Pikachimic?

Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.

…And the King did decree for him to stand atop the seaside cliff, upon the occurrence of any stormy eve, to forewarn the vessels of the kingdom: beware, for the shoals are close at hand." - Chapter 7, The Legend of Lord Glowcrotch

Hmmm. One of his strings stops at the nut and another completely misses the posts, but I’m guessing that’s because there are only two tuning pegs for four strings? I’m guessing someone pranked him by giving him that instrument? Must be a pain to tune that.

Yep, precisely why I don’t play kernel anticheat games.

Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don’t have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don’t lose sleep over that decision.

I use both, they are two separate words, not one word with multiple spellings.

Not sure why people are changing it. Yes, language evolves, but maybe we could all focus on evolving it in areas that actually need evolution?

“Let me figure out which of the seven fingers on this hand I shall place this ring on… just a moment.”

I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it’s basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I’m primarily a M&K guy.

Burgers and orange juice, I can’t think of a more iconic combination.

Gandalf: “Flies, you fools!”

Fellowship: Visibly confused due to lack of subject-verb agreement

Gandalf: “No, you idiots! I mean, you’re literally flies! Why the hell are you walking all the way to Mordor?”

“And Ebenezer, be especially fearful of the Ghost of Metal Album Covers Past. He likes to lightning-punch people directly in the scrotum. Merry Christmas.”

If you have to deal frequently with toilets with flush sensors at your office (or really any public restroom), you’ve probably been grossed out by them flushing (and spraying water at you) before you’re ready.

As an adult, I learned that handle-adjacent sensors can be dealt with by hanging TP over them, and won’t flush until you remove it as you’re leaving the stall. Wall sensors (like one infamous office toilet I deal with) can be handled with a post it note placed over the sensor; I keep some at the office just for this purpose. In an emergency, sometimes spit-dabbing a piece of TP can stick it to the wall over the sensor, but this isn’t as reliable.

Just get into these habits when you use sensor toilets, and you’ll never have to worry about disgusting flush spray from prematurely flushing public toilets ever again.

Approaching 50 as well. Definitely need to get more active, I just have some physical issues from old injuries and conditions. I know I can find something to increase my activity though. Biking, swimming, something out there is doable.

Ah, yes, just an average Tuesday in Florida.

I love mine so much that I didn’t bother replacing my old laptop after it died, I just bought a dock, pulled an old Bluetooth mouse and keyboard out of storage, and the Deck is my daily driver now.

I have fantastic experiences playing mine. I recently upgraded to the OLED and gave the old LCD to a friend, and now he’s addicted to PC gaming as well. We play stuff every weekend, opening Steam voice calls is built right into the UI and it’s a fantastic experience. If you are thinking about getting into gaming, or gifting one to a gamer, I can’t recommend it enough.

I trained in Tang Soo Do for almost 5 years in my 30s, before I hurt myself (an injury not related to martial arts training). I’ve been wanting to get back into it in the years since, but haven’t been able to for various reasons.

I really enjoyed the training. I kept in good shape, and became very close with the people in my school… I still talk to them occasionally today despite having moved out of the area some years back. I enjoyed practicing the various techniques, pushing myself to my limits… I would highly recommend structured martial arts training to anyone.

That being said: martial arts are a LAST defense… they are NOT the go-to defense.

If you’re attacked, especially by multiple assailants, RUNNING is what you’re looking to do. Your self-defense skills are primarily there to CREATE an opportunity to flee, if you don’t have one immediately available.

Life is not a 1960’s kung-fu movie, and you risk a lot by trying to stand your ground when you don’t have to, so fight is rarely the correct answer when presented with a fight-or-flight scenario. It’s better to not be in that mindset.

Ah yes, I know that when I invite my horse friends to a beach party, I frequently forget to bring the magical pachinko machine full of spaghetti… but not this guy, he’s a pro.

Exactly. It’s not like you’d be playing a ton of stuff on the Deck at 1200p if you had this screen… but it’d be nice to have the option for older games that don’t need a ton of power at that resolution. And this screen barely costs more than the 800p LCD replacement screen.
