Alacran@mander.xyzto Steam Deck•Steam Summer Sale starts tomorrow: What's on your wishlist for the Steam Deck?4·2 years agoI am playing it right now! It was at 20% sale a few days ago. Don’t know if it’ll get even more discounted later.
It is nearly perfect for the deck. I only have a small grievance with moving things in the inventory. It takes a long while to step through the slots. But maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Alacran@mander.xyzto Chat@beehaw.org•How do y'all feel about writing things by hand?English3·2 years agoI enjoy writing by hand, but I do look forward to a good e-ink device (Products like the remarkable have a subscription model and it’s closed hardware and software, which is a big negative to me). Waiting to see how projects like PineNote evolve.
For now I just write on which ever notebook is closest to me. The act of writing is more important than actually storing information somewhere outside of my head.
Alacran@mander.xyzto Astronomy@mander.xyz•JWST Just Dropped Its First, Raw Images of Saturn And We're Totally Gobsmacked6·2 years agoThis is just a teaser and I’m looking forward to the finished images.
However it always amazes me how disappointingly non-detailed pictures of planets can be even on the most powerful telescopes. Because they’re that far away! It takes something like Cassini going all the way there to give us a better look.
That said, the most powerful view of Saturn for me was the one I saw with my own eyes through a local telescope. It was just a little blurry thing but just actually seeing it there with the ring shape with my own eyes was indescribable.
Alacran@mander.xyzto Ask Kbin@kbin.social•What’s a place from your childhood that doesn’t exist anymore?1·2 years agoA roundabout in my home city was turned into an elevated 4-way intersection. It wasn’t an improvement. When I visualize the city I always see the roundabout. It was there all my life.
Alacran@mander.xyzto Ask Kbin@kbin.social•What's your favorite movie/serie/TV show opening credit ?2·2 years agoAs soon as I read this, the song started playing automatically in my head. Along with most of the visual sequences, and Richard Dean Anderson’s smile.

Alacran@mander.xyzto Geography@mander.xyz•The Nile is the world’s longest river? The Amazon would like a word.English4·2 years agoThings I learned from this:
- Measuring a river is nowhere as trivial as I had assumed it would be.
- Some people have surprisingly strong feelings about which river is longest.
That was a ride, thanks for sharing :D
Alacran@mander.xyzto Autism@lemmy.world•I'm curious - Do you folks like weight on your body (people, animals, weighted blankets on top of you)English2·2 years agoI am continuously surprised that some people sleep under a single blanket. This is not a custom where I’m from. I wouldn’t be able to relax!
This actually sounds like a good way to deal with it.
What would a conspiracy community be about? Done right, I get the relationship between a science interest and a ‘skeptic’ interest, though I find it’s not often done right.
However my impression of ‘conspiracy’ is a strange paranoia that has nothing to do with science, and sometimes goes directly against. What kind of topics would be there?
