If you could do that one, it would be awesome - I'm interested only in the English audio track (I could provide FFmpeg command to extract just that).
Since neither of the versions correspond to the length that I have, I wonder what is the version that I have...
EDIT: I'm sorry, but due to new information from @mantrid, if I could, @lelio, I would pick number 12, as I would surely have extended edition, but it is PAL which likely runs 25fps and thus a bit faster - this is probably why I have shorter runtime. I'm sorry for inconvenience.

Pavouk106 Link ParentThank you for your offer. I will likely pick one of the @lelio ones, as it seems some of those are (by the size) real Blu ray rips.

Yes, this is the movie. I'd like to have original files though, I'm not interested in any re-encodings.

Pretty much the title.
I love the movie, I watched when I was a kid from a VHS tape with really bad Czech dubbing, but I loved the trucks and how truckers fought against corrupt sheriff. I don't have the VHS anymore (not even means to play it), but I got DVD with Czech and English dubbing. Sadly the Czech dubbing isn't that great in this version and I watched English original.
Not long ago I managed to record terrestrial broadcast of the movie in 1080p with the same Czech dubbing AND in full version (there is a scene where trucker shows his ass on the camera), sadly this version doesn't have original English dubbing.
I'm looking for someone who would have the original (this is a must) DVD or Blu ray of the full uncensored version of the movie with original English dubbing - it should be 107 minutes long (1:47 hours), NOT 104 minutes.
If there somehow happens to be someone who has this movie and is able to rip it to their computer, could you please leave a comment here?
And because I don't really believe I will find somebody, let's discuss the movie itself in the meantime. Have you seen it? What is your take on it? Do you play American Truck Simulator with Rubber Duck's truck modded in as I do?

It may be 30 years from now, but it will come. I'm not even going into other storefronts...
The best one would be GOG where you can download installers and keep your games that way.
And then there are CDs and DVDs some of which I still have.
But even if I stopped vuying games today, I have games to.play for next ten years, probably even more.
It's like movies for me - not many new ones are that good that I want to watch/play them, I'd rather watch/play something older that still has the quality - Godfather, Terninator 2, Home Alone, Abyss, Hunt for Red October, Spencer&Hill movies, Bond movies... Or Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 1&2, Baldur's Gate 1&2, Age of Empires 2... There are many great games from the past that I can easily play todays and enjoy them more than many modern titles.
There are also modern ones that are great - Dune, Ford vs. Ferrari, Hail Mary... Or Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk, ...

I never saw a game like this and I loved exploring the universe and getting to know more and more about and putting the pieces together. And I was surprised about what happened 22 minures in and it took me a few loops to understand that. You are in for a great ride with this one!

Outer Wilds is whole another story though. It is something that wasn't here before, an unprecedented entry into the gaming world. I loved playing it!

It was kinda pain to get it running, as I want 30fps, 9W TDP limit and at least some graphics. I ended up in medium graphics and I live with say 25-30 fps with some drops here and there. But the game has to be played with at least medium graphics, low looks just straight bad because it lacks a lot of lightning and shadows. Enought technicalities...
The game is kinda Fallout-ish and in sci-fi/space theme. I went with intelligence and perception and I plan on playing speech and lockpick/hack oriented character which seems like a good choice so far, as there are many locked cintainers and many many speech related options.
The game plays a but like say Fallout 3 - first person, many NPCs, many stories, many conversations, many weapons and consumables and modifying/tinkering with your weapons and armor. The story is there, how good it is, I don't remember. Quests are plentiful, well made, some of them may have different outcomes based on your actions or which side you pick.
Overall it is a good FPS/RPG game set in sci-fi world with many options for the player on how to play. And it looks good on medium graphics settings and I imagine it would be stunning even after all the years on ultra. This game isn't all about graphucs though, it scratches that RPG stitch of mine.

I would also emulate on something lower power than Steam Deck, not only because of wattage, but also because of size. It's easier to have PS Vita in your pocket than Steam Deck.
I just mentioned those official hardware to say that I have history with handhelds. I never justified to myself buying dedicated retro/emulator machine like Odin - it's simply too much money for emulating old games. And I could play those games on other hardware I already have. Because I never had anything like Odin, I'd like to have a look at it. But as I said - if there is someone else who would really actively use it, then I'd prefer that person to have it.

Imagine Earth is something I have looked at in the past and Lost Words: Beyond the Page seems to be the game I would really like to play.
Weirdest or craziest game I have played? I don't remember the name, but I will describe a bit. It was RTS around/before year 2000. It was cartoonish-like, not aiminb to look real or detailed too much. It was played on a grid map (non-isometric, just pure square grid), the main resource looked like salad and was collected with harvestors/combines. There was another reaource like oil or something. There was map editor included. And now for the best part - you could play the game, at the start of the mission, you saved the game and then quit. Then open map.editor, load your save, add bunch of your units into enemy base and save. After reloading your save in the game, you had no problem winning. Rinse and repeat!

I never had anything like what you have and I feel tempted to jump on the occassion. The thing is I will not use it THAT much and I don't want to pick it up if there is someone better suited for your giveaway - someone who will really use the thing everyday.
If nobody takes your offer in some reasonable amount of time and you are ok with me not playing really actively on it and getting it more or less to see what it is and how it works and playing on it once in a year, maybe send me a PM? I'm your neighbour - Czech Republic. We could figure out how to send it later.
Thinking about it, my kids may play on it or one of my friends, who is actively playing on his PSP these days, may like it (he doesn't have a big console or suitable PC to.play games).
Anyway - if there is anybody better suited for it, give it to them.

You have to flush the nozzle using higher temperature and PLA, this will get rid of the ABS and will fill the nozzle with PLA getting you ready to print with PLA.

That would probably be the culprit. Well then, @lelio it would be number 12, not 10.
