adiwan: @scribus I liked the Simon The Sorcerer 2 interface the best for Point & Click adventures. It's slightly sleeker than Monkey Island 2 with icons instead of words. I don't like MI3 or Full Throttle's "coin" nor Sam & Max's where the functions have to be cycled through with the right click. Maniac Mansion 1 is definitely the worst with too many verbs and too much tiny text.

adiwan: @scribus I only know I when I was young I was hooked on the series. The movie was obviously bad. I grabbed a copy from the high Internet seas and watched it. If it comes to streaming it'll be good watch to kill time.

adiwan: @scribus I went back to Slay The Spire 2 and unlocked the last bit. After that I have a gaping abyss full of backlog games. I own console games I have never even tried. The biggest road block is that I have to set up the consoles in the first place as all of them are in the boxes from my move into my current home.

adiwan: @scribus It's a dick move then that achievements (feats) are disabled when those, frankly speaking, accessibility options are enabled. I really liked Shovel Knight and it was a properly tough game. Not too hard but challenging, and the mechanics are not unfair. I don't have the same quality experience with Mina the Hollower.

zeldatra: @scribus I watched it in theaters on Thursday. I ordered an old fashioned and then, midway into the movie, looked around and realized that I was the only person in the audience who was drinking alcohol. I then ordered a second old fashioned. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876767

adiwan: @scribus Ah. I'm generally more disappointed that "sorbet" ice cream is not more common and flavors like orange, pineapple, and sweet woodruff are not more common. I'm sick seeing chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and cherry.

adiwan: @scribus I know! It's like a kick in the groin into my bank account. The leadership in Canada has stupid high demands in profit and we haven't reached them 7 years in a row. Also a ton of people here don't have a billable project, which is also not a good standpoint to ask for more.

adiwan: @scribus Sounds quite the reason to cancel the session. My last week's session was cancelled because one of our group is a teacher and had to correct this year's final exams in computer science and mathematics and had to do twice the load because a teacher is ill for almost half a year.

adiwan: @scribus I walked multiple times into the low-hanging ceiling lamp from the previous owner in my current home. I cannot fathom having anything than low profile ceiling lamps. A ceiling fan is for me a death sentence that would lead to my decapitation or to severe brain damage.

adiwan: @scribus I watched the trailer afterwards on Youtube and it was quite the opposite reaction. I was more leaning towards that the trailer was doing a misfavor to the movie.

adiwan: @scribus Yeah. The soil is pretty compacted due to walking on it and quite clay-y. I spent 10 euro bucks for a bag of this seed. If it won't work due to my own incompetency forgetting to water it in the next weeks it'll be not a huge loss.

adiwan: @scribus I used a felt pen like thing that had a liquid that destroyed the ink color (only blue ink) and the other side of the pen had a regular felt pen to write over the part as new ink would be erased on that spot. We called it "Tintenkiller" - "Ink killer" (the normal word is "Tintenlöscher" - "Ink eraser").

adiwan: @scribus I am glad not having to use fountain pens. From grade 3 to 10 I had to use fountain pens with cartridges, just standard Lamy and Pelikan pens. My sweaty hands were always covered with ink because the ink didn't dry fast enough or just pickup by my sweat. Also the ink eraser smells are nasty. At home I have only the cheapest BIC ball pens and Kuru Toga mechanical pencils.

adiwan: @scribus I get you. I had a similar reaction at the first episode but I got quickly used to. Production schedules are always a mess. Many cogs in the system with any points of failure with as many compromises. I don't believe they did it on purpose stretching the release as they did. I think there are most likely scheduling conflicts and creative differences in the way. My mother regularly asks me when new Outlander episodes will be released and I have to console here that's taking a long time to film. On top of that I have to wait for the German synchro to be released for download.

adiwan: @scribus No. I can see past that. It's unfair to point that out as the actors can't do anything against that. I bet CGI doctoring would look worse. It's less aggregious

adiwan: @scribus Yeah. It sucks when the series updates very irregularly. I am still waiting for new Saga issues, however they keep on waiting. What's worse is buying into a series and shortly after it being cancelled. Happened to me a few times. I also bought the first issue and all future issues got cancelled like "Trust Fall" https://www.amazon.com/TRUST-FALL-English-Christopher-Sebela-ebook/dp/B07RF2YMCV Looked amazing. Synopsis amazing. Cancellation not so. In a weird way I trusted the series and they let me fall. In hindsight wonderfully meta.

adiwan: @scribus I own the first Elegoo Mars SLA 3D printer. It uses an array of UV LEDs that shines through an LCD that masks the areas that exposes the UV-curing resin. That is below the resin VAT that has a very sturdy, slightly flexible and transparent bottom. The actual model that is 3D-printed is attached to a parallel platform that moves up (and down) such that the exposed resin is at the defined layer height. Sadly it's not that cool-looking. It needs about an hour of print time until the printed model can be seen while printing. It's also a source of my anger as a failed print takes that time to be detected.

adiwan: @scribus I've seen American Psycho, Phone Booth, Bladerunner 2049, and Morbius. So my count is the same. Morbius was the only film I deliberately watched to see Leto and even my pretty low expectations were somehow challenged by his bizzarre acting. Besides that everyone was idiotic in that film.
