Spastic Hamburger

Don’t worry! Most stuff can be handled by the GUI these days! There’s not much that requires manual editing on most distros now. If you do go with Linux, I’d recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed (it’s a stable rolling release with an amazing package manager) with KDE or even PopOS (I’m mostly too lazy to switch to openSUSE 😛 ). KDE is much better for…[Read more]

Ugh. What a mess!

I generally eyeball the power requirements for the individual parts and then add a few hundred watts to provide extra headroom for future upgrades and power hungry tasks that I may perform. For instance, 750W was recommended by the linked tool in the Reddit post but I went with a 1000W power supply. Definitely overkill for most…[Read more]

It’s possible Linux would work better. Granted, based on your hardware, you should be running Windows without issue.

A few weeks later, Microsoft made a statement about it: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2912435/if-windows-defender-flags-winring0-on-your-gaming-pc-pay-attention.html

System76 would need to update how their driver works to remove…[Read more]

Random remarks:

It may be possible to set up the multi-game support as external plugins so that the whole program doesn’t need an update when individual game components are updates by dynamically loading the libraries using LoadLibrary() on Windows and dlopen() on *nix (at least on Mac and Linux, would need to check for the BSDs). This can be…[Read more]

Turned out great!

Yeah, I’ll try to get a picture of the next one I make and decorate. Too late now: it’s already passed through the body and back to the water treatment plant 😛

Oh, cool. We don’t get those around here, only the regular Prunus persica variety (free stone and cling). Due to the weather conditions the last few years, our crop has…[Read more]

Fixed a bug in ui/class_dlg.h: for some reason, it had an improper include-guard that came in the original project import. Will be in the next upload 🙂

Not a clue! I don’t know PHP but the installation looks simple enough 🙂

Discord does have a swag store: https://discordmerch.com/ 😛

Ugh. That’s going to make it harder to track down common issues and fixes, especially for those without a Discord account. Discord does have a threads feature but it’s mostly an afterthought and the interface is extremely cludgy. It’s good for chats but not much else, really.

Sounds good 🙂

And game/morrowind/ has been taken care of 🙂

Forgot to mention the other week that OpenMW got updated to 0.50: https://openmw.org/2025/openmw-0-50-0-released/

It’s mostly minor fixes and better controller support but there are some other goodies thrown in. 🙂

Yeah, Windows has always been slow to get everything up to speed, even on a fresh install with an SSD. I’m assuming Windows is installed on the HDD? The SSD will definitely boot faster than the HDD if you want to go that route. Would mean moving the install, though, which can be a bit of a pain

And the first book in the Nancy Drew series along with more Agatha Christie. 🙂

And then there was the time that Donald Duck killed Goofy:

Think Geek used to sell an electronic useless machine. Don’t recall the details but it did stuff when you pressed the button.…[Read more]

I’m not sure Ballad of Champions made it out of Japan, which could explain its limited availability. Really need to get more records. Our local record stores focus more on genres that don’t interest me, such as R&B and new age rock. I just haven’t spent much time looking online yet. Just not a big fan of online shopping 😛

Do the built-in Windows…[Read more]

Just to give you a heads up: Free counter stat is blocked by uBlock Origin as a tracker so it may not be able to keep an accurate count.

Decorated my first cake for the holidays last week and it turned out great! Instead of using a pastry bag, I used one of these. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to get a picture before the cake was devoured 😛

Making good progress. The only directories left to update the paths are game/, mwedit/, ui/, and windows/ 🙂

Then I can go back to what I was doing before I got sidetracked and continuing adjusting the missing includes.

And I’ve attempted to update the paths in the resource files. I had trouble with that previously so there’s a good chance that they’ll need to updated yet again once the CI spits out an error. The resource compiler seems to have a limited ability to do includes while MWEdit uses the pre-processor in them extensively. But, as we already know, the…[Read more]

Just be on the lookout for the ghouls that have taken up residence!

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with that location: it felt a bit small relative to the name. I was expecting a sprawling Wal-Mart kind of place 😛

Not sure about the issue in the manager but the issue with Samsung is probably related to some security events they’ve had…[Read more]
