Have to think there is more to come, no? Nintendo has said no over and over again to a theme park. It would be ridiculous for them to move forward now with a plan that won’t wow the world in the end.
My internet has been randomly cutting out for a few seconds every once in awhile for a month or two now. Is there any way to test the router and modem or whether it’s my internet provider without removing each from the connection to my PC?
Who is your provider? Mine does the same.
Here’s a good answer from the web but may require some technical knowhow:
Things I check when troubleshooting a network issue with a provider. Note here that ‘ping’ means ‘do an extended ping, sweeping a range of sizes, and sending at least 1000 packets at each size, looking for latency, loss and errors’.
- Ping your ISP’s hand-off from a device on the same subnet. (Confirms that there are no L2 problems between you and your ISP).
- Ping your ISP’s hand-off from a device on one of your internal subnets. (Confirms that you have no routing/security issues between your internal network and your ISP)
- Ping an IP in your provider’s network. If you can’t find one that’s publicly listed, or the helpdesk won’t give you one, do a traceroute to something in the internet, and use the second or third hop. This confirms that routing between you and your ISP is configured correctly.
- Ping an internet IP . I normally use 4.2.2.1, one of Level3’s DNS servers that is easily remembered. This confirms that routing from your ISP to the specific IP you’ve pinged is correctly configured.
- Ping an internet domain name . This verifies your/your provider’s DNS configuration is correct.
If steps 1 or 2 fail, it’s most likely a problem on your internal network.
If step 3 fails, there would appear to be a problem in your provider’s network. Note, though, that if you get no response at all then your ISP may have simply blocked ICMP to/from their infrastructure addresses.
Step 4 failing indicates a potential problem between your ISP and one of their upstream providers.
Step 5 failing indicates issues with name resolution.
Method 3 is similar to how I identified the issue being my ISP. I have spectrum.

Midco which has been near flawless until this started happening. I can figure that out. Thx.
Seems like the right thread for this - what’s a good pair of bluetooth headphones to get, and is it possible to get a pair without the auto-shutoff feature? My Turtle Beach set just sort of physically fell apart this morning. I got a good five years out of them so could just get the same again, but if possible, I’d like to avoid the scourge of ‘Auto shutdown enabled, press power to ca-shutdown disabled’. Any recommendations?
i picked up rocket league again and after a couple nights of shaking off the rust im back in form. Hit plat on Duo and standard pretty quick and closing in some diamond in both, playing duo mostly with a friend thats never played it much so he’s still picking it up. Playing solo on standard and feeling still pretty good but definitely seeing some high flying shit occasionally that wows me.
Omg were you a daoc player?? It’s always fun to run into another one in the wild ie somewhere other than Vault (or what used to be Vault)

No. But I hear how awesome it was all the time. I played Warhammer until the devs fucked it to all hell which Mark Jacobs also created. 6 - 12 of us were well organized and could wipe up to sometimes a few raids at a time. My best times video gaming by far. My good friend played DAOC and then Warhammer with me and said DAOC was even better for small 6-8 man groups wrecking mass amounts of people.
I just got the randomizer mod to try to stir up a new challenge for myself. You can randomize item drops, of course, but also enemies and even how rooms connect to each other. Nothing like starting a new game and immediately running into a second-iteration boss as a standard enemy in the first area.
We watched some of King of Kong tonight and dlk9s jr said, “Billy Mitchell looks like discount Keanu Reeves.”

Hahaha, awesome.
Wonderful out of nowhere movie too. Its fantastic.
Yeah, it’s great - I’ve seen it before. Thought boy would like it because he loves classic video game stuff. We just finished the High Score documentary series on Netflix.
I’ve been replaying Little Nightmares, which is a delightfully spooky side-scrolling puzzle game with a very unsettling visual style. Perfect for some Halloween-time gaming.
The top one is Final Fantasy… what, 28 years ago?
SUPER
HOT
