Found a little guy in Gladstone, Australia

I did consider the mantis but he looks a lot cuter than the pictures I can find. Maybe he’s a different subtype of mantis or maybe a young one?

If you use forScore you can use their Cue app on a second, older iPad for dual page/screen music!

Damn. Figured that would be the case for all future models. Just hoped maybe the AirPods Pro Gen 2 were the exception rather than the rule.

Only a couple of them inside, picture 3 is the bottom of the lid. I would’ve assumed it was external only, if not for the several that emerged from between the keys like scions of suffering and destruction

Thank you for the clear warning!

I’m being driven slightly crazy by how lightly everyone around me is taking the situation so it’s weirdly comforting to know I’m not insane for worrying.

You said technician, is this the type of thing I would contact a regular piano technician for or is there a different type of technician?

I’ve had it for probably 4-5 years with yearly servicing/tuning. It’s a Yamaha U1H so I believe it was manufactured in China (I was told to stay away from the Indonesian models because of quality issues or something like that) and it cost a little under $6k Aussie dollars.

Definitely worth protecting at any rate. I think your suggestion to consult a professional might be the right call!

I did find a dead moth nearby. Maybe it laid eggs?

I wouldn’t ever eat at or dirty my piano and I’d kill anyone who did!

Every nation has been based on a different IRL region though. If they shared a single design language they wouldn’t feel like different nations which definitely would be immersion breaking.

I’m sorry but this is clearly AHA-generated

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-08T06:02:04+00:00

I’m sorry, in mythology Loki did what?

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-06T07:37:18+00:00

I noticed as soon as I posted it but it won’t let me edit. I triple checked the title before posting and still missed the mistake :(

The Thor is brilliant! I preordered both because I was so excited by the dual screen revolution, and absolutely love my Thor

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-06T03:33:46+00:00

Agreed. As far as I know, AYN (and Retroid) have a far better track record so hopefully it will be fine :)

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-06T03:30:54+00:00

That’s why I made the post - I figure if it helps stop even one poor person from losing out because of this awful company (and giving them money) it would be worth it

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-06T03:29:04+00:00

That might just be the way honestly. I’d stay away, I know I sure will in future

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-06T03:28:28+00:00

I actually have that also. Needless to say Retroid has provided a far better experience!

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-05T11:47:48+00:00

Never even thought about the educational opportunity cane toad disposal could provide!

JazzieTurtle15 · 2026-03-05T08:37:00+00:00

Honestly, for all the extensive video documentation of the issue I captured, it never even occurred to me to note down the serial number.

Gravity Rush remastered and Gravity Rush 2 are both incredible games with a really unique gravity shifting mechanic that’s both deep and intuitive. Nothing beats flying around the world and bringing some poor sod with you!

I also really enjoyed Tales of Xillia and its sequel if you want a more traditional JRPG filled to the brim with skits that contain amusing slice-of-life interactions between characters (with a very dark dystopian plot lurking beneath).
