I wasn’t asking you, I was asking the glasses

This is the app which I use for the timer. You can have several timers saved at once which you can go back to.

It depends, for me it's 1 press and hold to open the timer, then 2 presses to navigate to the timer, than 1 more press to start it. So 4 total.

Making a new 5 min timer is 10 button pushes.

You don’t want it. He'll be a Martyr and then it’ll be worse.

He needs to be voted out, or forcibly removed, then taken out back by Americans. Otherwise you’ll get more.

You guys were rich enough to afford this? We were lucky if we could get a 10

I mean, consider this. The Pebble Time lasted 10 years… well more realistically 6, but I did use it for 10 years.

Compared with and Apple Watch which will be dead in like 2-3 years. The extra is worth it.

I would recommend waiting for a sale, but I got a black version ages ago for my original time, and it held up Amazingly and doesn’t pinch my arm hair. So it was worth the premium to get another.

I would recommend a time 2. I feel color screen is worth the extra.

I ordered in batch 4 January. My SO also ordered in Jan and hasn’t gotten hers yet too. But they’re coming

 

I also got a fossil watch band for it. So far loving it

Wait Wario Land wasn’t here already

 

If you want the classic Reddit experience you need to use old.reddit.com

 

The tool I used for it is called the Retrode2, a cartridge dumper which doubles as a 2 SNES and 2 Genesis controller hub.

With a bit of patience you can even run SNES carts on a Steam Deck https://mastodon.social/@16bitvirtual/116479936082268893

Is it cheap? Nope

Is it sensible? Absolutely not,

Was it fun? 100%

 

The only tell is a slight bump on the seam line of the back. It’s 0.1mm layer heights and 0.6mm thick.

Printed in TPU, I was looking for a solution like this for a future project and wanted to share it with someone.

 

Now we aren't talking magical improvements. But before the game ran at about 75% (20-25fps), now its more 95-100% (28-30fps). Turn off the frame charts and you wouldn't even notice.

 

So I wanted a bag which glows. This lead me down a weird rabbit hole that ended up with 3D printing TPU on top of cloth with a hole cut out of it.

The process was fun and it came close to the original design. Though I would made a lot of changes if I was to make this again.

I also made a TPU foam insert for the strap. Worked well.

Edit: more photos of the bag

 

This is PETG, one was left out in about 40% humidity the other was dried to about 20%

 

Ran across this in a discussion about Nintendo's Virtual Game Cards and Key Cards.

For myself it's

Physical > Perpetual Digital (GOG) > Key Cards (Switch 2) > DRM Digital (Steam/PS3/Xbox 360) > Account DRM Digital (PS4/Switch/Xbox One) > System Locked Digital (3DS/Wii U) > GamePass > Streaming Games (Amazon Luna/Stadia)

For some context.

While Key Cards are digital they are not tied to hardware which means so long as the servers are still running the game can be downloaded and played... presuming no additional authentication is required.

DRM Digital is bellow that since services like Epic Games, and Steam still require re-authentication from time to time. Though Steam is getting better thanks to the Steam Deck.

GamePass is low because it is the same as Game Rental. You don't own the game. Good to try never to own.

On that note, physical games with download codes inside don't even get a place on my list. Got tricked into buying Patapon 2 this way and I always read the games fine print ever since.

 

Went to Wonderland yesterday and got this fantastic sunset shot of Leviathan. Wanted to share.

 

With all secret shells, hearts containers and 0 deaths. Was a fun experience but a challenge I will not do again.

Was intending on playing links awakening again. But I happened to do so since I just got a switch lite and was trying out some games on it. Then I got sucked back in.

Such a classic game
