You may find that a different mouse will work better. For instance, I have an MX Master 3 that won’t register movement at all on my couch. Meanwhile a cheap little $15 mouse reads just fine.
Unrelated, I miss my MX Master 2. The wheel was so much better.
Hang on, that’s really cheap for S&M. Or so I’m told. By other people.
Not just movies. I recently noticed that a lot of games are getting remasters for a quick buck. I intended to play the whole Atelier Ryza series after I got the first one pretty cheap, but they delisted the original series (2019, 2020, and 2023) to sell the remaster at a higher price. I don’t know how old I want something to be before it’s redone, but it’s got to be longer than that.
He literally (publicly) moaned about not getting enough time at home not that long ago.
I mean, in the right context, for the right condition… Yeah, you’re right.
Are you sure they’re not just giant stickers of genitals?
God, no. But I’ve been much worse.
It’s fine in specific institutional contexts, like academia or employment where training is provided. Basic knowledge would be what’s covered in a 101 class, apprenticeship, or orientation.
Out in the world? People will yell at you for not knowing something, and the something they know is wrong. Don’t bother with those people more than is required. You can’t even expect that everyone makes it out of high school with the same information.
BOston BAked beans.
Things not going well with Kash’s girlfriend?
I’m shocked. I thought they’d release him with a complimentary handjob.
Been toying with an idea for a while. Cosmic horror where the only way to win is to leave almost immediately. You play as a group of four engineers sent to repair comms at an Antarctic research base. The goal is you arrive, see shit’s fucked, and head back to the boat immediately.
If you choose not to, you assign one weapon/tool to each party member. Wrench, welding torch, ice pickaxe, etc. The trick is that the tools determine which characters die, so even if you start over and change the assignments, whoever has the wrench dies at the same time, every time. And I want there to be “wrenchable” objects after that story point that you can’t interact with.
In addition, I want Bloodborne style sanity points that you get for interacting with the world, and the more you have, the worse things get for you. Essentially, I want to punish people who play games the way I do and explore every single crack.
Oh, and I want the monster at the end to be surrounded by invisible eyes that become visible as its head passes through them, like it’s emitting bubbles in reverse.
Edit: Forgot to mention that you can go back to the boat AT ANY TIME. The endings just get worse for you (and eventually, the world).
Lots of things, but I think my strawberry shortcake soap is the last thing I made that I was truly proud of.
Y’all seen the new Bears Who Love Shitting commercial where they tell you to inspect your kid’s asshole for traces of inferior toilet paper?
Interesting. I was thinking of having iMessage/Messages, but I forgot most of the world uses Whatsapp to text, anyway, so that function does exist.
As far as calls go, I’m surprised by how unappealing the idea was to me. The amount of spam calls I get would probably kill my relationship with computers, honestly. For normal calls, I’d definitely want a headset of some kind rather than built-in mic and speakers, though I suppose a purpose-built laptop would include better audio equipment.
Honestly, I was around for that, so I’m a bit shocked by all the people saying current smartphones are already too big.
How would you feel about a laptop with call and text capability out of the box?
Oh, no, I mean full shoebox volume. Like 20lbs of battery with a phone glued to the smallest side.
My wife once walked in and asked why I don’t rest it on the seat. I need that to not be a habit.
