Re: SNES Favorite 75
it might be better to play the remake/remaster, Trials of Mana. I've heard it's great, but someone with experience will have to chime in here. I haven't played the SFC version so I can't compare to that, but I can compare it to SoM and I'd say it's got SoM vibes without the SoM jank. I love the gra...

Re: SNES Favorite 75
Any preference between SFC and DS? I've only played the DS version.

Re: Computerus
I hate Windows 11 less than I thought I would. You have to edit the registry to make the Start menu quit serving you Bing results (in Home Edition; you can toggle it as a Group Policy in Pro or Enterprise). On balance I think it's still accurate to say that I hate it less than I thought I would, bu...

Philip Bump: Americans broadly support abortion access. Will it win Biden reelection? Political coalitions are formed out of people with differing and at times competing priorities. There are an enormous number of people for whom abortion access is a key motivator this November. There is also an eno...
Re: X-Men
Also, the show continues to handle some pretty heavy issues. I admit to tearing up a little at Maddy's speech about giving up her baby because she owes him the best possible future . Punched me right in the adoptive-parent center. On the lighter side, I'm enjoying how they're using Morph as a wa...

Re: Obituaries
Also extremely gay, though I don't think his loathing of LGBT+ had anything to do with his loathing of video games. It's just something else he would disapprove of. I hate to be in the position of defending the guy, but about the only positive thing I have to say about him is that he was progressiv...

You know, as attractive as both those options are, I think I'll go with the Doom thing.

Re: Obituaries
Joseph Lieberman, senator and vice presidential nominee, dies at 82
He died the way he lived: scolding Democrats for not being more like Republicans.
Maybe after work I'll play some Doom in his honor.

Re: X-Men
And episode 3 brings us another returning cast member, Chris Britton as Mr. Sinister.
I particularly like the bit where Cyclops is like "Sinister." and Sunspot's like "Mr. Sinister?" even though nobody said the "Mr." part.

Re: Computerus
I still have a handful of programs I occasionally need but which won't run on Linux. I have a couple Windows laptops but they're old and slow and won't run Windows 11. I tried setting up Win11 in a VM on my main and I think I could probably make it work if I bought more RAM and dedicated 40GB or so ...

Re: and Dead Tree Comics
Helen of Wyndhorn is Tom King and Bilquis Evely's creator-owned followup to their excellent Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (soon to be a major motion picture! or possibly be completed and then have its release canceled as a tax writeoff!) and it's off to a strong start. It's got a similar conceit -- a...

Re: Thundercats
#2 has some nice character moments. There's a good bit where Wilykit and Wilykat discuss how Lion-O is treating them differently now. I'd say that was definitely in the background in TOS -- that even though Lion-O's physically older than they are they still have more experience and a part to play in...

Re: Trump Leaving Office Poll (Part 2)
David Lat has a piece called Clerking For Judge Cannon: A Behind-The-Scenes Look and it makes for an interesting read. The clerks (and others) Lat talked to paint a picture of Cannon as not stupid but green as hell, and not in the tank for Trump but biased by her background as an appellate AUSA and ...

Re: Obituaries
I was looking at Tracy Torme's credits on IMDb and learned that he died in January at the age of 64, of complications from diabetes.
He doesn't have a lot of credits this century, but he co-created Sliders and wrote for TNG.
Also I think his dad was like a musician or something.

Re: Kickstarter and other crowdfunding
How Comics Were Made is approaching its end (65 hours to go as of this writing) and hasn't quite reached its goal yet (about $20,000 short as of this writing). It looks like an interesting history of the printing process. $25 will get you a PDF and $65 (plus shipping) will get you a paperback.

Re: Hot game deals
Fanatical's got a deal on for 17% off any full-price game with code FANATICAL17. So about $10 off $60. I was tempted to either snag Horizon Forbidden West or preorder Ghost of Tsushima, but Sony games usually get discounts deeper than that within 6 months of (PC) release, so I'll probably just wait ...
