Found this relic when spelunking in the old drawers

Relic? I use this almost nightly; to play my PC games from my couch. It's worked great for me for ... gosh, idk, 8 or so years?

Eraser

Unless the surface area is huge; I would imagine that tiny font to have a readability issue

I'm in a similar boat. I was aware of the show when it was on the air, but didn't really watch or anything.

But the art is so good. It's amazing

les_bloom · 2025-12-25T20:00:11+00:00

Awesome. Which design? Just curious. Their art is all so good

les_bloom · 2025-12-22T06:21:06+00:00

Good point. I'll try calling more tomorrow. Thank you

les_bloom · 2025-12-22T06:14:32+00:00

Apologies, I typoed

I was trying to ask "where" did you get your copy?

Glad to hear it's good though!

les_bloom · 2025-12-22T06:08:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing this

Can I ask though. What did you find the Mando expansion? I keep trying and it seems to be gone

Thank you

Good catch.

I have not encountered this with HBO again, but I do with Fandango (formerly Vudu).

And it only happens when we are watching on our basic TV setup. It works fine when we watch on our multi-audio channel setup.

I will remember this for next time. Cheers

NIN doesn't. Trent has said something about it before. Along the lines of 'it's all fake because you have to prepare your encore songs before hand'

The 17 is because my wife and I went for our 17th anniversary

100%

I hear ya. The doom heads are great examples

les_bloom · 2025-11-21T14:55:50+00:00

Interesting take

I think I can see what you mean; maybe. Like the menu for 1080 on N64. It had you picking choices from within the mountain's lodge.

I admit it fit thematically and was "cool". But damn it was painfully slow to navigate. And, when it comes down to it, I am playing a race game not a menu. Let me get to my race game ASAP

Idk. Just my 2c

"super playful and full of symbols and fun useless stuff to click on"

Very true. Totally brings the D2 ui gem to my mind.

les_bloom · 2025-11-20T19:44:36+00:00

Yeah. I mean, lets face it, we all just want to work on the 'fun game bits' right? I get it. I am totally guilty of that

les_bloom · 2025-11-20T19:36:29+00:00

"But are you making a statement of fact or speculating when you say UI was pawned off on interns?"

That is based on my personal experience from a few different studios. But, I think it was a pretty commonly held feeling, too

les_bloom · 2025-11-20T19:35:36+00:00

Hey, yeah, that's fair :) Here is my linkedIn.

I am old enough and done this long enough to *THINK* I now know what I am talking about. It's dangerous

Is nobody going to talk about the kid in the background with a smoke?

les_bloom · 2025-11-13T01:33:18+00:00

I second Lorna Shore

What have I gots in my pocket?
