You couldn’t record to laserdisc, right? My parents had a VHS camcorder with a selling point that it could also be used as a VCR (the recorder hung from a shoulder bag and could be separately connected to the TV). We have a lot of old home videos from that, and I remember us recording programs from the TV too.
There doesn’t seem to be much activity around pinball on Lemmy. Maybe you could post this to !Pinball@lemmy.lqx.net or !pinball@lemmy.world ?
I thought “we” might be inclusive of a dog
Alt text is in the square brackets, then put the image link in parentheses
I’m not well-versed in stereotypes for many European countries; which is which?
So he thought it was a lawn show?
We talking, like, O Brother, Where Art Thou? being based on Homer’s Odyssey?
It usually doesn’t need to be perfect, good enough is often good enough and can be a lot faster where trying for perfection might not get finished in time.
Years after the fact I could make the lead developer’s eye twitch just by mentioning the guy who was supposed to maintain the backups but we discovered after the fire that he actually hadn’t been doing it. That guy was fired, but it didn’t bring back the lost code.
It’s probably been even longer since I used mine, which is a shame because it is fun; I just don’t have a good space for the more active games right now, or even Walkabout Mini Golf
Adding to this, if someone gets a reputation for sparring with hecklers, more hecklers are likely to show up and take their shot. Releasing videos of yourself taking on hecklers is probably going to encourage them.
It seems significantly better now. A lot of topics, I just go straight to Wikipedia now.
Reading the article, Horizon Worlds is not shutting down, just the VR access. Apparently they’ve moved it to apps you access on iPhone and Android. I see the appeal even less; that seems like Second Life mobile.
I mean, it took almost 13 years and the product itself was discontinued six years ago
I bought a turd shaped stress squeeze toy at Dollarama in Quebec for C$2 or C$3
Google started bringing fiber to neighboring towns and all of a sudden the cable company started offering speeds 3x faster for less money and AT&T built out a fiber network including in our town, which didn’t get Google for another ten years, and then only a franchise that was paying for the Google name.
I remember seeing a stunningly beautiful woman at the grocery store, and I looked in my cart and saw lactose-free milk, lactose-free probiotic yogurt, and ultra-soothing toilet paper. I’m sure she was impressed.
We took my in-laws back to my father-in-law’s hometown on the west coast of France last year and it was kind of wild to have it not be dark out until 10 pm. A lot of times we didn’t have dinner until 8:30 or 9 because it didn’t feel that late.
I think we got one of those later. The first one they got was a monster of 1980s technology. It looks more like a news camera than anything for consumer use (although maybe not to actual news people).
