Gorth

More Guild Wars 2.... "The Desolation". One of those days where I'm quite happy without the full virtual reality experience. Those wastes and boiling pits are sulfur. Anyone remember from chemistry class what boiling sulfur smells like? Yeah, the rotten egg stench would probably have made my nostrils bleed!

Deleted a few posts. I would recommend commenting on the subject and the ideas, not on fellow posters.

I was a late comer to PC My first email address was indeed gorth@soemthinguniversity.dk in 1991 but my computer at home for many years (and my first internet capable computer) was ye olde Commodore Amiga. I did get TCP/IP for my old Commodore 64 too, but never got to use it. The Amiga however was active on the net until it got retired. It was actually Fallout (the official demo that got released) and Tomb Raider that was to blame for that. Couldn't run properly on the PC Emulator I had I *think* my first PC was a Pentium II that I built. Edit: I had email address at uni before that, but it was the first with my old gamer name (Gorth as in, the chosen one, saviour of the universe, slayer of Doomdark etc. is from around 1982)

Yeah, those planes had both a left and a right wing... Edit: That's it, I need more sleep. Dang heat is starting to get to me

Experiencing "global warming" up close and personal I think it's going to be one of those days today indeed. 35 degrees when I got out of bed this morning (that's 95f for North Americans). Forecast says 45-46 in the afternoon (113-115f). I saw pictures from South Australia where people were baking cookies on rocks outside their home.

I'll admit my infatuation with the BBQ (A "Baby Weber" special edition) is because it's practical. Little cleaning required afterwards and no food smell lingering indoors for the next 6-12 hours. Most meats (steak, fish, chicken) can be cooked in 10 minutes. I usually give the fish (I love fresh salmon sides) a bit longer. I do have a "flat" plate for things like fish and vegetables (grilled pumpkin is good). Potatoes... well, they do need almost a full hour at low heat. Wrapped in aluminium foil with a bit of olive oil and herbs, served with chicken, creme fraiche, corn or whatever you like to add for flavour.

Were your parents by any chance French? I remember working on a project outside Paris for a while.... the local places seemed obsessed with boiling otherwise perfectly good meat Meat belongs on a BBQ dammit!

Taken with the built in function. My little Asura engineer guy feels a bit... lost in the jungle?

Thanks Fenixp, I'll give that a (screen)shot on Dosbox I did try ShadowPlay (I have an nVidia card), but it was too awkward and too cumbersome to use with it's default shortcuts. I might have to see if something can be done about that though. Ideally it would be one background program fits all purposes.

Hmm... I think I need to go hunting for some "screenshot" software that is easy to use. I love it when games have support for the Print Screen key, but lots of especially older games don't. Open to recommendations (works with Dosbox and old GoG games is an added bonus).

And here I thought all Americans loved Trump and they (except the filthy commies democrats of course, it's a known fact they hate America, guns and freedom and democracy and whatever) would happily sacrifice everything to benefit from the protection of a medieval style wall! Now, if it started to affect his own businesses, then who knows, compromise (actual compromise) might be a possibility?

All good things has an end... only sausages have two! (badly translated from a German song) More gaming experiences here

Start of the old thread End of the old thread Several, lesser known titles. If nothing else, just to see what it was I actually bought Two that I remember from top of my head (from the last 24 hours) "RWBY" and "Don't Starve Together" (edit: played quite a bit of Borderlands 2: The Pre-sequel" in coop mode earlier in the week with two friends)

Politics... one of humanity's never ending tragedies. More politics here

Hum, fried Camembert is properly enjoyed with lingonberry jam. I should stop watching old Star Trek... I just read that as klingonberry

Start of the old thread End of the old thread Funny things about old lyrics... give them a few decades and they might become relevant! "Anarchy for the U.K. It's coming sometime and maybe I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line Your future dream has sure been seen through"

Since I live within easy walking distance of my work place, I often go home for some quick and dirty lunch. By quick, I mean 180 seconds, aka 3 minutes. A truly multinational meal too Slices of Australian toast bread (the first two minutes is waiting for the toaster), adding a generous layer of imported Danish Blue Cheese and some imported Canadian Maple Syrup on top. Salty and Sweet both ticked off the list! One of the few things I know that is more tasty requires too much time and equipment I don't have (Deep fried Camembert with blueberry jam on toast)

The Maginot Line was such a success in keeping the Germans out of France

I think you guys might just have dodged a bullet in 1776

Not a new discovery per se, but apparently we need find bigger and better particles. Or some such. Time to bring in the bigger guns in the hunt for particles of CERN is to be believed. FCC - Four times larger and ten times more powerful than the LHC. Should they manage to open a gateway to a nightmare dimension in 2050, well, I'm too old to care https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46862486

I believe the last thing anyone wants is a rekindling of the old IRA/UK conflict. Most people know or have heard of the conflict, but most people outside Europe doesn't know how bloody the conflict in the 70's and 80's really was (3000 dead and 49000 wounded). Westminster will/would go to great lengths to try to preserve the current level of happiness in the region.

It's official (Ok, maybe not, but it sure is anecdotal!)... Australia Post is BADLY in need of privatization I was supposed to get 3 deliveries through the AU Post the last month. First up was an internet modem. Arrived in Ok time, was sent express. However, the only way I knew where to find it was the online tracker. No messages, no card, not even an effin SMS telling me that they couldn't be bothered to deliver to my address, come and pick it up at our local distribution center. Second was a parcel from a hotel in Brisbane (because, being silly me, I forgot a jumper and my passport there before flying back to Melbourne). That one apparently arrived a week ago at the local post office. Again, no hint whatsoever (nor any delivery attempts). Going to walk there today during my lunch break and see if they still got my stuff, even though it's not a full week later. Third... I bought a new mechanical gaming keyboard. $250, not the plastic toys that most people are happy with. Paid extra to have it shipped express too. Would it surprise anyone that it "mysteriously" disappeared en route, tracking showing it arriving in central Melbourne and then no more tracking entries. That was a week and a half ago. What could possibly be the reason for an expensive gaming keyboard getting lost from the tracking system??? Yeah, not a serious question, I have some very unflattering suspicions.
