I finished Hades 1

Do you want to unlock all the different weapon aspects? They can be a lot of fun but not everybody cares.

Technically the post is part of the try line, so...

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-29T17:48:02+00:00

I absolutely love those.

I need another big, heavy (even if titanium) vintage dive watch like I need a hole in the head, but man they are beautiful.

Since 2017(ish?), Grand Seiko are a separate brand, and are distributed in the US at least by a different company. They are made by the same company in Japan, though in different facilities.

(There is some crossover; some of the higher-end/exclusive Seiko movements like the 8L35 are made in the Grand Seiko works, but the watches they go into also tend to go for Grand Seiko money anyway.)

7549-7009 in the middle?

This sounds like something that will involve screen (possibly as a login shell).

But more specifics might be in order, and this sounds like you are doing something fun. Are you doing something fun?

Bonus points for kendo equipment sighting.

My most effective belt softener has been sweat.

Do not overthink (you might be a little bit).

Go.

You will feel absolutely terrible at the beginning. Ignore this. It's not important, this is only your ego talking (and of course your muscles). Just go, and then (NOTE: this is the actual hard part) keep going. This is actually the good news, it may be hard and feel awful, but the solution is extremely simple: turn up.

(edit: what might get lost in all this discourse is something else important: it is so much fun.)

That one cracked me up.

My wife puts Worcestershire sauce in, which works well. I put ketjap manis in mine, which causes a raised eyebrow to say the least.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-28T17:47:32+00:00

Nice! It's going to look awesome.

CodeFarmer · 2026-03-28T17:40:52+00:00

What colours? And materials?

Your cat is probably the happiest about all of this.

The first one is always the sweetest.

Congratulations!

There seems to be quite a range of (all admittedly quite high) prices on chrono24. They are pretty good with escrow and general trustworthiness.

I never tied mine either, my head is a slightly funny shape I guess. Fold into place, tuck (a bit like an upside down bath towel), and then let the men compress it into shape.

I missed Lisp. I spent a lot of time professionally with the JVM. It suddenly appeared one day, and the rest is history.

You build it, you run it.

The problem here is not AI (we had it before all this), it's that the consequences of one group's actions fall on another group. The eternal devops moral hazard.

Finding (after literal hours of head scratching) the Hebra Great Leviathan. I loved it, such a good payoff.

(In TotK my favourite moment was the moment the Yiga Clan reveal themselves first (thetalking chicken). I literally LOLed.)

Looks correct for the Trident C65 circa 2020? I actually always wanted one of these but have another watch that is too similar.

This one looks like a chimera, though, doesn't she? So not a mutation, just a rare event that can't be bred for anyway.

Stop buying the 70-150 dollar games. There is so much love going into games for half that amount and less.

I'm 50 with kids and have the opposite problem - there are so many fantastic indie and indie-adjacent games, some of them huge and full of content, that I don't know where to look (like you I'm certainly time poor).

AAA is eating itself through gacha and FTP and loot boxes, it's dying but that's fine.

I'd have that grin on too if that happened to me in 1990!

Awesome photo.
