[quote who="Island Dog" reply="10" id="3800833"] I picked this up at the Winter sale I think, and it was a nice casual game to play. I even built some PCs to see how the configuration would look before I bought the parts for my new build. [/quote] definitely doesn't show you what the wiring would be like or at least not in details... (eg.. basically a goes to b, c goes to d.. can't really plug the wrong thing in, doesn't matter if the wire is long enough irl, etc) also not r

been going through the backlog of games in the last few months and running them in the background for the cards. actually ended up playing some even after cards stopped dropping. did the obligatory ff14 free login loop hero demo currently playing hollow knight. (i'm really bad at platforming) recently played backlog, in no particular order: neurovoider mothergunship (fps makes me feel pukey) supraland (ditto

if you really think about it.. reddit is just basically a giant forum, one where replies are displayed in a way that tracks a conversation easily. just imagine any forum being visited by any and everyone, hundreds and thousands of replies. normal forum can't really keep track of quotes and what not, especially if you have say 50 pages of replies and 30 of them are just 2 guys talking across each other. obviously that doesn't really make anyone go to forum or reddit. almost any

i used to use canned air to blow stuff... but stopped since i got this machine 5 years ago... as i'm afraid i might have done more harm with that on the previous machine. (maybe not leaving it to warm back up for long enough time and too impatient to wait after a spray.. also too impatient to wait for a machine to cool down between the time i turn it on in the morning and the time when i think it won't disturb the neighbours if i hoover and spray the machine) probably irrational... bu

no idea what's wrong and not a solution, but if you are on win10 you can use win+tab (or click on that taskview icon on your taskbar) to display a list of all opened programs.. it's kinda similar to alt-tab, except it shows you what you have over various vitrual desktops and allows you to move things between them too. might work as a work around for you?

... not sure i'm seeing the difference correctly. i first thought it was the middle of the back of the hand, as it looked a bit redder and less boney and veiny and so might be a bit bloated/swollen... but then saw you mention knuckles in the other thread....

still 7 more library books sitting in the house waiting to be read XD seeing as i tend to read when in transit or walking, the stay at home thing has cut my reading time by a fair bit. currently reading some robin cook thing (that's the us author who writes medicine related fiction and not the late british politician) and steve berry (just started cotton malone bk 4)

[quote who="mrblondini" reply="13" id="3773178"] Our government is deciding whether or not liqour stores are an "essential service" and can therefore, like supermarkets, remain open. I'll keep you posted on that. [/quote] in the uk, they've had to add off license (liquor stores) to the list of essential shops to stop people piling into supermarkets for booze.
