  • Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.

    It’s been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven’t stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.




  • I always get my isp outers as pass through so network is controlled by my entry. I have never bothered doing much with it but it’s nice to have the option.

    I used to use a ddwrt firmware for years but eventually my hardware could never keep up with my net speeds and manufacture firmware was faster. Trying an Omada network now seems alright but haven’t added their wifi.


  • I do like how Canadians differentiate by saying first nations now though it makes things so much simpler. Do recall native vs Indian days for sure, older myself. ~~~~

    My dad was native but I never got the card, band was disolved or something and my dad kept trying but no luck. In the end I’d rather all people have the best rights, we should all have the same rights and then being the best (dental medical education etc). We all live here and want this country to prosper. But evidently the government says that’s not cool. Mean I’d still take our government over the fucking tangerine down south. Fuck that shit but it’s be awesome if we offered everyone advanced schooling and good social net regardless, it only helps build our country.

    To be fair I’m not saying anyone should have less we just need to all get the best from our government. I do understand that first nations have been given the shaft but I’d hope the best for everyone gives everyone a boost. Or at least those that need it, cause we’re a decently well off country.




  • Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.

    Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.


  • At my age (sorry dunno yours) everything comes quickly but I agree this, and other tech stuff lately, come on fast these days.

    Side note reminds me of neuromancer (book) where it’s described as subcultures can come up and disappear quite fast. Oddly relevant to today even if we can’t plug into the net. It’s a single line in the book so don’t think that’s the focus if you haven’t read it, but I do recommend. Though the prose can’t be difficult sometimes cause sometimes almost written poetic.


  • Sounds like a reasonable idea for the issue presented. Mean the issue could be on one drive saying the file is there and complete, or many other issues since I don’t know the API in the least.

    Yours would be my first guess for sure, it thinks it completed so delete local copy, which is what you’d prefer in that situation, well mostly, I sort of prefer a local working copy but need some other names and the program to recognize thm with then upload on actual save to the cloud storage…I say that and still curse at excel when it says it has a backup copy from a forced reboot, always keep one open heh.

    Actually to be fair I hate those storages for that reason so much crap can go wrong without a knowledgeable user it makes things worse. You just hope the program can tell if it did it was done correctly heh and if not then end up clicking the wrong button and it’s all gone.

    Local NAS for anything you think you’ll need, random ‘free’ cloud storage as a general backup. Mean I assume the NAS has raid so mostly good without more.

    I listen to the radio version of hitchhiker’s while I go to sleep often, if I managed to hit play in the middle of the whale’s pondering I always back up a bit. It’s one of my favourites of the entire series and not as good when played mid pondering.

    Also the line about the bowl of petunias having relevance later is quite amusing to be sure. Though I assume not thought of when written.


  • Had to check in Simpsons it’s called Funzo S11E9, it’s not as Christmasy as other ones are for sure. I bet you and your friend still tried to play the game that’d have been an adventure for then. I tried to play a Gundam MMO once but it was only in Japanese, so was awkward and didn’t last long but hard to resist a try.


  • Simpson did the burning of them for one holiday episode. Though may have been later than the furby was around but I barely notice season numbers anymore except to notice if after say 12 when the ones my old self sees as better. Also we have all the holiday ones (well many animated series, separate one for live action sitcoms) in a bag to pull out during Xmas season to watch a themed one, so just pull find it and hit play, no thinking during these holidays… similar for Halloween month.


  • At a first thought, I’m not even sure it was YouTube but probably, Charlie the Unicorn. I’ve been online too long to remember old YouTube favourites specifically heh. Hell if papa Smurf lick my ass is on YouTube that could beat it unsure of exact years I watched them first well Charlie was 07-08ish if that’s where it was from.

    Memory unlocked for Foamy the squirrel but that wasn’t YouTube specifically hah Neuroticaly Yours was the series name, it rocked. Probably shouldn’t re-watch but it fit well mid / latish 2000s.

    Wasn’t a line,Daddy has a credit card? Or similar, not sure I quite caught how our of character that was for anyone remotely typical for Japanese culture.

    One of my favourite movies of all time, it’s so beautiful from visuals to the story of a kid learning to accept change.
