    Been re-reading the Tintin stories lately and they never get old. Every few years or so, I pick one off my shelf and they’re delightful every time! 🙂

    That instrumental is quite relaxing!

    Sadly, Universal lost a large quantity of their archives in a fire 🙁

    And an old favorite!

    I also changed the Terra type to Bug to increase the damage output even further and it worked beautifully! Mewtwo is now mine! 😀

    in reply to: PrgLnch #1162

    Looks good! 🙂

    Better than having to dig up an old book just to be chased around by a homicidal mummy! 😛

    in reply to: PrgLnch #1159

    Sounds good 🙂

    The first post still has some artifacts from where it was copied over from AFK. Would you like to look at brushing the sand off them?

    Looks like gcstar development has started up again. Hopefully it can get added back to the package repositories. I hate managing dependencies manually as it can get difficult to track which packages belong together. I generally try to avoid that route unless I need to build a library from source for a project I’m working on

    The other option is tellico but it uses Qt and we know how I feel about the Qt toolkit. 😛

    Working on cleaning up the files from the wiki data. I only have the Server folder left to go. Shouldn’t take long to finish but I need to quit for the day. Should hopefully have it finished up by the end of the week 🙂

    Inserting emoji on Linux isn’t exactly intuitive. Ctrl + Shift + E brings up an “e” in the text area. At first, I thought it was just a letter but if you hit Space, it brings up the emoji menu. You can also type in the command for the emoji after the “e” before the space to automatically select it. You still need to click on it to confirm, though. They should make it more obvious 😛

    Good to know. Have you tried the Enhanced versions? I wonder if they fix some of the quirks.

    Do they mean that the original plays nicer with mods or that mods improve it more than they would the Enhanced version?

    They are on the list! 🙂

    So Mewtwo is hard! I’ve only found two Pokemon that are actually able to survive a battle with it: Spiritomb and Mew. The latter was released just for the event and has some special properties to let it handle Mewtwo while the former is Dark/Ghost so is immune to almost all of Mewtwo’s moves save for Ice Beam, which doesn’t do a whole lot of damage even on a level 50 Spiritomb (I am wondering what’ll happen if I level it up to 100. That may be just the ticket). So far, I haven’t won yet but I have bumped Mew up to 100, taught it Swords Dance, X-Scissor (it has 15 PP and 80 attack so it’s a good option), Leech Life (recovery with 80 attack and 10 PP), and struggle bug (50 attack and 20 PP) to get Mew to terra so I can use the other moves to maximum effect. I use the last one first so I don’t run out of available moves during the long battle. Once I’ve terraed, I use Swords Dance three times to max out Mew’s attack and then hit it with the other two. It works pretty well but I still haven’t been able to win yet. I think it’s only a matter of time, though!

    Another thing to try would be to see if it exists in another WebKit/Blink-based browser. Since I don’t get it in Chrome, it could very well be an uncaught exception or some other bug in Edge

    in reply to: ERR_CACHE_MISS #1145

    Have you tried Firefox? It uses a different rendering engine than Safari/Edge/Chrome etc so it may help isolate the problem. I haven’t had the issues myself with Chrome but it could be something related to how other software is interacting with the browser

    in reply to: Site Info (Deprecated: iiNet) #1141

    This will probably be worth waiting until the move to determine but do we know what the RAM and CPU allocation for the site will be? It’ll help us determine how many and what kind of plugins we can install without running into issues.

    But they still need to worry about getting punched in the face! Most uncomfortable! 😛

    Superheroes seem to cause a lot of collateral damage, even when they’re just combatting the forces of nature 😛

    I remember getting a card for free game time, I think it was for three months, with a computer of mine twenty years ago for the second game. Never used it for some reason, even though I did try WoW (wasn’t my cup of tea: too much grinding). I’m really surprised that they’re both still online. They definitely don’t do a whole lot of advertising so it makes me wonder how people find out about the games.

    Speaking of games, I’m still trying to determine what I like now. Been so long that I’m not really sure what kinds of games interest me. 😛

    If the bag is pure plastic, then it can usually be dropped off at a grocery store. I always wash out the recyclables with soap and water first to reduce contamination at the plant.

    Old fashioned candy stores can be fun! We don’t have any where I live but other cities in the state do. Really brings a feal of nostalgia!

    😀 Have you thought about setting up a dog bed for him there? He sure seems to enjoy that spot!

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1133

    I really should watch Flash Gordon again. It’s a lot of fun!

    Making progress. Slow but the research is going well. Just having a bit of a difficult time transitioning back into work mode is all.

    The Serial class lets us pass the port name to the constructor that we want to connect to. In order to find it, we’ll need to check it against the device’s identifier. I haven’t found a table yet for the IDs but there should be one somewhere.

    Additionally, it may make more sense to start out with the Wi-Fi module as this process will probably different. Something to think about!

    Long term, we’ll want to come up a long-range way of communication. RF is the obvious choice but that’s always rife with issues such as interference.

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #1130

    Sounds good. 🙂

    I’m kind of waiting for the BuddyPress update to land before I start playing around with groups as the next major version changes some of the permissions so things may work differently in a few weeks

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #1129

    Three of them and what I did was use the daisy-chaining feature of DisplayPort to clean up the mess of cables. Nice and tidy! 🙂

    Yep, that’s the one!

    in reply to: Random #1126

    Huh, looks like EverQuest is still online. Don’t know why I thought of it last night as I never did play it

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #1125

    Weird. I can understand keyboards doing that if they’re a membrane but a mouse shouldn’t be affected unless it’s got a pad under the button!

    Yep. I get the lights overhead flickering if I also run the microwave! 😛

    One laptop has W10 and cannot be upgraded to 11 for being too old while the other one is currently on W11. I haven’t had the chance to check the video ports since the new monitor was setup but will do so! The newest laptop may only support USB-C monitors, I’d need to check. The new monitor doesn’t use it and likes DisplayPort for access to all of its features. 🙂
