  • Yeh I figured it needed to be active, couldn’t find any and the ones that claimed (and ultimately turned out to be lying) to be dual link weren’t active so unsurprising they didn’t work.

    That’s a very interesting idea about the double conversion with displayport though, I never thought of that. Are the displayport to DVI dual link cables easier to get or are they unicorns as well?







  • The extent of the problem seems to be progressing. The retry button worked for me for the most part at first but then by the next day had stopped working at all. Interestingly though, I discovered that loading the video in portrait mode first, hitting the play button and waiting for it to actually begin playing before going landscape seems to work. Don’t get why that makes a difference.






  • I sometimes wonder why AoE 1 never gets any love in the present day the way AoE 2 does… I’m sure 2 is probably better but I just spent so much time playing 1 that it feels way better to play that now for that reason alone. I had a go at 2 when I got a disc for it with a pack of cereal once and it was good but it just wasn’t right somehow, lost some of the simple charm of 1.


  • This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he’s saying he at some point had the ‘woke mind virus’ and deleted it, or more likely he’s saying this is what people need to do to ‘free’ themselves of the ‘woke mind virus’.

    You don’t have to endorse it to understand it. I don’t really understand Hazel’s confusion.

    I’d like that too, but I don’t know how to program so it’d turn out to be a pretty cruel joke. I’d need that plus access to interdimensional internet so I could download scripts and be a scriptkiddy of reality.

    The just leaving it without taking so much as a bite like it’s no big deal is as hard for me to believe as the spread itself. On the face of it, it shouldn’t be, after all it’s entirely plausible and narratively sensible that the character doesn’t have time and technically it only reinforces the ludicrousness of the giant meal on a weekday morning but, if I was late in the morning but also someone had cooked me pancakes and bacon and eggs with orange juice and coffee and all these cafe breakfast dishes altogether on the table like that then work is just going to have to wait. I’m not spurning pancakes for anything.
