part of this is "gosh wheelchair brakes are so, so bad" tho

like, whoever thought "put 1cm of metal bar against the top of the tyre. that'll probably be enough." deserves something suitably educational

..probably an engineering course, come to think of it?

lacks the whole Hades Ironic Punishment vibe but would end up with far more productive results

(that is nowhere near enough to stop g-forces on a bus or tram, so bracing yourself constantly with your hands or feet is a thing)

Today is veeeerymuch a recovery day

An hour and a half of new trams and buses was ludicrously optimistic of me

flop

@noiob this says more about my utter ignorance of electronics than anything else I realise :p

@noiob without context I was left imagining an piece of gym equipment that replaces wearing ankle weights/etc with some eldritch combination of steel bars, springs and aggressive branding

I just noticed the :nb_crossbow:​ emoji and that (nb crossbow) is the best descriptor for it

Idk I've never heard it called that before, 100% approval

Filling in a new dentist form and the "are you on any medication" section with a space smaller than my pinkie finger

Buddy, gimme a sheet of A4 and 15 minutes and I'll tell you

I didn't know how much I wanted a carriage drawn by a pair of sharks until now

Listening to the new Age of Sigmar novel that massively fleshes out the Idoneth society (angsty fish-elves), and it's good so far

But I can only go by audio b/c only got the audiobook, and AoS as a setting has a habit of unnecessary proprietary names for animals

So ending up with situations like

"Wherever larger predators lurked, drawn to the scents and sounds of the Enclave like Voltaire to carrion.."

Okay, cool

@Moot@snouts.online Picture 2 is just wonderful

re: hyperfixation (adhd) 

@variance that sounds.. unenviably confusing, yeah x.x

re: hyperfixation (adhd) 

@variance I'm pretty darn aro so I can't go "same" here, but nontheless that makes a lotta sense as an analogy, and jeez relatable on the hyperfixation

re: Earth Defence Force 5, giant bugs 

@hokaze@queer.af I wouldn't say it's as easy as possible (there's timing on two invisible cooldowns to get right with more complicated stuff), but it's a heck of a lot easier than EDF4's shield-cancelling by like, orders of magnitude.

Chaining jumps/boosts is now an ability you get from 2 augment loadout slots, which can also be stuff that reduces recoil or makes shields more durable or suchlike. With max you can have 4 jumps & 4 boosts before hitting the ground, which can scale most skyscrapers or get 2/3rds of the way across many levels.

Earth Defence Force 5, giant bugs 

Me n K have unlocked the harder difficulties of EDF now and yeeeah, those gold ants hit hard

My Fencer build has stayed prettymuch the same throughout though, with occasional variations [blasthole spear, dispersal mortar / hand cannon, heavy mortar]

I do love that the class with the biggest guns is also now the most agile

Zipping through the air chaining jumps is the most satisfying movement-in-game I've experienced in a long while, Spider Man PS4 included

Q: What is a "lightsaber"?

You: An elegant weapon, from a more civilised age.
Me, an Intellectual: It's a stick that makes you savvy with the Light Side.

X-ray came back clear. Don't have lymphoma.

I don't care much about cape movies but I'm happy the Wonder Woman trailer has got lots of people earwormed with Blue Monday

Tis a good song

@Moot@snouts.online It is another prestige TV cast from the "tension-drama about a middle-aged straight white guy balancing shady crime tuff-man-tuff-calls with atomic family commitments" mould.

The Sopranos etc
