I got invited to watch this at a neighbor’s house and I’m rather torn. Under normal circumstances I’d ignore this event completely. Most years I don’t even know that it’s happened until a few days later.

One of the reasons I agreed to watch this back in college was that it was billed as specifically not a musical. I just don’t like musicals (Disney or otherwise).
While I have unending stories about how unions are full of cockroaches, I agree that without them the US would be one of those “shithole countries”. And that’s really where we’re headed now.
We had a guy on our datacenter team who did 4x10s, Thursday - Sunday. We’d leave a list of stuff for him to do, and he’d do some of it Thursday and Friday and basically nothing on the weekend. Badge system said he was in the office, and his computer was on the network. But nothing got done.
I used to work construction and my only union stories are about how unions are festering corpses of the employee empowerment forces they were supposed to be.
In Sierra, High Sierra, Big Sur and a few others for me it was a complete crap shoot with monitor placement if I went from home to office setups (2016 MBPro). I always have one monitor rotated 90 degrees, and OSX would pick a random monitor to rotate. Or sometimes I’d just come back from a conference room and it’d…
It’s hard to spend $7 on eggs, even when it doesn’t make a huge difference to my budget. But I have been buying what my wife sometimes refers to as “designer” eggs for a long time.
Well, not really, no.
Would love another crack at Xenogears. I could never beat the final boss no matter how much grinding I did. Probably missed some fundamental strategy or something. I doubt I could ever find time to replay it... I’d probably MAKE time if somehow the last disc got turned into a proper game. :D
I’m a big fan of Macbooks (been developing on them for a long time) over anything else. Hell, I prefer my Chromebook to any Windows environment. But I detest the rest of the Apple ecosystem. I’ve carried iPhones occasionally, and used Apple TVs at friends’ houses, and I just do not get why people celebrate these…
If we’re loading up in the “Way Back Machine” then I’m dropping Murumasa: The Demon Blade. Which I played the hell out of, and needs the HD treatment on Switch.
LOVED Dust, too.
I may need to dig out my Wii stuff, then my XBox360 stuff.
I know exactly what’s under my oven... and I don’t want to move it. :/
Yup, those games are oozing with Judaeo-Christian lore and themes.
Also, don’t leave sweaty workout clothes in your car (or workout gloves if you’re out there in the rain/snow). If you do, you’re going to be defrosting inside AND out... It sucks.
Everything with electronic controls should do this. Some systems will let you turn off the AC when the windshield vent is on, but that wouldn’t be very helpful...
My demo movie for new equipment changed to Gladiator in the mid 00's.
Thought it was kinda obvious myself. I haven’t watched Top Gun recently, but being raised by the 80s and 90s, we used to watch Top Gun (perhaps too) frequently. Got a new set of sweet bookshelf speakers? Pop in the Top Gun VHS to test them out!
Surround sound?! Get the Top Gun DVD!
So when I sat down to play Mass Effect…
I have the 32GB M1 Max (for work). As a software dev, it presents conveniences where they weren’t before. Lots of containers running, bigger IDE footprint is available (AWS libraries are MASSIVE and cost a lot to index). My previous machine had 16GB and I kept bumping up against the top of my resource pool. I could…
Coiled electric stoves (glass top or otherwise) just suck. I’ve used exposed coil and the fancier ceramic/glass tops, too, and the only difference is that the smooth tops make it far easier to clean. Heat has to physical transfer from metal to metal, or metal to ceramic to metal, and a LOT of that heat is lost in the…
