My 5.25" internal BD drive for my computer has a problem where it won't reliably open when it's empty, but has no issues when there's a disc inside. I have therefore found the ideal disc to use as a permanent resident: one that's professionally manufactured, commonplace and valueless, and useless.

And bit the bullet and updated my primary desktop to Windows 11 due to the #Endof10. That was surprisingly pain free. Only two showstopping errors that required me to search for forum posts to get solutions and continue onwards. Sadly, I count that as pretty good by modern computing standards.

With the #Endof10 approaching, I put Ubuntu on my aging Acer Switch 2-in-1. Tried OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Zorin, but only Ubuntu played nice with the touchscreen and automatically called up an on-screen keyboard when in tablet mode, so that's what I'm going with.

At last, the trilogy is complete. The third Valis collection is the cool one for sickos because it has the really dank versions like PC88 Valis 1 and MSX2 Valis 2.

Never thought I'd see the day when both of these games have basically flawless arcade ports on a single console.

I cut that Gordian Knot by setting things up so that I can only have one retro console hooked up to my CRT at a time (all the others live in a cabinet when not in use). The rat's nest is still a rat's nest, but at least it's a STABLE nest now.
