Every time I try to do this I burn my onions.

In I’m sure TOTALLY unrelated news I’m also getting screened for ADHD…

I’m also there – hunting upgrades and doing shrines. But I’m kinda bored so I’m taking a Pikmin break.

Pikmin! I love me some Pikmin, I was so excited they finally ported it to Switch. I was legit keeping my Wii around not for any wii games, but for the sake of having a console that could run some of my favorite Gamecube games – Pikmin, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime. Now all I need is for them to port Wind Waker and Metroid Prime 2 and I can get rid of the wii.

I dunno that I’d rank it worse than GoT myself but I did really hate that ending.

Honestly between Lost, BSG, and GoT I’m kinda burned on endings generally. I can’t really think of a show that isn’t a super short limited series that I’m like, that ending was great!

The classic hobby drama: Hobby has a surge in popularity, Very Small Business bites off way more than they can chew, Very Small Business collapses and/or ghosts while owing people a bunch of money/product.

Plastic back and a removable/user replaceable battery.

Yeah yeah I know it “feels cheap” but honestly I LIKED when phones were made of more plastic. Now they’re heavier and both sides are breakable. Like, the metal backs were fine, but apparently metal backs suck for NFC and wireless charging so instead of giving us some classy Nokia Lumia style plastic they went with glass backs.

Also I keep my phone in a case because otherwise the back is so smooth it shoots off the couch if someone walks across my apartment. It’s legit only in the case to add some friction.

I honestly think social media platform algorithms like Facebook/Insta/Twitter have actually trained us to do it more, too. Basically they’re optimized for whatever keeps eyeballs on their platforms longest and it turns out that generating outrage is an easy way to do that, so they prioritize showing you stuff that’s gonna get you to engage by pissing you off and/or making you feel self-righteous. And then that 1. makes people think that’s just how people act cos that’s what gets put in front of them and 2. encourages that behavior because it does numbers.

I’ve quit twitter twice (made it stick the second time) because no matter how hard I try, whenever I end up engaging I end up with people sniping at me and eventually I start sniping back. It just encourages me to be my worst self and it sucks.

I’m a little bit of an outlier because I pretty much only like uniform keycap profiles, but I’ve been really happy with my Akko doubleshot PBT keycaps. I’m using Akko ASA low profile keycaps on both my work and home boards and they’re great. The profile is very similar to XDA.

Akko definitely makes some sets with mac mod keys, tho I think not all of them.

I just got mine off Amazon because I was lazy and wanted fast shipping. :P

kprepublic sent me a shipping notification with a fake tracking number (so I couldn’t cancel my order anymore) and then waited until I emailed them to tell me the stuff I ordered was out of stock and wouldn’t ship for 2-3 months. I ended up having to file a chargeback.

I’ve had better luck with KBDFans for cheapie keycaps.
