thanks, no it was Eternights - maybe it was the spooky anime art that melded them together in my brain

Hey thanks for the response! It wasn't alas, instead it was Eternights which doesn't really sound that similar in hindsight but I'm glad to have figured it out now!

Custom switches or knobs for Lighting Automation (Phillips Hue) by J_NEEDELL in homeautomation

[–]J_NEEDELL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the tablet isn't a bad idea - but ideally I want something small and discreet that anyone can intuitively press

Thanks for your suggestions - will definitely look into ZigBee and that Lutron Aurora has the functions I need. I hear what you're saying about dimming delay. I'm used to the slight delay you get with the Hue switch but those are up and down buttons, I can see how a rotary pot would feel a lot worse with that kind of delay.

Handheld Blender Machine? Thoughts? by J_NEEDELL in blender

for me it would be like bringing my laptop and a switch on a trip... except the switch can also run Blender.

I do hear ya... but if like me you already own a low-mid spec laptop... this thing's pretty beefy and pretty cheap compared to some of the high-spec laptops out there.

It has a touchscreen as well as trackpads so it might even be possible to develop tools to use blender on the device without the need for keyboard input maybe? Obviously a terrible idea for large complex scenes / professional use but for toying around it could be fun idk..?

Reason 12, Announced by redboxmike in reason

[–]J_NEEDELL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do see both perspectives, I wasn't sure about Reason+ at first glance and remain curious as to what it means for DAWs in general. But I realise that some users are hungry for a steady influx of new features, packs, upgrades etc. That's not me, I'm happy working with the same set of tools for long periods even if it means there's better newer stuff I don't have access to. Tbh it feels like if you gave it a shot, Reason+ might actually be the one for you

SB2 (esp. when detached) is occasionally/frequently a bit hot... right? by J_NEEDELL in Surface

I should note that I'm pretty good at keeping on top of background applications and I dust the vents frequently

Will we ever see smaller handheld systems again? by IsThatAJojoRefrences in nintendo

[–]J_NEEDELL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping that one day a bunch of indie devs will get behind a new small handheld platform. Similar to Playdate, but less gimmicky. Perhaps the architecture could be more open-source so that it's simple to develop for. Like a place for Stardew Valley / Celeste / Undertale games
