      The pop cans exploded

      This week we are going in the -15 to -18C range

      Still very tough weather conditions!

      Lowest temp I experienced was about -20C while snowboarding (about 3000 mt elev.), with quite strong winds.... not fun at all.
      Can't even imagine how -45C feels.

        I would be very interested in overlays for space fury and star castle.

        Star Castle created and available in the Repo:

        Note: had no time to actually test it.

          @UDb23 - Thanks for the new overlay.

          You're spot on. The wind is the wild card killer for sure. Cold with no wind is still pretty cold and causes frost bite quickly but once you add wind in the mix it becomes a killer that strips heat from the body pretty fast and stings.

          The house made a lot of "popping" noises as things expanded. Concrete and driveways up-heave a few inches. Chimney's are caked in ice due to warn moist air hitting extreme cold. Windows freeze with ice on the inside. Where the air meets the window glass it (the air) can't hold as much moisture so it "drops" water droplets on the window and overnight you get pretty thick ice. Tire pressure lowers with cold so sensors are tripped for low tire pressure. That kind of cold just eats batteries. I always buy the biggest cold cramping amp battery I can get a hold of for my car. We also fight a little with freezing rain so in this area we pull up your windshield wipers so they are up off the windshield, like you're cleaning the windshield, and then leave them that way at work. No one usually messes with them.

            We do the same in winter in the mountains; all other things you described are something we never had around here. They sound fascinating from some point of view but would imagine daily life becomes extremely complicated if those conditions persist over longer periods.

              They are definitely interesting in short bursts. You see things happen you never thought cold would do but overall I like the cold. It may sound weird but after that extreme cold for a few days being above above zero actually feels ok, especially if the sun is shining. :)

              Ok heading out here. I have to be at work early tomorrow as we are starting our implementation phase of our VMWare and SRM upgrade on all our blade servers so I'll be off and on over the next week. Then I'll settle into a routine of upgrading each blade.

                  @UDb23 @quicksilver - My wife let me interrupt her show and do a quick test during a commercial break. It's works good. Meleu's menu is incredibly quick for testing.

                  @quicksilver - I still use your Quake stress test when overclocking. It's become my go to for stability testing now. :)

                    @Riverstorm Thats great to hear. I am still in the process of getting my setup switched over to retropie 4.4 so I havent had a chance to check out the overlay yet. I am upgrading my pi3b to a 3b+ and it should be coming tomorrow so I am definitely running some quake 3 stress testing in the near future :)

                          @UDb23 Any idea why I am getting a black screen while using your missile command overlay? I can see the overlay and I can hear the game audio but game-play area is black. Tested without the overlay and the game works fine.

                              Seems one of the cfg files was messed up.
                              Can you try again now ?

                                That's weird I have no problems at all. I'm pretty sure I tried before you changed the cfg file.

                                  @Brigane it was setting specific viewport for 1080p. Worked fine on my tv too;maybe he has a different resolution screen. Updated cfg relies on core provided game area instead of fixing coordinates.

                                    @UDb23 My Tv is 1080p. Ill have to check if I messed with the video out settings. Nonetheless thanks for fixing it!

                                        @UDb23 so I updated and downloaded it again but the problem persists. I checked and video mode is set to 1080p. Do I need to delete the old one before downloading the new one?

                                          @quicksilver no reason to delete. But just to be sure try deleting. Still same problem of game area covered?
                                          Are the other overlays working ?

                                            @UDb23 every other one I have tested has worked fine. It's just this one (so far) that I noticed didn't work right. When I'm next by my pi I will remove the overlay and replace and see if that helps and report back.

                                            Edit: deleting the zip.cfg and then reinstalling took care of the issue
