I've learned this the hard way. Got two nice, different Panasonics in a row only to have both fail after a relatively short time period ("relatively short" kinda varies for me since I think things that happened five years ago happened "the other day" these days). After the second failure, I just got the cheapest of the Panasonics, and it's outlasted both of the previous ones already and does just as good a job.

Luggage.

You don't want to be repacking your shit while late a for a flight because you're a kg over the limit and it's gonna cost an extra $100 if you don't and mistakenly rip the zipper off your carry-on. You really, really don't.

You don't have to completely break the bank either, but if you value your sanity, I wouldn't spend too much less than $200 on a carry-on/check-in pair.

That was my thought. I spent the last 48 hours in various airports, and this briefly looked normal to me.

No, no. This is literally steeped ice cubes.

Told the granddads to choose a name as is Korean tradition.

I'm using a Leopold FC900R with blues (click-thock forever!) that I got a few years back. It's a full sized, 104 key, no RGB, no bells and whistles type deal. I got a really good deal on one (~$80 USD), but I'm in Korea where they're made, so YMMV. I honestly don't know what the back plate is made of, but it is quite heavy. 1.2 kgs (2.6 lbs) according to this place.

I used to, but I don't often find the time these days. Trig for days. Especially given most game input is in (x,y) format from analog sticks or WASD. Gotta turn that into angles! (Not that you need much trig to turn WASD into angles.)

While you cook up some boxed mac and cheese on the stove, cut up some broccoli and onions or whatever appropriate veggies you have lying around, and open a can of tuna (any kind of cooked protein is fine, so fry and shred some chicken breast or ground beef if you're feeling ambitious.) When that's done, mix it together in a casserole dish, throw some cheese on top and chuck it in the oven until it turns a bit brown.

I would if I had one. I did buy a USB-C to 3.5mm cable anyway. So many audio applications are basically unusable with the latency you get with Bluetooth headphones.

We adopted a crazy guy who lived in the sewers. We'd check up on him whenever we were back in town. Ended up giving him a neat magical item that let him cast prestidigitation a few times a day or something, and some other amenities hoping he'd clean up his act. We never finished the campaign, but I like to think he got it together.

Elden Ring and Stardew Valley ate a decent chunk of 2023 for me. And are both amazing games in their own right. Totally different, though.

I didn't play anything really bad this past year, but I did bounce off Crosscode pretty hard after expecting to love it given I'm a sucker for early JRPGs and the 8 and 16 bit eras in general. It's a well made game, just overlong and featuring some tedious and frustrating mechanics.

Ahh, that makes much more sense.

"뭐?" = "What?" in Korean.

Hey! Exactly like Skyrim on PS3 at release. Nostalgia!

Your sample is biased given a specifically-sized subset of the population tends towards such work.

Yeah, as far as child stars go, he turned out more well adjusted than the vast majority it seems.

Betting houses are offering .5 to 1 odds he wins. Halve your money with one smart bet!

I see your point, but wow, I hope not.

1999 was 24 years ago. 24 years before 1999 was 1975, when Wish You Were Here, Physical Graffiti, and Toys in the Attic all came out. Those were definitely classic rock then.
