Anyone remember Case Ace's Gear Grips? Back in the day (early 00s) I had harnesses to carry a mid tower, a Shuttle SFF, and a 17" CRT. And they still sucked to move. Surprised that this company is still around.

Blu-ray.com gives a Sept 20, 2022 release date. But I know this Complete Series box set has been around since 2016.

I held on to WP from 2010 to 2018. What finally pushed me to Android was Work requiring 2FA apps that weren't available on WP. Duo Mobile dropped WP in 2019- and barely updated the app the last year I was using it. We stopped writing service catalog KB articles for WP users long before that. I...

The Gen-Zs can't take a digital beat down like previous gens. Too much victimhood- it's either you're a filthy try-hard or your cyber-bulling them.

The only issue with that is we can't game forever. The crew I regularly play with is roughly the same age as me. Some grandparents. Some freshly into retirement. All of us are hitting the increased health-mgmt issues we see post 50. X had a stroke, and stopped playing for a few months. Y went...

I think I was 11 or 12 when I first played Star Raiders on a neighbor's Atari 800 8-bit. I had played 2600 video games for years before that- but Star Raiders was the hook that started me on PC gaming, and it's never left me since. 54 now. This past Wednesday marked the 26th birthday of Team...

Looking to replace my aging Netgear Nighthawk AC1750- not in a hurry to do WiFi6 since I have a lot of IoT. But I'm in a urban area where channel saturation is an issue, and Netgear's auto channel mgmt is a cruel joke. Anyone have any experience with Synology? I love their NASs.

I've never had an issue with his channels/content. I think his broadcast persona is pretty good compared to when he started as a retail voicebox for NCIX. I'm still entertained by his masterful seques into advertising content. I've worked with 20-year broadcasting professionals that can't...

Believe me, I considered it. If the Sidewinder wasn't so garish-looking I would've done it. My cubicle mates already think I'm weird having a Model M at my desk.

I was on weighted mice for a long time. (Logi MX518, MSFT SideWinder) I loved having the weight, but hated having to switch back to unweighted mice (laptop and at work) That really screws with your muscle memory. After my last Sidewinder crapped out, I switched to unweighted.

I'm big fan of the Pro Intellimouse MSFT brought back three years ago. And I've had IM 3.0 and the Sidewinder gaming Mice in my mouse history too. Strangely, MSFT has been the most dependable for me- and I've had Logi and Corsair mice. AMAZ has it for cheap right now, I paid $48 for it two...

Linus gets a strap-on for his Steam Deck! 500K more views if they went with that title.

2009 Motorola RAZR V3xx 2010 Samsung Focus I917 2015 HTC One M8 2018 Motorola G6 2020 Motorola G Stylus Yes, I stuck with Windows Phone for Eight Freakin Years. I deserve a cookie, hell, a lifetime supply of cookies.

Another Ratpadz thread to watch! Got mine from the 2011 [H] show in Dallas. There was a tall stack of them and I got two. Shoulda grabbed the lot and bolted.

When the UPS is fully charged and you pull the power cable, does the connected gear stay on? If it doesn't the battery is no more. I got four years out of my last UPS, and it powered a 4bay NAS, router, modem and switch. (850VA) It was a Cyberpower too, and I couldn't locate a replacement...

Haven't watched Macross, but I have almost all of her CB and GiTS:SAC discography. The NBebop soundtrack lines up pretty well with the 98' stuff. There are some new versions of the 98' themes. The new stuff is good but a some of it is short cues and brief themes.

At least I got new Yoko Kanno album out of it.

There is a lot to like. I'm happy with the principal actors. It's obvious they get the characters, even if the writers don't. And the visual aesthetic / look is better than I expected from an anime that's so visually distinctive. My three lingering complaints with Netflix Bebop- Viscous and...

Half way through. Like it a lot so far. Feel the prinicpal cast is perfect. Art direction and music are really nice. And it's a blast to be in Yoko Kanno's space again. The original music is pretty good. The rest is callbacks to 98'. But I'm at odds with the new series re-telling the stories...

Geek trolling? They dropped the WOPR launch code from War Games too.

One of my framed vinyls is Symphonic Suite Yamato, complete with OBI. I grew up on Star Blazers in the early 80s. (in a lot of ways I was crazier for it than SW/ST) But it wasn't until the late 90s that I discovered SBY and started collecting the BGMs. When they rebooted in 2012 with SBY2199...

My Anime Soundtrack collection is literally 75% Yoko Kanno. (GitS:SAC and Bebop) the rest is HIroshi/Akira Miyagawa (Space Battleship Yamato/ SBY2199)

I'm glad she's only re-using 10% of the 1998 score. The promos have been recycling the original so much I was afraid there was no new music. But to be honest, I haven't heard any of Kanno's younger stuff since Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. (2006) If you've ever watched DVD extras of...

I really want to know how they'll translate this scene to live action. On this, all hope depends.

There are scads of female manga artists that draw proportional girls w/o the "male gaze" attributes and the peculiar camera positions. And a lot of those are produced anime OVAs. "Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis from observing real people. you know. It's produced...

Yup. Full on board now.

new teaser. Hope you're not sick of hearing the Tank! theme.

I had B-1 Nuclear Bomber--- on cassette for the Atari 8-bit (400/800/1200XL) I remember adding lines in BASIC to play synth music for certain text events. (it was a text-based game, but inspired by the bomber scenes from Dr. Strangelove) So my B-1NB played Johnny Comes Marching Home. Think my...

I've known people that dismiss all animated media. It's all cartoons to them, and isn't considered entertainment media for adults; even though there's been prime-time general audience animated media for over fifty years. And people in general have always turned a cocked eye at anime fans for as...

Fah. Achievements are for babies. I don't play TF2 for achievements, hats, loot or memes. Everytime someone asks me for help on an achievement- I send them to dank corner of the map and send the spies there.

There are titles in my library approaching 20 years old. There are games over ten years old that I still play. And I also have a lot of DOS/Win95 games that I've repurchased via Steam. If Steam Deck can handle all of those, even I'll buy one- and I'm not a platform/console/handheld gamer. But...

Seven more years, another 3000 hrs. If I'm still playing this damn game in 2028, some one's gotta put me out of my misery, Cochise-style like One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

I've been playing with the same people for almost ten years. But there are far fewer "purists" that play the objective now since casual matchmaking arose and community servers were eradicated. My team has it's shit together. The others couldn't give 2Fs. It's worse than playing with randos...

Sorry to hear man. Hope you didn't lose any data or valuable gamesaves or configs. At least you have a backup. Stories like this make my eyes wander to those pre-built Walmart/BestBuy gaming shitboxes.:nailbiting:

The gaming community (in my neck of the woods) has become less about "playing the game's objective" and more about griefing, trolling and "casual/fuckin' around" gameplay. A generation of gamers is being graded not on how well they play- but the size of the trolls and lols. It's not just hacks...

Mostly multiplayer- but there's a group that I play with almost exclusively. (maybe less than <10% solo with randoms) Mass Effect LE was the first SP game I've purchased in over two years.

Playing 1080p games. Still on a GTX 970 on an 1080p ultrawide monitor. But the i7 3770 system that's running it is very long in the tooth. 10 y.o. next year- the longest I've used any build. (I had postponed upgrades to build a NAS four years ago) But I didn't want to build a new system with a...

There were power issues at the last two LANs I tried going to- and that was 6-7 years ago. Didn't take much to pop the breakers. The last real LAN I did was HardOCP's in Dallas 2008/2009? Wasn't quite QuakeCon... but close enuff to say I did it.

I came close to jumping in EGS just to get Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. But there was nothing else on the EGS platform I was remotely interested in. So I waited a year, and RGO made it on Steam in Sept 2020. And it turned out the was game was mostly meh. It wasn't the Space Sim mecca it was marketed to...

I still rock Model Ms, at both home and work. But I don't on my gaming machine. That buckling spring tapping drives people nuts in vox and streams/recordings
