Nathan Strum

This was a great video.  Love seeing the games designer/creator insights.  Thanks for sharing...

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in, and stops my bees from wondering...

So you're living in Beehrain?

Space Ca-det!

Would you end up summoning Satan by playing them backwards, though?  Not sure you want to risk it...

On the other hand, Nathan and Satan sounds like a somewhat cool band name.

If you can suffer through the ads on this page it's actually quite good.

That article is a good start, although it only scratches the surface. Their support for enterprise and educational customers is absolutely abysmal. When they pushed out CC 2019 a year ago, the licensing broke for labs. They've since removed their document warning administrators, but it said, in part:

"What happens if I try to update lab environments to Creative Cloud 2019?

First, please do not attempt to upgrade lab environments to Creative Cloud 2019 at this time as, unfortunately, Creative Cloud 2019 is not currently available for labs. If you attempt to update shared environments (labs and classrooms) to Creative Cloud 2019, the apps installed on a machine will run in trial mode."

They posted this after CC 2019 shipped. It took months for the licensing issues to get sorted out.

Photoshop 2020 was a train-wreck of bugs and crashes when it shipped in the fall. We're still patching it.

Look on the bright side. The CEO that was running things at Adobe now works for Maxon. So we got that going for us. Which is nice. That and the total consciousness on our death beds thing. 

Just finished up the third season of Stranger Things.  Netflix has been on my shitlist, though, ever since they started autoplaying video in all their clients.  They can right FOAD for that as far as I'm concerned.

we cancelled our Netflix after 15 or so years this month as well- there's just no value in it for us.  Disney+, on the other hand.....

I also canceled Hulu because I just don't watch any network shows at all. All the stuff I wanted to see (mainly gaming & wrestling) is on YouTube.

Did I provide excellent service for you today, NATHAN?

HAHAHA!  And Agent can see as you type, but you no see as Agent type.

...

I am thankful, that I don't have to participate in a stupid turkey dinner.  Lobster, King Crab and a $100 bottle of wine will do just fine.

Gorf Arcade?  HELL YEAH!!!

@CPUWIZ   Me neither!  Even when I ate meat, I thought turkey sucked...A lump of dry flavorless tranquilizer so bad you had to add gravy before it was even lightly edible!  No thanks.

Stay safe, I know what it is like to get rained on by ash.  I still don't know how the hell they saved our town, EVERYTHING around it burned to the ground.  Most insane experience ever, looking at the burn map, closing in.  My entire town of 7000 people was completely surrounded by the fire.  I guess enough super rich people live here and it is the home of Johnny Cash. LOL

CPU I am so glad you are safe. It's been relatively quiet up here in NorCal (this year) compared to where you are at. Of course it gets a bit louder with all the generators running during the mandatory power outages

Johnny Cash. How appropriate. "I fell into a burning ring of fire..."

Evacuations are in Porter Ranch. The fires closer to Santa Clarita are isolated hot spots. The wind has died down, and is blowing away from us. I-5 is open, and it wouldn't be if the fire was threatening to jump it.

I'm in Santa Monica, and I've been able to smell the smoke from the fires for the last two hours. This is with all of my windows closed.

Lived in Cal for 42 years. Haven't seen a flood, haven't seen a mudslide and only felt a handful of earthquakes. Only 1 major earthquake in 42 years....

I want millions of dollars for losing in baseball.

Much respect for King Felix from a long time A's fan. He had his way with us for a good chunk of his career!

2- 'at'

I'm with Swami!  But just to check, I typed an A...So "A" ?

I imagine a children's first book on the alphabet which starts with "A is for AtariAge" and a bright picture next to it.

What makes you think things arrive intact?

UPS always handles with care. Feel confident each and every time you choose them.

@save2600 when you say 1080 monitor, I think of something else. 

Then I found this and thought of you and your Amiganess. 

Yeah, Reminds us in California, The Big One can hit at anytime

San Francisco is Due

I've seen video of swimming pools sloshing around. Stay safe you left coasters!

The freaky thing about the swimming pools sloshing is that the water isn't what's moving - it's the swimming pools.

I'd rather keep my junk, thank you very much.

(Condescending Lemony Snicket voice) The word junk used in this context refers to testicles. 

Yes...The Eternal question,...Where to display my mint condition, boxed copy of Nathan Strum Presents, Swordquest: Pantsworld  ?  

Make sure your RAID enclosure's ventilation is working the way that it should.  The last time I had two drives go bad in one array, the (likely) culprit turned out to be a dead fan.

No temp or fan issues. 

I'm waiting for that to start happening with my RAIDs, as I bought all of the drives at the same time.  I do have one RAID backup to another near identical unit, though, and then they are also backed up to external drives.. 

I have heard of another operating system that could be used for video production

they call it

winn-does?

Our infrastructure is (currently) all Mac-based. That's not to say it couldn't change, but it couldn't change quickly.

Man, and here I was hoping for a comeback of the XServe!

I'm so used to good, dark, high % cacao chocolate now, that I taste sugar in lots of chocolate I used to eat...Always preferred dark chocolate even back then though

I've heard that our sensitivity to bitterness decreases as we become adults. I'm still waiting.

I like dark chocolate but lately 72% dark tastes too sweet to me. I prefer the 85%.
