The way he strode past Mark and Lance Archer on the ramp was 👌

An older, more grizzled Roppongi Vice back together, and Ibushi having a wrestling match. What a 2025.

My kids and my partner, they’re amazing and they all think the world of me.

Terraria is there for a few bucks and might be my most played game of all time.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2, 3, 5. These have have given me so much good time since I was a kid gamer.

Some of that good 2010s stuff is on heavy discount. Tomb Raider, Arkham City, Mad Max, Deus Ex HR, Alan Wake.

A bunch of classics are a couple dollars each. like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Blood, Fallout, Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis, Crusader No Regret, Anachronox, Jedi Knight DF2 (comes with mysteries of the sith), Classic X com series.

There’s already two active JRPG communities. One slightly more active than here, the other slightly less.

And one ARPG community. Not very active though!

I like hearing Fantano rail against this crap

Do we want a HG Wells Time Machine future? This is how we get a HG Wells Time Machine future.

I used to go to the dentist for annual check ups. Now I have been since 2021. That kind of thing has become a luxury that “one day I’ll have money for it again”.

Until opensuse remove it from their patterns, it will keep coming back. That’s the way opensuse works.

Same as if you try to remove a KDE package, the KDE pattern will keep reinstalling it when you update.

You can lock/blacklist individual packages though. I can’t remember how but it will be in their documentation.

Everyone here thinks their shit tier 2018 laptop is made of gold or something.

 

It’s easy to find information online suggesting games that don’t suck down the battery too fast. But it’s not as easy going the other way.

I ended up with a spare 512gb card, so I’ve popped it in my hub/dock to add on games that I’ll only play when docked.

I’ve got Cyberpunk and Elden Ring on it. When I played those I lost about 30% battery in <20 minutes. But they performed fine.

Looking for more suggestions like this, so I can build myself a database of games to pop on this card.

 

A Gillette Aristocrat popped up on marketplace near me. I’ve only used my Merkur 34C and (now broken) 39C. No experience with vintage Gillettes.

Are they generally okay to use? I shave 1-2 times a week. That includes head shaving which was wondrous with the Sledgehammer, but the 34C is just average.

I wouldn’t need to get it replated would I? I can see it’s not rusty, and the pictures look fine just obviously old.

 

We have a bunch of these ceramic pots which often come as gifts when people give us plants.

No drainage holes. What use are they? They’re so small I think only succulents would be an option, but wouldn’t they just rot in water?

 

I’m not active enough of an internet guy to remember to actually post stuff - so we’re going back 6 months…

I surprised my daughter (and the entire family) on Christmas morning when they found this waiting in the living room. I hadn’t told my partner I’d been working on anything, kept it quiet.

It’s all just pine, dressed all round. Had to go buy a cheap and nasty jigsaw to cut the doors and opening between floors since my coping saw broke whilst trying to work this (handle snapped clean off, thanks Stanley)

The roof- cut at an angle, turned one piece over and glued it. Then stood like a statue holding it for half an hour pressing it against the ground until it dried enough. Couldn’t think of any other way to hold it tight at that angle -_-

The floors and balcony are all slotted into through dados. Cut, chiseled and then cleaned up a bit with trim router. And I hate so much working pine with chisels! (I’ve since got a bigger router bit that would have made this much easier)

Finished with water based Jarrah stain, with water based acrylic paint on the roof and “bathroom”. Some of that finish is really sloppy, I was still out there late on Christmas Eve trying to get the last few coats on.

A leftover sheet of mdf (think about 5mm) just painted and nailed in as the back wall.

There’s a little set of stairs on the ground floor finished with dark carnauba wax. There’s also a little rope ladder going up to the top floor - was from our pet bird who had left us recently.

A whole mish mash of different ideas here, but I just wanted to make something fun and interesting for my daughter.

For what I wanted to do for her first big Christmas (just turned 3), this turned out better than I thought I could do.

 

Finally completed a bed for my 3 year old daughter. This was my first project in 20 years, so it’s taken me about 9 months of relearning techniques, practicing, finding the right tools, and just finding time really.

Originally was just M&T and half lap joins, but when setting up I decided it was a little too wiggly so I put 38mm and 17mm angle brackets to reinforce it.

Mostly construction lumber from local hardware shop. A few pieces “feature pieces”, Blackbutt and Macrocarpa. Finished with walrus furniture oil. The slats were cut down from someone selling off pieces of their bed on marketplace. (?)
