We are but I’m gonna have my phone on vibrate cuz I have a shred of self awareness
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 3 days ago:
I mean the DS was pretty radical at the time.
I feel like Nintendo does a huge innovation, then an iteration or two(or a bunch of little changes), then back to a big change. Wii/WiiU, GB/GBA, DS/3DS, switch/2

Ah the link up there, The Room

Oh man you’re in for a great time.
See if there’s a live showing of it near you. It’s kinda like Rocky Horror Picture Show? Cult classic, lots of audience interaction when shown live. It’s earnestly bad but that’s what makes it good

Totally fair!

Surely that attachment is significantly stronger than the sidewall. Even if you tried I think you’d just split the sides along the spiral impression and couldn’t launch the top

They’re self rising Pillsbury biscuits (or similar). Not what Americans call cookies that Brits call biscuits
- Comment on Not enough people buying Premium, eh? 3 weeks ago:
I totally get that, I have a few suggestions since I’ve been in the same situation for years and have recently improved it.
Our Yamaha stereo takes many HDMI inputs, and has a single TV output, so the TV never needs to change inputs. It’s quite easy and quick on the Yamaha.
I bought a Raspberry Pi 500 for ~$100 US and am loving it. I think it could use a speed upgrade (I hear the SD card will do it). Of course it’s mouse and keyboard, but we only use it for Netflix, YouTube, etc, so it was easy to make shortcuts and get a small/nice living room keyboard/mouse combo.
It’s led to zero ads, and the household discussion was like “would you trade some ease of use to not see this stupid ad?” And we both agreed that it’s worth it. So far it’s been really nice.
- Comment on Is there any (single player playable) game under $10 or equivalent which has made you point any go "ha" or given you an equivalent feeling because it was that enjoyable for every moment you played it? 5 weeks ago:
The second Ori game’s story is so good and absolutely had me and my wife bawling during it
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 5 weeks ago:
Wow, that’s very fast imo. Good for you!
Great randomizer out there for it. And it’s Archipelago compatible so you can mix it in with other randomizers alone or with friends, in case you want more!
- Comment on Slay the Spire 2 - Official Gameplay Trailer 5 weeks ago:
They also introduced Watcher late. No guarantee the 4 characters here are the only characters
- Comment on I feel so much better now that I also have a skill to show off on the internet 1 month ago:
Yeah, I guess the assumption it takes is that there aren’t larger topographic changes for the other legs between their points, and that the legs are equal length. But I like it, it’s a fun one I’m trying next time

Your title is hilarious
- Comment on Petrichor 1 month ago:
Absolutely, if you’re serious about sensory science!
At the large craft brewery I worked in we trained on like… ~40 attributes? Weekly usually, with taste panel and impromptu trainings most every day.
- Comment on Petrichor 1 month ago:
Yup! I know, I was an expert taster at a large brewery :)
It was fun! And a little bit ruined some beer for me.
- Comment on Petrichor 1 month ago:
It’s also an off flavor that tasters train for in beer, from water inclusion. It’s not good for beer but I don’t mind the smell at all
Very beet-flavored to me
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 2 months ago:
Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.
It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.
They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.
Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.

I feel the same, I’ve had a bunch of pixels since the 2
I’m going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish

Wanna explain it for my friend who doesn’t get it?
- Comment on My wacky indie game has reached 6000 wishlists, I made this meme to explain how it feels 2 months ago:
Hey, I’m one of those wishlisters!
I’m excited to see it. Your inspiration games are great (anything that says similar to Outer Wilds is going on the wishlist, basically), and I’m looking forward to your narrative. I haven’t played the demo yet and was going to go in blind.
Cheers man, hope it is okay for your work life balance soon enough.

It’s somehow not on the list? That’s actually unbelievable
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 3 months ago:
Yeah, a truck would make me feel better. It’s definitely a risk to move it myself uninsured. For comparison, looks like post tax prices delivered of ~14-18% more in Denmark than the US where we are.
That’s a fair bit, but I’m not sure we’re in the market to try this hard to save a few hundred dollars in such a massive move. I lean towards selling, especially once we packed a big suitcase and it went VERY quick with stuff we love lol
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 3 months ago:
Very very little to move. Just what we can carry onto planes basically. Hoping to stay in a spot for many years, but you never know. The packaging is a good idea, I should price compare properly
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 3 months ago:
Oh that’s a great call. I’ll have to look and find the balance here between ship and buy.
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 3 months ago:
Great suggestion, I think making them ready to play might be the move
- Comment on (not) shipping gaming PCs 3 months ago:
They’re not super old, we’ve got some pics and such we like obviously. Maybe ~100 gigs total of “important files” but it sounds nice to have “my computer” back when I arrive?
