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 🙂
My phone doesn’t like the Yu-Gi-Oh card database. Whenever I browse it, it really saps the battery. 🙁
Could be! My biggest concern is placement. Still doing some reading on it so I’m not yet sure how practical the idea is.
Cool!
Bill Nye is a big fan of solar sails! They’ve been doing a lot of work on them lately 🙂
Could be! Nifty preview feature. Nice to have! 🙂
Got my dog a couple of cow hooves the other day and she loves them. Put one in the living room and one in the bedroom and she prefers the one in the bedroom for some reason. The other night, she was chewing on it while I was trying to sleep 😛
From my understanding, beef is the meat so calling it beef-tail would imply that your steak has a tail coming out of it. 😛
Sounds delicious!
Yep, got it! The ingredients and equipment discussion are actually in the back right before the index. And after the technical discussion about how everything interacts. Weird placement! After the forward, it has twenty pages or so of pictures of selected cakes in the book and then dives right in with the recipes after a few pages of basic tips on how to work with the various cake types. Looking forward to trying them out! Need to pick up some ingredients, though. I haven’t made a cake since the ingredient shortages started a couple years ago. I had switched to more economical goods like muffins and the like so I could stretch them further.
Here you go! Or a bread mummy! But bread’s mummy is really wheat and yeast. Which one is dad? It’s a good question!
Several years ago, scientists found that yeast from bread in the pyramids was still living after thousands of years. Of course, they made bread from it to see what would happen 😛
I’ll see if I can dig up the article!
Magnetic Fusion Plasma Engines Could Carry us Across the Solar System and Into Interstellar Space
We’re getting there! Though, I still feel that the future of propulsion lies in non-conventional methods and utilizes quantum states
Edit:
Why is the link being displayed as a preview…? Is that a new feature introduced recently? Didn’t see it in the release notes of it is
Looks like they’re still working on EE support. Will keep an eye on it!
First one works now!
Sounds like my dog when she snores 😛
Scream 2 had better satire but the first film had more depth to the characters. Overall, they were both very good films.
I still need to watch Rainman again. Kind of got distracted watching all these goodies 😛
Looks like they’re region locked. Can’t view them over here 🙁
How ’bout some Jimi Hendrix?
So far, I’ve only managed to watch the first one. Haven’t had the chance to watch the other ones yet but I really enjoyed it!
Going to try and watch the Great Pumpkin soon. That’s always fun 🙂
Yeah, I haven’t the foggiest idea
Sorry, had been a bit busy with stuff around the home so I was a bit too pooped to get a whole lot of site work done
Could be a registry mix-up for the expansion not being detected. Have you checked there?
They also have active forums! Nice change from most places switching over to Discord 🙂
