I think Link to the Pastis still my favorite Zelda, probably followed by the original. My former roommate was definitely all about OOT and why I tried to play through it back then

We're in a prime area to see it. As such, it will be cloudy and moving between rain, sleet, and snow (we're not sure which yet) at ~17:44 local time when it comes over.

Zelda OOT. The controls, especially when first using the slingshot and such, with the camera just sucked. I never got far with that after I finally tried it in my mid-/late-20s. It's one of those I found much more enjoyable watching someone else do.

Played Goldeneye for the first time at a barcade in my early 30s and I didn't really enjoy that much.

As I think about it, anything on N64 and maybe Gamecube that I would try once I had time and money later in life just were not great. I had been playing better PC games, even in the same years, and have zero nostalgia for it which probably doesn't help.

This autoplays for anyone else who doesn't want to be jumpscared :/

Hundreds of units of whatever description sounds like a much better place for it than my house.

I moved to Japan a decade ago and there are not time changes (though I'd argue that, at least for eastern Japan, we're in the wrong timezone). It is much easier on my body not making that change twice a year. I have a really sensitive sleep schedule so this is very important to me.

And as my first college ID. And on at least one of my licenses, I think...

UpperEndian format, clearly.

I thought I was going to get drafted just after 2001-09-11 as a young man in the US and nothing has really felt quite at that level since. I did buy a dosimeter when Ukraine was invaded. I don't know what the future holds. I'm glad I don't live near any US military bases nor in the US anymore.

I love the idea, but the billionaires know they're on a timer with regard to staff loyalty and will actively be monitoring the outside world to get out as quickly as possible. In a completely unrelated matter, I think we might have some good spots for building giant concrete structures to contain future radioactive waste...

I instinctively clicked away at 'researchmaxxxxed' (or however many 'x's the thing had). Do I need to go yell at a cloud now?

Hello! I just got an SDR and decided to start listening. As a teen, I bought a scanner from someone and used to fall asleep listening to all the various different conversations. I decided I should probably start again and get my license (for which I am studying).

The SDR I got is "RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Software Defined Radio with Dipole Antenna Kit " and I'm able to pick up some things (various shortwave, FM, AM, nearest airport, etc.), however I can't seem to get the IBP beacon nearest me. This could be in part due to literal mountains between us, I suppose (Japan problems), but I hear no beacons on any of the listed frequencies.

I am using the di-pole antenna included in the kit, fully extended, attached to the east side of my house (about 3km away from the pacific, but I have mountains west and some taller hills north and south). "2x 23cm to 1 m telescopic antennas." is what it says so I suppose It's a bit over 2m tip-to-tip oriented vertically.

Should I be able to receive any of the IBP beacons with my antenna, position, and orientation? Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm happy to go fish if you point me in the right direction, but my searching hasn't turned up anything useful so far (probably user error in that I don't know exactly what to search for).

Thanks very much!
