Where Is My Mind?

Dimethylmercury is an extremely toxic organomercury compound with the formula (CH3)2Hg. A volatile, flammable, dense and colorless liquid, dimethylmercury is one of the strongest known neurotoxins. Less than 0.1 mL is capable of inducing severe mercury poisoning resulting in death.

I remember hearing the story of Karen Wetterhahn, a chemistry professor who specialized in toxic metal exposure and who was using all of the recommended precautions, who got a couple of drops of the stuff on a glove and died less than a year later.

Don’t forget mercury!

The trailer for Dragon Wars promised me scenes of dragons fighting attack helicopters. This scene did appear in the movie… for about thirty seconds. The rest was an incomprehensible mess of flashbacks within flashbacks and Korean folklore that amounted to very little.

You know what I miss? The Ultimate Alliance games from the PS2 era. Isometric view. Build a four-person team of Marvel characters. Some team combinations grant group buffs, like having all four members of the Fantastic Four will increase your XP gain. Equip your characters. Pick from an array of comic canon costumes, each with their own abilities. Some combinations of equipment or costumes will also grant bonuses like having everyone wear their Age of Apocalypse costume.

The whole thing is an action RPG where you play through some big comic book crisis. Lots of opportunity for villain and hero interaction. Cool cinematics.

It’s a rock-solid platform, but I don’t feel like I see it used nearly enough. I remember playing an Ultimate Alliance on 360 and it just wasn’t as good; smaller roster, fewer costumes, less interesting in general, despite the better graphics.

I vaguely recall hearing something about one on the Switch and that Midnight Sons was a bit similar… but then again I don’t recall hearing much else about those games except for their existence, so they can’t have done very well.

What OS are you using? I was trying to use my Anbernic with wireless controllers, but the default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the controllers every time I switch to a different game and it was impractical to have to keep remapping them over and over.

Proverbs 26:18-19

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”

I also would like the answer to this question.

Bowtie, but make it a little bit smaller.

Pooping is unconstitutional.

Get some real nihilists in there.

I’ve only ever found one zip-up hoodie with decent insulation and pockets deep enough that my phone won’t fall out of them if I’m not careful, and you better believe I’m taking good care of it.

That’s pretty much how the Star Wars galaxy works. KOTOR is set 4000 years before the events of the original trilogy, and it’s basically identical.

He became the devil.

I got some of these that clip on to my glasses for miniature painting, and they were very nice for being able to flip on and off as needed. Looks like these come in different magnification powers, which sounds handy, depending on one’s needs.

I’ve got a 353p and I love the form factor, but I’d like to use it more as a console attached to the TV. The default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the Bluetooth controllers I’ve got, though, so I need to remap them for every game. Have you got a recommendation for a better setup, such that I could leave the thing plugged into the TV and not have to manually reconfigure it every time I start a new game?

It’s a long listen, but I’m a fan of the extended Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go from Soft Cell
