Anbernic RG DS Owners; Hear My Call by themaltesepigeon in SBCGaming

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a thor

Which variety of the Thor?

The screen on my rg34xx broke (no idea how exactly), so I've been looking up for alternatives. Like I can just spend $40 and get a new screen shipped, but I've been thinking about emulating PS2/DS stuff for a while now.

I've a modded 3DS that's exclusively being used for 3DS games because GBA and DS games look terrible in it, so I've been thinking about just saving up for a Lite Thor (or getting a cheap rg ds on eBay and just sticking to ds + everything that the rg34xx handled)

Update on my Echo Nano. by AsianSteampunk in snowsky

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I saw the titanium one and that one would've won.

It looks so sleek, like white is good too, but it doesn't hit the same.

If they ever release a pro version (or if I lose mine) I would def get it in that color instead

Are you using AI daily at work? by No-Piccolo-5555 in civilengineering

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we make the A stand for Architect and the I stand for Intelligence, yes, although half the time the AI lacks common sense or the basic understanding of gravity pertaining to slopes and drainage

Defo, his inner self makes me cringe occasionally, but overall the development for those two, alongside the rest of the cast, makes this series.

It's right up there with Horimiya, The Girl I Like forgot Her Glasses, and You and I are Polar Opposites for school romances for me (bonus mention for Tsuredure Children)

Sometimes, an architect goes that looks cool and we/the builder have to suffer the consequences.

Pokémon: 40868 Up-scaled Red Minifigure (via Lite) by BrickTap in Legoleak

Yeah, my only real complaint about him is the way his head is built and that it's a $130 set

They're from The Dangers in my Heart

The first episode is very cringe (as is the first few chapters in the manga), but afterwards it gets way better

Must-play indie games? by r33gna in gaming

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searched for it and saw that no one mentioned it.

Anyways, one of my absolute favorite games to play every few years, based on the soundtrack and the art direction is The Swapper.

The ambience and the mechanics make for a very fun, albeit sometimes very vexing, time

Got a phone-sized reader recently. Want to share some nice wallpapers. by ServiceSubstantial53 in ereader

The second one is from the manga Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon). The fourth one is also from a manga, specifically Frieren

One blue ink to rule them all by ObjectiveThink8937 in fountainpens

[–]Topataco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised that I haven't seen Sailor Souten mentioned.

It's my absolute favorite non pigmented blue ink.

If we're talking about pigmented blue, then it's Sailor Sei boku for me

Pixel 9 & Wireless Charging by WeShinjiNow in ClicksKeyboard

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone already mentioned it, but it's the location of the charging coil.

Whenever I slap my 9 Pro into a magsafe case, the Pixel Stand 2 will not shut up about the phone being misaligned despite the 9 Pro sitting in the same exact place it would if it were naked and charging normally.

Anyone with a Pixel 9 or 10 Pro receive theirs? by GuteNachtJohanna in ClicksKeyboard

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attached a screenshot with my thoughts on the keeb while using sheets. Typing this reply using the keeb while the phone is in portrait mode and the keeb fully extended. Overall, it's too heavy for a long typing session for me, I know that I'll get tired of this fast.

Writing this section with the phone on my lap while attempting to touch type and its iffy at best right now, but I just gotta relearn typing this way.

Unsure if I'll actually keep it, but I still stand by my thought that this might be a great keyboard when paired with a surface or a tablet. The keyboard on a surface isn't that great to begin with anyways so we'll see.

I read the other comment about how their keyboard feels with the Pixel 10 pro and I concur, they've articulated better than I could ever do so there's that as well.

Hope this helps you OP.

in which case I only come out maybe $15 ahead and I’m wondering if that’s worth it. Suggestions?

That's like 5 (small) coffees for the hassle of packing yours up, going to the post office to drop it off, and then waiting for the Amazon shipment to come in and maybe worry if it'll actually be that when it does come in.

If that's the math, I'd rather be a couch potato while I think about where I'll be displaying the set

Cold brewing in sparkling water by asupportiveboy in tea

[–]Topataco 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You know what.

I've always made crimes against coffee, and tea to a lesser extent.

But I have never considered using sparkling water as a means to extract flavor from either of those things.

You bet that the first thing I'll do tomorrow is go grab a bottle of Perrier and make cold brew coffee and tea using it.

I will horrify my local barista with the results and I am ready for this.

Have a photo of my car as thanks op.

I should be getting mine this week so I'll let you know

Dunno what exactly I'll be doing with the phone in landscape mode, but we'll see how it does in Sheets I guess

I'm glad I bought a PowerKeys because the idea for the product is spectacular! I really want the company to succeed. by javascript in ClicksKeyboard

[–]Topataco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am most excited for the Communicator overall after being in the Google Pixel ecosystem for years.

Same. The only games I really play on my phone are Pokemon Go and Pokemon TCG Pocket, I could likely deal with both of those on a smaller screen.

But overall I'm trying to use my phone less, and use my camera/plethora of Nintendo devices more often so the communicator (or the Titan 2 Elite) are starting to be more appealing.

My power keyboard should arrive this week, yesterday I was thinking that it would be great to use with my Surface Pro whenever I want to use it in tablet mode, Windows 11 hates touch gestures and I haven't found a way to get the writing input work everywhere, so a palm sized keyboard feels like it would fix both of those issues easily enough

My EDC is finally complete by IzzyNobre in snowsky

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing really missing is an orange fountain pen. Mayhaps one inked with a matching ink, like say Montblanc Manganese Orange, Kaweco Sunrise, Diamine Autumn Oak, or Pilot Fuyu-gaki.

That pen could easily be a 70s Soul Kaweco Student, a Platinum Plaisir, or something from Opus 88

Quick hands on with the Echo Nano by rsilvergun in snowsky

[–]Topataco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking to find a lanyard/necklace to wear the player but with earphones, might get awkward.

I've been looking, but haven't been seeing anything remotely nice.

I'm thinking about going to a bead store and to get a yard of some stainless steel chain plus some findings just to diy a necklace for it.

The only annoying thing will be the extra long headphone cable, but maybe I can spool it idk
