As a trained musician I do this too. But it also means the “skill” spills over into other situations. If I’m in a restaurant, instead of being able to ignore the hum of background conversations, I will hear (and subconsciosly bounce around focsing on) every side conversation.

It makes listening to things VERY hard

How has some anon group not manahed to hack / leak them yet?

Turn it into a drinking game with your cooler family members…like, “Every time uncle dan says something racist, take a drink”

When the only difference in difficulty is either by adding more waves of enemies, or giving bosses a bajillion hitpoints.

If I already learned all the game mechanics, and the only scaling is having to repeat them a lot more, that’s poor design.

I dont mean this as much for adjustable difficulty, like easy vs hard mode, but rather in game progression…

I had looked into Kobo, but ultimately Boox won out. Zero proprietary ecosystem, so I can use Calibre to manage everything.

I need to do a bit more work, but totally worth it to be completely DRM free

Boox is the best. Stock software, NO DRM. Downside is they are more expensive upfront

Additional fun fact about nipples:

In mammals, a species’ typical litter size is one less than their normal number of nipples.

You are FAR better off buying a used gaming rig than a mini PC…

Those boxes have heat issues, are not at all user-servicable, and really are only designed as a web browser box.

Great for media players / HTPCs, attrpcious for trying to game on.

Buy a 5 year old gaming system

Hahahahah. “Upgrade.”

Thats why I have a resin printer for my minis

As an aside, how hard would it be to extract the games 3d assets and make my own STLs of the characters to print?

Yeah…a genuine diamond in the rough of mediocre major titles.

Time to set up a new dedicated server / world.

So, as I understand it, e-ink screens are all made by the same company and sold to the various ereader companies. As such, they are basically comparable. At least this was the case two years ago when I was looking into it.

Yeah…I did a lot a research before landing on Boox, and it 100% is the best. Pricey tho.

If its earwax, use hydrogen peroxide on a small swab or wipe. Itll take it right off.

For other gunk: vinegar, dawn soap, lemon juice (depending on what the cause is)

Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.

For now.

Best keyboard I ever had was a Motorola Q. The phone itself was mediocre, but great keyboard.

Thank you for this! I’ve got some homework to do!

Thank you!
