the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

So, we told our therapist about being agender today. It went well. Don't think we're ready to bring up plurality yet though.

If anyone does want to play against us, in those or any other games in the pack, feel free to ask. I think that could be fun.

I imagine this is many people's first experience with them, since they're primarily popular in Japan and environs. It's certainly our first time playing any of them, and we've found we enjoy all three. We're actually, surprisingly enough, *good* at hanafuda, at least good enough to reliably beat the best AI clubhouse games offers. We haven't played against another sapient being yet. And we're not any good at shogi or riichi mahjong, but they're enjoyable enough to play.
-R

I wonder if the popularity of Nintendo's new Clubhouse Games is going to lead to a surge in popularity of games like shogi, hanafuda, and riichi mahjong in the west?

We have been hyper-conscious of blinking lately and it's getting on our nerves.

I... really need to get better at letting Rose front. I think I've been holding front too much to the detriment of us both.

-F

🔥 It's Rosemary here. I think I'm going to be fronting for a little bit because Felthry's driven itself too hard and needs a break. We decided a little while back that we're going to be using a single account for the both of us now, so I'll be here.

it is early and i'm not even an earl

note also that yes, it is *technically* possible to reverse-charge most types of batteries, even alkalines, but this is universally a failure state and they do not have much capacity when reverse charged (and will only charge to a few hundred millivolts if that)

Lead-acid cells are actually symmetric (except for mechanical asymmetries in how commercial ones are designed)

note that you should never reverse-charge them though. Modern commercial lead-acid batteries are designed to maximise performance when used in the intended operating mode, i.e. with the + terminal charged to a higher voltage than the - terminal.

did you know that lead-acid batteries can actually be charged in either polarity? it's the only battery chemistry we're aware of that allows that.

we have been so overwhelmed by... both everything and *nothing*, somehow, that thinking is hard x.x.x our brain can't brain right now

So uh. what was mixer again?

a game where the goal is to confuse snakes: Adder Addler

consider: m/n/ŋ neopronouns

they say you should walk a mile in someone else's shoes, but even @monorail's shoes are too small for that

or was it @connie who was talking about not having a DS? I forget, it was someone whose stream we watched recently x.x.x

hey @SquirrelLilly was it you who were talking about not having a DS? Apparently Walmart currently has a sale on the 2DS XL for $100, which is a really good deal. It's the last run before they discontinue the whole 3DS series (though of course used ones will still be available)
