Ha! Me too! Church got me into anime, lol - the only reason I was up early enough to watch it on Sunday mornings was because of church and man.. I was hooked. Then the heartbreak, like you said, when it would start over. It was like a world opening up when I finally got to see the rest of the anime, years later.…

For what it’s worth you can use the parental controls on those guys to schedule what time(s) kid devices are allowed to use the internet as well content filtering for adult stuff, IM, streaming, etc. as you please. You can also use the guest network feature to create a separate wifi network with it walled off from…

Because of a PSP? Wow I feel old. Excuse me, I have to dust myself off.

True! A lot of the custom firmwares out there (DD-WRT and tomato for example) definitely support VLANs, too.

Sick part is, some companies are also getting into the business of collecting data on employee health: mine for example gives employees perks for submitting to ‘health screenings’ and such to offset the truly awful health insurance we have. Do they do anything malicious with this knowledge? I have no idea - but I sure…

While this is all good device, a lot of smart home gadgets require being on the same wifi as the rest of your stuff for you to manage them or use them... I mean I’m sure you could use some port forwarding and such to make it work anyway but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I remember when Trump joked that people would still love him even if he shot someone in the street in broad daylight... Turns out the joke is on us - since this is now basically true.

For what it’s worth, Asus AiMesh is worth looking into. Basically, some of their newer routers can be used to create a mesh network via a firmware update and because they’re not actual ‘mesh’ routers, they’re much less expensive. I have an RT-68U and an RT-66U_b1 (the b1 is important - the regular ‘66 doesn’t support…

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the multiplayer idea at all. I played it to visit cool new places and explore while enjoying the beautiful visuals and calm music, not to have a rando drop out of the sky and start shooting at me.

What I get from this list is that JRPGs have really just disappeared in the last generation, as I don’t see a single title available on ps4 or xbox one, except for backwards compatible games and the excellent Persona 5. Which, having come here looking for a new JRPG to get into and since I’ve already played (and…

I’m a little disappointed. I was really hoping that this would be a great reason to finally dust off my Switch. Story is about the #1 thing I want in a jrpg, and grinding is basically one of the things I hate the most. To me, if a game is well structured, you shouldn’t have to spend hours grinding just to move the stor…

Yep, when I was kid I could hear it too. These days probably not so much. I do still hear a low frequency hum from high voltage power stuff, though.

Haha, Sailor Moon was another one. Flipping the street scenes so that people were seen to be driving on the right instead of the left... turning the lesbian sailors (I don’t remember which ones) into sisters or cousins or something - which, gave a serious ICK to it that wasn’t there before. Definitely a case where the…

Yep. I was once part of an online forum which started to grow pretty well and had a great community until a single troll came along. Problem is, the people running it didn’t want any form of moderation for fear of “quenching free speech” or some such nonsense. I told them this was a terrible idea. Pretty soon the…

Reminds me of when I found out that the dubbed version of Dragon Ball Z wayyyy back in the day was censored to the point where episode 70 something in Japan was 40 something in US. Adding parachutes when a bad guy blows up an aircraft, cutting out a part where Gohan as a kid pees on a rock (because OMG kids don’t know…

Reminds me of HIMYM when the narrative always changed to ‘ate a sandwich’ even when it made 0 sense.

I’m starting to feel like I’m the only person in the world that doesn’t touch the stuff.

Note: I don’t care if you do and as far as I’m concerned legalizing it is a great idea for many reasons.

Yep. For goodness sake, the single player DLC never materialized - if they can't put in the effort for that why would they bother with a full game? We should be glad they're doing rdr 2 at all.

Maybe it’s the years of being on call, but I don’t remember when I was last tempted to scroll through my phone when I go to sleep. Which is good... since I have to keep my phone nearby in case work calls. So that means...
