The opening level for Daikatana was death by a thousand mosquito bites and killer toads. I never got past that level. A FPS game is supposed to ramp up the difficulty as the player gets used to the new game world. Killing them off at the get go is bad design.

This was an educational experience for me, learning the difference between colour temperature, which is really only valid for continuum sources, and colour rendering index, more applicable to spectral line sources. Low CRIs don't necessarily have a low colour temperature, but they definitely distort perceived colour, whether they're too blue, or the weird orange of sodium vapour lights.

The most stringent CRI requirement in my home is my makeup mirror. Which is the last incandescent bulb...

If your new overlord was weird and pissed off, this story would have had a Kurt Russell ending.

Under speaker properties, I clicked on the enhancement tab and checked the "loudness equalization" box to fix the problem. Thanks!

I use the motherboard audio to plug my headphones into. However, the volume for headphones is never high enough even with the volume control maxed out in Windows. Would a separate audio card fix this problem?

Unless you accidentally backed up when you meant to go forward and nailed a mailbox to the ground. Something my late father did once. All the neighbors agreed that it didn't happen, fixed the mailbox and no one reported anything to the CA DMV. Otherwise, he would have lost his license.

The Bulterian Jihad will replace digital computers with human computers, fixing all date-related issues in the future.

We're missing BC/AD, BCE/CE and AC/DC.

I tried to build an unstoppable army of 14,000 vampires until I realized that they suck in battle.

Something I'm looking forward to in my retirement years to make a few extra bucks.

Las Vegas with a dome over it? Meh... Sounds like a Stephen King novel.

I'm still waiting for the baby boomers to die off. Alas, since the Great Recession, they're fighting to stay on the job longer because they can't afford to retire. Bad enough I'm fighting off the whippersnappers biting at my heels for my job.

I would gladly learned how to build web pages back in the 1980's when I went to school. Back then, it was the Apple ][ computer and Logo programming. Since I didn't have an Apple ][ computer at home (I came from "poor" family because we didn't have Cable TV to watch MTV), and there was no open lab hours at school, I flunked that programming class. Despite everyone telling me to get into computers, I wanted nothing to do with computers after that incident. Building web pages was what got me interested in programming, cutting my teeth on HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, XML and LAMP. I went back to community college to earn an associate degree in computer programming and made the president's list for maintain a 4.00 GPA in my major.

Nah... Everyone else is a Luddite.
