That's super neat. I still have my physical copy of this game from back in the day. I've booted it up in a Windows 98 VM before, but that's way more hassle than just opening it in Firefox.

Her science-oriented methods break down when it comes to (in the broadest sense) “supernatural” phenomena - because they are, by definition even, outside science.

I only watched the first 2 or 3 seasons of The X-Files, so I there's lots of episodes I haven't seen, but this seems incorrect to me. Scully and Mulder were chasing unexplained phenomena, which are entirely within the realm of science. Humans tend to call things "supernatural" when we don't know how to explain them (ghosts, monsters, aliens, etc), but those entities (in the context of The X-Files where they are actually real), once observed, can be subjected to the scientific method the same as anything else. Aliens and cryptids and such in The X-Files aren't magic; it's just extremely rare for humans to be able to observe and study them.

All these years later, I still can't believe they got Tyson Hesse, the guy who did this ridiculous Sonic fan comic, to oversee the redesign of the Sonic model for the film. What a crazy world we live in.

IMO most of the songs on their first album, "Songs About Jane" (2002) are good. "Harder to Breathe", "Sweetest Goodbye", "The Sun", "Shiver", and "This Love" are all bangers as far as I'm concerned.

I dunno what I'd consider the most "technically accomplished" song on the album, but it's definitely one of those. ("Sunday Morning" and "She Will Be Loved" from the same album are also good songs, but I wouldn't consider them in the running for their most "technically accomplished" tune).

How's the Steam controller perform on the RetroPie? A buddy of mine had a Steam controller back in the day and it always felt super comfortable to play with.

I love Dark Souls 3. My favorite in the series. The atmosphere is just 👌. Pretty much all of the Dark Souls games have great atmosphere, but 3 was the best IMO.

I really enjoy this game. Fun mechanics, level design, music, enemies, bosses, etc. It's a steal for $1.50.

This is one reason I really liked my Dynamics professor. On the first day of class, he wrote "F=ma" on the white board and said, "See that equation? It hasn't changed much in the last 200 years. You don't need to buy the newest edition of the textbook; it's mostly just fixing errata. The lessons are virtually the same as the first edition."

May I ask what kind of sharpener you used? My pocket knife is overdue for a sharpening as well.

 

I'm stoked to have successfully received and decoded an SSTV signal from the ISS for the first time using my cheap Baofeng radio and QSSTV. Took a few tries, but luckily the ISS has been passing over my area several times per day over the last few days, so I've had several opportunities to try it.

 

Got a nice amount of mileage out of it. Went to go trim up my beard yesterday and it just fell apart. The battery hasn't worked in years, so it only worked if it was plugged into the charger. I picked up the charger and the plastic case around the plug broke in half, and one of the metal prongs meant to be plugged into the wall fell out. And the cable insulation split open, exposing the wires inside. I could've maybe just replaced the charger, but it's some random proprietary standard and the blades on the old one have obviously seen a lot of use, so I decided to get a whole new trimmer.

Got the replacement today and enjoyed a good trim; shortest my beard's been in a few years. It's too hot to keep it so long.
