Direct Attached Storage. It’s kinda like NAS but not in network. One could argue it’s just an external hard drive. If I remember correctly I went with one because it was more affordable. I was on a tight budget at the time.

The 80s had amazing TV show theme songs. If I only had to pick one it would be Miami Vice.
0·1 month agoMy favorite film is Strange Days. When I was about 11 or 12 years old I saw the trailer on TV. The imagery and music in the trailer hooked me. I was too young to watch an R-rated film at that time, but about a year later I watched it on the cable box at home. I loved the film. The opening scene set the grittiness of the rest of the film. It was also the first time I watched scenes from a film shot in first person, and they did all that before small cameras like GoPros existed.
The soundtrack is terrific. I think I bought the CD at Tower Records, I still have that in storage somewhere. Since the DVD release back in the early 2000s I’ve made it a thing to watch the film every December.
Star Citizen. I’m less disappointed in the tech demo than how Chris Roberts has handled the business end of it.
I grew up on Wing Commander, Privateer, Starlancer, and Freelancer. I still have all those games on physical media with original boxes. And the Wing Commander CIC is the one website I still visit daily since 1997-ish. So when Roberts pitched a new space game back around 2012 I was thrilled. Well, we all know how that turned out. I’ve given up waiting for any release of Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
