What's your half circle success rate

Actually forget what I said about calluses being good. As a proponent of safe and healthy gaming, I will say that you should be taking regular and frequent breaks, doubly so if you feel start feeling sore or like your eyes are tired. A ringing in your ear means that damage has been caused: turn the sound down immediately! Inspect your eyeballs: traces of red indicate that you’ve overstepped your gaming limit and should consider more responsible gaming in the future. Any cricks or pains in your muscles also serve as a warning: your natural gaming position might need adjusting. This can usually be solved by moving your gaming peripherals closer or further away from you, or your chair or couch might be too high or too low, too close or too far from your desk or TV. If in doubt, shut the game down and go for a walk and think about games from afar

Stay safe out there!

I know people modify their joycons to add a dpad or w/e but that's too much effort and I hope they announce an actual official controller with one at some point

I remember beating Wolf3D with just a keyboard.

Right hand on the arrow keys, left hand horizontal.
Palm for space to open, index for ctrl to shoot, rshift to run. Somehow beat all six episodes like that. I tried going back to it just to see and I cannot believe what I was thinking!!

The reason I managed to avoid getting saddled with mountains of student debt was that my parents took out a loan for it instead. But my dad is terrible at managing money so after a decade the principal has barely been paid down and in his old age he's just stopped paying all of his debts and hoping to outrun the consequences in death

This sorta happened to me where my dad was the cosignor and I was just paying them off at a snails pace. Then my dad died and my mom got a letter about a student loan that nobody recognized. So she called Navient to say "hey what's up with this, my husband died recently and nobody knows what this loan is for"

Immediately they called me and said "Well one of the fine print terms is that if the cosignor dies, the primary lendee must pay the full amount immediately" and all I could respond with was :lol:

I found out about a cool surgery yesterday where if your jaw joints are hosed and need to be replaced, they can just surgically remove your second toes and surgically attach them to the jaw to work as replacement joints.

There's that other surgery where a person's tooth is placed into their eyeball in order to give them vision again.

I forget how the gently caress that one works.

quote:

Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) (also known as "tooth in eye" surgery[1]) is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients. It includes removal of a tooth from the patient or a donor.[2] After removal, a lamina of tissue cut from the tooth is drilled and the hole is fitted with optics. The lamina is grown in the patients' cheek for a period of months and then is implanted upon the eye.
