Watched The Stepfather yesterday and it was fabulous!
😀
Second one isn’t available here 🙁
Here’s an old favorite:
And what’s the season without the Monster Mash?
I may need to create a TCG thread at some point…
Anyways! Playing a Gravekeeper deck in Yu-Gi-Oh is quite fun, even if it’s an old tactic and not used much these days (last major support was released in 2018). Essentially, it locks down a lot of the newer strategies, forcing you to play using tactics from a decade ago. They still hold up, too. Threw one together a couple of years ago and was able to hold my own after mixing in a few cards from some of the newer structure decks
Watched The Last House on the Left yesterday and definitely didn’t care for it. It couldn’t decide if it wanted to be something like I Spit on your Grave or a comedy, the result being a bit of a mishmash that didn’t really work well together. If almost felt as if they were laughing at the events on the screen, which was overall a serious plot
Starting to run out of fun horror films on the larger services so I may need to try the smaller ones soon. Definitely prefer older stuff!
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!

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.
