    Yeah, I remember the project. OS/X86 I believe it was called. Considered it for a while but seemed like more trouble than it was worth. Also, I hate the macOS desktop environment. Can't stand it. But, I will say, seems like most software developers prefer the Mac. I'm on Linux now, so I...

    Windows 11

    It's a school system, so my immediate thought was some ancient IE11 ActiveX shit. I'm sure that's no longer used, though. Right, I would think any modern browser should be fine. Microsoft has their latest Edge for Linux. That could be an option as a secondary browser.

    Well, I find their opinions more meaningful than someone with a half hour of playtime that go, "nah".

    Crimson Desert

    I find it interesting to read the negative Steam reviews from players with 100+ hours under their belt. The common theme is: the game is an ocean wide and puddle deep. So it seems if exploration isn't your bag, this doesn't have much to offer.

    Insurance Claim Questions

    Anyone here work (or used to work) medical claim denials? I'm trying to understand what that looks like day to day, and articles only get me so far. If you'd be open to a short DM and answering a few questions, I'd appreciate it. Stuff like: how a denial shows up, what you do with it, how long...

    We have our PI planning this week. I swear these product management folk are morons. This is what drives me crazy: they come up with a feature idea, present it to ONE person (the "architect" who doesn't even know our product well) to get their feedback, and then just run with it. I hate that...

    Don't they get royalties? Or maybe that was the pre-streaming world.

    Project Hail Mary

    Yeah, my complaint (only having seen the movie) is that despite being visually very alien, the Eridians still had too much human-like personality. Still, a great movie and message.

    I don't know. I'm probably wrong, but I feel we're close to the end of this nonsense. Hollywood is in no position to keep wracking up losers.

    You know, I think Samara Weaving would've made a damn perfect Silver Age Supergirl. Blonde hair, blue eyes, skinny and rockin' bod.

    Why would they follow up Superman with another Super/Kryptonian movie? Baffling choice. Who approves this shit? Do they just hand out blank checks and tell them to have fun? I never understood how truly terrible movies make it all the way through. I mean, if I was "the boss" I'd get experts /...

    I picked up Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2. I think the last dungeon crawler I played was waaaaay back in the early 90s. Probably Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld. Also, loved Dungeon Master on my Atari ST. Grimrock reminds me so much of that game... probably an homage to it I imagine. BUT I...

    She was very cute when young, but as an adult, while still pretty, she is kind of odd looking. Sort of like Macaulay Culkin but not that extreme.

    It's come way off its highs, but I've never understood how META's stock is valued so high. Are they really making that much ad revenue from Facebook and Instagram?

    Obsession (2026)

    Tough to watch, tbh. EDIT: I split this across two nights and have just finished it. This really does feel like a modern day The Exorcist and seems just as culturally impactful. Overall, it was a good movie. However, I don’t think I’ll watch it again anytime soon... for the same reason as...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Personally, I think super hero movies are done, other than Spider-Man. The problem is, Gen-Z doesn't give a shit, and Hollywood has managed to piss off the demographic that does give a shit. I think that's one of the reasons MotU did so poorly despite being pretty okay.

    Yeah, speaking of the golem, what was the deal that? Why even bother creating it if it didn't do shit? What bugs me about this series is that they can never get a win. Yes they managed to kinda kill one monster, but would've been cool if *something* happened that put a major kink in yellow...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    If I had been in control of the franchise, I would have chosen Power Girl. I would have taken heroes and villains from across the DC multiverse and integrated them into this continuity. That might have been pretty interesting. And, of course, I would have cast very attractive actors in those roles.

    For one PC, I had to buy a USB bluetooth dongle which I plugged into the front. Yeah the other one is on the motherboard and I definitely did not use an antenna. In fact I don't even recall it coming with one. Perhaps I missed it. Anyway, using the provided Gamesir dongle everything worked...

    Yeah, I think this right here is the problem. All this time I've been trying to use generic/onboard bluetooth adapters. I have a Gamesir pad and will try using it's supplied adapter.

    I have never EVER had any luck getting wireless gamepad controllers to work on a PC. *Any* PC. They will work briefly (like for a few minutes) and then randomly die. I have a PS4 / PS5 and they have never had an issue so I don't think it's anything in my environment. Any tips? Not sure what...
