There was already an HD remaster released back in 2011… I’m all for crisper graphics, bugfixes and the like, as long as the core gameplay and charm from the beloved original is still there. Still also holding out for BG&E2, but that feels as close to vaporware as it stands.
Also, fuck Ubisoft and their craptastic launcher. Main reason I have strayed from majority of their titles. Maybe it’s a little pedantic, but I’m in the “Steam or no DRM” group if I bother with a game.
Tales from the Loop
Sorrynotsorry, I’ve just got into watching it and it fit so… haha.
While I still “subscribe” to Humble, I don’t recall the last time I actually unpaused a month. Maybe this is the push I needed. Their offerings have been mostly subpar after they bought Humble. Not knocking the indie devs, I think my gaming tastes have changes over the years. Also, I don’t need coupons for DLC, please and thank you.
What a convenient time to share this…
He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.
Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.
While it was extremely limited due to the tech at the time, I truly enjoyed this and SimCopter for the ability to drive/fly around your created cities. Would love to have seen some semblance of physics included. I just recall any cars you drove up/down hills just conformed to the terrain. Was still extremely fun.
Looks like it’s still for sale in some capacity on Amazon (looked it up by the ISBN). First print was 1979, so it dates itself. The sample pages are… interesting.
Ah, not a worry. I’m sure I’ll find “the one” soon enough. Thanks!
What tree is that? We have a rather chonky boi that we think is a Bengal mix, and there are days we think he’ll topple over the regular sized trees we have (we have 3 other “normal” sized kittehs). I know they make large cat trees specifically for this, but any recs are welcome!
Also, of course he’s an awesome kitteh.
Just threw Zorin on my secondhand x220, but been using the Thinkpad as a low end test bench so that may change. Runs surprisingly well, although I do need a new battery soon (“dies” at ~40%).
Happiness has to be fought for.
My roommate is heavily holding out her next playthrough until 1.6 drops. Here’s hoping Stardew Valley Very Expanded gets updated soon after.
I’m heavily modding Skyrim VR currently and now that .esl support was back ported, I’m hovering around 400 mods. It’s joyous, and I’m afraid how much I may break at the same time. Nexus Collections are helping as well. Maybe I’ll test MO2 one of these days.
I have never completed or even come close to finishing the game. And I was a day one 11/11/11 purchase lol.
Posted under Phar’s comment, but here’s the direct link

Pretty sure it’s the smart TV blocklist from Wally3k / Firebog. I’ll confirm and update later if I find out otherwise.

The amount of Roku stuff my PiHole blocks is asinine. I just recently added a blocklist for smart TVs and it ballooned the query counts like mad.
+1 for PiHole. Worth the ~$40 for the Pi Zero W and accessories alone.
Oh I figured it would be good. I loved HP growing up, well before we knew any of JK’s purviews and hatreds. It also does help that majority of the actors involved in the cinematic universe were outspoken against her. It’s rather difficult to separate art from the artist at times, but I think I’ll probably sail the seas first to test it out, and then determine how best to purchase it without giving her any more cashflow, however meager that is in the grand scheme.
Found a reasonable article of who distanced / defended Joanne’s hatred: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/every-harry-potter-actor-supports-jk-rowling/
Thank you for the extra layer of clarity. I’m consistently trying to make sure my words aren’t being misconstrued, and I’m hoping that’s how the other commenter feels, although I’m not going to put words in their mouth. I’ve faltered many a time in the past, hell even this morning in a discussion with a personal friend. I’m here to hopefully make the world a better place to live in, even if by the smallest choices in words and actions.
You’re on the right path with that. Sometimes people with these mindsets just need to be spoken to, and that may (on may not) open their eyes to the ways they may have been inadvertently steeped in, whether that be from upbringing in a hatred filled household / community / etc., or a search for acceptance in those circles. I have someone at my workplace who is an outspoken anti-LGBTQ+, even going as far as plastering their laptop with heavily right wing anecdotes, and wearing very questionable shirts with horrible messages. But I’m here to eventually try and reason with them, and you’re absolutely right it’ll be an uphill battle, but one worth trying.
This is something that would be great for our 26lb mix. We don’t know yet what he’s a mix of, but we think it may be Bengal or Chausie. I need to flex my handy skills, and this feels like the purrfect way. Thanks for sharing!
