I’ve always had issues with hibernate. Back in the XP days, weird stuff would happen so I eventually quit using it. These days, Windows doesn’t even show the option unless you do some magic. Wouldn’t be too terribly surprised if they phase it out altogether by W14
How do you turn the system back on in sleep mode? Press the power button, I take it? Or did you turn it off for hibernate?
While you’re messing around in the UEFI settings, you may want to turn on the virtualization features to improve performance in stuff like DOSBox. 🙂
It’ll definitely require a plugin due to the scripting but we can certainly add it to the wishlist 🙂
Yep, Peanuts has some great tunes!
We’re missing Pink Floyd:
Saw From Beyond yesterday and really enjoyed it but the S&M bits seemed like they were randomly thrown into the mix. It was a weird section.
Yeah, Apple has exclusive rights to it here. Hopefully it’ll be going into the public domain soon.
It really picks up with the second film when Jason starts his rampage. Of course, the films get sillier with each one released 😛
Rewatched Hospital Massacre the other day after seeing it as part of a slasher marathon OTA years ago. Still pretty meh. 😛
Yep, will need an external disc drive. Sadly, a lot of systems are forgoing drive bays now. Not really sure why as they’re incredibly useful. They also take less space on the desk than all these external hubs we now need as we keep running out of USB ports 😛
Yep, Chrome. The tablet didn’t come with a browser at all, it was pretty bare bones but there were no bones about it. Yeah, haven’t had any issues on the desktop at all with the cache. I used to clear it after every session but haven’t done that in ten years and haven’t noticed any slowdowns like I thought there’d be.
Could be! Definitely not a setting in the online database. In the past, it was much different! It was basically just a checklist of each card and where they came from. Of course that was twenty years ago so things have changed 😛
I’d recommend Duel Links if you’re looking to learn. It’s a free condensed version available on mobile and the computer which has various auto-play features (they’re optional) to hold your hand making it a great way to learn the basics. I used to play it to stay in practice when I wasn’t able to go to the shop to play the non-digital game 🙂
🙁 The Internet Archive should hopefully have something! I was dusting off the files in my brain earlier this year and was saddened to find that many of the articles I was trying to pull up had gone offline. 🙁
Just don’t eat cereal in the morning or you’d be a cereal killer!
Still looking into adding the note but I’ve confirmed that the spoiler works on mobile by tapping the hidden text. Also, it looks like a plugin is required to add options to the editor for some reason. Will look into that! Surprised it’s not part of WordPress as it’s kind of a basic feature
Will need to play with it some to see if I can get the note added. It’s not letting me change the background color in the ::after style block but that may be due to something else. Not sure if it’s something I can fix or not but I’ll try!
No idea how to add it to the menu but I’ll do some reading on it. We may need a plugin for customization like that, though.
Almost twelve! But she doesn’t act like it! Sounds good! 🙂
Sorry! Meant the main database. The battery drain has always made it hard to look up information on the go. Haven’t played Master Duel yet but I’ve been meaning to. Have you played a card game like this before? I like them. I find that they give more variety than a game using playing cards 🙂
Really have no idea. It’s been hanging out in my Kobo recommendations for about a year now and, at first, it sounded like a young adult series so I passed on it. A few weeks ago (the books are long), I finally decided to give it a go and it was very different from what I thought it’d be. Haven’t read the interludes yet as I didn’t know about them. Kobo doesn’t usually include the offshoots in the series so it takes you from the main book to the next main one instead of breaking it up with the side stories. May read them after I’m done with the third book 🙂
Just implemented a basic spoiler tag!
<span class="stearnvault-spoiler">This is a spoiler</span>This is a spoiler
Hover over the black box with the cursor to reveal it. Will that work?
Yeah, adjusting the camera angle is an important feature. It really helps to see things that are blocked by other objects, even with the ghost outlines that a lot of games like to use.
Seen that with quite a few older games. Was pretty annoying when playing on newer versions of Windows as the notification feature would often trigger the weirdness, requiring either a restart of the game of alt-tabbing to bring back the focus lock. The method varied from game to game. It may have had to do with some focus lock features missing back then in Windows as it was so prevalent.
Coraline was fun. 🙂
Saw Sleepaway Camp II yesterday and it was a blast! Going to watch the third film next!
On a whim, I started reading a series called the Locked Tomb. Not sure why but it’s really good. It’s a bizarre mixture of mystery, science fiction, romance, horror, and fantasy. The first book is mostly a murder mystery but the second piles on the psychological horror. A lot of the humor in it comes from the wise-cracking protagonist. It’s definitely not for everyone due to it’s sometimes gruesome topic (think necromancers in space fighting remnants of Earth, the latter of which are using conventional weapons while the former use magic). It also looks at the age old question: what happens when you take a gun far into the futures where warfare has evolved past ballistic weapons?
Got a tip. The web cache on Android has always tended to bog down the phone as, being a smartphone, it’s intimately connected to the browser. What I like to do is use private browsing for all web use where possible so that the cache is cleared automatically when I’m done, keeping it from building up and requiring manual intervention. This tip probably applies to other smartphone platforms as well but I have no way of testing them at this time.
I had an idea on how to hack something together via CSS. I could set up a style for a custom class for the default to be black text on a black background and then use the hover pseudo-class to change the font to normal and remove the background color. On the user side, you’d need to wrap the stuff you want to denote as a spoiler in a span tag and add the class to the class attribute
Wouldn’t be as nice as the collapsible box we’re used to but should do in a pinch
Yep, that’s the one!
Went to watch it yesterday but, sadly, it’s behind a paywall. I had seen an article saying it’d be free for the season so I’ll check the information again. It’s possible I tried to watch it too early. I miss it being on OTA. 🙁
We watched Rain Man in my psych class and would pause it every so often to go over the events in the film. It worked pretty well! 🙂
Christopher Plummer’s usually pretty good, especially his older stuff. Will check it out!
Yep, saw it earlier this year! You didn’t miss a whole lot. 😛 Gorgeous scenery beset by a dull and senseless plot without any sort of information to help immerse you in the film. No real background or anything. If they had added on ten more minutes of set up, it would have been quite fun!
Saw the Friday the 13th reboot yesterday and it wasn’t anything to write home about. Not only did they shoehorn a missing persons plot in it which distracted from the basic premise of the series, they also changed Jason’s nature and relied a lot more on sex than the previous films.
I need to check out some of the horror-specific streaming services at some point. There may be one that catches the eye 🙂
Also rewatched the Nightmare Before Christmas the other day. That one’s always fun! May watch Coraline again soon 🙂
Why did the bees ask the bears to bee-leaving? They weren’t bee-lieving!
Last time I tried it, it spit out an error on starting up. Granted, that was the previous system where Windows has gotten messed up for various reasons after trying out the preview updates. Now that I have a working system, I really should give it another go. I’m sure things will work a whole lot better.
I also have The 7th Guest sitting around. I have no idea at all where it came from. I found it in my dad’s office several years ago and he has no recollection either. Wasn’t something I ever got and I had never seen it before and he doesn’t play games other than solitaire and mahjong. It’s a complete mystery!
I’m generally okay with that as I do sometimes play the full game if I like the trial period. Of course, a lot of times it’s too limited so you don’t get a good feel for things. I’d rather have something like a thirty day trial of the full game than an unlimited trial with limited features. Would be much better that way to see if I like it enough to pony up the money. These days, I think it’s mostly that I have trouble connecting with folks in the games but I’m not sure. I may just have to keep looking until I find the right one.
Yep! Also works for Chrome 🙂
