Normally I’d let this sort of thing just die out but an alarming amount of you have asked where you can buy this and my wife had to have an emergency surgery the day before I made this, so here is my chance to live the American Dream (selling print-on-demand shirts to pay down medical debt)

I actually am doing a second pass on it as the shield was not properly supported using my usual export supporting system (load the file in Blueprint studio, tilt it upwards 45 degrees, click auto support, never look back) so I moved him up about 15 degrees and manually added more to the back of it

I’m always glad for you to be back and truly wish you had a better website to return to.

It’s incredible just how bad at social media every executive at this social media company actually is. (This is in reference to her following The Heritage Foundation btw)

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

Some inappropriately creepy golf content - Sente Mini Golf (1986) has DIP switches that add photos of missing children to the attract mode (and to enable a "LOCATED" message per kid). These profiles were replaced with new ones in updated ROMs.

Modern operators seem to leave them on, a lot. 😨

A Reddit post from r/creepygaming by user SuperCamouflageShark - I saw these missing child reports on the attract mode of a Sente Mini-Golf arcade machine recently.

The photo is of a Sente Mini Golf machine, displaying black-and-white photographs of missing children: Tahj Allen Merriman, and Steven Phillip Curtis. Their profiles are filled out in red text.

Another photograph of a different Sente Mini Golf machine, displaying the same photos of missing children.

Sente Mini Golf running under MAME, with the DIP Switches menu showing. DIP switches 3, 4, and 5 configure whether the missing children are displayed in the attract mode, with switches 4 and 5 showing or hiding a "LOCATED" stamp over the respective kid's photo.

Screenshot of Sente Mini Golf running under MAME; this screen shows two different missing children: Malinda Marie Smith and April Rose Yates. For the sake of demonstration I have enabled the "LOCATED" flag on the kid on the right. (DISCLAIMER: I do not have any information on whether April was located or not. This is strictly a demonstration and is not intended as documentation of a real event.)

Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of Time Gal, who killed Death itself in AD 666

I am using Aurora, so I am assuming I just need to go look at Myrient or the archive for the packages and set up the directory on my external HDD?

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 1d

Oh damn, I have the original for ps2 and switch but had no idea those freaks at Cave released a 360 exclusive sequel. I have to figure out how to hook a stick up to this thing.

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 1d

I know XBLA is possible (i had it on the old hard drive on here) but it does require some research to figure out where to get them and how to install them. I think I’ll let mutuals dictate that list entirely when I get around to it.

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 1d

I have it downloaded and converted but am in the process of switching to a larger hard drive so it will fit. I really bounced off of it at launch but think I'll enjoy it more now.

Unfortunately XBLA games will require some additional research but I have disc games running already. Annoyingly I do have that on my actual account, but no way to log in using said account without getting my kids banned from Minecraft as far as I can tell.

Damn, great call

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 1d

This is going to be used on a CRT but I am also not exactly in a hurry to play anything made where reading stuff at 480i will be an issue, especially since there’s a good chance I have the PC version in most cases.

Quick, tell me what true sicko 360 game (NTSC/U or RF only, I haven't figured out how to set it to Region Free) to put on the JTAGed 360 I dug out of storage last week. For the record, here's what is on there already

a bunch of 360 games. I don't have the ability to copy/paste text from my laptop, sorry, but I think your screenreader will work and if not please just ask me and I will make the time.

Do you hear yourself? Is it in anyway defensible to upend the global economy and hasten ecological collapse because some dipshits finally invented a computer that is bad at math?

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 1d

We are on day two of this while I wait for my Q4 projects and things are not getting better (this is after I told it that Averlanders start with an additional 100gc too)

Copilot adding up 630 and telling me it is 509

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 2d

Not complaining but I wonder how many of these are just leftovers from them adding femme kharadron overlord and chaos dwarf heads to those AOS lines

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 2d

Most importantly, I very rarely buy Games Workshop models, generally focus on AoS when I do, and besides Mordheim (a game they haven't supported in 20 years) the only game I am in danger of playing is Kill Team, so my opinions here don't really count.

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Fear) @emotion-engine.bsky.social · 2d

Also, I deeply respect going hard butch for proper lady astartes, a move that will again make certain cool people very happy and the worst humans in the hobby seethe powerlessly.

I have probably too many feelings here. I don't think the fiction needs lady astartes when it's pretty obvious all space marine sex organs were replaced long ago AND there's already 1.5 women in power armor factions, but I respect that this will make people I like happy and people I despise mad

are they soft-launching female space marines
