Likewise, some plants like the Philodendron family are said to be very sensitive and compatible with oscilloscopes. There was the story about an owner who got into telephatic contact with such a plant: Each time he watered his plant, be concentrated on the act of watering his plant, while the plant …

However one thing is sure, medications for depression have to stop. They work at a less-refined level than the one in which MIND works. No. Mine was a general statement towards a permanent solution(possibly) under more or less normal conditions. At the same time, I do understand that it may not be …

Afraid this is not possible, as it is a contradiction...unless one includes the hardware.cpp file itself in the savestate source file, which is totally demeaning 🤣 . More importantly, there was no crash when I 'Save-Loaded' my usual test case with this build 😀 .

Nonsense, we need to continue the trend of building a global economy and homogenising our cultures so that there's more "us" than "them". This is the process responcible for what has been a very peacful period in our history (relatively speaking) and although it will falter from time-to-time, it's …

Never played any scary games in the recent past, well, apart from demos of some survival horror genre Games (Metro 2033 & Bioshock), played last year. Of course there is the old classic, Half-life 1, with its head-grab-crabs, played few years back. Maybe, someday, I would make up my mind to play …
