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, things have gotten a bit stale with it not keeping up tech-wise.

🙁
Fortunately, we still have Ars Technica. Hopefully, for a while more.
Pretty sure they’re just archiving the articles for now. Granted, they’ll be shutdown eventually but hopefully they’ll be backed up somewhere by then. A lot of it will be out of date, though. I suspect people will carry on the spirit in there as long as they’re accessible. 🙂
Just don’t try making toast in there! Who knows what the crumbs will do to the drives 😛
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 the shader package renaming did make my game run smoother on my old GTK 260.
And an old Anand thread for more information. That’s the conflict I was referring to, I think.
Toasted HDDs anybody? 😛
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 screenshots to share!
Whelp. My settlement in NMS farms dirt. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any systems that want it. They will only buy it for 40% or less below market value. 😛
Taking a break from hunting down Atlas to work on my base and explore the systems I’ve already visited. My fleet has grown by a ship, too. 🙂
And another Python classic:
Sorry for the low video quality!
ROTOR, Turkey Shoot, and Brainscan were all fun if you enjoy B-movies
Could be some driver bugs. I know the ones Microsoft ships are sometimes hit or miss. Have you tried downloading any updated ones from HP or the component manufacturers? You also may want to check the monitor manufacturer’s site. Granted, monitors are usually fine with the generic one shipped with Windows
Cool! Really wish we could get similar experiences here in Florida. Disney and Universal need to take note!
Right now, they’re pretty general. You can catch sharks, mud crabs (but not giant mud crabs), eels and the like. Interestingly, you can catch the same ones everywhere in the Universe but there are ones specific to planet types such as fish that can only be caught on very hot planets. Really hope it gets expansion in the future as it’s a great concept.
Never heard of it either! Jack definitely seemed to have lived an interesting life before passing
Yeah, I always wear earmuffs when using the mixer. It gets loud! Especially when I’m whipping up egg whites or cream. Ten minutes of that is pure torture!
In theory, one could make an in-wall mixer. Would be much quieter and would like quite nice. Wonder why nobody has taken the plunge yet?
😀
Haven’t made pumpernickel yet. Probably should at some point since I quite like it!
In the mood for making something a little bit more adventurous. Any ideas?
Excellent idea! We can look at starting up our own list for Walrus Stuff! 😀
On that note: etckeeper is a life saver when doing server updates as it lets you compare changes between software versions and quickly get back up and running when something breaks in the configuration files.
NMS added fishing a few weeks ago. It’s pretty cool but the skiff they added is pretty basic. There’s no good way to get on it other than jetpacking and it’s a bit of a hassle to move while you’re on it. Hopefully they improve it!
Despite a lot of folks calling them dead formats (they’re not and still have good uses), 4k Blu-Ray discs and SACDs are still widely available. The latter is mostly available from specialty stores but there’s quite a selection!
Quite fond of Sin City. Picked up the graphic novel last year and it’s pretty enjoyable. It uses mostly sketch art instead of traditional comic art and is also in black and white, giving it an interesting look. It really worked out rather well
Saw Demon Seed yesterday and the plot made zero sense! It wasn’t even the fun kind of bewildering. It was just… bizarre
Okay, here’s a more public article: https://www.foodandwine.com/kitchenaid-evergreen-stand-mixer-fall-launch-8714173
Sorry about that!
Sorry, most of the critical articles from bakers are paywalled. I’ll try to find a better one. The gadget sites rave about its looks but the people who actually use it are wholly against it.
The plot thickens! I just did a bit of a dive and they just removed the link from the site, the pages still exist. The quickly thrown together Wikipedia article from information gleaned from the paywalled article says it was due to permitting and construction worker shortages but, again, I haven’t been able to find any other articles and no official statements. Based on this, I think it’s fair to say that they may be keeping the door open and would still like to get something off the ground. Would really help if I could read the news article in full or even get another source of information, though
Not too surprising as they made very little progress on it but I was really looking forward to it.
Blech. Another paywall. I’ll try to find some public articles when I have time. Sorry!
Interesting, that’s the only article I can find on it at all. Weird.
I understand the point they’re making but the seed vault is still better than doing nothing at all. If we don’t have it, we’re definitely more likely to have issues than without it. That said, one option is to move it to a more favorable location. How? Easy! We have a little known place quite nearby that doesn’t suffer from anything other than cosmic radiation called the Moon. If we dig down and shield things, that may be a good option. Of course, it would need regular support runs to keep the systems topped off and maintained but, with the planned moon base, that may be doable. Granted, it’s more of a long term idea and a lot of infrastructure would need to be constructed but it may be a solid option.
Also: Zoidberg plush!
So, yeah, this thing was announced: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2024/09/kitchenaid-evergreen-mixer-status-symbol/679896/
Highly impractical and expensive. For the same price, you may as well get an Ank and have a much better mixer.
Apologies for the paywall!
Always been a big fan of Columbo over here. It has been a while since I’ve seen it so I may go ahead and watch it again. Looks like Tubi has it!
Saw this B-movie. Wasn’t intended to be a comedy but the acting was so bad that it wound up being hilarious. Those are some of the best ones!
Pretty sure I mentioned The Woods several years but when and where I saw it eludes me so it may have been around 2018 or so. Gave it another watch the other day as I recalled it fondly and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
And finally got around to watching The Changeling. In short, it was a masterpiece. Highly recommended if you like ghost stories
Interesting, but completely useless, tidbit of information: Melbourne, Australia and Fairbanks, Alaska are currently experiencing the exact same weather with roughly the same temperature and precipitation. Why, yes, I did get a little bit bored. 😛
