Ah, the Gong Show. A classic! π
Need some Queen in here:
π
Haven’t run across the Plasmatics before! Surprised they didn’t use their videos to help promote plasma TVs. Would have been quite fun! π
Here’s a good one that just cropped up in my YouTube feed:
Symphonic metal is quite soothing!
Sadly, the updates over here automatically install and there’s no way to tell it to wait a while so that they can get the kinks worked out first π
Will be interested in your experience with it! Been thinking about upgrading at some point anyways since it’s pretty handy for researching and the like π
Yuck. Could be a bad SIM slot in the new tablet
Will look out for it!
Yuck. A lot of people falsely believe that microwaves break down the nutrients even though it’s been disproven. It’s something they don’t teach you in health class, even though they cover healthy eating. Bit of a weird omission
Silent Scream was okay. Not much depth to it and the plot was pretty shallow but some of the acting was fun. Overall, I’d give it a C but not enough to watch again π
Perfect. Thanks! They could have made that clearer! I do lose weather information, which was helpful, but don’t miss the news ticker. π
Sounds good. No hurry! My tools came in the other day, just haven’t had a chance to get things sorted yet. Will get there! Also need to see if some reading glasses help with the eyestrain I’ve been experiencing. π
Yeah, could be the CDN doing something or it could even be something like an embedded media post not being able to load. That’ll also do it
Is there a way to disable the news ticker on the Windows taskbar? In finding it quite distracting and tend to glance at it. I’ve looked around in the various settings but couldn’t find it. I’ve always had difficulty finding my way around Windows, which is part of why I mostly use Linux π
Yuck. The latest update to OneUI 6 is a huge battery drain and has some serious performance issues (pretty noticeable on mine since it’s a basic model). Battery drain has doubled and the UI is much slower since they pushed it out. Hopefully they release a hot fix at some point π
Entertainment Earth (a Sideshow competitor with a lot more stuff) had some too, at one point. Nothing recent, though. Power Girl doesn’t get enough publicity π
At one point, xkcd was linking to Indexed but that link was removed sometime in the last fifteen years. Wonder if they had a falling out?
There’s another idea: all the happenings on Earth are the results of spirits of past civilizations playing out pranks! π
The other films that are planned have been trapped in development hell for a long time but they do have a game coming out!
Beginning to run out of slashers on Tubi so I’ll be moving to science fiction soon. Probably should rewatch the Brain that wouldn’t Die again. That was a fun one!
I don’t think so, it’s mostly just research right now. They’re using it to play with quantum states and that sort of thing. Not much but baby steps! π
Yep, that’s the one! I could order the cover but it’s probably not worth spending an extra 5 USD in addition to the cover price just for it, no matter how much I like it π
Sideshow has a couple!
π
Have you ever seen This is Indexed? They do witty graphs! Been enjoying them for decades!
I somehow missed the terahertz revolution in science, it looks like….
The shop didn’t order the snowman cover for Power Girl. Makes me sad. π
They do tend to be hit or miss on the event related covers so I always pick a back up if I’m not a big fan of the main cover in case they didn’t order the event ones. I may need to ask them how they decide which ones to order sometime
Yep, scale is always an issue. Maybe one day the issues will be solved!
Over here, quick release isn’t very popular as people tend to steal the tires. Bit of a problem in the US. π
Wheel of Fortune is just a “Fill in the blanks” Periodic Table! A take home version, if you will. π
Night of the Lepus was hilarious! In one part, a guy in a bunny costume launches himself at another guy, hugging him. The costumes didn’t even look real π
Death Spa was a lot of fun. If you ever want to open a gym, it’s good viewing for what not to do. No parties in the workout room, for instance! π
Yeah, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was the best one of the three “Dollars” films. Bit of a long one, though, with a few scenes that don’t really add anything. In the OTA version, they usually cut out that fluff π
Have you seen Killer Klowns from Outer Space yet? It’s great!
No bunny park!? But we need the Killer Wabbit!
Or Fudd:
π
Will look out for those!
You’ll probably want to skip The Majorettes. Funnily enough, the critical response section echoes my sentiments exactly. About an hour into the film, it makes a detour with a brand new plot in the same film and starts up a short thirty minute action film after finishing the slasher film with the same characters. It was weird. In it, the hero is an amazingly good shot with a machine gun and never misses!
Sounds good π
It was the demo, actually. Haven’t played the sequels or remake yet but they’ve been on my wish-list forever, along with a host of other games…. π
Never played a Larry game but I’ve heard they’re a hoot!
Still enchanted by Japanese music:
The style is completely different from that in Europe and over here and I quite like it. Blend of pop and metal and it works beautifully! π
Lovely! Last one is region locked, though π
While we’re on the subject, found this way down in the sidebar and it’s a blast from the past!
I seriously need to play Homeworld again π
Saw a few episodes of Avatar but it’s been close to fifteen years since. Not sure I have access now but worth checking. I did enjoy the few episodes I saw π
Yep, Mars Attacks was a fun one even if the human side of things left a little to be desired. π
We come in peace! We mean you no harm! *pew pew* π
Alright, got Night of the Lepus in the queue now. Finally after ten years. This weekend! π
They still did when I last took the train to visit my aunt in another state fifteen years ago. Of course, that was an overnighter so luggage compartments were expected. They were on the outside, though, on each carriage and only gave you enough room under the seat for a duffel. Would have liked an actual compartment inside so I wouldn’t need to worry as much about my bag but such as it is. π
Too bad folding bikes aren’t more popular. The ones I’ve seen have been quite cool: able to become nice and tiny to fit in the seat next to you. They would solve a lot of problems!
And, of course, Family Land makes an appearance! π
The idea of FilterWorld makes me think of a post in Nature I read yesterday. Someone went to describe how the Universe is a result of compounding of several different events, using silliness as examples, and how we’d live in a different Universe entirely if the seemingly pointless events never happened. He focused on silliness to make a point and I think just because it made it a lot more fun π
The Lightning Temple was a lot of fun. It had this whole Egyptian pyramid motif with traps and such and even included some Indiana Jones references. It had you running away from a boulder down a tunnel and instead of the snake chamber it had a gibdo chamber π
Great!
Wish we had SD card slots still but they no longer ship that configuration to the American market. It makes me sad. They were very useful for handling things like photos taken on the go and other things. π
Yeah, I’d feel nervous about performing that type of surgery too. Don’t want to mess things up!
π
We have that feature! Shift + Esc brings up a detailed Task Manager with all kinds of statistics! You can right click on the header for even more information. Pretty useful at times π
Yeah, embedding takes up quite a few resources on the client side. The music thread is using 125MB! Outside of limiting how much stuff to post, the best solution would be to limit how much of the content is embedded with the others just showing up as links. Not ideal but does help to a large degree
