Yeah, bought them as speaker stands.
My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:
In my living room at the time:
All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
70% sure she just married me for the TV.
7·1 day agoProblem is it can’t sort by number of there are text values in file name. “11” is a number. “11.” is not. :) Fun with computers!
It’s also why stuff like this exists:
Filenames are text, not numbers, so 11 comes before 2. So does 111, 101, etc. Anything starting with 1 is before 2.
In order to sort “properly”, you have to name your files properly.
00
01
02
up to…
99If you have more than 100 files in the same folder, the you have to go back through and re-name them:
000
001
002
… 099
100
It’s sorting correctly.
11 comes after 1.
The problem is the data needs to be fixed. 01, 02, 03…
I’d add a variant on this:
Games where you spend hours unlocking death traps in tombs that haven’t been opened in 500 to 1,000 years only to find the mercenary opposition has already beaten you inside.
Looking at you Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, etc.
Nobody personally knows the Pope well enough to be openly weeping in Church. They may THINK they do, they don’t.
I didn’t hate the guy or anything, but I have to say, I don’t understand all the tears over the Pope. It’s a lifetime appointment generally held by really old men. Of course they’re going to die… just wait, there will be another one shortly.
Heck, Francis is the 3rd to die this century alone.

Well how else do you smash robot necks? ;)
I could see that, Magnus also has a more direct parallel:

31·7 days agoWill it let you install a virtual machine? 🤔

True Fantasy Live Online looked like it would have been amazing.
Look for single player stuff, I found the Bioshock games incredibly well paced.
How long before they cut out half the game and blame the players?
I was looking for an original to restore but there are problems doing that:
They are FULL of paper capacitors. All of which have to be replaced.
Once you do that, the set is still black and white and has no modern inputs, coaxial and dipole only.
So in my research, I found a tiny company in Dousman, WI who bought the Philco Predicta license. Not sure if they are still making them, keep in mind this was all 25 years ago. Was $2,500 + freight shipping.
