Sometimes I do…most times I’d have preferred better comments but by now I can rewrite it better anyways. So no need for further comments…

I’ve enjoyed him since Scream and Hackers, I think he does a great Shaggy (voice acting included). Heck I probably thought Wing Commander was more entertaining with him, I can’t recall but unsure if there was any good video game movie at the time.

Always remember my favourite line from Hackers said by his character, spandex it’s a privilege not a right

Scream and Hackers remain two of my favourite movies ever. Scream cause it was a bit of a different horror from Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street being my favourite 80s horror series) and Hackers … Well computers and one of the best soundtracks ever, used to listen to it mowing the yard. Ended up into a lot of electronica tunes over the years, not from that but why I enjoyed it so much.

.

Cheap computer (I’m Canadian so let’s say these are maple bucks) say $500, what’s a rental $30 a month, so 16ish months before it’s paid off.

I ran a media PC off a $300 computer for years (I can’t recall exactly least 2 maybe 3). If you need more you probably don’t need a cloud one, if you get a cloud one it’s cheaper to buy a cheap computer every 2 years.

It may make a sense to some but I enjoy having my nas backup and separate media PC. Also if Amazon goes down you can’t even access the calculator, least with no Internet there are options at home.

Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.

Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.

At my age (sorry dunno yours) everything comes quickly but I agree this, and other tech stuff lately, come on fast these days.

Side note reminds me of neuromancer (book) where it’s described as subcultures can come up and disappear quite fast. Oddly relevant to today even if we can’t plug into the net. It’s a single line in the book so don’t think that’s the focus if you haven’t read it, but I do recommend. Though the prose can’t be difficult sometimes cause sometimes almost written poetic.

Sounds like a reasonable idea for the issue presented. Mean the issue could be on one drive saying the file is there and complete, or many other issues since I don’t know the API in the least.

Yours would be my first guess for sure, it thinks it completed so delete local copy, which is what you’d prefer in that situation, well mostly, I sort of prefer a local working copy but need some other names and the program to recognize thm with then upload on actual save to the cloud storage…I say that and still curse at excel when it says it has a backup copy from a forced reboot, always keep one open heh.

Actually to be fair I hate those storages for that reason so much crap can go wrong without a knowledgeable user it makes things worse. You just hope the program can tell if it did it was done correctly heh and if not then end up clicking the wrong button and it’s all gone.

Local NAS for anything you think you’ll need, random ‘free’ cloud storage as a general backup. Mean I assume the NAS has raid so mostly good without more.

plays fortune son it ain’t me…

I just think that’s acceptance of all is what those rights movement really meant, they just didn’t know what it all encompassed at the time. They were fighting for everyone to be accepted and I thinks that’s what we should all hope for. Everyone is a person, everyone has their merits. Even if not all good were all people should be treated as such.

That’s fair I just thought that there may be the one person who saw X-Men (2000) who didn’t know she was Mystique. Cause hot damn she was definitely one of the better live actions than drawn.

Wait are X-Men not culturally relevant anymore? Shit I’m old. They had very inclusive ideals which I think is relevant these days is all for North America currently, unsure how well other western societies are doing but it appears not so great either.

I only hope we can end up as inclusive as X-Men they understood everyone was different but wanted to coexist. Isn’t that what we all want? Sorry not directed at you personally just adding cause X-Men rock.

Didn’t watch the 2000s X-Men? Romjin was Mystique, looking quite attractive of course. Mean not saying bad if you hadn’t but that’s how I remember her originally. Plus she was John Stamos wife for awhile. Keep forgetting it’s Jerry O’Connell she’s married to now who I used to enjoy from Sliders (first seasons then it gets meh). I don’t know the other two myself though, but always enjoy Takei when he’s a guest star.

Haha I think of that look more often than is probably needed, like an elementary school kid mocking someone. Which for the movie was great and at the time fit well for that time. Nowadays who’d ever to think of doing similar on tv? Except maybe someone without shame.

I don’t know Emo Philips at all but him just willing to do that bit and the good Christian joke flood bit that I’ve read and made me think he was cool. Like what God cares if we do one tiny bit differently? Mean maybe murder but that’s not up for debate…well a few examples stick out unless he’s a real hardass about it. Hah I’d love to defend that line if there were a pearly gates.

Open wide!

One of my favourite movies of all time. I love the spoof type movies this was up there. Probably not as good as say Mel Brooks but hard to beat his movies and always enjoyed Wierd Al.

Lol that’s exactly how I saw it as well. Recursive gets those nesting dolls look in my head, loops are the same size but repeated, even if infinite. Yes even if the code is almost the same since you can write a loop recursively anyways (okay haven’t tested but seems like it’d work mostly fine but not always as clean).

I think the beauty of it is that the joke can be amusing in multiple ways. Those are the best jokes to me, cause I can think of different ways the next time I see them.

I do see what you’re saying but how I see it, and thinking of all the awful movie tie in games from NES era, ET felt better than average in theme. He had to find the phone pieces and avoid the government agents while wandering in the woods. Not too too different from the movie theme in overall thinking.

Now I’m not saying gameplay was good or anything but think of all the cheesy tie in movie games of the NES era, they’re all some random platformer which sometimes alluded to they had a movie name. Of course there were good ones but best ones I can think of were Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers, not tied to a specific movie or episode. Then you get your Back to the Future has little to do with the actual movie.

It wasn’t so bad if you were a young kid in the 80s. Least my experience. Like what, I supposed to kill the shield of yars revenge again? Well that was more fun but still, needed variety.

That said would I play it again? Fuck no. Course I wouldn’t frost my hair tips again either, or willingly wear neon either.

I had fun playing it in the mid 80s but I didn’t have a ton of games at the time either. Have a fond memory of it overall (maybe because I liked the movie), and still enjoying video games these days. Don’t think I played the Indiana Jones one to compare though.

Isn’t the first part what’s going on in the US? I assume the AI part isn’t part of the government here.

Also isn’t Vance funded by Theil?

Now comic books are kinda out of date, they used to assume you couldn’t be that evil and say you are while no one stops you from your plan while you talk about it non stop.

I’ve rewritten much of my code as needs changed, I call myself an idiot a lot since I’ve worked on this program nearly a decade and was my first professional software so often change old code I wrote. Though it was more additional at first since I used a lot of code the lead programmer did. Though he duplicated everything as needed for a tiny change ugh. Least I know how not to do it.

I always thought it was Raiden too to the point I didn’t realize there was a Rayden spelling. Sounds like a fabric or non stick coating. Mean I didn’t play a ton of Mortal Kombat but knew, what I think was Scorpions finisher (?) in MK1 on Genesis, Start up up? Probably forgetting but that’s the only one I could remember enough to use back in it’s time…in the early 90s it was nothing short of fantastic to see them, even without the blood code for Genesis.

Actors who always commit to their roles! It’s always a pleasure to see them, especially when you see them go from very serious to comedy in various parts. Tom Hanks was fantastic in the 80s when he was comedy but he seems to do more serious roles since then. Also why Saturday Night Live skits can be awesome when such actors are guest starting.
