Finally got around to watching the Lawnmower Man (director’s cut) yesterday. Highly recommended even if the reviews have it at 37%. 🙂

Sorry, she was in her car waiting at the light. The car in front of her got T-boned when another car ran the light, causing that car to swing back into her car. Sadly, the driver that ran the light didn’t make it. 🙁

Yeah, the insurance companies are working on the compensation. Takes a while though.

Yep! Regular updates every few months. We’re getting at least one more update since the last one was Worlds Pt 1. Hope that’s not the last! 😛

I’d really like them to flush out the space side of things more, kind of like the X-series (which I still need to play). Hopefully they’ll get on it! Freighters have greatly improved since I first got the game four years back, which is nice. They’re now more useful than just warping and planning expeditions. I’ve grown fond of just hanging out on the outside of them 🙂

As I mentioned in the other thread, I’m still pooped. She’s doing much better so hopefully it’ll be just another couple of days before I can rest up. Been so worn out that I’ve simply been reading books when I’m not exploring the galaxy in NMS. Exploring is going well, by the way. My starting sector has quite a few interesting systems, which is nice. 🙂

So the General private forum’s heading reads “Private Private”. Reminds me of the Battle Droids, “Roger Roger”. 😛

Saw this one yesterday. It was fun but the plot made zero sense. They kept forgetting various things that made it nonsensical, such as when the heroines top got cut by a scythe at a warehouse leaving her topless. They just left it at that without a change of clothes and a few dead bodies. We’re supposed to assume she made it back in that state without trouble in a clearly dangerous town where everyone knows how to kick everyone and wants to kick everyone. Yeah, the film was pretty silly when you get down to it 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

🙁

Is there a reason why they keep blocking it?

There’s also Ardour if you’re ever in the mood to try something new but the interface has always looked overly complicated so I’ve never taken the plunge. 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Thought I fixed that. At the very least, I meant to!

Will get it in a few days. Still babysitting mom and I’ve been pretty tired. Hopefully, I can start winding down the sitting after today.

Tried out Lorcana yesterday and it’s pretty fun. The game is pretty chill and is pretty straightforward, unlike modern YGO. As far as gameplay goes, it’s similar to a boardgame but without the board aspect. I’ll probably try it for a bit and see how it goes 🙂

What filesystem did you format it as? It may have been a filesystem limitation.

Weird that original run didn’t properly set up the system files. Of course, I’ve never tried to set up a Windows recovery drive (I’ve always just used the installation media). Are things well on the way to recovery now, then?

Here’s an interesting blurb on wormholes: https://futurism.com/the-byte/small-wormholes-fabric-space-time

Got more articles buried in my list somewhere. Wormhole research has really been getting popular over the last several months!

Yay! New story! Always did love the series! 😀 Been reading it for twenty years 😛

My base in NMS is coming along rather nicely. Got a roamer bay assembled so that will help with exploring the planet I’m on and I may toss a few more bases on it later. Not sure as it’s nothing special, just the first base the game had me make to get used to base building. 🙂

Still want to build a base on that desert planet but I’ll get there! I should probably start naming the bases something witty but I’m terrible at coming up with names. 😛

Eventually, I’ll need to go to the Anomaly to unlock more base parts but I’m still working on the initial unlocks. The game is about to have me unlock a freighter, which will be nice

Haven’t yet figured out the purpose of the terminals other than for roleplaying so I may need to look them up. Will get there

Saw After Hours yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Not a whole lot of plot but that’s okay!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Thanks. Took a closer look at the reviews and they’re pretty consistent with regards to the upper lip area. Sounds like the spacing of the rotaries is too much to properly cover the area. Back to the drawing board!

Yeah, I’ve always had battery anxiety. Really wish we’d go back to batteries that were easily replaceable by the consumer. 🙁

Ugh. Hope all goes well!

Yeah, we’ll miss Gundam. 🙁 In other news, Japan has started using giant robots to repair utility lines!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Combination of both. The cartilage had gone due to wear and tear but was still usable and then someone ran a red light and hit her at a traffic light, causing the knee to go out of whack and requiring knee replacement surgery.

She recently moved around the corner so that helps things along 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Mom had knee surgery last week so I’ve been a bit busy helping her, which has been taking a lot out of me. Will hopefully be able to get back to work on the site tasks next week 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Thanks! Taking a look at them now, this one looks like a good middle of the road option?

Great!

I really miss games hosting the leaderboards on an easily accessible site. 🙁 Granted, that hasn’t been much of a thing in a long time but I still miss it! It was fun to check in and see how you were doing compared to everyone else throughout the day. 😛

Have never seen the Alien films but they are on the list. Figure I need to watch them at least once. The Predator crossovers? I can probably skip those. 😛

Yep, that looks like a good design. Over here, we usually make our own. Not sure of the details, though, since that knowledge hasn’t been passed down to me. Will need to change that!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Will ask them about it! And the site comes with its own lovely supply of baked goods. 🙂

Speaking of which, we should probably test out the registration one of these days to make sure it works. 😛

Turns out I’m not the only one who’s been having issues with that person. The shop told me he got upset over losing a game and just left. Sounds like he takes things too seriously /shrug

So we’ve been having some issues with a different guy in our game group who constantly misbehaves. The other day, he started ripping up one of my pages of notes, which wasn’t cool at all. Had to call him out on it. Was able to reproduce the notes but it’s the principle of the act so I held him to a five dollar compensation fee. Thought about things a bit and figured I’d use it to grab a single pack of Pokemon cards (also five dollars before tax). When he went to the bathroom later, the guy that brings him told the rest of us that he’s not bringing him for a while. He crossed the line when he started destroying others’ things

Finally got around to seeing The Stepford Wives the other day. While it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Found it a bit bland for some reason or other.
