Here’s another nice gallery of C2E2 photos, taken with a high end camera and lens.

Steam Link doesn’t run anything “natively” on a display device. Do you not know what it is or how it works?

MSRDP is a pretty damned efficient compression protocol; it’s even usable on a 14.4kbps dial up connection. Even VNC is fine for remote usage. There’s no reason to involve H.264. RDP is built in to pretty much every NT-based version of Windows. Make sure there’s 4MB of VRAM (a Tseng ET4000 would be a good choice on a…

By the logic of this post, there’s a 35 year old 486 in my closet that can play X-Com 2 because it can remote in to another desktop running Windows.

Twitter is not real life. Twitter is a poor communication tool that’s run by a moron. There are many ways to get information that do not involve real time single sentence drips of information, and any of them would be preferable to this ongoing nonsense.

Man, I just want my complete Achewood: The Complete Canon. It was solicited what? Four years ago? Five? 

I’ve lived in the same unit for the last 20 years. I have no interest in being a homeowner and besides, I’m a great tenant. In 18 years, my rent only went up a total of $80, to the point that it was cartoonishly out of line with anywhere else in my area. My landlord retired. The new one has increased my rent by 25%…

How do I minus star something?

Unfortunately, it’s going up against the Cool Ranch Taco, which was and always has been the best of the Dorito taco varietals and in my opinion, the best flavor of Doritos in general. People who vote for anything other than the Cool Ranch taco are simply wrong.

It’s easy: Pelli is the one whose dating life deserves its own series on D+.

The top two are definitely the correct top 2, but I just had a conversation with a GenZ in my life that:

As a Chicagoland native, I gotta say Sabrett and Hebrew National make a better hot dog than Vienna Beef. I would stand up for David Berg as the CLEAR winner from Chicago, but as I understand things, Vienna Beef bought the name and I’m sure some insufficiently girthy, neon pink abomination will be along shortly to…

It’s pretty easy to score discounted tickets. Folks from MT show up at a wide variety of nearby geek-interest events to hand out cards to qualify for a less expensive visit. I probably see MT performers a dozen times a year at events like comic book conventions. I think the tickets in Chicago are around $75 and can be…

As of late last year, anyone who uses a license key to install MS Office is required to sign into a Microsoft Account to complete registration of the license.

I’ve seen the movie twice now and I think it’s a fun and imaginative trip with some really first-rate strangeness and a cool space opera vibe, but I really do feel like they shied away from humor, which really is a waste of Paul Rudd. I also don’t understand Janet not ever talking about her experience being stranded…

I’d just like to stop to point out that IBIS is by no means an MFT-exclusive feature; APS-C and Full Frame cameras and and do offer both lens and body stabilization. In correct combination of lens and body, this can lead to 10+ stops of exposure correction.

Vampire Survivor is the epitome of gameplay that requires no forebrain attention. The game is a half hour long and basically nothing new happens in any play-through. All anyone really does in-game is hit WASD, and on some characters, there isn’t even that.

Creating a middle category without taking incredible precautions would in and of itself be a source of conflict, particularly if it makes it vastly easier to single out persons who are different. Plenty of people on one side of the issue simply refuse to acknowledge the lived reality of anything other than the…

The Munster location is still operating.

The Meijer family and its employee policies are deeply homophobic. I loathe that my grocery choices are Meijer and Walmart. They are both terrible each in their own way.
