Since I was too dumb to do the Kickstarter, Amazon is still showing an October release date on my pre-order.

Finished it last night, took a little longer because of being so tired in bed and not reading as much. I liked it. Wasn’t the best and maybe a little long for everything going on then very quickly wrapped up. The narration part was the best, and the side references to rest of the Cosmere...

I'll take it apart and see about cleaning those out. I mean WASD are only pushed 1,000,000 times every round of one of these. Must be somewhere in the switch b/c the physical key doesn't stick. Wish I could recreate it in Notepad hah.

Just found my Amazon order and looks like it was from 2021 with Gateron Browns.

I think that I asked this a couple of years ago, but it has come back around and is irritating the hell out of me. Periodically my keyboard just won't accept inputs while playing and I can't figure out why. It is a Keychron K2 that is USB and not Wireless mode. I'll be moving around on the...

Bought another half beef this year and decided to upgrade our small chest freezer to a larger upright for easier access to the meat. The chest was only 5.0 cu ft or so and barely fit last year’s cow along with a couple of random things. Best Buy had an Insignia 17 cu ft for $700 and with Total...

I've come to a point in life where "good enough" is just fine. Like, all the stuff Mist mentions is probably true. But these are small dragons that I cannot chase and whether the Samsung has 10-bit color at whatever refresh vs. the Alienware is totally beyond my capacity for appreciating. Or the...

Ugh, that sucks. Really enjoyed the first one. How ridiculous.

Rabbit Proof Fence was the only other Australian film I was familiar with. And that is really only because of Peter Gabriel doing the soundtrack. Haven’t watched that since it came out. Maybe we need to do an Australian week at the house.

We went to the Sunday 6:15 show and the theater was sold out. It was just one of the side smaller screens though so not like a packed IMAX. Was still surprised though. I wish it was doing better also but not sure it really impacts much. There’s gotta be a 0% chance Part 2 doesn’t get made and...

I actually had the Alienware delivered yesterday b/c I'm too impulsive. Haven't noticed the glare thing in my room set up being a distraction. I don't think those things are really a major concern of mine at the moment. My main concern was the firmware version and the lack of user...

I ranked Helicopter and Arrow Rain as equally worthless but was willing to give arrow rain a chance. Does it upgrade with Explosive Arrow? At least the helicopter has a longer telegraph so you can kite enemies in to the damage zone. Otherwise it is a graphical mess seeing it fly over and does...

Someone somewhere mentioned it but I have no idea why they keep trying to force this Kish chick in to everything. She’s the definition of mediocre and they just throw show after show and host gig after gig to her. I would really have liked the replacement to be not a dedicated chef/food person...

I probably didn’t explain that correctly, and even explained, it then may not be worth it. What I was trying to say is that rather than immediately taking a companion I’ll take a level or two to quickly get to explosive arrow. That seemed more smooth that immediately getting three companions and...

Yeah, I did like the multi character aspect. HoT has multiple character classes but not multiple per run. In Zombie I've been mostly avoiding recruiting additional characters until my primary is leveled up a bit and the upgrade options remain limited. I don't have everyone upgraded and unlocked...

Has there even been a DotA mod for this genre yet? Didn't even think about that and since the Battle Chess thing was so hot I'm surprised it hasn't exploded in all those other companies yet. Still think HoT is my favorite of this "new batch." Army of Ruin I'm trying to get in to but it just...

Alienware has G-Sync since I’ve got a 3080 but it is $133 more. Alienware AW3423DW Curved Gaming Monitor 34.18 inch Quantom Dot-OLED 1800R Display, 3440x1440 Pixels at 175Hz, True 0.1ms Gray-to-Gray, 1M:1 Contrast Ratio, 1.07 Billions Colors - Lunar Light https://a.co/d/8GNXPGt wtf how do I...

I turned on my personal desktop last night for the first time in months since work has been so busy. My work setup is an Asus ultra wide and sitting at my gaming PC on a regular 27” 1440p was annoying as heck. Definitely looking at picking up a second UW for “business.” edit: lol Amazon Prime...

Wow, I might try to justify that if the 65" was as deep a cut.

Interesting. The downstairs one is in the walk in basement space under house. So super easy. Upstairs unit in the attic is probably a gigantic PITA if I ever had to do it myself. Yeah I’ll think about that. The usually check it with the yearly maintenance, but obviously did a crap job this last...

Got my generator installed yesterday. Ended up only with about an hour and a half outage for them to cut in the ATS. Whole thing went smooth and I was pretty impressed with their crew. Very friendly, willing to talk everything through and explain stuff. Will probably switch over all my...

I don’t remember that creeping in to Tiger Woods 2023 or whatever it is called now. It just had the worst menu system and UX I’ve about ever seen.

Hol up! Mike Ross has a DotA chair?

Just pulled it out of the mail!

Yeah depending on project and workflow I keep most of my stuff on shelf or under shelf in a case or cheap / repurposed bag out of the way. Usually that means having out 2x Ridgid Drills and 1x Impact. That way one can be drilling and pilot holes and one can be driver and I don’t have to switch...

My stepdad uses this that I liked quite a bit after swearing away regular pegboard. The hangers lock in nicely and it offers much more support and rigidity than the normal brown stuff. French cleats are big these days and while they don’t look bad, they’re “starting to” feel very trendy and...

Even my naive completely passive head in the sand wife said “It is Snow White not Mud Brown. I was mostly okay with Little Mermaid but can’t they leave stuff alone?” Was pretty jarring since she’s very hands off anything political or controversial and avoids most topics. Guess coming for her...

I like the low key nature of Halls compared with the, say, spam fest effect seizure of Soulstone. It does feel very long going back to the 25-30m stages that tend to drag for the first 15m. But after a couple hours and some damage upgrades then it waves and enemy density are less annoying. Then...

I've enjoyed it the past couple of nights also. Steam says 7.5 hours so far and I've been mostly goofing off. Just unlocked the Exterminator. Still haven't focused on any real builds, just messing with things here and there and can clear 1st zone pretty regularly.

That's really awesome. I'm surprised at the price point, not that it is "cheap" but I was totally expecting to be blown away. $799 is shockingly low to me for some reason. Maybe it is just being jaded at products.

But they did a collab with Forged in Fire. That’s peak relevancy!

Years ago, maybe 16-17 now, I read this book. Unfortunately I remember almost none of it. At the time it was just a whole bunch of good information but I remember it being very dry. Especially for 1200 pages. It is on a shelf somewhere at home. May be worth revisiting again. Almost positive it...

lol freaking hotel blocks fmovies that's hilarious. Now I have to find somewhere else, not blocked, to stream movies all week while working.

3/4" plywood is going to sag at 90" with out a more substantial frame / internal whereas that door will probably sit flat forever with four 1x3s drilled in to the edges. I don't know what he wants to get in to yet, but yeah. If he wants to build a whole frame out of 1x3s. I was driving or just...

What are you going to sit on it? Not that it is a huge pain in the ass but you may get away with just covering it with some decent 1/4” ply or 1/2” and not bother filling in the panels. Maybe, guess I’d have to decide how lazy I was being. Seems like a great idea though. My guess is those 100...

Sorry to hear mine isn't working out for you. I need to put something together again for my personal PC, just working on my business laptop 24/7 these days. Does that GC7 have the stuff that @Mist was raving about? The Super X-Fi? Can't remember exactly but remember the conversation about how...

This is a pretty incredible blog you got going. I like following along and reading the updates, and remembering why I stopped using my NUC with Kodi. There was a time when fiddling with all this was fun, maybe that’s why it is fun getting to read about someone else doing it. The thread title...

Yeah I picked them up on eBay. After looking around I didn’t see any mention of rights to matching numbers for future books, so decided to just go ahead and grab these. It would be great if another publisher like SubPress worked with him and we got the whole series and the ability to do matched...
