Bermuda is the 4th I think, halfway on the long side

He always took the no’s gracefully (sometimes many dozens a night). I have no idea if he settled down. We lost contact after graduation. It’s been 20 years, so I hope he did!

There was a guy in my fraternity who did this. Every time there was a party of some kind he would swing by all the girls and introduce himself. “Hi, I’m Curry, wanna fuck?” (Curry was his nickname). He always went home with someone.

No Samsung. I want this for my Google Streamer.

An app for Android (Google TV) that lets you change the volume on a per-application basis. Like a mixer. I want to be able to set Disney+ to 200%, Netflix to 130% and Youtube to 80%.

It varies per person. I for one can’t view wall-eyed, only cross-eyed.

Nope, 69!

I found a slightly different system online once. You mark your todo list with a dash (-) in front. If it’s done, cross it to make a plus sign (+). If it’s something that you postponed or moved to another list/page, turn the dash into an arrow (->). I adapted it from the dash-plus system years ago: https://www.patrickrhone.net/the-dash-plus-system/

I finished “Hardspace: Shipbreaker”. It was pretty fun! Much better story than most sim games.

I’m mow playing “Enderal”, a totally free full conversion of Skyrim. You need Skyrim, obviously, but everything is new. New world, story, questlines, skill trees, everything. So far it’s really, really good. Much better than Skyrim. It’s difficult, but there is no level scaling so you can actually revisit areas when you levelled up.

Nintendo thought is was pirated. The original seller copied the game, then sold the original and kept the copy. Nintendo saw both copies running at the same time and disabled them both.

Just… don’t. Non-technical people should consider consoles, not PCs. Not even with Windows (which is actually harder to use than some Linux distros). If you want to game together with them, just get them an Xbox. It has much more games with cross play than a PlayStation

I agree. The Mandalorian was great. Not Andor great, but waaay better than the latest trilogy. Now, Book of Boba Fett on the other hand…

Just watch the Andrew Lloyd Webber theather version. It’s by far the best.

Was it? Or are those numbers just Hollywoid accounting. I mean, on paper everybHarry Potter movie was a flop…

All those Disney live action remakes are sooo bad. People just don’t have the expressiveness of cartoon characters. The Lion King was the worst. The characters were animated and still wooden

I’m a patient gamer. Most of my games I wait until they are $10 or below. If it’s a really good game and I really want it I maybe go up to $15-18. I have almost never payed over $20 and I have almost always been disappointed. The only ecceptions have been Deep Rock Galactic, Sea of Thieves and the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress. But that last one I bought mostly to support the game since I have been playing the free version for so long.

I didn’t know it was a co-production, but I knew it was Herman van Veen! That guy had the weirdest kids show ever: “Daar komen de Clowns” (Here come the clowns) about a group of clowns flying through space in a giant top hat.

Alfred J Kwak is actually a Dutch series.

I am Dutch btw. My parents always watched Tatort and any other krimi on ARD and ZDF, like Derrick, Cobra 11 and Kommisaris Rex. I learned to speak German at a young age thanks to the TV 😄

Have fun!

They are very different. X4 is more of a grand strategy game where you need to build up your empire. I really like how all the resource production and manufacturing works. You can’t just buy ships. They need to be built. From parts. That need to be manufactured and supplied. If you want to beat an enemy empire then you can attack their supply lines and they can’t produce new ships.

The game starts off much like Elite, just you flying around in your ship. But by the end you usually just sit in a chair pouring over the map and issuing commands while your hired npcs do the actal work.
