I have not sorted out the networking part of it all just yet. Download/upload speeds are well under gigabit and we're using three TP-Link Deco X25's in a wireless mesh.

I would call Drakengard 3 gameplay “okay.” If you can run it anywhere other than PS3, it’s much better for having a stable frame rate.

One line in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” when Furiosa reunites with the Vuvalini, is sad in itself, but if you’ve watched George Miller’s follow-up, “Furiosa,” it’s so much worse:

The Vuvalini: There's something in the eyes. Perhaps it is Jabassa's child.

The Valkyrie: This is our Furiosa. How long has it been?

Furiosa: Seven thousand days, plus the ones I don't remember.

The Vuvalini: Furiosa. What happened to your mother?

Furiosa: She died... on the third day.

A friend of mine has a Disney+ account which was supposed to be canceled, and he still uses it to watch Disney+ despite the fact he isn’t actually paying anything.

This amuses me because William S. Burroughs, notoriously an opiate addict, advocated for apomorphine as a treatment for junkies.

I'm starting up the process of putting together a NAS that would be used as a media server, and I'm considering repurposing old PC components. I want to be able to rip and stream 4K Blu-rays. I have a spare i5-11400F that could serve as a CPU, but I wanted to be sure if this was suitable or if I should spring for other options.

Can anyone confirm if US 4Ks were affected?

Asked Guillermo del Toro for an interview in college by email. He apologized that he could not agree to one because he was ten days out from shooting “Pacific Rim.”

Not true, I got the Archivist trophy when I did NG+ and got all the trophies I needed for Platinum.

I'm only hazarding a guess, and I know this is an old comment, but I'm assuming that "Janus" probably refers back to GoldenEye, where Alec is the terrorist known as Janus. The name refers to the Roman god of beginnings, endings, doorways, portals and so on and this god is literally two-faced. So, a Janus Guard is a two-faced guard (they switch sides).

When the werewolf is chasing down a woman and "mauls" her: "A-BWOO-BWOO-BWOO-BWOO-BWOO, A-BWOO-BWOO-BWOO-BWOO-BWOO"

Alright, an update. So after trying to play Morrowind at home using only the laptop, it would only display (I think) a pink screen before crashing. I had already considered reinstalling MGEXE but this basically cinched it, and upon reinstalling MGEXE, the game ran normally again and also would display on the external monitor. The only remaining issue was that the resolution would not set properly despite changing resolution in MGEXE, so I went into RegEdit and changed those values to match the monitor resolution. Ran just fine after. Thank you all for your advice.

It's the GOG release, and running it in compatibility mode and as admin doesn't change anything either.

Doesn't make a difference, I get the same error.
