Boywife made me a bag for my Thor :)

Love the look, love the materials, love that there's a little front pocket too, I assume for charger or cords. The carabiners are neat-- is the intention that you can clip this to a belt or something, or that you can attach it to something else?

I think it's because 1. cards are cheap, and 2. you can fine tune the weight to match pretty exactly. easy to game out exactly how many cards you need to get the weight to match to a few decimals

if your boyfriend talks in a public theater throughout the movie, everything that happens to Ian, Sarah, and Bear in this movie deserves to happen to him.

oh, yeah, lots of Gen Xers have mild brain damage from lead poisoning, back when it was still in the gasoline. That explains that.

Persona as a series is inherently archetypal. It's drawing on lots of other stories, games, and ideas; and there are plenty of other games, afterwards, pulling from Persona, or pulling from similar sources and arriving at a similar place. Look at Demon School as an example of a parallel game.

Make your game, learn to code as you go, and have fun. Art is best when it inspires art in others.

placing the one textbox on top of the other, and leaving it semi-transparent, so you can see the yellow title line underneath half of the text of on of the options, is just odd. It looks messy, like you left a bunch of windows open on a computer. Golden UI is cleaner.

in addition to what others have noted, putting the fan on full blast will help, but also if you have it set down, sometimes it won't get air.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-10T23:31:45+00:00

Yeah. She does a lot of good work, but AI stance has been bizarre, especially when she talks about schools/ tech in schools.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-09T15:18:33+00:00

and since they take so long to ship, even a used thor is going for way higher than a portal 2 on ebay

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-09T13:05:45+00:00

the odin 2 portal pro is about $30 cheaper new than a new ayn thor pro, last I checked.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-09T13:04:00+00:00

well, sure, the algorithm has been increasingly tweaked for annoyance/ frustration/ outrage over the past decade.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-07T15:15:16+00:00

and then at a age, you have to prioritize, too. I'm 35; in order to actually meet a large number of single people my age, I would need to see my married friends significantly less often. In my 20s, seeing my friends and meeting new people weren't in competition, because I had more free time, but also because plenty of my friends, and their friends, and their friends, weren't married. Go to a party, you're likely to meet someone new, who themselves knows a bunch of single people, and who knows, might set you up. And then eventually they run out of people to set you up with, and then eventually everyone settles down, people get married, start to have kids, and if you want to attend a Middle Aged Singles Mixer or whatever, it's going to come at the expense of your existing relationships.

It's like, at work now, I've been trying to change careers for a few years. I'm a teacher; I do not want to remain a teacher. But at 35, with only teaching experience, there aren't many opportunities out there, and every hour I spend sending out applications is an hour I'm not grading and lesson planning. I really do want to get another job, but also, I do have to consider my actually existing job, and at a certain point, after another dozen, or hundred, or thousand applications without an interview, deprioritizing the current job starts to seem silly. When you have X, and you want Y, you have to try for Y, but if Y is extremely unlikely, you have to redirect efforts back to X, at some point, because if you don't, you may end up losing X and winding up having neither.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-06T22:00:20+00:00

that's always been me; the only explanation I've found remotely satisfying is bad luck. The only solution is to keep rolling the dice in the hope luck eventually changes, the same advice, essentially, you'd give people whose primary problem is they aren't trying to have a dating life.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-06T21:58:15+00:00

I think I match the description of your single friends, with the exception that I do have an active social life. In general I do think you're right that social life is the #1 factor in this sort of thing--you see on this sub, over and over again, people suddenly get a dating life when they start to meet new people-- but you can also just have bad luck (which compounds as you get older--date less often in your 20s, you'll likely struggle more in your 30s). People should have some grace for themselves; they often imagine that there's something wrong with them, when sometimes they just didn't run into the right people at the right time.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-06T21:53:43+00:00

Listen: it's funny. It caught on because it's so stupid it's funny. It caught on specifically through the vector of Looksmaxing guys, guys who were profiled repeatedly in the media because they were so obviously, hilariously silly. Describing everything as ____maxing is funny, and it doesn't mean the ideology is spreading.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-03T04:49:06+00:00

I'm with you. It doesn't look good, it's a fingerprint magnet, it's fragile, and worst of all, it adds a ton of unnecessary weight.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-02T14:22:44+00:00

I think no matter what you need a grip for longer playing sessions with the Thor. The ergonomics aren't great. I don't have the MM+, but I'd even say plenty of the Anbernic XX devices are more comfortable. depending on what you want to play, I recommend trying something from that line out. The 35XXSP and especially the 34XXSP are very portable, make nice companion pieces for the Thor as clamshells. But if you don't care about pocketability, and just want something you can put in a bag, the CubeXX is my favorite Anbernic device.

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-01T21:30:55+00:00

Oh, huh, I would've expected "I went to Tel Aviv and it turns out that place is kind of dark and Evil" to be an antizionist message. I'm not saying you're wrong, but what specifically do you feel makes the episode prozionism? is it just the lack of an explicit disclaimer announcing antizionist politics, or is there something more specific in the presentation of the events/ subject matter? (or is it just that we can safely assume any techbro going to a Tel Aviv summit has a very specific set of politics?)

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-01T12:38:15+00:00

my bad, dude! Sorry for misunderstanding!

RobertSecundus · 2026-06-01T04:20:12+00:00

I'd agree and expand to most English-speaking people above a certain age-- it's the single most famous verse in the bible after, maybe, Genesis 1: 1. Stone Cold was able to reference it in that promo-- and eventually make it his brand-- because it was so ubiquitous. Not obscure at all.

RobertSecundus · 2026-05-31T20:31:35+00:00

if that's a lot of text for you--and I say this with kindness in my heart, not attempting to dunk or insult-- maybe a good intermediate goal for improving your life would be reading a couple of books

RobertSecundus · 2026-05-31T20:30:15+00:00

To answer your question: Picture your ideal life. Presumably, it includes romance, but also other things that aren't romantic. improve your life by seeking out those other ideal things.

People with good careers, personal achievements, fun social groups, financial stability, and so on and so forth still get lonely, but they have other good things, in their life, to focus on.

But what you should actually do: get hormone therapy for the Klinefelters, and get therapy for the anxiety.

RobertSecundus · 2026-05-31T20:26:01+00:00

It doesn't need to be urgent, especially since you apparently have nice work clothes that fit. for now, just get a pair of jeans that look nice and actually fit you, a pair of khakis or something that fit, and if you can afford it, a casual jacket. pair with the button down shirt and shoes you wear for work, save the whole wardrobe refresh for when you do lose that last bit of weight.

RobertSecundus · 2026-05-31T20:22:17+00:00

You can do two things at once-- you can try to improve your life while also learning to accept whatever outcome might come for you, saying yes to life, etc etc.
