When I was maybe 5 or 6 my mom had hung a couple of "Cydney" clown prints in frames on the wall in my room. Feel free to look them up online for a whimsical taste of 60s-era coulrophobia fuel ๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

Every time we went out of town to visit relatives the glass on one of them would be fogged over when we came back. It was creepy as shit and I would refuse to step foot into my room until my dad wiped the fog off the glass.

I think the lighter area in the upper right corner of the painting. I can kinda see it. It'd be over the girl's left shoulder at about 2 o'clock.

Check out https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ They have a ton of non led-lit keyboards. I've ordered a few from them and their pricing and service is excellent.

Check out Autochrome images, some very intriguing early color photography using that process.

Looks great! The reinforcement work on the back of the soundboard looks especially impressive!

I'd love to see Darkwatch get ported to PC and remastered. Loved it on ps2 and have it working at a somewhat cranked up resolution on emulator, but a legit updated PC port would be awesome.

We do Greenlight for this, which has a management app and a debit card. It's not perfect, but it's working well for our preteen son and is pretty flexible. We can add money when he completes chores and can partition what he can spend where. It works and he's definitely gaining more of an understanding of how to manage his money.

Edit - Greenlight also gives you a qr code and payment link that (e.g.) his grandmother can use to pay him for mowing her yard, etc. No cash involved.

Same - just canceled New York Times because I got sick of all the sanewashing. I'm a new Boston Globe subscriber now!

I love the shit out of mine. Got the VrCover face pieces which keep sweat from being a problem. I mainly play heavily modded Skyrim VR and a few different exercise games. My son plays a ton of different games with his friends. I don't think they are for everyone, but not a gimmick IMO.

I have a shield connected to a projector through an av receiver. I love the setup for its audio visual fidelity, but I love the simplicity of operation almost as much. The shield remote turns everything on and off and handles all my streaming services + steam link flawlessly. Wonderful user experience.

Thanks! This looks kinda hilarious and awesome. Was able to find it on archive.org and grabbed a copy for my plex server : https://archive.org/details/the-humanoid

The impermanence of life, and whether the next time in the coliseum will be his last.

 

Hatchling Carolina Mantis wondering what I'm doing in its face. Here's hoping these little guys can bring the fight to the enemy bugs in our garden!
