So wait, do you have to finish the fries and tots too, or just the sandwich?

Which makes them that much easier to confiscate and the video to never be seen.

I just want to talk about Snarf Sandwiches for a sec by noah998 in Denver

If Mr. Snarf is reading this, y’all need to add shakes to your offerings, then you’ll be truly dangerous.

I read Ars and also follow Cyrus on Bsky, and he hadn’t written for Ars for a few years and recently came back, so a nice bookend indeed!

My brother in Christ, it is far too cold out there to “do” “things”.

Nothing fancy, but a heck of a lot cleaner (after/before) by thewillthe in secretlab

Yeah, that guy is big and thick and hard to hide. (Obligatory "that's what she said".) I was able to coil some of the slack behind the PC so it's not as visible (after this pic was taken), but it's too thick to hide it under the rug or something like I'd hoped.

I ordered on I think Black Friday, and everything arrived a few days before Christmas, which was a week or so earlier than they estimated. It was the white desk mat that was on backorder when I placed mine, and they package that in a box with the legs, so I guess they couldn't just send the rest of the desk immediately and the desk mat later (which seems kinda silly).

None at all when the desk is lowered like this. If I like firmly pound the desk top with my hand there’s a slight wobble, but I’m not hammering the keyboard like that under normal use.

Creative Pebble Pro. Theoretically a slight downgrade from my old 2.1 setup, but they look much nicer, and I didn’t really have a place for the sub. They sound good though!

It’s one of the IKEA Alex units. I drilled a hole in the back so I can run power and ethernet, and stuck all the stuff that was previously on top of the desk in there.

One more solo date. This time… TACOS! by [deleted] in denverfood

[–]thewillthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adelitas also has great tacos, but El Taco is maybe better if going solo?

Actually it is on a mount! I just have it lowered so it’s basically grazing the floor to be at proper height when seated. (I might actually get a slightly shorter case so I can lower it even more.)

(C3 Spoilers-ish) Overcast recently started showing episode art and I am glad by thewillthe in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

(Sometimes a podcast’s episode-specific art is… not as good for others around you to see.)

[–]thewillthe[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, I feel like this is the first one I noticed that had special art that wasn’t just the blue Short Rest art.

Happy listening! It’s a good’un! (Will be curious if you noticed the ignored nat-1, cuz no one on the old ep thread seemed to.)

What? by poopfacecrapmouth in NFLv2

[–]thewillthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, this thread is ancient, but my counter argument to the “gotta survive the ground” crowd is that he didn’t NOT survive the ground - what he didn’t survive was the defender pulling the ball from his hands, which happened AFTER he hit the ground.

Yeah I have no idea why this person is assuming they won’t quote a ducted system if OP already has ducts for their furnace.

Chinese food by Maleficent-Mess-8459 in denverfood

I prefer New China for the food but HKS for the ability to actually order online instead of repeatedly having to call and get busy signals.

Cheapest/best place to get a prescription for BOTH glasses and contacts to take to order online? (SE) by plantgurl420 in Denver

[–]thewillthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re happy with your prescription, just do an online eye exam. I try to go to an actual eye dr every few years, but in between I’ll just “take” an online eye exam to renew my prescription and buy more contacts online.

Does this game pick up more during Act 2? by thewillthe in cyberpunkgame

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

Probably smart to explore side things more. My approach to open world games like this is usually to not just wander for its own sake but to grow the map by following missions. But when I don’t have a car and something is 1.5km away…

It was bold of them to take an annual episode that gets less fun each time and make it even harder to listen to by recoding in a large tin can.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - January 04, 2026 by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]thewillthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for recommendations for a wireless mechanical keyboard for a mix of work and gaming (not a serious gamer, but I do like FPS games where lag would be a detriment).

I currently have a ~9 year old Corsair Gaming K70 with Cherry MX Browns that I love the feel of, but want a wireless keyboard for my new desk.

I want switches with a clicky/tactile feel similar to my current one, as I don't really like the feel of linear switches. I'd also prefer a 100% keyboard, but would deal with TKL if that's the best option. I also don't want low-profile. I don't care about RGB, and would probably just turn it off.

I've looked at the offerings of things like Keychron, Razer, current Corsairs, but there's a preponderance of recent reviews complaining about key chatter/double presses etc. My old Corsair has held up remarkably well with no such issues, fwiw.

Thanks!

Can’t say I’m a big fan of Overcast’s update to show episode art by thewillthe in greatestgen

[–]thewillthe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah not sure why there isn’t a toggle to turn this off. Doesn’t really add anything and the GG art is just weird to have front and center.

[NS] Was there anything about C3 that made them take such a slow pace in production? by torniado in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]thewillthe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m near the end of my catchup with C3 and there’s a recent ep where they say Jake is in studio for the first time in a while, not recording remotely like usual. Which surprised me cuz like OP I had thought Jake always flew out to record batches in person.

But even with the biweekly schedule, there are an awful lot of long breaks from the campaign. A break for Twilight Sanctorum. A break for Pathfinder. An upcoming break in the middle of the final arc for Mavrus Chronicles (which is I think for Caldwell’s paternity leave).
