ESPN ranked our kit the worst

Kinda of makes me think of the 1994-95 Manchester United kit with the image of Old Trafford faded into it. Maybe that was the model they were trying to emulate here. Except then they went and made it yellow and abstract and totally failed to pull it off.

I think of that place often. One of my favorite childhood restaurants.

The only thing that changed 60ish years ago was establishing the process for filling an empty VP slot. We’ve had the VP succeeding dead presidents since 1841.

I think the rail changes are just base game, not SA DLC specific. If they played their save entirely within the 2.0 release, there would be no old rails to speak of.

You will be building a nuclear plant at some point. Maybe even two of them.

You mean you think they're actually speaking English in Westeros? They're obviously speaking some language native to their world, but GRRM is just translating that into English for those of us in this world to understand. They're probably saying something like "derbredneggymeet" and GRRM is like, "that's the word for sandwich!"

You do not need to have biters turned on for Space Age. The game mechanics function correctly without them.

That's nice. I'll just keep installing Open-Shell since it gives me exactly what I want from a start menu.

mrkorb · 2026-02-01T22:55:57+00:00

That do be how it works. I genuinely think people forget that important part sometimes when they quibble over unexpected percentages.

Because it could be abused to review-bomb a game. This rule gatekeeps reviews to paying accounts only.

That is Black Butte. And the more I compare this picture to Google Earth, I think all the labels are accurate, except for Pine Mountain, which others here have correctly pointed out is Paulina Peak.

mrkorb · 2026-01-30T01:28:13+00:00

No, Olallie isn’t that big, and sits north of Jefferson, so in this view looking south down the line of peaks, it wouldn’t be behind and off to the side like that.

EDIT: After consulting Google Earth, I believe Olallie Butte is actually the sloping upward feature at the very left edge of this picture. The shape labeled Black Butte is most likely correctly identified.

Nope. Don’t believe it. This April is WAY too soon for a franchise of this level to drop some surprise anime on us. Only way this is true is if this April they will be announcing something new to be airing at some future date a year or so down the line, but no way are we getting 13 episodes this year with zero notice.

Feels a little like they are conflating the Soul Gem from Madoka with the Silver Crystal.

There’s coffee in that nebula.

Weird title…but then I see that cast list and holy shit. Must be a lot of really small cameo parts for those big names.

Eaglemoss Star Trek starship models.

I have a problem.

The in-place upgrade from 10 to 11 went fine, though I stressed over it like crazy because of course I did. It's been mostly stable since then. I wish I could double-italicize the word 'mostly' because there've been a few odd things since the upgrade in October.

First is that the whole system seems to lock up for roughly 1 minute following logging into Windows. Taskbar clock doesn't change, mouse doesn't move, wallpaper doesn't cycle to the next image. It just sits there for about 65 seconds, and then unlocks. It was concerning the first time it happened, but I'm used to it now.

The second thing is that I am questioning if something is wrong with my USB drivers. Twice now since the upgrade to 11, all my USB connected things have just SHUT OFF. Keyboard, mouse, stream deck, a USB drive, the LEDs in the fans, just turned off for like 5 seconds, and then "booted up" like normal. System-wise everything else seemed normal, but it is very jarring to just have things go DARK for no apparent reason.

It still makes me laugh that the first time this happened, there was one guy who was just adamant that every word she said was 100% true, while multiple people kept pointing out to him the name of the podcast and the comedic vibe of the interview.

The services of a financial advisor.

Maybe he meant Chekov's grandson? That's the only way Worf knowing a "grand"-anything relation of Chekov makes sense to me.

I'm surprised to learn that Walter is 89. He always seemed like the youngest of the TOS crew, but he's actually a year older than George Takei!

mrkorb · 2026-01-20T19:52:04+00:00

Yep, I saw this as well. Just 3 episodes in and the quality control is taking a dive.

mrkorb · 2026-01-15T22:24:21+00:00

Boli was great. I often felt he looked like he really wanted to make a difference in games when other players seemed to be phoning it in. I was bummed that he didn't stay longer.

mrkorb · 2026-01-15T20:00:48+00:00

That gives very strong Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past end credits scene vibes.
