This is a really neat and well written list of games. It's so interesting how different these games were from the console games at the time. So many live acted sequences with pre rendered backgrounds. The only game I knew of beforehand was Phantasmagoria, but Dark Seed was ringing a bell. Perhaps a friend had that one. I might have to try some of these games.

Sounds like a $1.6 million dollar refund would be appropriate.

YouTube compression will remove inaudible sound ranges anyway, so they probably had to fake something for it to make a sound at all.

The other Stephen King short story turned into a movie recently (Long Walk) also

Spoilercompletely changed the ending, although I heard a rumour that the original ending will be on the home release. So maybe this movie will have an alternate ending as well. The change after following the book pretty well up til that point made it feel like a weird alternate reality all of a sudden. Very jarring. Not that I think the changes were bad, but changed how I was experiencing the movie.

Probably because older phones are in maintance mode for the OS. Adding new features always carries some complexity and testing all models takes time. Limit the models to test to only the more recent ones and you save money.

That said, it would be so nice to have a more open system where I can decide that if that goes on my phone myself.

 
 

Its been a pretty fun start to the season. Just really don't want the streak to end to the Leafs, but I'm kinda expecting it.

 

'Today is the day we have all been waiting for,' says city director.

 

Just wondering what happened. Electrical substation sabotage?

 

On Thursday, the Alberta Dental Service Corporation (ADSC) said it had been hacked between May 7 and July 9. On the final day, the hackers communicated they had encrypted the data, were holding it ransom and demanded cryptocurrency in payment.

Lyle Best, the ADSC president, said the organization’s cyberinsurance was immediately engaged and the ransom was paid, recovering the data with a minimal loss of that data. Best also noted the corporation had secure backups.

Oh for fucks sake! You don't pay the ransom if you have backups! You're just enabling the hackers to make more attacks!
