Resident Evil Village is unlocking at midnight eastern, for anyone who has it preordered.

Yep, that sounds about right for Orlando.

My sides.

Got my new front brake pads put in. Much better; now if I brake hard, that motherfucker will stop in a hurry.

The kitchen floor here was pretty out of whack before the remodel, but they doubled up some of the joists in the basement and used 4x4 posts to help level it out a bit.

But where's the step to put tinfoil in the fuse holder if the fuse is missing or blown?

The video's from South Africa, I take it? Edit: Apparently it's a modified Toyota Land Cruiser.

Test successful: user dead.

Happy Birthday Kevin!

This never would've happened on postjack's forum.

Not I. I've been good so I wouldn't punish myself with something like that.

Thanks Todd for undoing Brent's damage to the site.

Indeed, nobody will come close to him.

I'll never get over my crush on this man.

Holy shit.

Indeed, its a nice change from seeing so many posts on reddit with the same white subway tile.

Well it's definitely a new thing for me to file away in my diagnostic toolbelt. I'd had problems with the seat switch before, but not anything else. I didn't even know it had a solid state module managing the various safety switches. Edit: I did get a nice surprise from the fingers unintentionally touching the wire when I held the spark plug against the block to see if it was getting spark after I unplugged the safety interlock module though. That was entertaining.

Had the lawnmower suddenly die on me out of nowhere today. Couldn't get it to start back up even with starter fluid, replaced the spark plug since it's been a while, still nothing. Spent a good chunk of time troubleshooting, narrowing it down to an ignition problem, and tracing out the wiring on it and eventually found that the safety interlock module failed and was keeping the magneto's kill wire grounded. Fortunately to finish up today I could just unplug the damn thing and it would run again, albeit with all safeties disabled. Gotta get a replacement for that before too long though...

The last game I played, The Outer Wilds, has navigation/exploration as literally its only major mechanic. You're thrown into the games world with only knowledge of the basic controls, and are limited to 22 minutes per run (due to a timeloop) to try to explore and learn more about how things work to progress further on the next run. Building a mental map of areas so you can return to them quicker and deliberately in the future, using environmental clues to piece together how to traverse to new areas using mechanics that aren't obvious at first glance, etc. There's basically no replay value because once you've beaten it, there's not really anything to do. You would absolutely hate it.

Happy Birthday!

Going with an old standby to relax after a fairly busy day.

It was definitely a normal part of life with ATI cards before AMD bought them, though as far as I understand AMD does still have some of that classic ATI driver jank for their video cards.

Happy Birthday DOTU, Party Host Extraordinaire!

That's quite the letter opener you got there.
