Impromptu garage sale this morning because the neighborhood is doing one. I always have extra stuff. It's been non stop for an hour. Garage sales are multiple wins. You sit or stand at your own house, people come to you and give you money for stuff you don't even want. The best. 😂

@jake4480 I miss garage sales.

That's a downside to working the weekend shift, I guess.

The story in my head plays out like this...

  1. Goes for relaxing hike.
  2. Falls off bridge into ravine.
  3. Waits for help to arrive.
  4. Still waiting.
  5. Seriousness of the situation begins to set in.
  6. Realizes it's an opportunity for a fantastic pic!
  7. Cell phone has 3% battery.
  8. Posts PIC to Fediverse.
  9. Cell phone dead... Still waiting.

That's how the story would play out with me, because, priorities. 😂

In all seriousness, excellent picture!

Reviews Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad on Xbox 360 and Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers on Wii from GamesMaster 210 - April 2009 (UK)

@OutofPrintArchive I remember picking this up for the Xbox 360.

I thought I was going to be getting something of a guilty pleasure. At worst, something that might be so bad it's good, but nope! It was just plain bad.

I know the game has its fans but I did not enjoy the level design. I have never liked the ''walled off areas'' ''kill all the enemies'' level design.

I'd still like to try the Wii version at some point.

Judeau, to Nintendo
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

The remaster is really trying my patience.

It's not necessarily a fault of the remaster as much as it is the original game design.

It wouldn't be so bad if they let you save anywhere but having to go through ludacris amounts of tricky platforming right before the Longhunter boss and not letting you save anywhere in that stretch is not fun.

I have died multiple times and restarted this section for the last hour and a half.

This might be where I call it quits...

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

Nope! That's enough for me.

I'll give the remasters of 2 and 3 a shot at some point but I will never return to part one.

It's an interesting game and you can see how Metroid Prime really evolved the design that Turok started, but for the most part it has been an exercise in frustration.

@steamdeckhq That totally makes sense. I couldn't imagine myself keeping up an active account across all the different social media sites.

I gotta say, you do an excellent job of juggling all the sites you currently post at.

I was just curious about the Lemmy instance.

As long as you keep posting on Mastodon I'm more than happy. 😁

Wow! I didn't realize, here in the States at least, that the Big Easy and the electric are both the same price, around $5,500.

That makes it exceedingly difficult to choose between the two and I could easily see myself using either one in different situations.

Hmmmm...

Does anyone have any advice or experience with either to persuade me in direction or another?

I was reading an article on Broderbund's 'The Print Shop' and have very fond memories of using it. It got me thinking...

What is the modern day equivelant?

Apparently a competitor that swallowed up Broderbund makes PrintMaster and sells it through its website but is it any good?

Is there a modern day alternative on or have web based services like Canva essentially replaced these dedicated programs?

Judeau,

@jake4480 I appreciate the reply, even if it's not the answer that I wanted. 😂

I guess I was hoping there was a Printshop inspired alternative like how Decker is to HyperCard.

Regardless, it sounds like Canva is the main contender to fill the Printshop void.

@GottaLaff per the article...

''...focused on health care, drug treatment, job training and housing. The system, integrated into the country's taxpayer-funded national health care system, is free.''

"Someone who has problematic drug use isn't a criminal or someone who has a moral failing. They're someone who has a health problem, a physical or a mental health problem,"

Hmmmm. It's almost as if the U.S. 'for profit' medical system and War on Drugs is the wrong approach.

Question:

At what version of #BlueTooth did wireless headphones first arrive?

I can't find a definitive answer but looking at the different Bluetooth versions I'm assuming it was version 3.0 that was released in 2009.

Does this sound right or were there actually some mass produced Bluetooth v.1 or v.2 headphones?

@OutofPrintArchive I remember my friend had this game when it came out and I loved it.

I remember thinking at the time how the graphics were some of the best I had ever seen on a home console. 😂

I have never played it since, though. I wonder if it holds up?
