A brain transplant is one of those rare cases where you’d rather be the donor than the recipient. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

If full body transplants become possible, the most obvious way forward is growing bodies in vats. When you hit 30 or 40, you start up a new body using your own DNA and swap over at age 50 or 60.

It sold for $970 in 1993! Only sold 10,000 units. Really curious what these games were.

OK, But Who Is Inverting Their Horizontal Controls? in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] Bilbo@hobbit.world 3 points 2 months ago

I used to invert x and y. But at some point I realized that all modern games seem to support non-inverted, but only some support inverted on both axes, so I just learned to play non-inverted to save myself the hassle.

What else can i do to not be depressed? in c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world
[–] Bilbo@hobbit.world 5 points 4 months ago

I play video games while exercising. Switch controllers in either hand while walking on a treadmill works really well.

I haven't been depressed in a while, but I found extreme cardio to be a really good mood lifter, especially when playing a fun game.

I would also recommend avoiding triggers. News is mental poison. I have no idea what is happening in the world and I am substantially happier as a result.

Is there a way to hold a canvas solidly in place without covering the edges? (hobbit.world)
 

I'm thinking of an easel with a way to screw into the back of the canvas so it hovers in place giving access to all sides.

Or maybe a reverse clamp that pushes against the inner edges of the back of the canvas that connects to an easel.

The problem is that when I paint the bottom of a canvas I need to wait for the top to dry and then flip it. Or I need to hang the canvas, but it isn't held solidly in place.
