementation and not the backend stuff.
Started watching the Fallout series on Prime the other day to get my Fallout fix in until I’m able to get something working on the computer (been a little bit busy with a slightly different project….:P). It’s really good! They did an incredible job capturing the spirit and atmosphere of the games and is a blast to boot!
Fun fact: under “Related Shows,” the first item on the list? Silo on Apple tv+. Even Amazon agrees! 😛
