For a sec there I thought it was a post from the Onion

This reminds me of the time I got my first 160hz monitor. Games felt buttery smooth. Like there was some friction that I never thought was present was magically gone. Days later I found out that the monitor was set at a whooping 60Hz in the settings.

My quick pickle recipe:

Vinegar + Water in equal proportions, and whatever spices you like.

Boil it and turn the stove off.

Put in the sliced cucumbers , onions, and whatever else you need to pickle.

After a few minutes it’s ready to be used.

Cool off the solution afterwards and put it in fridge for storage.

I wanted to be a theoretical physicist. Somehow ended up running a small AI company. Money is nice but I still think of persuing my dream once I have enough saved up.

I am watching Futurama or rather stopped watching at the third episode of this season. Is it just me or has the show taken a dip in the quality?

I feel like something fundamental to the show is missing this season.

While others have answered your question, I just wanted to go on a tangent and add to some of the same frustration that you felt.

I hate hand holding in this game. I feel like missions trap you into playing a certain way. You have to treat the missions like they are an interactive movie experience. But otherwise, the open world exploration is fun.

For future, If you really like freedom but also need some goals and story and not just a sandbox, I would recommend trying either legend of zelda botw or totk. I think you can emulate BOTW on steamdeck.

If you can take some punishment then Elden Ring is also a great choice.

I hope that you can enjoy this game though.

My man wrote a whole essay to start a casual conversation lol.

Anyways to answer: fountain pens. I got some cheap chinese ones from Ali Express, the company is Jinhao. A really good bang for your buck. You can get a pretty good one under 10 bucks these days…

Anyways the appeal of the pens to me lie in how deliberate they feel. You give importance to your writing by using a FP.

Another appeal is the feels of the pen. I have on occassion thrown away ball point pens by pure gut reaction if I accidentally grabbed one.

There are so many. By usage however:

Smart Audiobook Player: None of the apps I tried had all the features in one, like reading my complex audiobooks folder structure and auto grouping the books based on that. Timer to pause audiobook that is automatically reset by moving the phone.

Maps: No foss solutions work better where I live than GMaps

YTMusic: So this is a tough one to beat because of the nature of the platform itself.

Notes: I am looking for a P2P syncable note app that can also have a web interface or atleast a Linux version of the App. Allows drawing your notes on an android phone or tablet using stylus, and other usual features. Can also use cloud storage as a backup or sync source. I know this one is a really tall order.

I can’t say I’ve ever noticed any significant audio quality difference between this and something like Vinyl even on very good headphones.

But I would say that I’ve been trying to find equivalent equilizer functions that this app has on desktop. The bass boost function is the best one I’ve ever used. It even turned my very neutral etymotics er3se into solid thumpers.
