I have a Mobile Pixels one, it’s certainly been a big help. Power and picture from the same USB-C cable. It was kind of hard to install (have to adhesive on some magnets correctly, glue wasn’t too great, I recently replaced them with some other adhesives I bought online, worked good so far).

For the most part it doesn’t give me any issues, does what I want of it, but if I have one complaint it’s that when I’m playing a game that uses my laptop’s graphics card, I will usually have to unplug and replug the screen back in because it begins fizzling out like it’s losing power or signal. Functions fine after though. It’s slightly annoying but not that big a deal.

Overall I don’t regret my purchase, I just wish it was a bit more polished with an easier and more reliable mounting process and not fizzling out when I play intense games.

Gorilla warfare is the Navy Seals one, under a different name.

I’ve heard it pointed out before that these kids were living on World War 2 rations and, regardless of the quality of Turkish Delight under normal circumstances, it probably tastes a heck of a lot better when you’ve been eating mostly meat, cheese, and preserves for the last however long (though in Googling it, I see they did get SOME sweets in rations).

The main thing that keeps me from reinstalling and trying to play Skyrim again is the thought of having to do Bleak Falls Barrow for the billionth time. Yeah, I could mod around it, but I just don’t care enough to figure out how for a game I pretty much always play through the first few hours of and then drop for another three years anyways.

No, no, I know these guys. It’s just the Goodfeathers. Watch, one of the ones on the left is gonna start beating up the one on the right in a little cartoonish dust cloud kind of thing. Hilarious.

The Throne of the Gods…

A friend of mine went to the thrift store and sent me a picture of a really weird wooden cat thing with huge doll eyes that stared into your soul. I needed to own it, so I asked them to buy it and I’d pay them back, since it was only a couple dollars. I have no idea what it’s supposed to be, cat is just my closest guess, but I can tell you that, whatever it is, it is now my little buddy. Supremely weird creature, I love it.

I saw you said you like some electronic music, so I’ll throw in Prefuse 73 (or really, any of Scott Heren’s pseudonyms) and Infected Mushroom. Prefuse 73 has some voice samples but is largely electronic/trip-hop, while Infected Mushroom has a decent split between songs with lyrics and songs without, so I recommend just grabbing an album and picking out what works for you.

I can’t prove it, but there’s a florist in my town, definitely still in business, that I have not seen a non-company-branded car in front of in actual years. Morning, noon, and night, never any customers. Never any movement from inside. The only time I ever saw the lights on was in the dead of night. The building is half-claimed by ivy.

If it weren’t for the upkept greenhouse and the sign out front occasionally changing, you’d never know it wasn’t totally abandoned, but it’s still operating. Mob activity is the only way to explain it.
