Virtual! She doesn’t even drink water anymore, only coffee! 😛
Well, she has a caffeine crash some gametime later. I haven’t installed a tea infuser yet. I do wonder which she’ll prefer. 😛
The game is fun but I do miss the wide-open world of The Sims 3.
Feel free to start up a jokes thread whenever!
Lovely! Would make some great music to pair with a super cut of lights blinking on technology! Cut from a fax machine to a modem to a mainframe…. 😀
Sorry! I thought I had hit the submit button!
Don’t remember too much of Apocalypse Now. My attention kept wandering while it was on…. 😛
I should probably fix that. I remember bits and pieces, though!
Older films had better music than recent ones, in my opinion. Licensing has gotten to be such an issue that many just use as little as possible now. 🙁
Weird! That sounds like a translation file got messed up somewhere
Memory access defines the blood level…? I really don’t understand that logic 😛
So are you running it on Linux, then?
My Sim has developed a coffee addiction. Right before she is supposed to sleep, she made three cups of coffee and drank each one immediately after the other 😛
Yep, new version and, yep, I had closed it before I clicked to go back. 🙂
Nope but we do have heavy mineral deposits in the area, which may be part of the issue. I’ve had many a spigot clog up! 😛 A water softener may help at some point
Got it three years ago after the old one kicked the bucket. Not only has it been leaking but the heating coils crapped out.
I may try running some vinegar through the washer in case there’s something lurking in there 🙂
Amazingly well preserved!
My washer isn’t holding up nearly as well. No idea what year it’s from but it’s relatively recent. It’s developed a short that causes it to sometimes skip the spin cycle so I need to run the spin cycle manually. 😛
Another annoyance that may be due to the water quality here (not sure) is that it’ll stain the clothes with what looks like rust stains. Minor staining but annoying all the same. Some clothes stain quicker than others, which is weird. My socks, for instance, don’t have any stain marks on them at all while my shirts get the staining. I don’t understand what’s up.
Sorry for the delay!
So it launches Notepad without issue save for a bunch of resolution warnings (I’m running a 4k monitor at 144 HZ) and, on exit, the Back to PrgLnch button yelled at me about a missing window and took a few seconds to allow me to click it.
I downloaded the zip from GitHub but there may be a better way to handle things. I suppose I could use Git on Windows, though
Will add it to the list! I still need to play through Neverwinter Nights! 😛
I used to like playing MMOs but I’ve been having some trouble getting into them lately. Not sure why :/
So Disney is coming out with a box set consisting of most of their films: https://www.polygon.com/23868034/disney-100-movie-blu-ray-set-pre-order
Very cool but expensive!
Finally got around to ordering another cookbook: The Cake Bible. Should be here sometime next week!
Yay! How far back does your DB go so far?
Cool! Those are quite extensive! That must have taken a lot of work!
Cool! Didn’t know they did a reboot. And a TV show…? Didn’t know that.
These films can be fun but the plots are always full of holes (no pun intended…I think) ! I guess that’s part of why I like them. 😛
Sounds fun! Will add it to the list! Only available for rental currently but maybe that’ll change 🙂
Child’s Play was fun but, golly, it had a lot of plot holes!
For example: they jumped from the kid being in a mental institution, just having busted out of his cell but wandering the facility still, to being at home. How did he get out without anyone catching him? How did he find his way home? It was 1988! It’s not like he had GPS (it was primarily for military use at the time) or had been to the institution before! Or at least enough to be able to find his way home without assistance
Yep, it’s been dubbed! I always try to watch dubs as I have issues with reading subtitles and following along with what’s going on onscreen at the same time 🙂
Been meaning to watch The Descent since it came across my radar a few years ago. Saw it mentioned somewhere in passing and I thought it looked intriguing but it was pushed to the back of my mind until recently.
And to think, over here, 12 – 20 episodes per season is the norm! British seasons are half our length! Never did understand that. 😛 Granted, British shows are often of higher quality than ours. Ours are a lot more pulpy 😛
Watched Friday the 13th The other day and that was enjoyable. Wasn’t a big fan of the bobbing camera they used to hide the killer, though. Found it a bit disorienting. Also have Child’s Play on the list, which should be fun!
I still get the message that it needs to be set up by the organization. I’ve been trying every week or two but without success 🙁
Yeah, I’d love to save those things! We have a lot of good stuff in there!
Interesting. Didn’t realize they could quantify it with a formula. Going to need to read the article when I get the opportunity!
Read Far from the Light of Heaven the other day and that was a fun read. Murder mystery in space!
The big issue with it is that it reimplements the language features instead of using the already existing features.
Yeah, that’s not exactly cool. It’s also potential for abuse. A malicious party, for instance, could set up a script to download and install over and over again, driving up the fees to astronomical levels after the initial purchase.
With a stag as the game piece? 😛
We do have the Escape from the Swamp idea. Sadly, we weren’t able to grab it before Teams went belly up. Perhaps we could try to pick it up again?
Yeah, they’re a bit of a rarity these days. 🙁
Snowy was the underrated star of the series! I do love his commentary on the events in the stories. 🙂
Over the years, three of my copies got misplaced. Hopefully they turn up at my dad’s place as I haven’t read those in a while. They also did a TV series based on the books. I only saw a few episodes and that was when I was a kid but I enjoyed them at the time. No idea how well they held up but I can see if one of the streaming services has them available.
🙁 We have a similar issue out west. Many lakes and rivers are starting to dry up. Utah is turning into a salt flat, too 🙁
It’s a wonderful film!
I think part of the issue is that it’s a bit hard to get creative with war films these days. Granted, they can still be good (Das Boot comes to mind) but I think the general public has grown weary of the genre as of late, especially with all the global conflicts in the last decade. Speaking of Das Boot, I really need to watch it in full one day.
Body Double looks interesting, will definitely add it to the list. I’ve heard of some of his other films (and even seen a couple) but Body Double isn’t that appeared on the radar. 🙂
Yay! On an unrelated note, we need another world’s fair. The image reminds me of the towers from the one in New York, which brought it to mind 😛
Been watching Dragon Ball Z Kai to pick up where I left off from the regular version of DBZ back in 2010. Probably should have stuck with the original. Kai streamlined the series by cutting out a lot of so called filler but I liked the filler! Many of the episodes they removed were character building episodes that didn’t have much bearing on the overall plot but gave you a better look at the characters’ personalities. 🙁
On September 11, 2023 at 7:56 pm Laurie Stearn saidProbably not, for no other good reason than the other squillion games waiting on the to-do pile. 😛
Yeah, seems that way looking at this post at GOG, but things have changed somewhat since then. Reading from the general consensus from this thread at Reddit, if you were to acquire the game now, get the EE. In purchasing the game around 2007, the choice was not available, as Beamdog was not even embryonic. 😛Sounds good. I think the EE versions also added support for higher resolutions, which is always nice in these types of games to better see the playing area. 🙂
On September 14, 2023 at 8:28 pm Laurie Stearn saidEdited the OP, turns out the vanilla Override folder in the New directory was pointed to, and the extra files in the original Override folder caused the resolution exception. Must have contained some
widescreen modfiles that somehow got misconfigured or mangled – who knows? Edit: The extra files are viewable here, and all date from around 2001, so must be have been from a re-issue of part of another earlier official patch most likely 1.3.5521.
The nasty error occurred after the physical removal of the “baldur’s gate New”, upon which the initial reaction was: 😲Possibly! I know widescreen hacks can sometimes cause issues. In Rollercoaster Tycoon, you need to manually add in the extra resolutions with a hex editor. The game engine itself can handle them but the resolutions are hardcoded into the executable. Not exactly an elegant solution but it works 😛
