I'm setting up a plex server and I've got to the point where everything is installed + configured + I can see the server from other devices but it's claiming to be offline even though it isn't and this means I need to dig into router bullshit and I'd honestly rather skin myself with an apple peeler.

TO DO LIST
1. Make 4x MtG decks for teaching new friends next weekend
2. Dye some of the new super opaque white filament I just got
3. Start setting up new Plex server
4. Clean apartment
5. Work on videogame plan
6. Work on graphic design project
7. Trim aquarium plants

DOING LIST
Playing Balatro 🫠

In today's hobby adventures:

This is eSun white PLA+, dyed in iDye Poly Turquoise dye at 55C for 30min, 2.5hr and 5 hours

Swatch tile is from an earlier batch, dyed the same colour at 55C for 30min (with manually agitated water), printed after drying for 48 hours in a PolyDryer

Finally set up the BambuLabs P1S I bought in the New Year's sale 🥳

The cats are both completely unfazed by it even when it's loudly and aggressively printing a tiny pink Benchy

Good video about the current state of aphantasia research (although it doesn't really cover the senses other than vision - aphantasia isn't just for visual imagination, you can be aphantasic for any/all senses. For example I have complete aphantasia including minor senses like pain and hot/cold)

Is there a (probably German) word for 'finding victory within defeat'?

Asking because I just managed to fit my rowing machine inside my wardrobe

I know there's 'pyrrhic victory', but I want the opposite of that

Me after 1 hour of Balatro: Photograph triggering off face cards is bad game design because it means I have to plan the order of every single hand

Me after 275 hours of Balatro: Photograph triggering off face cards is great game design because it means I have to plan the order of every single hand

V1 Switch (left) vs. V1 Switch with SUPER7 OLED (middle) vs. OLED Switch (right)

Now that I have an OLED Switch Lite, I finally have an actual excuse to carry my game collection around in my wallet with me. Very happy with how this little art/tech project turned out.

Luigi is my favorite Mario bros character. Some people might balk at that and wring their hands, but Luigi is a hero. More people should be like Luigi. The Mario Bros character.

These images light up the same part of my brain

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

(frankenstein is the doctor voice) well actually you're playing super mario 64 from the lakitu's perspective, making it a second-person platformer.

This could be us, but you playing

Getting hyped to watch a movie by watching a different movie

i kinda miss not being able to afford games bc it forced me to play the ones i already owned

Okay that first post might set expectations too high for how I'm normally going to post here, so let's recalibrate a bit:

Just went to look up the opening hours for the cemetary across the road from my apartment, and they appear to have used The Sims or something similar to generate images of the cemetary.

I don't know how I am supposed to feel about this.
