Please stop putting Wario up there. It get’s my hopes up that Nintendo made a fun different game for a change instead of the port onslaught.
Wait.
Disregard my grievance. Seeing Wario up there is a bit of hope for the coming day.  Read more

I got one of these a few weeks ago. Nice little gadget, really. It supports GeForce Now, which will let you play your games from your PC or the cloud (and from the cloud if you own it on say Steam or Epic and don’t have it installed). It also supports GamePass, with some games from the cloud but console streaming Read more

It would be nice if the Kishi worked as a wireless controller when it’s just folded by itself. Sometimes I hook up an external monitor to my Samsung for gaming on a bigger screen with DeX, and it would be nice to just use the Kishi in that scenario, too. Read more

Actually got the best of both worlds, because there are “halo” style straps that will adapt well with the Quest 2 now. Ordered mine last year from AliExpress and it came in about 20 days - but I think they’re showing up for faster shipping on other sites now. That very much improves the comfort and balance of the Read more

The Lamy. The German legend. It’s the default pen in German school. It’s also capable of doing a party trick. You can get it to do a summersault. How though I’ll leave that up for you to find out. ;) Read more

203°F for an hour to decarb. If you grind it, it won’t try to float as much. It’s going to try though. I weigh it down with a meat pounder (and sometimes a bowl on top of that). It’ll off-gas quite a bit and 203° is hot as all get out on your bare skin. Weight it down on the front end so you aren’t dealing with a Read more

Pick up a Sous Vide. You can use it to decarb, there’s no smell when infusing your oil/tincture, and you can make wonderful food with it. Read more

Been in retail for 20 years and I strongly second the Brother laser recommendation. While I’m not a fan of their inkjets, their lasers have been rock-solid with very few issues that aren’t user error. The cost per page is ridiculously low, too, especially if you’re an infrequent printer like I am, because the Read more

Brooks (and other) leather saddles are the most comfortable saddles out there—if you ride fairly often. Most people don’t, and aren’t up to the caretaking that leather saddles need (break-in, regular leather treatment, coverage against rain [this is also one of--though by no means the only-- the reasons that I have Read more
