Okay, got it enabled. At some point, we may want our own icon that fits better with the color scheme. 🙂

Good to know. 🙂

We should harness the heat from volcanoes for practical purposes. Many metals can withstand the temperatures so there’s no reason not to!

[Spastic Hamburger]

And fixed! I changed it to a brownish/greyish color. Hopefully it stands out as hidden that way 🙂

We’ve got most of the styles now. Or at least I think so. I may combine the two style areas into one as it’s getting difficult to switch back and forth to find the right stuff

[Spastic Hamburger]

That’s a rather complicated migration procedure! Couldn’t they just migrate the settings over and then disable the old portal…? They’ve done it before!

[Spastic Hamburger]

On a related note, I’ve noticed that email notifications have been hit or miss the last couple of days. I’ll check the settings when I get the chance but I suspect we may need to wait for updates upstream. It sounds like some issues with the notification code :/

[Spastic Hamburger]

The style pack has an option to denote which threads have read/unread posts. Shall I turn it on?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Will do! Maybe a grey hue will work. Will try it! 🙂

I also need to sync up the login box when you’re logged out at the bottom. Just noticed it the other day as I usually use the login bar 😛

On one of my older systems, I missed some plastic on the video card and had to remove the film after it was already in the case. I took a page out of MacGyver’s book and took a paperclip, unfolded it, and then attached a piece of tape to the end. Worked like a charm!

There was no packing inside the case, which was a bit odd, but was well packed on the exterior. Would have been nice to see some foam stabilizers on the inside to keep things from moving about.

Yep, it was shipped by way of one of our main carriers and was insured. They’re going to send out a new one while I send back the damaged one and they’ll file a damage claim 🙂

They were concerned about motherboard damage when I showed them the situation so they didn’t want me to even try to mess with it

Yep, these things do happen but they seem to happen more often with me. 😛

All in all, I’ve been impressed with how their support is handling the situation and the transparency. 🙂

Mostly cleared and explored that area! Still need to find the last shrine and complete the other one, which I’ll do later. Just wasn’t in the mood for it 😛

I love how hidden cave entrances are now marked with Blupees (a blue spirit/rabbit thing that gives money when struck). Makes it much easier to explore!

And I got the Hylian shield! It was incredibly easy: all I did was summon a boat and then lit a pyre. Voila!

[Spastic Hamburger]

We need a show about literal clowns that develop a space program. Why? Why not! 😀

[Spastic Hamburger]

The computer arrived but it’s going to be awhile before it’s up and running. The video card isn’t seated correctly (I suspect a mounting bracket got jostled during shipping) so I’ve reached out to support to see how they want me to proceed. There’s irony in this: I went with a vendor as I always have issues building them myself.

[Spastic Hamburger]

Amazing! Sounds just like a bird!

Had a new one crop up in my YT feed:

Absolutely love it!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Rewatched the Toxic Avenger the other day and it’s a blast! 😀

And caught Dead & Buried yesterday and it was quite good!

[Spastic Hamburger]

😛

Sorry, was referring to these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_(journal) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_(journal) 🙂

Cool! Wish we still had catalogues like that but they mostly stopped about fifteen years ago. I miss them as they were quite fun 🙁

Sure! Would provide more atmosphere! 😀

Yep, Doctorow has some intriguing ideas. Used to read him on Boing Boing back when he was a regular contributor.

xkcd used to have some fun with him, too 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Another nice feature to have would be to be able to see which posts we’ve read but, yeah, it’d be nice to get the notifications working correctly 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Good that it’s known about. Hopefully they can get it fixed in the next update! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

And done!

Sorry, the most recent one was in the comments on the blog. I can increase the rounding some more, too, and can certainly add more more rounding elsewhere 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I may need to ask them on their forums if I decide I don’t like Pop OS

Nice list! Will keep it handy!

Yeah, if it weren’t for the poor VR support, I’d probably try forgoing Windows entirely. I also may need to install the drivers for the fan controller.

Hopefully *nix VR support will reach feature parity with Windows soon!

We definitely need to get something cooking! On that note, we’ll probably want an ideas thread at some point 🙂

It’s got two 1 TB NVM drives. I plan on putting Windows on one and *nix on the other so that should help. I don’t use a whole lot of space, generally, so hopefully that will be enough. Sounds good, will look into the health reports 🙂

I always try to turn off autosaving with applications and games partly to reduce wear and tear on the drive but coding has a lot of writes due to the nature of it so splitting up the use of the drives should help somewhat 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Nice!

Most of the special landmarks in the area have been taken over by the enemy! We need some spoiler tag support or similar 😛

I’m currently trying to liberate the Old Man’s hut, which is a bit difficult. The Yiga clan has barricaded the area so you’re fighting in a cramped space. I’ll drive them out! Just going to take a few lives! 😛

It’s a Logitech G502. My previous mouse was a G9. I quite like it: it’s nice and big for my large hands and only has the buttons I need and no more. I’ll probably get the same model when I replace it 🙂

I had a mouse break on me in the middle of using it once. Not fun! 🙁

Yeah, I’m not sure. The main thing I was thinking of was seeing if it boots properly and then runs correctly from the image. If so, that does narrow things down a bit. Have you done any BIOS or firmware upgrades recently?
