Can you believe these people wanting to defrock and remove this United Church Minister just because she's an atheist and denounced the bible!    :P

Vosper continues to enjoy strong support from her congregation, which said it would continue to stand by her.

Apparently the church-goers are totally cool with it.

Stock market has been awfully good to me this week.   :)

General Discussion / Re: Building your own 8 bit breadboard computer

When I was in university we had to build up and program most of a PDP-8.  It was fun, but it was one of those things where I didn't really have any idea what i was doing until the end when it all came together.
Oldest beast I ever worked on was a PDP-11, but they both had that "backup" interface with the blinking lights and you literally flip switches to represent individual bits.  Fortunately the primary TTY was pretty reliable.

Neat.  Yeah we had to flip switches to program it in our class too.  I vaguely remember(it was 15 years ago) that the part that gave me the most grief was getting the clock working.

And it wasn't an actual PDP-8 we were working on, it was some kind of PDP-8 equivalent which was basically just a big breadboard and we had to program a bunch of chips and wire them together to make it all work right.  I wish I could find some pictures, but my google-fu is failing me.

There is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sniper_video_games but it doesn't look very complete.

I'm always worried about our fishy resources.  :'( Ocean Acidification could kill them all.   :o

A world war 1 FPS other than Verdun.

I don't see why, Battlefield 1 is very realistic.

At this point, I'm just instantly muting/blocking anyone who starts talking like they know what class everyone else needs to play to win the game. Overwatch is so much fun when I'm not listening to judgmental pricks who blame everyone else when they fail.

Yeah, I just turn off my voice chats.  I like communication, but its mostly just people whining about picks.  I'd rather assume people are just having fun.

Huh. Eador Genesis is going for less than a buck on humble. That's... probably a good deal.

I didn't like it much, but for less than a dollar its kinda hard to be disappointed.  :D

Sir, the hammerer has died.  We need to appoint a new one to deal with the mass murderer.
Overseer: I see, ah here's someone with excellent combat skills, I appoint them.
But sir...that's....

Probably the safest way to deal with it to be honest.  Maybe the newly found responsibility and status will stop his murder spree.   :P

I think my feeder locusts have laid some eggs in their sandbox. Cautiously optimistic about this, because I know my set up isn't the best for hatching eggs.

Neat.  What are you going to feed them too?

Yeah those are all things I should be doing, but also am probably too lazy to do.  :) 

I kind of wish there were more youtube guides by people in the master and up tiers.  I like to play Pharah and do watch this guy Valkia's videos to try to learn how I should be playing.  Mostly all I've learned is shoot rockets from really really far away and be crazy good at conc-jumping all over the place.   :P

My aim definitely could be better though, so I do try to work on that a little bit.

I've been doing pretty mediocre in season 2 so far.  I'm starting to suspect its because I don't play it exclusively and everybody else is getting better faster than I'm getting better.   :P

One of the companies I own stock in just released that they have received several offers to buy the company.  The stock price jumped 16% this morning.  :D

Edit: 20%.  :D :D
