The fun bit starts at 7m 11s in, where I utterly destroy the enemy ult stack. I cancel Rein's hammer down, survive D.va's nerf, completely eat Moira's coalescence (through extensive use of bashy-bashy and my own rally), and smash Junkrat's tyre, all in rapid succession.

I think we can all agree that's a pretty good Brigitte run.

Anybody have an old Win98 USB mass storage device driver? I've set up an real Win98 box on the machine that used to be door.murkworks.net - it's a P166 from 1996 and accordingly hilarious. I have USB running on it, but not drivers for USB disk drives, and I want that working, in no small part because the non-lulz non-vintage-games part of this ( Read more... )

It’s a Roland SC-55 MIDI Sound Canvas from 1991! I can now make all the noises you heard in any videogame in the 1990s.

Not as much time this year at Folklife as usual - no particular reason, really, other than I wanted to spend a couple of those days working on the album. But I did have a lot of fun jamming with Alouest on Sunday, doing the Quebecois trad thing. Sarah Kellington from Pinnpied made it too, and a good time was had by all.

I also picked up my ( Read more... )

Whelp, the CD burning robot seems to have packed it in pretty good this time - doesn’t respond to commands, does randomly flail tiny arms around… I’ve managed to revive it before, but it’s never been this random.

I’m thinking of getting a multi-disc stacked CD duplicating controller and some CD burners - I was looking at this controller and this ( Read more... )

Finally - finally - back to recording and doing some music; Sunnie’s in today for what should be a pretty short session. Also, I did some comping work last night, after the latest round of carpet cleaning. (I’m about to admit surrender and call professionals in early on the sealed-off areas of the Lair. And I thought supervillainy was evil!)

I’m ( Read more... )

You know how all those white plastic electronics - computers, game systems, lamps, just whatever - start to turn yellow after a few years? And no amount of cleaning will fix it, not even bleach, which tends to just hurt the plastic a bit?

A few years ago, some antique computer collectors - particularly of old Amiga, Commodore, and Atari white ( Read more... )

On the Clipper ferry heading to Victoria! I’m not as fond of the Clipper as the other ferries; it’s not bad but it… it’s kind of airplanish. Not as bad as an airplane, not at all, but there’s no lounge or anything like the train or the peninsula ferries.

My head cold seems to be letting up, so I might do an open mic at Cornerstone Cafe, but no ( Read more... )

I’ve been talking about this idea I’ve had for an electric instrument; a bass-type fretted set of strings across the top bar - a stick-type bass - and a panel of deep harp strings coming off the bottom of that which could be finger-plucked, all with electric pickups and stuff.

It just struck me as something an elfmetal band should have, and I’m ( Read more... )
