Hi everyone. I need help. Is there anyone who is good with computers? My PC was working fine as of Thursday evening and then yesterday when I tried to play a game now whenever I try to play a game the whole thing just locks up. Task manager doesn't let me end the game. And the keyboard basically locks up entirely. In the instances when I've been able to get out of the game and back to the desktop clicking restart in the Windows menu doesn't work. I've had to hit the power button and force it to shut down and then start it up that way. My expensive PC is little more than a paperweight at the moment.

Oof.....irobot was inspired by a short story made by Isaac Asimov
nocturne flicker
I, Robot was a collection of Isaac Asimov stories
nocturne flicker
It uses stuff from Little Lost Robot
That whole scene of a 'rogue' robot in a room of robots is directly from that
nocturne flicker
The beginning of the movie with the murder is also tied to The Caves of Steel
In fact the movie was adapted from a screen play and forced into being generic Will Smith movie
Little Lost Robot is basically a robot is told to get lost by someone when they get ticked off while on a military research base and it follows a team trying to discover which robot is the one told to get lost from a group of 60 or so identical robots

@nocturne flicker have you watched the foundation on Apple TV?

It was originally supposed to just be an Agatha Christie style murder mystery set in a scifi scenario
Arnold was going to be in it
Then Denzel Washington got offered the role of the detective when there was a schedule issue with Arnold
And then the original screen writer came back a couple years later and tried to adapt it
And when Smith got signed on someone else took over the rewrite

@elfin mural so sending video i guess counts as streaming

It wasn't perfect
It was the Robin Williams tries to be serious film

nocturne flicker
To be fair, I don't hate I, Robot. It is an average Will Smith film, so it is entertaining for action stuff, just when you look at it critically it has major issues. I think I Am Legend is the better Will Smith short story adaptation film
With the better 'alternative' ending that is
The ending they used was garbage
It still isn't a good adaptation of source material, but the alternate ending is a better nod to it

His Parkinson's diagnosis triggered heavy levels of depression and anxiety
Though Lewy Body Dementia causes depression and anxiety in general
And he actually had Dementia with Lewy Bodies rather than Parkinson's
misty sparrow
I have no idea what any of those medical conditions are but they sound bad
poor dude
nocturne flicker
Parkinson's is when nerve cells die in the part of the brain that controls motor function and dopamine regulation due to the formation of abnormalities called Lewy Bodies. It later causes dementia. Dementia with Lewy Bodies is similar except the mental effects come before motor function is impaired and there is more widespread nerve cell death at the onset. That is a very basic overview though

The PS3 slim is the only time where the slim is a worthwhile upgrade over the original model

Only problem with 360 was the power brick

Because the fat PS3 was a hunk of garbage that had a tendency to dry out and burn themselves to death

that was a hardware fix wasn't it?
they rearchitected the solder used on the cpu package or whatever

We hate the FCC in this household
Hearing the clean version of any Eminem song is horrible
misty sparrow
I probably wouldn’t be able to pick up any of his tracks on the radio anyway
if I used it
surreal comet
Probably not his older tracks
He was very much a product of the late 90s early 2000s
Arguably the only time period where his music was more socially acceptable
As if anything from slim shady was socially acceptable
