I have a bunch of old roms. PM me and I’ll see what I can do to get them to you.

And just like a goose, if you step over one you’ll find your nether bits in a very precarious situation.

He’s (surprisingly) demonstrated a willingness to actually get some things done. I never would have thought that he would given all we were hearing about him before, but he’s not been a complete roadblock to governing, so the question is do Dems take this small concession that he’s actually willing to govern or take a chance that the Republicans put someone in there who is more hostile and prone to standoffs.

I tend to agree, though. Politically, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for Dems to support him, or for Republicans to side with Democrats, which their base will absolutely loathe, so if he gets put on the chopping block it’s likely that no one will save him on either side.

I never played the games but was able to pick up enough through context clues about what each group is all about and generally what’s going on. I do have lots of questions about the specifics of each group, but I’m hoping that in future episodes (I am only a few episodes in) and seasons they flesh things out a bit more to fill in some of the more mysterious aspects of the show.

I’m not advocating for praising him, but everyone is vilifying him for coming around to a different point of view. He’s growing as a person. Maybe not in the altruistic way that you’d like, but it’s still growth. If we stay up on our high horses insisting everyone do the right thing just because it’s the right thing and for no other reason then we’re going to be waiting a very, very long time for change.

Take the fucking win and move on.

If your first instinct is to condemn this man for what he used to believe I would urge you to think about how we would ever go about affecting change without people like this who believe one thing, then see the error of their ways and change their mind. Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.

You see, if it’s a legitimate Republican, the body has a way of shutting down the bullshit so it doesn’t get implanted in the brain.

I just got the jingle jam collection and started playing Godfall. Straight forward smack-em-with-a-sword game but lots of fun so far. Kinda reminds me of kingdoms of amalur. Hoping to try out a few more games from the collection as well as I’ve heard good things about quite a few of them.

Dee vee deee… Spin 'em, burn 'em, stick 'em in a 'puter.

I use Plex. I have different libraries set up for movies, TV shows, educational videos, home videos, and during the pandemic it was great because my kids were doing dance class remotely, so I even set up a library so they could have all their dance class videos in one spot to practice their routines. I also organize my family photos there as well, which works out great to have those and the home videos all in one place. I can even give family members access to various libraries if they want to view family photos/videos, which has been handy as well.

Lots of people swear by jellyfin, but I’ve had so much success with Plex that I haven’t bothered to check it out. It’s probably easy enough to get a server for each up and running and see which you prefer.

Do you know where the pairing key is stored? The instructions just say “obtain the pairing key” which isn’t particularly helpful…

ask you to signup for a library card.

Diabolical…

Same here. Plex just makes sharing with family so much simpler. My mom and dad can figure it out just as easily as my kids can and the amount of time I have to do tech support for anyone has been literal zero, which is a huge bonus for me, personally.

Yeah, it sounds like a problem with a contributor to Shutterstock not following the terms of use. The person who put together the marketing materials for Loki was just using stock images. I don’t think it should be on them to enforce shutterstock’s TOU.

Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism

So we’re in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.

All of the pieces. On both sides of the board. Mentally it’s much more taxing keeping track of which pieces are yours. We guys have it really easy with the whole black/white pieces.

I’m trying to reserve judgement until I see it, but the trailer did not do a great job of getting me excited to see this. It looked like it would be a made for tv movie that they’d stick on the Disney channel or something.

You’ll have to fight me, Tim Eagames, for him! But not before we join forces to best Samantha Bethesda, our sworn nemesis.

And you don’t even have to rewind the tapes

It’s true you don’t have to rewind the DVDs, but I always do just because I really appreciate everything the library provides to the community. Anything I can do to make the librarians jobs easier, you know?

The cynical part of me wants to say that’s by design. That reddit wants to get rid of good moderation tools so that it can allow more paid astroturfung to get more revenue.
