    Posting stuff about Starfield in my blog. I'm adding to it over time as I think of more things.

      I read somewhere Starfield is supposed to have no glitch.

  2. Random Terrain

    I love it when Starfield freezes up when you go to save your game.

      Yeah, but it wouldn't be an authentic Bethesda game if it wasn't pepper with bs like that.

    "Finally, in a firefight, how many of you have shot the character furiously charging towards you only to find out it is your companion who, seconds before, was right behind you? I cant think it's just me."

     

    I've probably done that 5 times so far. I thought it was an angry bad guy coming to kill me every time. The idiot was right behind me 2 seconds ago. I can create my own personal atmosphere, so I think I'll say goodbye to my walking loot chest.

    Our power went out at around 5:30 p.m. on September 6, 2023 (came back on around 8:15 p.m.). The uninterruptible power supply decided to die before I could turn off my computer. The computer and external hard drives all seem to be fine. I normally have a good amount of time to turn everything off. There wasn't even an annoying warning beep.

      Does your UPS and a USB connector? Mine is connected to my computer via an RJ-45 to USB connection and shuts everything down safely unless I override it. Glad the hard drives are OK.

      No, my stuff is just plugged into it. Thanks.

      Mine has a straight USB to USB connection, and will also power down everything after a set number of minutes without main power. There's an app that comes with it that gives me control over how and when it shuts things down, and also tracks power outages and battery condition.

       

      You should check the condition of your UPS battery. If they get too old, they won't fully charge any more or just outright fail. My previous UPS (made by APC) actually fried its own motherboard, and cut power to my computer - while the main power was still on. It did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. :roll: The one I own now is by CyberPower, and I've been very happy with it. I have another one for work, too.

    I just stumbled upon "The Why Files" videos at YouTube. There are videos on all kinds of interesting subjects that might make good game ideas. Here is his latest video:

    Went to urgent care on Thursday (Aug 24), they told me to go to the hospital since it was too serious for them, and I was released from the hospital on Sunday. I'll make a blog post about it in case it might be helpful.

      I don't know how to review it without spoiling it. The thing gets more interesting when the old guy comes on the screen and starts talking about half way in.

    The Atari 2600 video game release date pages have been updated again. It took months. Now I'm going to play a video game.

      I played Civilization Revolution on the Xbox 360. Last time I played (according to the saves) was in March 2023.

      First half sentence from a brand new magazine:

       

      The home computer isn't in widespread use yet

       

      (I know, I know...But sometimes it's fun to take things out of context) 

       

      But it will be soon.

       

      They were right...

       

      And Nov. 1982 to boot...Good Job! Electronic Fun with blah blah,....I read this one all the time!

       

      TBH,  When I read the letters section of these old magazines,...I think these are the people now on AtariAge!!!

      Never seen a lightning bug? I used to catch them and keep them in a terrarium in my room.

      I've only ever seen fireflies in one spot.  For part of the Summer,  they would light up near this creek and pond in a park, a ways out, near the edge of town...

      When we were teenagers,  my friend once told these younger kids this story of a railroader who died by the creek where the bridge now lies...Said he was smoking a cigar when the train hit him,  and that on clear nights you could see his ghost and the light of his cigar by the water...

      Funko pop just dumped a massive amount of figurines that they did not want to dilute their market. They were not obsolete, just didn't make enough money. Although the cheapest method, this corporate myopia often rightfully draws ire.
