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…
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.”
I keep one of those little adapters…dont need a whole cable.
This was a Dilbert joke from likt 1999
Well, he really knocked 'em down that day
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?

My closest grocery store is more than two miles away (3.2km). I’m not walking that carrying several bags of groceries. I certainly don’t have time to go to the store more than once a week or so.
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.
Oddly enough, I’ve had better luck with temu than with aliexpress.
In general they have a lot of the same products, but AE has a much larger selection. However, the AE interface is pure garbage. If you apply a price sort, everything just dissapears. Trying to narrow a search means looking through pages of items, most of which aren’t related to what I seached for. Temu, at least, has a preety good search function, filters, and sorts. Plus temu doesnt have the annoying minimum for free shipping.
I’m not a shill for temu. They are a shitty company with low quality chinese crap. But if all I need is low quality chinese crap, it’s actually the most effective marketplace I’ve found to get it.
