Re: The Thread Of Randomness
We did not win the World Cup, but we achieved something else entirely.
We are only the 3rd country to top the Women's Ranking, after USA and Germany. And today marks the 50th anniversary of Sweden's first international game, a 0-0 tie with Finland back in August 1953.

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
Kinda depressing that the only reason the world cup is still talked about internationally is that stupid kiss now ...
Was a fun tournament that had everything you want from a football world cup. And then that stupid bit right at the end ^^;

Trainz UTC
We bought a copy of Trainz UTC for my son for Christmas the year it was published! I think compared to Auran Trainz, OpenTTD comes out better!

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
I think it was a great moment. Well obviously not, Rubiales assaulted her by forcing a kiss. But I think this Spanish federation has been riddled with accusations of corruption for a long time. With 80ish players now signing a "will not play" statement unless management is replaced, I think we will see a revolution in Spanish football. He is absurdly still trying to cling to power but will surely be removed any day now. With Rubiales gone, new management in place, new coach most likely, we will see the world champions reach yet another level. It's up to everyone to follow as the women's game steps up yet again. ¡Viva la revolución!

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
Now obviously this was terrible, and should never have happened, but I do feel like it's giving Spain a bit of a 'MeToo' movement that other countries had several years ago in the wake of Harvey Weinstein and the original #MeToo social media campaign.
Hopefully this will untangle any other issues within Football, whether its womens or mens, and whichever country and governing body it is. I'm glad FIFA stood up and suspended him, without waiting for Spanish counterparts to do it themselves, or for Rubiales to fire himself, which seems he is doing everything to avoid. Reports (sources: 1 & 2) also suggest currently FIFA may be campaigning for a 15 year ban for Rubiales, which sounds a little on the harsh side, but it would certainly show any other football managers, yep, its a serious thing to do, so don't frickin' do it.

Star Fleet Command Gold!
Star Fleet Command Gold! StarTrek is our favorite franchise! So Star Fleet Command Gold was released my oldest Stephanie went to Best Buy and bought a copy! She installed the software on both Windows 7 computer! No CD-patch so I had to borrow the CD to play it! Last year www.dynaverse.net said they were going stop selling the Game ISOs!
I found copy's of SFC2 and 3 on the internet archive! When I tried to install the games they crashed to desktop three times! So now that's one of favorite and most challenging sims!

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
Do you remember this post? I went to Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen just now, and they really sell a bit of everything electronic. I bought a portable power bank for only 99 yuan (IIRC the price quadruples in my hometown). And there are also shopping malls. Some pictures:Redirect Left wrote: ↑25 Dec 2022 04:43 Well, that'd explain why my orders for spare console parts, mostly from Shenzhen & Zhengzhou are taking ages. Unfortunately for cheap but fairly decent spares, Huaqiangbei - part of Shenzhen is really quite hard to beat price-wise. Plus they seem to sell a bit of everything you can ever think of.

Jealous you got to go, I see the rumours are true, they do sell a bit of anything you'd need! I really should make use of my passport and start exploring whilst I can. I've still never left the island of Great Britain, and even then I've never even been to Wales!
Meanwhile, bad news. I just spent £100, good news, I've got Sonic Superstars & Cities Skylines II on pre-order!
Re: The Thread Of Randomness
After using the same computer monitor since 2015, I felt like upgrading. I did some research, found one of those fancy curved monitors, a "MSI Optix MAG342CQR". I bought it, struggled with installing it and even struggled fitting it on my desktop since the stand was so large! But I finally got it running. I didn't think the curved screen would make such a difference but it really does.
Also, the forums look real silly with this screen!

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
Ooh, 34” 2.38:1 eh? Looks nice!
Do you use it for any movie watching? Presumably you’d need to set up software to trim the black bars that are embedded in most 2.35:1 widescreen movies!
I’ve got a pair of 1080p 24” monitors that I bought in 2009 that are still working quite nicely. Something larger or higher resolution would be nice, but mostly not too necessary.

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
I haven't used it for movies yet, I have a TV for that But video games can really put that extra space to use, which is nice. And now that I'm working, it is essentially wide enough to function as two screens. Email/Chat on one side, actual work on the other!orudge wrote: ↑15 Oct 2023 22:13 Ooh, 34” 2.38:1 eh? Looks nice!

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
Hurray! My new car is now the production queue, expected to be on the production line by second week of November. Then it is however long it takes to slap together a Kia Xceed, plus an approximately 6 week boat journey to the UK, and my new car is here!
It's taken them about 3 month just to get it all to the stage of being on the production queue at the Kia factory

Re: The Thread Of Randomness
I heard a rumour that "KIA is dangerous"... at least KIA K2 is claimed to be the car with the worst safety record.
But don't worry, this is just a rumour, and I have never thought of acquiring a driver license so far.
