    Whirlpool is what my fridge is and I've overall been pretty happy with it. And yeah, a couple of my pots and pans won't work on it, but the vast majority will and I have too many anyway. I just need another narrow, but tall pot to replace my old one. That sounds pretty obnoxious about yours...

    Not much to see! Just a basic black cooktop. Actually haven't even used it yet, aside from testing out cooking some tortillas in that pan there. My wife actually wanted to go out to eat tonight, which I would normally relish; not having to cook is usually a relief, but at this point I...

    Unfortunately, I'm planning on dying immediately.

    Well, the cooktop was a pretty huge job considering the counter cutting. But I got it in today and one of the mounting brackets immediately fell off, so my wife put in some 2x4 blocks as mounts underneath and then I added some shims to make sure everything was good. It's a bit of a hack job, but...

    Huh weird. I did start it on my Deck some time ago, but it mostly looked ok from what I remember. But it's been awhile, so I may be misremembering.

    I didn't end up picking up too much, only three games and one of them wasn't even on sale, but I'm going to return it, because it ended up not being very interesting. I want to get back to Stalker. I was playing it on Deck, which is a good fit for it, but I get so frustrated trying to use a...

    Unfortunately, we're probably going to have to cut in place here. We're well aware of the dust factor, but hoping we can mitigate with some plastic sheets and water... we'll see... we don't have a lot of choice, unfortunately. If I don't have a stove tonight, I'm going to try and cook on my...

    Have had severe neck pain since yesterday, which has been pretty annoying. Been stretching a lot and also hitting the Ibuprofen, but nothing is really helping, so I'm just trying to get along and ignore it. Today I removed my cook top: Unfortunately, discovered that the hole is a mere 1/2...

    I know almost exactly where you're talking about and yeah, that's a lot of ladders. Didn't recall the boss off the top of my head, unless it's the one on the cliff that overlooks the Manor? I finished RoboCop a few days ago. Think I got about 20 hours out of it, which was definitely worth the...

    Boy, my car just needs constant attention. Had this issue about 1300-miles into my road trip in September, but managed to resolve it temporarily to drive the next 700-miles back home. Unfortunately, it's back. I'm not entirely sure what it is yet, but it's possible I have a bad alternator...

    Worth noting that I just upgraded two of my unsupported PCs to Win 11 and so far, so good. Performance on the desktop seems great so far, no different than Windows 10. Games, I'm not sure yet. Two games we've played on it have had poorer performance, but that may be due to hardware, not sure...

    I voted for Abiotic Factor, because that's the only one that I saw I've actually played this year.

    An absolute steal for $3.99. One of my favorite games and I've gotten hundreds of hours of entertainment out of it, though it takes some effort to understand.

    I've tinkered with it on my laptop, but not much beyond that. I may give it a go depending on how things are looking on the laptop with the 4th gen i7 and 970m. It's currently running Teardown for my 5-year old and it's running a little slowly, but still playable, but I think that's pretty much...

    Ouch, sorry to hear. Migraines are the absolute worst. Hopefully you're a bit better today. My sinus infection is finally lifting, though I'm expelling a lot of stuff... Haven't played a ton the last few days. I'm still close to finishing RoboCop and I was pretty deep in to Baldur's Gate EE...
