  1. I was really excited about S5. Like, super "let's stay up and watch the trailer and go through the website even though I have to be at work early tomorrow" excited.

     

    That whole thing leading up to the release just...I dunno, deflated it. I can't bring myself to watch it. I don't know if I was that particular event specifically, or just kind of a build up from a bunch of stuff like that (Tambor v. Amazon, etc.)

     

    I dunno...the more I hear about it, the less I'm excited about it. Kinda sucks...

    While that looks really cool....I dunno...it seems like they're trying a little too hard to sell a Tetris game?

     

    I mean it uses the Unreal Engine for Christ's sake. I don't know how Earth-shattering a Tetris game can be, but I guess we'll see?

    Raspberry Pi...3?  I guess I fell into the category of 'gotta twerk dem settings'.  I'm afraid to mess w/ whatever in the hell makes the thing think.  The recommendations online re: things to play w/ in the 'code' or 'OS settings' that could be causing the 'overthinking' are overwhelming and scary.  "Hey! (shrugs) 'try this!' (not responsible if it bricks)".  I've had extended play sessions since fan-installation - I'm good.

     

    Yeah, that's likely one of the settings not being set properly and it's giving 100% at all times. If you've found a solution that works for you, rock on, that's awesome.

     

    If you ever want to learn how to tinker with linux or systems like that, the setup you've got is PERFECT for it. You don't really have to worry about bricking the thing, as everything is essentially self-contained on the SD card. I've got four or five SD cards sitting around that each have a different project on them, and I can swap them out and it's a essentially a completely different machine.

     

    Check it out sometime, there are some pretty cool things you can do with it.

    - curious if any other Raspberry Pi owners experience overheating issues. 

    Hmm...I've never had an issue with overheating, regardless of the project. I wish there were some kind of logs I could look at to see if something was wrong.

     

    Forgive me if you've said it elsewhere, but what model Pi are you using? I've worked with just about every model and I've yet to have heating issues.

     

    Your setup sounds pretty solid, and I commend you. I had to set up six systems just like that I couple years back, and it is not a super easy task. I also got to play with some of the bells and whistles and was able to get the little video previews of each game working and it's so freaking cool, if not space intensive.

     

    Good jorb!

  5. I finished a couple episodes, and it seems to flow better. There are some new jokes here and there to keep it fresh for people who are returning to the series. I can't seem to find the original cut of season 4, but it would be nice to be able to actually compare the two.

    It was my birthday yesterday and I didn't get a single birthday wish from any Hondonian

    Fuck, I know you're not looking for apologies, but I'm really sorry. I've not been around much because school and Jenn's health, ugh...I feel like shit, I was trying to do the birthday threads for a while and I got side-tracked again.

    it doesn't need to be a pop up or anything, just move the stupid birthday notice to the top of the page near the search bar or something

    Fuck, I'm going to try to do this right now.

    is this nu-metal?

    Eh, not really. Wiki lists them as Heavy / Doom Metal / Hard Rock / Psych Rock / Prog. Rock which is close. I saw someone recently refer to them as Scooby-Doom Metal, which kinda feels like an accurate description. The lead singer changes his persona with each album, but it's always an Anti-Pope (well...Cardinal this time) of sorts. There's an interesting story from album to album, and the music is pretty good.

     

    Is fun.
