We don't have any wax cylinders where I work. But the archive up the road has a small collection. Recorded about 1905. As for asking other sections favours to get stuff digitised... We call that technical training. 😁

I'll go tell the audio guys that they're cool. I'm video and film myself, so I'm still pretty cool. At least, my wife thinks I'm cool.* *trust me, she really does. No need to ask her.

Republic of Rome is a brilliant game. Never managed to finish a full game alas.

Haven't played it much in recent (er, like last 25) years. But I did play it about 2 years ago with my wife. I'd told her about the game and she was fascinated by it. So one day, I bought her a copy as a present and we were able to get 6 player game going. She was out of the gate like a bolt...

I work at an archive. We have at least 4 working reel-to-reel machines. So I guess that... love is all around me.

Each to their own, obviously. But, as I said in my OP, I thought it was the perfect ending for the show. A lovely elegy for a show that was so much about death. Sure, dying wasn't it's main theme. Living a good life was it's main theme. But death was very much in the mix. Ooh yeah. That's a...

I have Tubi. And some spare evenings coming up.

I have to admit - I never saw season 5 due to work schedule/broadcast schedule conflict.

Since we have drifted back towards the OP topic... Pineapple clearly does not belong on pizzas. It belongs on hamburgers.

Some pop culture references get old. e.g. Winter is coming. But Death by Snu-Snu? Evergreen.

Back in the day when this first aired in Australia I worked nights. So I didn't see a lot TV. Eg. I've never seen more than a few snippets of Twin Peaks. What I did manage to catch of Six Feet Under hooked me. I know it's on one of the streaming services I've got. I think it's time I went back...

I did not know that. Very cool.

Something in the Pineapple Express thread got me thinking about the endings of TV shows. (Sorry, I can’t remember exactly what was said that started this train of thought.) I got thinking about TV shows that have endings that elevate the show above and beyond what it already was. Whether the...

My answer is: depends on how experienced my character is. Doing the equivalent of 1st level character? Not much. Some basics about where they grew up (if it's not pre-set) and family, training, and why they are embarking on a life of adventure (again, if not pre-set.) More importantly I would...

Felt to me like it reached it's natural conclusion. A really good ending.

I liked the random weather tables in Wilderness Survival Guide. Sometimes I want to randomly decide what the weather is like because it feels more like a neutral decision, unbiased by what I am hoping for the adventure. And other times I want to start my adventure (or novel or sceenplay) with...

Japanese RolePlay Game.

Look, the Hittites were okay, very cool jugs for pouring wine. But I'm giving the gong to the Mitanni. Well that is disappointing. I liked Hyperion. And a few of his other books were okay. Ah well. Look I'm not going to throw out my copy of Hyperion, but I won't be recommending him to others...

Huzzah!

Well... yes and no. I once ate so many wasabi peas I burned off my taste buds. They grew back.
