Oh, yeah. That jazz is great!
Nowadays, most anime use pop. In the 2000’s, they went through a rock phase. Seems they change up their style every decade or so π
Our frogs get loud! It sounds like a racetrack some of the times π
Here’s one that’s kind of got an RPG vibe to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xk3AbQ0k6w
And here’s a fun cover of Eruption by Van Halen by one of my favorite Japanese groups.
I love what they’ve done with it!
Got another tip that probably holds true for any *nix setup: if you’re installing Windows alongside, then I recommend increasing the boot partition from 500 MB to either 750 MB or 1 GB. While 500 MB used to be okay (it’s been the standard for well over a decade), the boot files have grown to where you run low on space with just a few images and Windows. There’s also the option of changing the compression scheme for the *nix images to shrink them even more. I’ll pull that and share it when I reach that step π
I think I may uninstall (or try to) all of the various language packs that come along with GNOME. I only use the US English variety so I don’t see why I need the others installed. Unless, of course, they add viewing support. Going to need to check on things first
Definitely going slow but I’ve been rather slow lately. On the bright side, I should have the basics fixed up soon! π
Going to try and get Gramps tested out for you in a couple of days. π
Portal is a wonderful game! Been playing Portal 2 since I picked it up for less than a dollar on sale the other day. GladOS is pretty upset, to say the least!
Yeah, I missed out on Psychonauts too. I really need to change that one day!
We called them share links I think. π
Some of those sites are no more and I do miss them. π
Huh, never noticed that site before. Will definitely need to peruse their content some more. You can never have too much cowbell! π
So here’s another one from the vault (one of my earliest ones, in fact): https://web.archive.org/web/20080410072412/http://www.game-ism.com/?p=91
The original site the article was on is long gone but I managed to pull it up via the Internet Archive π
Haven’t seen John Wick yet but I’ve been meaning to! Yeah, their old films were fun! I have fond memories of Tango and Cash!
Looks like they also have some members only films you get with the subscription.
Not yet but I’ll definitely add it to the list! Big fan of those old ones!
Probably going to watch some more Tarantino films soon now that I’ve gotten in the mood. Pulp Fiction is always a fun one!
An unrelated film but similar in style is Sin City. Going to try and watch it again soon as it was really good!
Taking out a Hinox becomes insanely easy with the Biggoron Sword (base attack of 36) fused with a good material and it’s very easy to acquire. In the middle of Skull Lake in Akkala, there’s a chasm that takes you to the House of Bones. After you take down the Stalnox and other skeletons, the chest opens and gives you the sword. Then you can buy them with Poes from Bargainer Statues π
It should also be useful for taking down the Stone Talus by fusing it with a blunt material, giving you a high-powered hammer
Saw the first part of Kill Bill and it’s great! Going to watch part two soon but it’s Tarantino’s typical over the top and flamboyant style so it’s got a lot of good humor in it and is just an overall fun film π
Rewatched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and it’s still a blast. Highly recommended! π
Blech! We’re under a heat advisory for the next few days π
I got to thinking. Most computer cases have the hot swappable drive bays inaccessible from the outside, making them not very useful. Why don’t more of them have them accessible from the exterior of the case?
I also wonder if I can add an image to the Windows boot process. Right now, it’s just blank with the loading circle thing π
There’s a step missing in the article to repair the bootloader. In it, you reinstall the kernel but this resets the flags for the packages in the package manager so they’re no longer automatically cleaned up, causing the boot partition to fill up. I’ll reach out to support soon to see what the default settings should be so that I can correct it. π
Eventually, I’ll probably look at seeing if I can help update the steps on their end to include all this information since the docs are open source:)
The wild grapes are ready! They’re medium sized, deep red ones and delicious!
I’m a big fan of Qalculate and have been using it for years. It’s got tons of features and conversions that are incredibly useful! π
Good to know! Mine is a Creative SoundBlaster brand, I believe. Not entirely sure of the exact model, though. I haven’t really messed with it since 2010. It used to belong to my dad… π
Haven’t experienced issues with VR yet! There was another driver update released the other day, though, so I may install it. Since VR is a newish thing, it’s probably a good idea to stay on top of the driver updates π
It booted okay today so not really sure why it was taking a minute or two to sort out the line for a couple of days. /shrug
Probably going to need to reach out on the Linux forums about the audio. A cursory look at the docs didn’t give me an idea on if the jacks can be remapped from input to output on Linux like they can on Windows.
Haven’t tried hooking up another monitor yet. Want to try and get the kinks out of things before I do too much. π
Sounds good. Will be watching for the thread! π
I wouldn’t say I’m sold on it just yet, still trying to figure out my way in it. The tutorial left a lot of things out, unfortunately.
Not yet sure of the feasibility of playing on a shoestring budget as I haven’t run the numbers yet but I’ll get there!
π
Wasn’t aware that Wiki gave out stars! Cool!
Will probably need to remap the audio jacks as well. No idea how to do that so some reading is required!
Seems rather contentious! Just installed Synaptic here and it’ll definitely serve my purposes of searching out packages for install. π
I do have one in the closet from fifteen years ago. It’s an old X-Fi. I may dig it out and see if it still works at some point
So after hooking up the VR headset and having it unplugged at bootup, the video card is getting confused about which video output to use even though the monitor is the only one hooked in to the card. Takes a minute or so for it to figure it out and then it works right. Rather minor problem but I may take a look in the UEFI and see if there’s a way to correct things in there but I suspect it’s something in the card’s firmware and would need to be fixed by a card revision
Anything else I should consider doing? Been a long time since I had to set up a system π
I used to have it set to randomize the screensaver. Sometimes I’d get a bouncing cow while other times a BSoD. Was quite fun!
Great!
Oh! I’ve just about hit the limits of a free player in Eve. Well, with skill training at least. It only takes about a month of skill training to max out the skills available to free players. Not sure about game content yet as I just got out of the tutorial the other day π
And finally got Starfield added to the wishlist. Took me long enough π
Another large one: 125 GB! This is really getting out of hand!
Beautiful!
Currently using Firefox but I’ve got Chrome downloaded. I’ll probably get it installed soon as I greatly prefer it π
Bit funny about security so I’ll post it in our private thread π
I wouldn’t exactly say they’re easy to work with but they’re getting better! Having a log-viewer definitely helps as the CLI tools can be a bit cumbersome with looking at the logs
Yeah, I really should get a UPS. Will add it to the list!
The VR base stations do make a noticeable humming noise but I wouldn’t call it obnoxious or anything π
Definitely not a fan of the Pop Store. It has a limited view that, while sleek, doesn’t give you enough information. For instance, it doesn’t always tell you the last update to the package or if it’s a Flatpack or not. Not a fan of Flatpack installs as it adds some dependency issues that the regular package managers take care of so things aren’t as neat and tidy with Flatpack. May try out Synaptic. I like having both a GUI package manager and a CLI one for different use cases. I like to use the graphical one to find software, the CLI one to install to help me monitor things so that I can better take care of issues if they arise
Eureka! Windows audio has been resolved! Okay, you need to install the audio drivers from Gigabyte as well. Windows doesn’t source them automatically and I wasn’t able to find them on the Realtek website. Connecting is a bit finicky: you need to remap the jacks in the Realtek Audio Console to speaker output jacks. It does mean you lose line in and mic jacks, though, and the Mira doesn’t have front jacks so with this configuration you’ll definitely need a sound card if you want analog line-in and mic-in. The other option is to go USB for the line-in and mic-in.
Don’t have a heatgun yet! I’ve read that a hair dryer can double as one if you need it to π
I’ve always used the -ise form of words as opposed to -ize myself. Probably comes from growing up with books written by British authors π
Yep! The hunt continues! They also now think that time moved differently at the beginning of the Universe!
Great! Never had oxtail before. Closest I’ve had has been lamb neck, which is not at all close π
What did you put in it?
