    I'm a pretty big fan on 8bitdo. I have several wired and wireless pads from them. Something about it just clicks for me, and their new translucent models are just awesome.

    I've been on the edge of buying a mechanical keyboard for months, ya know, doing the dance of having one or three in cart, ready to go. But this actually made me pull the trigger and do the pre order. A sin in gaming I know, but this is so fucking cool from a brand thats been consistently quality for me, its a no brainer.

    I wanted something with Bluetooth, dongle, and wired USB C. Check.

    I wanted a volume knob. Make or break feature for me. I just like the tactile feeling of a knob, so check.

    Also it comes with one of the big dual button macro button controllers! Neat!

    Kinda reads shilly. Im just excited.

    I think thats a good plan, especially while the sizes of the community is still smaller and more manageable.

    I really like your comment that thousands of hands can make light work of many things. I realize that's where my position on the mayter was; Were aware of so many infrastructure problems going on and systems failing and we continue to react instead of stop the problem at it source to stop it from escalating.

    If we don't upgrade our electrical grid to account for more AC load that WILL increase with climate change were in for a very bad time littered with preventable deaths.

    Discussion: Would bringing back the Civilian Conservation Corp Program be benefecial in the US?

    Quick Wikipedia Summary: The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a voluntary government work relief program that ran from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men ages 18–25 and eventually expanded to ages 17–28.[1] The CCC was a major part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that supplied manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC was designed to supply jobs for young men and to relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States. In the US, we have many infrastructure programs falling to the wayside such as old and failing city water systems, electrical service, and outdated public transit. I understand the maasive ammounts of money and coordination has to go into a project like this. But to me, introducing a program like the defunct CCC would allow struggling Americans to have a steady path of employment throughout the nation. More money in the workers pockets, less unemployment, and an improved society afterwards. This to me seems like a win win win, what am I missimg here?

    Yes exactly. For me, the most rewarding part is including the breadcrumbs to the real story while allowing them to explore the world we're building together.

    Slashers Keep, Lego Builder (the puzzle one), and some indie VR titles. I'm really tempted to get Sparky the Electric Jester 3, it looks so cute!

    Has anyone played Void Bastards? What's your elevator pitch on why I should (or not) play it?

    Asus Zenfone 10 review: The best small smartphone gets even better https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-10-review/

    From the few reviews I've quickly scanned, this phone seems to be the dream device for those who want a compact phone. The major complaints I've heard mainly revolve around the camera being subpar or just a bit basic. Personally speaking, I've gotten consistently good shots from a Zenfone 9, and the video stabilization on that device was amazing. In my opinion, if this is just positively iterating on the previous year, the camera should be suitable for your average consumer. Maybe not the "pro tool" they seem to be touting it as, but I'm more personally hoping for a more robust video recording focus. What are your thoughts? Will you utilize the 16gb of RAM 👀? (on the 16/512gb model for confusion) also, it has a headphone jack 🙏❤️ (If you see this posted by another account to lemmy.link, it was me, however I'm cross posting here for engagement)

    [OC] The Rise Of Dungeons & Dragons... and D20 Clones youtu.be

    [Summary: Today is an in-depth look at the origins of Dungeons and Dragons, and the famous (and not so) D&D clones that came after. We go over some outstanding innovations that D&D introduced to a mainstream audience. This took forever, a lot of these games are really old and poorly documented. please give it a shot. ] OP Note: this was one of the highest effort videos we put together, but mostly went under the radar. I won't be posting any more OC to keep with the spirit of not using this space to promote my own works, but I found out about a bunch of cool games and overall some history on the ttrpg space that I think others would enjoy too.
