All of these "Shake that ass" songs, or swearing and looking coked outta your mind. It is generally a lot of tuneless slop on the airwaves nowadays. 😌

I got my dad a Samsung Galaxy phone to use as a makeshift computer. All you need is a hub, the proper equipment, and a TV you can connect a Chromecast to in its HDMI socket. This basically means that if you put apps in landscape mode when mirroring the screen, then it can just be like using a laptop or a PC, and casting on a fast network is usually fine, with no lagging. 👨💻
While I was sure this make I bought had HDMI output, this only showed up briefly when it first came on. The built-in DeX feature is an option too, but it seems it won't work on non Samsung sets. They are like Apple, in that they try to have customers tied to their products exclusively so that things don't do as they are supposed to. 🤨
🤤

It is recommended you use the same plug that it comes with in the box, as the voltage or fuse could be higher or lower, so it may get too hot. 😩
On X, I hate it how they don't have a (free) edit button. You may want to just correct a small typo. But nah. Upgrading is the only way. 😅

I don't think the search facility on Prime is the best. They seem to have the movies, etc in order of the upload date, but not alphabetically presentable, which can be a chore to sift through. I was on it and was impressed by the value, because there is plenty to view. But the search mode is not great.

I think I was one of the first members to sign up. The activity just dropped over the last few years, and every reply I seen on there looked very 'made up' to me. Like an AI bot was responding, along with the flood of spam. It's why I won't be joining any more forums, because the main focus now is social media, or they recommend Discord (which I don't care for, but I appreciate the offer).
The ones I have gone on recently have barely any users. Or they just aren't into the same games.

Anybody know of the Kiwi band, the Chills? Their lead singer died over the weekend.

I normally don't like to crap on other sites, but I noticed joyfreak.com is offline. All I can say is, good. Nobody will miss it. The forum was an absolute mess.
The forum was literally 80% bots, 20% gibberish. Spam was everywhere. Shady links to third party sites left unremoved. And I lost count of how many times Shagger asked the admin to clean up his act, but nobody was even maintaining it. So it was just pointless being online anyway.

I like how some phones have HDMI output so your phone can be displayed on a bigger screen. However, most phones don't have the option to do it wired anymore. People usually cast their phone to a smart TV, which is wireless.

Yeah. I'm just gonna move on from him. I'll keep him as a good memory, though.
But to be honest, I have lost interest in covering RE games. Life has been brutal over the past 10 years. After losing my mum last September, my heart just hasn't been in it with what I used to enjoy. When you lose that one important person, it is like a void is gone in your humanity.
I had so much personal crap to deal with since 2012 or so, that it ain't even funny as to how annoying it has all been.
-
No, I never invited anybody to go after him, if that's what you're implying I was suggesting people start doing. And I'm not even mad at him in the slightest. If I was to ask people to go there to intentionally pester him, then I would be just as bad as that weird Australian tosspot who always annoys me, and who you know I've openly complained about online before.
Sure, if you randomly went on YouTube as a viewer and did not know his personality traits, and randomly donated on his channel, just to be insulted on the air, you may feel offended by the guy having an outburst like that. But I know he's probably suffering from ADHD and living on welfare and donations, so it's not to be taking seriously, as a lot of users online are out there and kind of odd, so to speak. And like I said, this guy has hundreds of followers who find his antics amusing.
Anyway, I have largely moved on from gaming talk. I don't really cover video games as much as I did, merely because while I do enjoy games as an art form, talking about Capcom being money grabbers on dead forums started to do my nut in - especially since I have been doing it on and off since the summer of 2003, with every year becoming increasingly more vapid. It kind of feels like I wasted my energy, although my key summary of Capcom I feel is accurate, yet vastly overlooked.
There's not much activity on forums any more, but a lot of old timers are clearly not using forums, and Resident Evil as a franchise has been tarnished.
The relatively few forums I still infrequently visit barely yield any new posts, or members start arguing over a petty disagreement. So I reckon I'll probably end up having to create an imaginary pal called, well. Let's see. I will call him "Ivan Ives" (or something just as lame). But I think he may prefer playing Dino Crisis, though.

You probably know the YouTuber I am talking about. If not, I will let the cat out of the bag.
I started donating to him in 2020 when the lockdown started, because he covered Resident Evil 3. He was pretty laid back at the time. People know he's a clown on YouTube anyway. But I mean, what an ungrateful prick to put someone in time-out and then talk crap about how he has had the same users supporting him for 4 years. Like we don't matter now because I and others don't watch his every stream.
Yep. He actually went there.
Just listen to the way he rambles on and on in the exact same way.
His last stream is set to "members only" for some reason. But the reason I don't watch his streams sometimes is because I may know nothing about the game he is raging about. So then if I donate through Super Chat, he'll just whine that it was not relevant.
-
He did it again today. I got called a "loser" shortly after I donated £10. He was acting rather odd, though. 😗
What the hell? I just gave him lip back. 😛
At one point, he timed me out.

Remember "Reet Petite" by Jackie Wilson had a claymation video?

Yesterday, I was walking about in the glen between Bilston and Roslin out in Midlothian. It is just outside Edinburgh, not far from Rosslyn Chapel.
There is a viaduct that goes over the drop, but I hate heights. My eyes were nippy from the pollen, as the hay fever season has yet to end.

I want a girlfriend, but I don't think dating sites are all that trustworthy. I also feel like only other aspies would like me.

I seldomly find movies scary. I do really enjoy the atmosphere in them, but I personally never feel frightened by them.
I watched Vampyr the other day, and it is very good. It is a 1930s German movie that has a French guy in it who used the stage name, Julian West.

I liked Moonwalker as a kid. It is like a concert film with music videos, then becomes a sci-fi adventure where Michael becomes a super fast car and a robot, who shoots these soldiers who followed him.
The main bad guy 'Mr. Big' is played by Joe Pesci, and it ends with a cover of a song by the Beatles...

An Eye for an Eye with Chuck Norris.
It has Christopher Lee in it as a villain, and Norris is helped by the Japanese actor, Mako. Oh, and Richard Roundtree from the Shaft movies plays a police captain.
The plot is about a cop trying to avenge the deaths of his partner on the force, and his girlfriend, who was a reporter. She has a tape that can get her boss sent down for shipping out narcotics, but she tries to evade capture, only to be found by this huge guy. They then set it up to make it look like she hanged herself.
There is a rather silly scene where Norris punches a thug, who goes crashing out of a window unrealistically. It just looks so daft. But hell, action movies often are. 🤣

My sister is due to give birth next month. Baby 4.

Yeah. That Australian guy who bothers me online has been trolling me every week for the last 7 years, instead of just getting it through his peanut sized brain that I whole heartedly don't care if he thinks I hate women, or Capcom, or something just as stupid, because of some petty feud from 20 years ago. But who the hell spends 7 years chasing a guy overseas online, who doesn't even like him?
Protip: If somebody doesn't want to know you the first 5,674,387 times you contact him, he won't change his mind if you contact him another 5,674,387 times.
I find it hilarious though that a guy in his 30s wastes so such time spamming on forums, following me about online, pretending he has recruited others, saying my acting sucks, my teeth are big, and so on. This is what you would expect in primary school. Not from a fully grown adult.
That must take up a lot of his time and is highly obsessive. He just keeps denying it's him, even with all the prior logs. I'm to the point now where I don't even care, to be honest.
If he wants to impersonate my user name or post potato jokes elsewhere, so be it. Have a blast, son. But I think this guy is loco.
He was mocking my mother as well. She died last year. He uploaded a doctored picture of her being groped by Sylvester Stallone and Eddie Guerrero. He also made other profiles and added them as "friends" on the main profile he has been using to post comments.
Thanks to him, I no longer put my extra roles on my IMDb page. I suspect he had been messaging people associated with these movies, perhaps trying to persuade them to blacklist me. They never told me if he or anyone else did that, but I did suspect he was likely doing that.
The police in Perth don't lift a finger. They say they don't have the jurisdiction if you are in Scotland. But I always assumed that abusing people online, regardless of the region they are living in, was still a crime.
On this horror films wiki I used to go on, he created dozens of accounts just to edit every page I did, just to be tagged to each one, and was regularly seen viewing the activity stream, then posting comments when you could do so without being signed in. Or he was being a vandal.
I still to this day get him sending me follower requests on other sites, that I immediately reject. And there's some legal advice site with no moderators on it (a rather common issue today). For the last 2 years, he has been posting nonsense as a guest. Remarks like, "Call me in Australia now, we are waiting" or something else just as dumb. And sometimes copying entire quotes of mine, and listing my user names and email addresses to seem powerful.
I even saw what he looks like: Big glasses. Plump. Nerd vibes. Thinking he is clever, when he's really not.
Sad guy...

I grew up listening to VH1 Classic and Magic when I was just beginning high school, and then YouTube came by. The latter cable channel I mentioned was kind of interactive. You could call up and request a song. There was the Box as well.
MTV was drab in the 2000s. It was no longer really about music videos, which was the main focus of the station for years. Instead, it was all reality TV garbage.
It seems Magic ended about 2 weeks ago.

All things come to pass. I just choose to watch movies more now than being on forums, or even YouTube.
The activity sank too low on a lot of message boards, once Twitter and Facebook came along. They died years ago, for the most part. And I started to feel like most of them were just like an abandoned town. As in, they ended up quite desolate. It can depend on the subject as well. Forums can still be busy.
Also, I just kind of lost interest in gaming, for some reason. Although I guess getting older does that to a person.

That poor goat in the first movie. 🐐 🦖

Turkey Shoot, with Olivia Hussey. It was out in 1982.
It is about a group of prisoners at a camp who get released, just to be hunted as part of a sick game. 🤔
Has streaming killed movie theaters?

For foreign language films on DVD that have a dubbed option, this does not always apply to the version they put on Prime. For example, a lot of 'giallo' movies made in Italy are in Italian, but Arrow will only publish it in the default language. Obviously Italian, or Japanese, etc, for Asian movies. So unlike physical releases, they omit the option to change the audio to English, if it is on the DVD or Blu-ray.
Then there's movies like Black Sabbath. I seen a dubbed version, but they only have the Italian audio version on home media.
