Looking for something to watch today while I work on cleaning up surveys in ESO, I was reminded to follow up on the Lensman fansubs. You see back in 85 a Japanese studio licensed Lensman form EE Doc Smith's estate, and produced a movie and a TV series. Rather than a direct adaptation of the...

Nah, Windows releases follow the old "every other one is good" rule that Star Trek films used to until Nemesis(though depending on where GalaxyQuest falls....). Windows 12 will be the next one everyone likes.

Head's up for anyone who has it: for the next week only they're re-running Expedition 3, which is the one that gives you the Golden Vector ship. The expedition itself also gives you a S-class exotic ship, if you decide to keep the character. Older pic here too - mine had the tall...

The "lucky draw" part seems to me that it wouldn't apply to regular loot drops, but it might for special event loot, like holiday event drops. The second part of that second quote is more interesting however - doesn't that effectively ban auction houses in MMO games? At least unless they...

If it's the "task bar missing after upgrading to WIndows 11" thing, grab the windows upgrade assistant - Microsoft didn't update their cache servers or something so the default W11 upgrade patch is installing an old broken 21H2 build instead of the 23H2 it should be. Forcing it to 23H2 should...

Apparently Hasbro also recently announced that it would be paying out some dividends on its stocks now, after all this. It did get them a few dollar bump on stocks.

So the ID4 aliens were just Ferengi employees?

Yeah, because now you can charge people money for the privilege of playing other people's content that they are also now selling, AND get a piece of the money that those other people get as well. It's like if Steam charged you a one-time fee to use it. Or Apple... wait, that's called buying an...

Or watching Aquarion.

We could always get them stuck in some canals instead.

That's more just asking "What long-running anime have you watched?" as a majority of them end after 13, 26, or 52 or so episodes. The only one I can think of that lasted over a year that I watched more often than weekly was the original Saint Seiya. After I watched Saint Seiya Omega, I wanted...

Never got the Encore here, but I did get Brave Max back when he first came out, and still got him somewhere. It really is annoying that with just a couple changes to the legs on the TR/LG version they could have at least had the "fortress" towers, as IIRC by unscrewing a couple plates in the...

Talking about translated light novels, the Slayers stories actually ran in the Japanese version of Dragon magazine back in the day, and I know at least the first 8 got translated, and I think there's fan translations of up through 12? I heard mention once or twice of them being re-released or...

https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111510152283199458 Latest company hit is SpaceX (though I don't believe they were wiped themselves) - mostly HR stuff looked like, bit more details on that one are in the Musk thread.

https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111584826057045121 The statement from said hacker group:

AH, I thought it was already a done deal. That makes it even worse for morale though, especially given some of the people they've laid off means pretty much no one is safe.

Seems like it's getting worse too - from what I'm hearing, it's apparently turned into rolling layoffs that's going to continue into 2024...

Probably off hunting for toast somewhere.
