    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    Which game is that? I’ve kind of paused Soulstone and Nordic until release or major content patches and picked back up Rogue Genesis to do the new stuff there.

    I bought a regular stand rather than arm for the laptop. The reason I had to remove my Ergotron to begin with was the back of m desk doesn’t have a deep enough lip to clamp the standard desk mount on so I’ve got back to regular stands. The stand on the feet of the UW was nice enough that it...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I’ve put a lot more time in to Nordic Ashes and am still enjoying it. The harder difficulties make you really think about your upgrades and how many skill points to spend rerolling so you get the most beneficial stat increases. The Ascension shrine tree upgrade really helps too in getting that...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Is that just a standard laptop stand “thing?” I may like that for my office if only to elevate the laptop a bit so the screen is more level with my ultra wide and I’m not constantly shifting up and down moving between screens.

    That desk is on my bucket list to make one day when my abilities increase by infinity times. My grandfather had a very similar one and I can remember sitting at it as a kid playing with the small drawers, organizing letters in the slots, folding the desk down. That’s cool stuff. Very jealous...

    I’m surprised with your opinion on Generac. My view comes from the commercial side though. I’ve used them at probably 400 Public Safety RF sites in varying sizes, capacities, and fuel sources and haven’t had any more issues. No client has suggested we swap vendors but we also have a somewhat...

    So $4,800 all in or so? I was budgeting for one this year and based off both parents and a few neighbors going with Generac and an ATS it seemed like $10k would be my ballpark.

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I’ve been playing during some downtime today and yesterday. The guy who does Soulstone Survivor videos also does this game so thought I’d try it. Pretty fun so far. Can’t speak to the development pace or anything since it has only been two days and I know zero about the history. Each character...

    I haven't even done anything productive lately except work my new job and travel. Taken me over a month to even set up the new jointer and just today felt motivated to set up the dust collection. The right branch feeds the jointer, center the floor sweep, and left is utility. It'll mostly live...

    I was waiting for the catch thinking… yeah that is about every day ending in Y. But you’re right, it is like ASMR or those videos of people cutting hedges.

    Almost impulse bit on that but held off last night. I’d like to get a new work monitor for the new tax year but 48” just seems so huge. My desk is only 23.5” deep.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    May have to stealth buy a Series X and load this up to surprise the Wife since she loves this stuff. I swear if the TV isn't on the Zoo show it is on TNT that plays nothing but Harry Potter movies. Of course that is when it isn't on Blippi, Bluey, or Minecraft for the kid.

    That and not being able to sneeze without the whole town going aggro. Maybe that was toned down in a patch but by the time I finished it was irritating me enough to not want to play.

    I need to snap some new pictures of our German. She's 6 months old now and about 45 lbs. Sweet and smart as can be. Took her on a road trip to visit family and she pretty much slept in the cab of the truck or kept our son entertained in his booster seat. 7 hours, we pulled over a couple times...

    The Crow

    For sure I am not thinking of a different song in this context, but yes you may be correct that it may be a different song that led me to "Out Comes the Evil." Possible that it was the Strange Days soundtrack since that was 1995 and the closest to The Crow. *Edit: It was Strange Days b/c track...

    The Crow

    This is where I first learned the whole Jesus joke about walking in to an Inn and handing the innkeeper 3 spikes and asking "put me up for the night?" Which quickly turned in to a whole "Why can't Jesus eat M&Ms?" joke for us. For some reason I thought Lords of Acid was on this soundtrack, at...

    The Salton Sea (2002)

    Same here. My main memory of this is it being very binary within our social circle. People either really liked it or hated it. Sort of like The Thin Red Line and Very Bad Things.

    Soulstone Survivors

    Ice Vortex and Frozen Warhammer apparently scale like mofos or something. This was an Overlord 4 run. Had Frost Bolt for 1 level I think then replaced it with Blizzard. With the way the build works that extra 82 damage per Slow or Paralysis translates in to 82 * 1,500 along with all the other...

    Soulstone Survivors

    Finally got around to trying out Bumble at Curse 34. Used an Ice Elementalist build that was on Reddit because I'm tired of the Doom stuff and wanted to see how another build worked. This pretty much trivialized the whole thing.

    Warhammer 40k

    This sums up my last week and starting my first 40k universe novel with Horus Heresy. Which is fine, Malazan is my favorite fantasy series so getting dropped in the middle of something that is missing backstory and details is just par for the course. Without starting too much of an argument...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    We were on the road last week for an early Christmas at the folks and Christmastime came on XM which kicked off a big nostalgia trip of when we’d buy the new Very Special Christmas and go through all the strange songs. There were some real gems, real interesting ones, and real terrible ones!

    The Peripheral

    There's nothing in the show or the book to suggest that they can make a stub of a stub. My understanding of the logic they established is that their ability to open a stub only stretches back to within their timeline. For instance: they can't open a stub in 2020, make a small change, then open...

    The existing sub panel in the garage/workshop is full and has 1 position for the 230 that runs the table saw, and 4 positions for 120 / 20A that runs the outlets in the shop as well as electrical to the bonus room above the single car garage/shop. The existing 230 is on the “west” side of the...

    The Amazing Race

    Yeah but it sure was funny seeing people get eliminated at the airport! The pre purchased tickets took out a lot of the drama. Taking a risk on a close connection or just being dumb. And, you know, every new leg showing 3am travel agent stops. Some of those were pretty funny too though. But it...

    The Amazing Race

    We’ve enjoyed this season. Still don’t like all the changes 100% but they are working on getting it back to pre-COVID. The stagger start and no flight shenanigans sucks but it makes sense. Some of the original episodes spent half the show just showing them struggle with travel. But cutting it...

    Because of the drawer fronts and the variation in the grain running across them, especially in some of the tighter ones, the plywood edging doesn't stand out as much. They do a good job complimenting each other and it not being so distracting, to me, versus doing a full face frame. Looks as if...

    That’s really cool! Aligning all those drawers and drawer fronts sound like a nightmare. Did you use slides or just wood runners for them?

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    There was nudity for sure, but the only violence was how aggressively mundane the whole movie was. Like being beaten over the head with a pool noodle. It was just not great. The 5.1 rating on IMDB is almost perfect. It shares a lot of qualities with other movies that hover around the 5 - 6...
