Spooky season is here yet again and it brings some creepy changes to Footknight Media! A few fun little Halloween-themed emotes available on Twitch and Discord as well as sneakily hidden throughout this website! Later this month we'll be doing some Halloween giveaways including Trick or Trade 2022 and 2023 sets! Tune into a livestream for a chance to win a few cards, too! Sub wheel continues! A huge thank you to those who subbed during September! The numbers weren't as high as I'd like to have seen for a good sub wheel competition, so, we're rolling those names right on into October! At the end of the month we'll spin the wheel and give away something awesome as a thanks for showing your support. Every sub, re-sub and gift sub gets you an entry on the wheel! The more you gift, the more entries you get! As a subscriber, you also gain the ability to summon the amazing power of Mr. Cat as a Wizard!  Chat commands are available for use in the Twitch chat!
Did you know? These commands actually work in Discord as well... apparently. Though you basically don't need them there. Go ahead and play around with Nightbot, just don't overdo it. The plan is to setup Nightbot to only work in specific channels designated for it. Don't forget to check out the entertainment channels for Discord mini games! Suggestions welcome via #suggestion-box channel! Looking forward to an awesome month of gaming, pulling sweet cards and getting spooky!

But Why?Because I must. That's why! I acquired an old laptop; the HP Mini 5103. A fun little netbook style laptop dated 2010. By today's standards, that's ancient!
 Pay no attention to how I've connected this very thin strip of PCB to the case wall... Pictured above is the finer details of the power button and the very flimsy little ribbon that connects it to the main board. The two thin cables going up behind the power strip PCB are the antennas for the WIFI receiver. They are mounted up near the top of the case to avoid blockage by cables and other components. I've run the power connector up to the section of the case that would normally contain the PSU. I will be using the case for a no-longer-functioning PSU I have laying about, to house the laptop's 19V power adaptor. Then I can plug the main power cable into the back of the case in the same fashion as a standard desktop PC! I've ordered a 90 degree-angle F to M VGA adapter to attach to the board's VGA plug, this will allow the longer F to M VGA cable to clear the walls of the case and be mounted behind the IO shield. Then I can plug a monitor in just as I would for a desktop system. I will run cables from the audio parts to the front of the case as well as USB extenders. I have a USB splitter that will expand one of the laptop board's USBs to 4 ports, giving a few additional USB connections. As for keyboard and mouse, I have a Logitech 2 in 1 wireless mouse and keyboard set. I simply dedicate one of the onboard USBs for the receiver. I am going to mount the laptop's hard drive (eventually to be upgraded to something a little more modern/larger capacity) in the appropriate bays within the case via a SATA combo extender cable like the one pictured below.
