    Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!

  • TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians.

    Lets also not forget Morricone's friend and collaborator Bruno Nicolai.

    He was every bit as influential to the spaghetti western and Italian movie scene.

    Spaghetti westerns are the best!

    It's really interesting how early films like A Fistful of Dollars took inspiration from Japanese cinema but in return they had a great influence on Japanese culture and media going forward.

  • what was your favorite thing about your first car?
  • Gmork Gmork Now 100%

    It was an old '87 Pontiac Bonneville. It had a 350 and had some oomph. The thing was built like a tank. I loved it!

    My favorite thing of all was the fact that it would automatically turn on the headlights when it was dark and this feature was called the ''Twilight Sentinel''.

    I always thought it sounded like some epic fantasy novel or game.

    I'm quite fond of Paint.net on Windows, especially with the boltbait plugin pack.

    It's powerful, easy to use and if it cannot do something, there are tons of user developed plugins.

  • Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service
  • Gmork Gmork Now 97%

    Yep. I got hit with this this morning when I turned on my TV before heading work.

    I thought to myself ''Well... I hadn't planned on suing you but now I'm not so sure. Lol''

    Yeah. This is complete BS and has me looking at computer monitors for a suitable replacement. I went ahead and agreed to their terms and my TV still works great but when it comes time to replace it, I'll be damned if I get another Smart TV.

    Well... SNK had released a few installments of King of Fighters by the time Fighters Megamix was released, but other than that, yeah.

    Sega definitely beat Smash Brothers and other titles to the punch.

    I agree. They should have stuck with their ideas for several installments. Sega has way too many one-off games that are fantastic and deserve sequels.

  • Gmork Gmork Now 100%

    I sure hope so.

    I can somewhat understand a company putting Denuvo in a new game until they recoup costs, I still won't buy it until then, but I can understand the logic.

    Having said that, I feel it should be a priority to remove it once they have got their money back.

    Like a dragon is several years old by now and they have games even older that still have denuvo...

  • Gmork Gmork Now 100%

    Yep! I had the same reaction.

    I was so close to buying it during the last sale and then realized it had Denuvo and noped outta that sale real quick.

    I don't know why Sega is so hellbent on putting Denuvo in so many of their releases... and then takes FOREVER to remove it, if they ever do.

    Ugh...

  • I always thought this game looked right up my alley but I refuse to buy games with DRM like Denuvo. A while back the main line Yakuza games showed up on GOG and I was hoping that it would eventually lead to Like A Dragon being released! I guess today is that day! I know I will love this game. What are some of your favorite Yakuza titles?

  • What is the best most effective way to delete my Reddit post history and account. I have seen people mention programs that they use to go through and delete their entire Reddit history, or edit their posts and replacing the content with a single word, and then deleting their account. I do not use it like I used to, so I would like to get rid of every digital fingerprint that I can on the site. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    Is there anything similar to a QR code that works offline? Say I have a flyer that I want to discreetly distribute and there is no internet. Is there something like a QR code that contains the data itself and not just a URL? This way someone with no data plan could scan the icon/code with an app and the unrecognizable bits and bytes from the icon/code would show up on their screen as a .JPEG of a flyer or something.
