What was "the incident" at your work place?
  • A coworker set the break room on fire by microwaving her lunch for 30 minutes instead of three. No idea how you forget your lunch is in the microwave, let alone for half an hour, but hey I got to go home early.

  • Day 30 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • You've got great taste in games Atticus! A lot of people had (valid) complaints about this game but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. The story was decent, the characters were enjoyable, and it felt like a proper Star Wars romp. Plus I'm a sucker for a good poncho and a cute droid buddy.

    Here's hoping Jedi Survivor gets a non-DRM release at some point, I'm not getting an EA account just so they can checksum my game every time I mouse over the icon.

  • Some study strategies for students
  • Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.

    Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman's terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.

  • Looking up words on digital dictionary slows me down, does it get better?
  • Yeah I miss the feel of real paper in my hands but I have hundreds of books in this little black box and I like to reread most of them so it's handy. Sometimes I'll dust off my Kindle if I'm planning on reading for more than a few hours: the matte screen is a lot easier on the eyes.

    That is a fun fact! I try to minimize the number of apps I have installed for that very reason, and the only things I have on my home screen are Moon+ Reader and my email, dialer, and texting apps.

  • What game are you currently playing?
  • Okay wait, how are Cyberpunk and Stardew both disappointments? If you'd mentioned Starfield I'd believe you but both those games are critically acclaimed and for good reason.

    For my part, I've been playing No Man's Sky and I just restarted Tears of the Kingdom. I might dig into my retro library and start up Golden Sun though, it's been a while and I'm due for a replay.

  • Looking up words on digital dictionary slows me down, does it get better?
  • The only thing I can think of that would be easier would be swapping to an e-reader/app with a built in dictionary function. I use Moon+ Reader myself, but I don't blame you if you want to stick to physical books.

  • Need to replace bathroom tub fixtures
  • Back when I had to swap out a mixer valve I had the worst time trying to get everything off until someone suggested soaking it all with some vinegar in a spray bottle. Everything came apart much easier after a few minutes!
