These are intentionally bred to look that way.

Before there was the Kobayashi Maru, there was Pike’s ‘Klaatu Barada Nikto’ test…

I use to play multiplayer games in the office with co-workers many many years ago. Then when everybody scattered to the four corners of the earth, I’ve mainly just been jumping into single player games that I can pick up and drop easily. I then started getting back into multiplayer sessions with my kids, but they soon transitioned through that period where their studies or other hobbies take precedence to our occasional DRG sessions. So I’ve now been going on Deep Rock runs with strangers. On the one hand, it’s a nice quick fix, but as most users seem to use the text chat if at all, it’s not as much of a social event as it was when I was playing with my kids and we all had open mics. You can get on the DRG Discord to try to team up with regular players, and I may try that some day to see if there are older players who don’t mind shooting the breeze while riding Doretta. But for now, I’ll have to make do with jamming that V key.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (peak Wes Anderson)

Not lost on me that Robert Wise, who directed ‘Sound of Music,’ also directed ‘ST: The Motion Picture.’

Tron Legacy, at least to me, was an example of a film that was let down by poor editing, especially during the fight scenes.

This movie was a lot of fun!

How far did you get into Lone Echo? My favorites parts are after you leave Kronos II - especially that shuttle ride to the ‘other place’ - one of the best VR experiences I’ve had, including anything in HL:A.

This video appears to be missing an important step - keeping pressure on the flipper part of the blade so it doesn’t accidentally come down on your thumb as you disengage the lock. It helps if there is a more significant flipper guard on the knife, which the sample in the video appears to lack.

You mean listed on Steam as being SD compatible? Yeah, I expect Steam adds a little bit of secret sauce to get their hosted titles working correctly. I’ll check online resources that specifically target Epic and GOG game compatibility.

I normally check online to see if a particular Epic or GOG games is compatible with the Steam Deck before using Heroic to install it, but following that, I haven’t run into any big issues with getting the game to run with the latest Proton version. Though I suspect some games do work better on an older build.

Ebert clearly recognized the value of his brand, and did what he could to ensure it would continue to support his family and colleagues long after he was gone. And while you’re certainly within your rights to be critical of the new writers’ opinions, it’s not like some evil corporation brought them in after immediately assuming the legal rights to Roger’s name.

Is this an either/or situation, where you want to ditch or replace your projector with a TV? If not, I’d suggest sticking with a projector for those times when you would like to watch with the lights off just for the immersion, and have a TV for all those other times.

Hello there!

We need a Lurker’s Anonymous support group.

On the one hand, you admit that it’s a low effort response. But by saying, ‘yet,’ you also acknowledge that an even lower effort response is still in your future. So here’s to continued improvement!

But I wanted your axe.

It’s a classic.
