Well, divorce has been pretty crappy. I'm trying to stay positive. It's been 6 months since she gave me the initial petition. I got really depressed for a long time. Well depressed-er. Went to a therapist, which seemed just about useless to me. All I did was talk, and there was very little...

Last night, I learned what happens when you tell Alexa you don't feel like living anymore. The entire police and fire departments show up at your house. I know this because that's what my 13 year old daughter did. To be clear, I don't think she was actually having true suicidal thoughts, and...

I have kind of lost interest in Fade for some reason. Guess I just want to try something new. One idea I'm workshopping is an anthology book called Gunwake. The premise is this. There's an iron Man type hero we see in the first issue. He's building the suit, and he takes it out for a test run...

What's the catch here? This seems too good to be true. A lot of AAA titles for $5/month. I get that this is a promo price, but even $10/month seems too good to be true. I guess this is testing the waters for a Netflix style streaming service for gaming?

My son has started a comic book, just like his old man. It's pretty good. http://demongirl.smackjeeves.com/comics/2832731/prelude/ I drew the cover (yes references Cap punching Hitler) but he did everything else.

This is mostly to satisfy my own curiosity, but I want to find the designs for the original "Larson Scanner", the name dubbed by Evil Mad Scientist for the scanning lights found in a number of Glen A. Larson's TV shows, including the front of KITT and the Cylon's eyes. There are a bazillion LED...

https://io9.gizmodo.com/george-lucas-ideas-for-his-own-star-wars-sequel-trilogy-1826798496 In summary, it had some of the same elements as the current sequels. Questioning fate, destiny, etc. But it would've done it by revealing the Whills, a microscopic species who controlled the Force and...

I'm having an issue I know many of you will not agree with. I have had and loved dogs my entire life. Last June, we adopted a dog. I'm going to come right out and say it. I would very much like to give up this dog. We adopted her from a no-kill shelter who has a policy that they will always...

Chrome has gotten nearly unusably slow on my home PC. I have tried many fixes, but none seem to work. I've googled the specific issues with no real luck either. Maybe someone can help. It takes Chrome a long time to open. New tabs take 2-3 seconds to appear. Option boxes, when they do drop...

I'm just curious how people feel about wardrobing--the practice of buying something with the intention of using it once and returning it. Technically it's a type of return fraud. I'm asking because I always find it tempting for tools. Like right now, I could really use an RJ45 crimping tool...

I'm always curious about this. How do you define what the "whole game" is? There's a lot of hate for EA in the Reddit world today regarding the paid unlocks for characters like Vader. But this begs the question. Why are you entitled to Vader? How do you decide that? Where's the line where it's...

I missed this earlier this month, but it seems Oracle is dropping these two in a surprise to basically no one. They're committed to Solaris until 2030, but given the number of layoffs, it will probably just be maintenance done by a skeleton crew...

That's right, I'm starting one. Mostly because I was trapped inside during Harvey, and I got started on props. I think this year, I'm primarily focused on improving what I've done. At least for now. This is what I've done so far: Taught my animatronic pumpkins 3 new songs. This is tedious...

So, I kind of feel like nature is catching up to me, and the long hair I've always liked is looking less "cool" and more "creepy uncle". Anybody have any advice about how to find what looks good? I've searched around the web, and every site is roughly the same. "Is your face shape X? Then try...

I really would like to volunteer somehow. But I don't really know how to get started. I'm ashamed to admit I've never really done it, but I want to very much. I don't even know where to begin, though. Can anyone help me help others? I've tried some of the recommended sites, but most of those...

I mean this thread to be for anyone to ask, but I am also asking for myself. Here's what I like: Strong story, good acting Stealth based play (but not required at all) Puzzle solving Game play that is not hours of walking around doing nothing and mashing left click to beat someone up Some...

I've switched from Mac to windows for my comic art, and I ran into some difficulty getting my tablet to work. It's a Graphire 4 from about 2004 or so, but it still works fine. However, downloading the official Wacom driver for this tablet did not work. It's deceiving, too, because Windows...
