Past two days have been a trip down memory lane. I'll probably spend the entire next week in the sort of depressive episode nostalgic reverie that always comes any time that happens.

Maybe Bolsonaro is right when even police stop people from voting for radical leftists their ?

Assuming our news coverage is correct, by now Lula's leading by more votes than Bolsanaro could realistically still get. Good on you Brazilians, did you bring unmarked white vans with extra ballots and manipulated some voting machines too? Should have stopped the steal earlier. Jokes aside, I hope nobody's going to try and pull a Trump, but with Bolsanaro that is far from a given.

They made The 7th Guest, the game with the legendary soup can puzzle. It took some serious moon logic to create the riddles for The 7th Guest. I guess as much as making the deduction that someone has a point just because he spent a lot of money on it, so I figured you made adventure games in the past.

Bonus points when the relevant skill is only used once and never brought up again. Like Ami's ability to seal off a bubble of space time to lock away the bad guys in the manga.

Fixed that for you. Heh, you always claim to be a banker, but in reality you're either Robert Stein or Rob Landeros, right?

Secret footage of the allies' current superweapon:

Great, now you guys made me go and check the components on a local pricing portal. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor: € 141 Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard € 132 Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory € 59 Storage: Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive € 84 Video Card: Asus DUAL Radeon RX 6600 8 GB Video Card € 273 Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case € 109 Power Supply: Phanteks AMP 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply € 96 Total: 894 €. Give or take a few as I didn't bother with the cent values and rounded. Prices include 20% VAT, feel free to subtract 16.67% from the total to see what it would be without tax. Single biggest difference is the graphics card. Is there some alcohol in the components and you can only buy from Systembolaget? What the hell?

Not really, but I thought it would make for a fun post to strike it from the maybe pile due to having a hundred spinoffs.

Time to remove Appleseed from the maybe pile…

Yeah, just wanted to post exactly that, these prices are probably without factoring in user location and varying sales taxes. Buying the same components in Austria costs a bit more, but that is after a 20% VAT. Things sure have quieted down a bit on the hardware market. I also noticed that the Bestware build link actually works now. Funny, could have sworn it did not yesterday, perphaps a caching problem. Looking at the typos in my post, I should stay away from late night posting. Edit: Also, by throwing in another 50$ or so, you can get the above system with an i5-12400F and a B660 DDR4 mainboard, which will give you one more potential CPU generation upgrade to an i5-13xxx later (by all accounts those are ~20% faster than 12th gen). As far as I know, new AMD CPUs will require new platforms with DDR5 which are much more pricey. That depends a lot on whether you want to upgrade later or not - and you'd need to pick a mainboard where a BIOS upgrade to support 13th gen is realistically on the table, which should be no issue if you stick with one of the larger brands.

I played around with Bestware's configurator, but the share link it offered just goes back to the default configuration. Not that it makes much of a difference, I can't get a decent system to not go way above Hurlshot's price range even when making (nigh unaccaptable) tradeoffs on the SSDs, memory, the entire platform and the PSU. Ah, I also don't know if they ship overseas, and even if they do, that would add unreasonable shipping costs. Guess this post as very little helpful content. Newegg has - or at least had - bundles in their shop with incompatible hardware, like bundling DDR5 only mainboards with DDR4 RAM. Good job. Given the price and the curious lack of any brand names on the specs, I'd say this cheaped out on everything possible. Not that it is saying much, my parents had two of these cheapo prebuilt computers, and they worked and worked and worked and worked and never died. The last one actually lasted almost 10 years. Was still a third generation i3 doing its job (more or less, since my father picked up video editing as a hobby that proved to be a little bit of a downer - not much of a surprise, huh?). edit: link seems to work. Some modifications above baseline, especially for the SSD, just click on "configurator" to see the changes.

It was pretty popular the last time someone posted the video. Well, the second one, at least, after which we talked about how much I hate System of a Down's vocalist, with @bugarup saying he unironically likes him and @Bartimaeus saying he at least doesn't hate him. As for when that actually was, I'd say "recently" which is anywhere from yesterday back to 2005. But yeah, that's pretty awesome.

*snort* The version with the English subtitles has barely any comments on it, but the regular trailer is full of people complaining about political correctness ruining even films about the army now. Does everyone need to be gay these days? Why this wokeness? Why ruin everything? Yes, why indeed. Why is a biopic about a career soldier, who has hidden his homosexuality for the longest of timest, about gay soldiers? Indeed, one is left to wonder, even after the two married a while back. Nah, must be to appease the tofu-eating, Guardian-reading, woke Twitterati.

That was meant for the people here not liking Bubble, of course.

Joyful day: more reminders of how everyone else's tastes suck.

Oh, I don't know, you're a racist and don't like Indians? But maybe - maybe! - because they still let them scam their own people, apparently, even after being served evidence on a silver platter. Tough, dunno, I'm going with racist here. Racist!

Oh dear god, do not give them any ideas, imagine what rigor mortis could do to Minhago's and Staunton's... uhm... brrrrrz. Brain reset. Reset. Reboot complete. Hi, I recently played this game, and I liked it a lot, except for the puzzle content. What do you think?

My condolences. Edit: I'd rather replay the full battle squares in IWD2 than doing Enigma again.

Sounds like you guys need cookies.

That is because Neil Breen is the best at everything.

6:41 in and I already want to turn it off after hearing the explanation for last week's super dumb episode end. Seriously? What is it with writeres these days lampshading their terrible writing as if that makes it all right? Oh we know it was bad, look! Look! With each passing day my disposition creeps ever closer to Will Ferrell's interpretation of Alex Trebek.
