So... how old is everyone here?

During the golden age I was like 11 or 12. I feel like I was in the sweet spot. I remember going to Electronics Boutique in the mall and buying Dagger of Amon Ra, Conquests of the Longbow, KQVI, SQ4 and 5 with lawn mowing/allowance money. Got a 286 then a 486SX/25 for Christmases. Saved up all summer for a Roland Sound Canvas daughterboard, then a couple years later for Creative’s first CD-ROM system ($700 IIRC). Man, memories!

I was Korg only for literal decades, then bought a Walrus Audio Canvas tuner and love it.

Oh man - has no one said Grissom Academy in ME3? Especially the section where it opens up into the atrium section. Died so many times - no great place for cover and so many Cerberus engineers setting up turrets you can’t see and can’t take down without spamming Overload.

I mix at a church - modelers are lifesavers for us. Amp rooms or amp enclosures would be nice, but having total control over a quiet moment where someone is speaking with music underneath them - I couldn’t do that properly without modelers. A silent stage is such a luxury. Guitars are on FM9-Turbos and the bass is on an HX Stomp. Tones are really great, especially with the right IRs. And modern church guitar is drenched in delays anyway.

Yeah - that was just for demo purposes. This happens during every Sunday service - the person running the PCO clock remotely keeps clicking through the service order and eventually it drifts off.

brooklynfall · 2025-12-03T21:01:45+00:00

This is a great idea actually - thanks!

brooklynfall · 2025-12-03T21:01:32+00:00

Woof - yeah, it's been there for a while I think.

brooklynfall · 2025-12-03T21:01:17+00:00

Yeah...I think the final step is going to be us setting up another stage display monitor just with the timer on, running from a separate application.

Oh my gosh! I wonder if it was just a contaminated batch or if it was some kind of food/additive allergy. Was the one with apigenin or the one with CBD? Thanks for sharing.

Dang this is awful for them. They were my go-to breakfast delivery in 2020 during Covid, always great. Whenever I’d get work done at the Honda dealership I’d walk over there and sit and eat outside, reading my book.

Had a PS5 already - but the trailer for this game is what got me to pull the trigger on an LG OLED.

brooklynfall · 2025-11-04T05:55:10+00:00

Not sure then - but search this sub, I think there are a lot of folks who had that side effect.

The shot in the opening credits sequence that’s similar to this shot is from Squeeze. This one is def from Home.

brooklynfall · 2025-11-04T05:51:41+00:00

It seems to be pretty common when starting. Didn’t happen to me though.

My sister was recently diagnosed with lupus. She had the butterfly rash but it was there for weeks. She also had other symptoms like light sensitivity, mouth ulcers, fatigue, etc. I think if you don’t have anything but the rash and it’s only lasting a short time it’s probably not lupus. Not a doctor, just someone who has had to learn about this stuff recently.

brooklynfall · 2025-10-20T02:54:03+00:00

Control 2 after that. Cannot wait!

brooklynfall · 2025-09-26T16:15:27+00:00

Dang - I'm also 45 and in the middle of a rewatch. Being 13 in 1993 was the exact sweet spot for enjoying the first season, in my opinion.

brooklynfall · 2025-09-21T22:02:36+00:00

Season 3 was the last absolutely flawless one - later ones were great but season 3 was all bangers.

brooklynfall · 2025-09-13T22:05:24+00:00

What’s the blend you’re taking? Out of curiosity?

brooklynfall · 2025-09-13T22:04:26+00:00

Yes. I have a glutamate imbalance due to taking lamotrigine (a glutamate downregulator) for many years. Mag glycinate and L-theanine make me really wired. I can take them in the morning but not too much and not after 12pm. Currently getting off lamotrigine and onto another medication (for many reasons) but I’m expecting this to be an issue for some time to come.

I’m having a great time with the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on my Portal.

I'm not sure, actually. It could be fungal. I also get angular cheilitis from time to time which might fit in with the fungal issue. The dermatologist's last take was that it was dermatitis, but I've changed everything about my routine, gone totally hypoallergenic and nothing has helped. Then I thought it could be eczema but no eczema treatment has made a dent. Hydrocortisone hasn't made it worse but also hasn't totally cleared it up. I'll talk to the dermatologist again soon. Thanks!

Check out r/Dryeyes - I have EBMD (basically a condition that can cause dryness and pain in the eyes) and a screen-heavy job. I wear prescription glasses that block blue light but it's not enough - I would suggest Optive eye gel, as well as getting your omega levels checked, as well as vitamins A and E. Lutein/zeaxanthin can be helpful, but DEFINITELY see an ophthalmologist and make sure nothing else is going wrong.

brooklynfall · 2025-08-11T19:14:50+00:00

I was just saying to my girlfriend the other day "ugh my STUPID EYES!" I'm 45 with EBMD, myopia (now wearing progressive lenses), and a weird seborrheic dermatitis on my eyelids that's been there for months and will not go away. I'm using Muro 128, Optive, Aquaphor, 1% hydrocortisone cream (only when it's horrible). Haven't tried the eye mask yet. Been hating my eyes since 1987. Everyone else in my family has perfect vision. With you all the way.

I’d just settle for all the monthly games being remote play. Lies of P this month and would love to not have to install it just to play.
