Ghost Town is Mandatory.

I may be shouting into a void, but Ghost Town, by Fireproof Games, is amazing. Played for about an hour and a half last night and it's already in my top three VR experiences. These folks made The Room games and it's every bit as good. If you like a more action and plot, probably better. If you're into VR this is my first and best recommendation for anyone looking for a game.

Night time color temp not changing since update, KDE Plasma

Relative novice, sorry if I get some details/terms wrong. Been running a KDE Plasma install for about 9 months and it's awesome. Since I did a last update from the desktop, the nighttime color temp settings don't change. It's always warm unless I manually suspend it. I tried undoing and redoing the setting. The clock is correct and settings all seem correct, but it won't cycle. Any help you have is appreciated in advance.

Replace spa air switch?

I've spent a few days researching how to replace my air switch / timer box with something remote control. Water got in the air switch line and it hasn't worked right since. I've looked for replacement breakers, maybe some contactors with wifi etc. I don't need a timer function, just on and off for my spa pump and blower. I believe they each run on a 220v 20amp circuit. The pictures below are the old box with timer and air switch, and the breakers that precede that box, which I believe is a quad plex arrangement. I'm open to replacing the breakers or the box.

I'm a novice with this stuff so any guidance you have is appreciated in advance. I actually spoke with intermatic and their rep told me they don't have any single boxes that can control 2 220v circuits, which seems insane to me since the original is an intermatic product.

Max Mustard is a big surprise. (In a good way)

If I'm late to the party on this, my apologies. I just got the game because it's cheaper with PSPremium. It's awfully close to the VR Astrobot we hoped we would get. I've played about 3-4 hours and am on the second "world", and so far it's an absolute blast. If you played the original Astrobot Rescue for PSVR1 it's very similar. I don't want to go on too long, but here is a short list of pros and cons:

Pros:

*They add a few Mario-like mechanics with hidden blocks and overworld maps. *They add direct participation in the environment from the player a bit like Moss for some levels and it's great *Some score attack mini-games based on game mechanics

  • Movement and jump physics feel very smooth and intuitive

Cons:

  • The graphics and art are great but not quite the level of an Astrobot or Mario
  • They don't really develop the additional mechanics much or make make them integral to the gameplay
  • The difficulty is generally lower than a Mario, maybe a hair lower than Astrobot, but it has some strange ups and downs mid-game that make some parts feel too easy and others feel strangely frustrating. (This is minor, but it does pop-up from time to time.)

If you liked Astrobot VR this will definitely be a good choice for you, and over-all I think it's one of the better titles available on PSVR2 currently. I hope that's helpful information.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii actually leaked months ago, but it was so ridiculous nobody believed it

"Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was revealed earlier today, setting up the bizarre story of fan-favorite Goro Majima donning buccaneer cosplay and sailing the high seas. In the wake of the announcement, people are suddenly starting to remember that an accurate outline of the entire game actually leaked months ago - it was just so ridiculous nobody believed it was true."

Jury reaches verdict in Trump case

JUST IN: The jury has reached a verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York. The verdict will be read in court shortly. The 12-person jury has been considering whether Trump is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which are all connected to the alleged cover up of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The jury must be unanimous in its decision. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case and denies the affair with Daniels.
