VHS tapes should be recycled, not destroyed.

Said group of people are idiots.

I believe it's getting close to Spring Cleaning... for my Facebook friends list.

Don't worry, none of my friends here is not getting removed.

Next gaming challenge... Thunder Force II for Sega Genesis.

I'm getting there.... that's all I'll say.

Well... I'm glad that I have the Genesis game "Truxton" in my possession. Truxton is a vertical space shooter, and a difficult one at that. When I found my copy around 10 years ago, it was around $5 IIRC. Might have been $10, but it was out on the shelf with the other common games. The more valued titles were in a glass case. Nevertheless, I got my copy for a extremely good low price.

These days? It goes for around $40 USD on eBay for cartridge alone. The price is far higher if you want complete-in-box or an import copy.

On another note, I have to perform screencapping with Lilly. VLC 2.2.0 has now bugged the snapshot capability. DVD screencaps come out at 720 x 480. That is the native DVD resolution, but VLC before 2.2.0 corrected the aspect ratio resulting in 720 x 540 screencaps, which was very nice. And I don't think there is a way to downgrade to a previous VLC version under Kubuntu outside of compiling one yourself.

File a bugreport. Probably some smartass requested the change because "purity".

Mentlegen,

I present for your viewing pleasure, Sofia root-of-negative-one!

And she has just kicked the ass of an Asus ZenFone 5.

In retrospect, I ask, how?

Well, may as well show my new phone too. I shall use my #1 favorite children's picture book for scale.




I think the keyboard on my LG Cosmos 3 is smaller. I haven't given it a name since it's a contract phone. Since Hazel still runs fine with a few hiccups, I see no need for a smartphone.
