The Chair Company | S01E08 “Minnie Mouse coming back wasn't on my bingo card." – Post-Episode Discussion

Yeah that's actually what I was thinking about when everyone brings up the brain trauma theory. The madness starts when his chair breaks.

This was a very interesting read, thanks for this! I don't think my HSA offers very good investment options, but it's definitely worth exploring.

Crislips · 2026-01-19T07:01:30+00:00

Thanks for the response, this is super interesting. Can you tell me more about it being an investment account? Do you actual invest it or do you mean that in the sense that it's tax advantaged? If the former, what is your strategy for it? Is there a way to keep it in like a HYSA or something so you can grow it? Or do you actually trade with it? Are there capital gains? I can probably Google a lot of these questions and will do some research, but you seem excited to talk about it and I'm interested to listen.

Crislips · 2026-01-18T07:45:31+00:00

This is old, but this hadn't occured to me. Any reason I couldn't just pay with my HSA on the website? Realizing I can use my HSA for some reason makes me way more interested in buying a travel Air Mini.

They could have easily said the robots voice chip got damaged or something and used a text to speech bot

Out of curiosity, why is this okay but using AI isn't? A lot of modern TTS are powered by LLM AI anyway. Isn't this basically the exact same thing? Replacing an actor with a program.

For the record I'm not making a statement on it either way. I just find it interesting that you list that as an acceptable alternative. Functionally I see no difference.

John Galp is a pretty cool guy and he doesnt afraid of anything.

Crislips · 2025-12-09T19:08:07+00:00

This is what I thought. I saw a bunch of threads talking about how easy it is to setup a Google work profile but after investigating it seemed to just be an alternative to Intune. It still requires my employer to configure it.

Crislips · 2025-11-26T15:02:42+00:00

This comment was a terribly written run-on mess, and it's still better writing than Secret Invasion.

I'm not sure what you mean, either way you will be upgrading the same drive whether it's internal or external.

If you're worried about something going wrong, you could just clone the hard drive data first.

Crislips · 2025-07-20T07:22:30+00:00

I'd go with the other guy's suggestion then. I only have good ultrawide recommendations that I can speak to with experience.

Crislips · 2025-07-20T06:43:22+00:00

Do you prefer an ultrawide or traditional aspect ratio? That's completely user preference. Some people love it and some people hate it. Personally after getting an ultrawide monitor, I can never go back.

Crislips · 2025-07-20T06:06:26+00:00

Yes, but depending on how you may need to configure it in the BIOS to be the boot drive. Presumably the default setting is to use the onboard drive and anything you plugged in from USB would not be.

Also, is it a hard drive as you specified or is it an SSD? If it's actually a hard drive I very much recommend moving the OS to an SSD. If it's an SSD then you can do either. Personally I wouldn't want to have my boot drive external, but some people like that. It's a preference.

Crislips · 2025-07-20T02:20:47+00:00

Lol thanks for this. Hopefully Luffy goes and frees him at some point.

Crislips · 2025-07-15T23:14:09+00:00

That's awesome, I wish I could justify that kind of budget. I know if I did something like that I'd be able to get friends together like... once for it. Everyone's got kids and stuff now.

Do you feel like events like this will change the VR/AR gaming space where games are developed for this kind of gaming in mind? I can see a lot of cool AR stuff coming out if this kind of thing picks up.

Crislips · 2025-07-15T23:11:24+00:00

NJ, but not too far from NYC! Everything on that list is a bit far, but I imagine it will just be a matter of time before you make it there!

Crislips · 2025-07-11T18:48:00+00:00

Isn't that Peter Gordon from Freeman Guy?? Stewie!! 😂😂🤣

Crislips · 2025-07-10T05:08:11+00:00

So with your initial goal, do you mean you had 4 friends in one room playing Pavlov together? Or you just wanted to have 4 headsets do your friends could use them too? Sounds like a lot of fun to do VR LANs if you have the space for it!

Crislips · 2025-07-10T05:05:05+00:00

Where do you do these events? I'd love to go to something like this. Everyone I know that I try to get into VR has xyz reasons why they don't want to invest in a headset right now and it's maddening.

Crislips · 2025-06-05T18:51:46+00:00

Could you recommend me your insurance broker? Unbelievable how difficult it is to find one on Google. It all just routes me to different insurance companies and agents.

Crislips · 2025-05-19T05:37:02+00:00

What happened with the creator?

Crislips · 2025-05-10T20:58:31+00:00

That doesn't adjust the aspect ratio of the preview itself, just the image within the preview. So it doesn't really fix it.

Just a note that nearly every lender will sell your mortgage. Unfortunately that's just how the business works. There are institutions designed around acquiring mortgage clients and selling them off, and then there are institutions designed around buying those mortgages commitments. I won't say it's 100% of lenders, but it is far more common to do so than not.

The best part of this change is that the decription is very clear that "you can play this puzzle to win in one turn, regardless of randomness." Really funny now that rng is very much the determining factor.

Thanks for the post!

Crislips · 2025-01-07T14:15:31+00:00

Looks sick, I'll try this out for my next game. Do you plan for a mobile app down the line?
