I have a bunch of old roms. PM me and I’ll see what I can do to get them to you.

My local food bank is my favorite place to donate and volunteer at. My friend also works as a CASA so I donate to them as well (link is for the national organization, but they’re may be a local group you can donate to directly). Other than that, look around your area for local nonprofits. There are lots of local charities that work with kids, help solve local problems, etc that can always use some financial help. There are several organizations that you can go to if you want to vet and check on the charities to make sure they’re legit.

I just got the jingle jam collection and started playing Godfall. Straight forward smack-em-with-a-sword game but lots of fun so far. Kinda reminds me of kingdoms of amalur. Hoping to try out a few more games from the collection as well as I’ve heard good things about quite a few of them.

Dee vee deee… Spin 'em, burn 'em, stick 'em in a 'puter.

I use Plex. I have different libraries set up for movies, TV shows, educational videos, home videos, and during the pandemic it was great because my kids were doing dance class remotely, so I even set up a library so they could have all their dance class videos in one spot to practice their routines. I also organize my family photos there as well, which works out great to have those and the home videos all in one place. I can even give family members access to various libraries if they want to view family photos/videos, which has been handy as well.

Lots of people swear by jellyfin, but I’ve had so much success with Plex that I haven’t bothered to check it out. It’s probably easy enough to get a server for each up and running and see which you prefer.

Do you know where the pairing key is stored? The instructions just say “obtain the pairing key” which isn’t particularly helpful…

These guys made some certified bangers. Trogdor, the strongbadia national anthem, tonight is alright for tonight, the cheats lightswitch rave… So many awesome songs!

I agree. I like the idea that there’s a trek for everyone. I love strange new worlds, but (initially) wasn’t really into the idea of lower decks, and that’s ok because I think it gives everyone something different to look forward to and avoid the problem of oversaturation. You can choose the shows you like and miss the ones you don’t.

That being said, I’m glad they did the crossover episode with lower decks because it made me give the show a shot and I ended up really liking it.

Same here. Plex just makes sharing with family so much simpler. My mom and dad can figure it out just as easily as my kids can and the amount of time I have to do tech support for anyone has been literal zero, which is a huge bonus for me, personally.

Yeah, it sounds like a problem with a contributor to Shutterstock not following the terms of use. The person who put together the marketing materials for Loki was just using stock images. I don’t think it should be on them to enforce shutterstock’s TOU.

Yeah, I liked the gorn episode, but it kinda came out of left field. I mean, it didn’t help that in my head every time they would talk about the gorn in earlier episodes I would think of the dude in the green lizard suit, so I had this comical picture in my head of all these people being terrified of a guy in a silly outfit and was not mentally prepared for an alien remake…

You’ll have to fight me, Tim Eagames, for him! But not before we join forces to best Samantha Bethesda, our sworn nemesis.

The expanse is great! Highly recommend it, and the books are even better.

The cynical part of me wants to say that’s by design. That reddit wants to get rid of good moderation tools so that it can allow more paid astroturfung to get more revenue.

I found a Firefox extension to do the same. Handy if I occasionally find a gem worth keeping, but yeah, the quality is not as great as a Blu-ray rip would be.

Fmovies.to is great for finding shows and movies. Just make sure you have a really good ad blocker on your browser.

I use fmovies.to and they look identical. I’m assuming they’re run by the same folks? If it is, just make sure you have a very good ad blocker, because otherwise the site is unusable without it. With it, though, it’s absolutely amazing, especially their subtitle support. Sometimes I’ll watch a show on fmovies instead of the actual streaming service the show is on because the subs are somehow better than the ones from the actual streaming services.

Have you made a physical list of all the things you need to do, or is it all in your head? I find that writing down my to-do list to start makes things more manageable because it’s one thing less to do, which is to remember the list to begin with!

Once everything is out of my head I try and look to see if there is anything that I can do at the same time, or things with overlapping tasks, similar locations (if I have to run errands outside the house), or maybe just things that are the same but for some reason I’m my mind I just kept them as separate tasks. Sometimes I can make my list shorter by just combining things.

From there I usually try and see if there are any tasks that will take me give minutes or less, I do a task, I physically cross it off the list. The relief that I feel from physically crossing something off my list is amazing. And it’s incredible how much you can sometimes shorten your list by getting rid of those little 5 minutes tasks.

After I do the little five minute tasks, then I move up to longer tasks little by little until they’re all crossed off.

Best of luck, you’ve got this!

Keith David. I have a strong personal belief that one day that man’s voice will be integral to the discovery and/or implementation of the cure for cancer. I also think he would be a benevolent AI overlord.
