Friend and I have picked up on Lara Croft and the Guardian Light again! We made it past The Toxic Swamp tonight. I forgot how much fun this game was! Even after a decade this holds up in 4K.

@ChrisPirillo #1, also with the modification of Kraft superiority. No way would an Atari stick work as well for games needing either precision movement or that crazy back and forth that Epyx Olympic games required.

@neilhimself I love American Gods, but will never give any money to Amazon for any reason.

@trabex that's why I pointed out that it was probably the same price on all the digital platforms.

[OC] Monjuïc Castle

Yesterday, we took a funicular (not pictured, unfortunately) and a cable car up to the Monjuïc Castle fortress. It's an impressive structure with excellent views of the city and there's an active park on the surrounding grounds, but it has a dark history. On multiple occasions, its cannon have been turned on the city below to administer collective punishment for resistance to the crown in Madrid. The fortress has also been the site of numerous atrocities. Look up the Bombardment of Barcelona (1842) for example.

One of the fort's ramparts. This shot reminds me of the forts in San Juan.
A view of the Barcelona coast from the gondola ride up to the fort.
A view of the massive seaport to the southwest of the fort. A big gun on a turret is visible in the foreground.
Another view of the Barcelona coast from the fort.
One of the forts towers with a mast on top.
A big gun with graffiti on it.
Another big gun with graffiti on it. One noticable line reads "puerto rico".

They are probably from the Spanish civil war. The fort was still used as a military facility during the war: …barcelona.cat/…/castle-during-second-republic-an…

I loved the funicular to get up there when i visited. What a great view. It was also neat seeing the evolution of the fortress

Modern TVs have dimming features that can adjust backlight power in specific parts of the screen, sometimes even at the individual pixel level.

We wanted to see whether adapting BBC content could make use of these features and reduce energy consumption.

I turn it off.
It makes little difference to power consumption and distorts the image balance.
Surely BBC R&D can tell you that. They had smart people when I worked in the BBC.
Also I use a 6W sat box, FM TX (sold for phone/mp3 to car radio) and FM Radio for non-local stations. Lower power than many DAB (turned off May 2021 in Ireland).
No-one I know uses TV to listen to Radio, though a £10 USB DVB-T stick can work on laptop or Android.

@BBCRD

The best way to improve energy use in the longer term - is for the to join those on the right side of history.

Stop supporting fossil fuel industries, politicians or the public, by proxy (e.g., stop reporting their non-science rhetoric without critical evaluation)

Either that or just turn the BBC, ITV, etc, off & read a science publication.

How many interviews have actually been done with homeless people? How many of their stories of struggle have you actually heard?

Few to none I'll bet. That's because everyone involved in producing the glamour of a thriving society makes it a priority to suppress just how badly it's failing.

Thanks, very neat! I hope they become useful for people whose voices are under/mis-represented, the way the signal of helped replace some noise from autism speaks on and spread from there.

Looking into that tag led to finding this article, which seems interesting and I will post here, but haven’t fully read yet.

Yes,

I played it on a car ride.

I admit, the cat was the only reason why I bought the game in the first place. I regret nothing for it, though I can see how the charm doesn’t work on others.
