Awhile ago, I went through a spree of watching old Godzilla movies. I downloaded all the Heisei era uploaded them to my Plex server. I had zero problems with them. But as I was watching Godzilla vs Mothra (1992), I noticed it consistently froze at a specific time stamp: around 27:00 minutes...

I recently replayed one of my all-time favourite games, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. It still holds up, even if Gabriel himself is a sexist pig. But there's a puzzle near the end where you have to collect 10 stone slabs and place them in sequential order in 12 different rooms (2 are...

News just broke that Akira Toriyama has passed away. While he had many creative achievements, he is best known for creating Dragonball and Dragonball Z. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/dragon-ball-creator-akira-toriyama-dead-68/

My favourite annual tradition returns! From emergency room reports, we learn what objects were stuck in places they maybe shouldn't be. https://defector.com/what-did-we-get-stuck-in-our-rectums-last-year-4 Some of my favorites. EAR "HAS BEEN PUTTING PAPER PRODUCTS IN HER EARS TO KEEP THE...

I turned on my computer this morning and woke up to my desktop looking like this. File Explorer doesn't look any better. All my icons are missing. (Note, my desktop background is normally black. I used to play around with the backgrounds, but can't be bothered anymore. So that's not out of the...

Aw, no. This one hurts. Keith Giffen co-created characters like Lobo and Rocket Raccoon. He did the art breakdowns for the 52 series, which helped keep a consistency despite multiple artists. He also wrote several miniseries for Marvel's Annihilation event, which paved the way for the new...

Best known for voicing the break-out character of Harley Quinn, Arleen Sorkin passed away today. I don't think anyone would argue with me that Sorkin's performance helped Quinn's rise to permanence within the DC Universe.

This one hits me a little. Funk was an absolute legend in the business and apparently one of the sweetest guys. He was a huge mentor for Mick Foley, one of my all-time favorite wrestlers.

Both of my girlfriend's monitors suddenly stopped working this morning. They were working fine last night. I tried fiddling around with both of them. One is an HDMI to HDMI. The other is 4k, with an HDMI to DP. One of them recognizes that it's connected, searches for the right input, only to...

This one's for my fellow Canadians. Best known as a sex positive educator, Sue Johanson hosted a number of sex education shows on Canadian television and radio. She talked about sex in a frank, open manner. I remember watching her back in the 90s and 2000s. It was always funny when she made a...

Who doesn't love a good demo? I'm glad demos are seeing a resurgence in recent years. If not demos, then free trials. Anything to let gamers get a taste of a game before deciding whether it's worth buying. Some demos got me to wishlist the game or even back it on Kickstarter, like The Wandering...

When I did my 200 hour yoga teacher training years ago, one of the things we studied was meditation. It was something I dabbled in here and there, but always struggled with it. It's hard for me to ground myself and to let all the negative thoughts out long enough to concentrate for 5-10 minutes...

Welp, the writers in Hollywood are on strike, which means that, unless this is settled fast, we're about see repeats of the 2007 strike. The Writer's Guild of America (WGA) are being very transparent about their demands, too. This isn't just about pay, although that is part of it. This is also...

The last of the original MAD Magazine creators. Best know for the foldable cartoons. One hell of a legacy.

I tried to think of a more clever title, but honestly, Adam Conover's title for this video suits it perfectly. Starting with this excellent breakdown of how all the promises for A.I. by tech companies is bullshit, let's have a thread dedicated to all the bullshit around A.I.

It's dead at work today, which probably means it'll be like this all day. So, how about an AMA? Preferably one question at a time, please.

Ah, it's my favourite time of the year where we gather around the fire to learn what moron stuck something in an orifice it didn't belong. Fellas, we've all been there before, right? “CEILING FAN CHAIN IN HIS PENIS HOLE, STATES IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE HIS SHOWER AT 9 LAST NIGHT”...

Best known for voicing Batman/Bruce Wayne in the Batman Animated Series, and multiple other places. He was 66 years old. This is heartbreaking. I didn't even know he was sick. https://thedirect.com/article/batman-kevin-conroy-dies

I have a number of movies and shows as video files on my desktop computer. However, for comfort, I'd really like to watch them on my TV, so I can relax on my coach to watch something. I used to use a Steam Link, but it streams only up to 1080p and my TV is 4K. I also find the streaming...

I've noticed this for awhile and never brought it up, but on my cell phone, in the Chrome browser, the text editing options are all greyed out. Even if I highlight a piece of text, it won't let me, say, bold or italicize it. It's a minor thing at best, so I never brought it up before. But it's...
