  • Literally anything. Even the things I still have that use AA and AAA batteries (of which the newest things are my VR controllers which is so stupid…), I have rechargeable lithium ion AAs and AAAs for so I don’t have to constantly buy batteries.

    As a kid, tho, I loved 9volts because they had the best connectors. I could take a little battery powered motor apart, glue it to some legos and use it to make machines that moved or did stuff. I almost killed myself once wondering what would happen if I took the cord from a busted fan, wired it to the 9volt battery motor and the plugged the cord into the wall outlet.

    It blew up the motor and started a fire. 🤣






  • I live in the city now after years of living in the country, and I definitely wanna go back to the country. The only good thing about the city is that I can just walk across the street for groceries which are way more expensive here than where I moved from. City has more pests, too. Once in a while I’d see a field mouse get into the kitchen when I was living in the sticks. In the city, cockroaches and big fat fucking rats all the time, everywhere, the minute the sun goes down. It’s gross.












  • From Steam’s main interface:

    Games>Add a non-steam game to my library

    Point it at the executable you want to add (you can select multiple programs from the big list if it automatically shows up, or manually look for it from the button at the bottom)

    Boom. It’s on Steam now. You can then go to SteamGridDB and get art assets to make it look nicer than a plain gray rectangle with the default font (right click the various elements and select “manage>custom artwork.”)

    Addendum: if you want to do this for VR games, you also will want to go into the options (right click, properties) and toggle “show in VR library.”




  • Meme is more about looting but hear me out:

    I wish more fantasy RPGs used their own player conveniences as more than just player conveniences. Like, FF7’s big “what the hell” moment when you can’t just use a Phoenix Down on Aerith.

    Dragon’s Dogma has spoiled me on this. You can revive any fallen named NPC if you have a wake stone. They even get put in a special room for you to visit if you forget their body long enough, so you can never lose a vital NPC while still having chaotic, emergent action with monsters rampaging through town.
