  • There’s too many words in this meme that’s making me dizzy from all your fancy science leechcraft, wizard.

    I reject your reality and substitute my own: the feather falls faster. It’s more streamlined than the bowling ball, and thus it slips through the vacuum much faster and does hit the ground and stay on the ground, I think. The ball will bounce at least once, maybe even three times. On each bounce, parts of it probably break off, which change the weight. Thankfully those broken pieces won’t hurt anyone because they’re sucked up by the vacuum. Thus, rendering your dungeon wizard spells ineffective against me.








  • For my PC I prefer headphones for the immersion. When on the Steam Deck, I use in ear buds. I have a handful of Apple ear pods I’ve amassed over the years that I’ll use when I’m trying to get some quick gaming in. If I get a chance to really sit down and game for an hour or more, I use my JBL Quantum TWS with the USB C receiver. Total immersion, excellent sound quality, noise canceling, and incredible latency. Battery life could always be better, but they’ll comfortably get me through a solid gaming session on the Deck.

    I don’t use the speakers on my Deck at all. I probably should play some games with it and see how I like it.









  • I’m researching getting into 3D printing. My spouse is sort of on board, because they think about the cool things they can do with it. We’d love to print some cool stuff to solve mini problems, but also for the reward of designing and building things ourselves.

    Congrats on your bike, that sounds like a really fun and cool project!

    I used to want a bike and loved the idea of one. Bikes, as an adult, is something I can’t get into. I wanted to get a sportbike when I was 19 or so, but around then I met my spouse and they told me about their dad’s accident on a bike. The dad was a Navy military person, super into safety. He wore full padded armor, helmet, the works. He was stopped at a light and behind a car. Then a car rear-ended him. He ended up being propelled over the car in front of him and landed in the intersection. Broke his leg, broke a few ribs, messed up his knee, and now he has continued pain he deals with. He wouldn’t be alive if he wasn’t wearing all the proper armor while biking. And then I see bikers on the road without helmets and wearing a tee shirt and jeans LOL. They’re playing a dangerous game. So unfortunately, bikes are now no longer for me!
