Ben Hoad

Finally published my latest blog post benhoad.net/2020-03-lego-h… It's following my year long project to make a magic (and IoT) powered @LEGO_Group Hogwarts Express. #HarryPotter #LEGO #IoT #Arduino #3dprinting

@brooke_jamieson Orange oil to remove sticker residue 👌

ok devrel hivemind: has anyone found a sticker manufacturer that can make stickers that don't leave a residue? I need to get a sticker printed to cover the apple logo on my new computer, but I do not want it to be a nightmare to remove

@benhoad You’re forgetting about the best case scenario ben (when the goal is to ideate and formulate more goals)

posting without comment lol

@brooke_jamieson “What’s the goal of the project?” “To have a capability” *internal screaming*

@TheElk801 @brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 @RetroGameCorps Came back to say I did mange to get it working on a moto g85 - runs perfect 👌 albeit I’m not sure if it’s possible to configure direct touch input, controller input only afaik

@benhoad @brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 @RetroGameCorps whoops meant to say rp6

I want to buy a steamdeck but am having a hard time finding where to buy. And one have any leads to where they're in stock? (Online or NYC)

@brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 Australia still has stock; pic unrelated

@Jonnymagic00 Remember you want an oled one!

@TheElk801 @brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 @RetroGameCorps Retroid Pocket 2? Miiiiight be ok given it’s an adreno GPU - my test was with an older snapdragon and mediatek tablets

@benhoad @brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 @RetroGameCorps damn, hoping it works on my rp2 when it arrives

@TheElk801 @brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 @RetroGameCorps It’s 50:50 depending on device (via GameSir GameHub and winlator)

@brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 @RetroGameCorps @benhoad interesting, I’m seeing positive reports (emuready.com/games/fe7c45f8…) but yeah I guess it’s not quite all the way there yet

@boyter @brooke_jamieson Yeah travelling with it is a good point >_>

@brooke_jamieson @benhoad Id still get the deck, its likely to be working on it soon enough and you can take him outside with it too. Win win!

Hello PC people: should Jon get an ASUS ROG Flow Z13 or a surface pro to play slay the spire 2? (I do not play the game and have not bought a PC for 15 years so I don’t know what I’m looking at, but I love my husband and I want to help him live his truth)

@brooke_jamieson @boyter The other option is running sunshine/moonlight to stream from his big pc (needs decent wifi/networking) or using the SteamLink app assuming the pc game has touch controls.

@benhoad @boyter The spire can’t be slayed on an iPad yet (v2 was only just released in beta and Jon has been playing on his pc but his laptop is massive/not very portable and he’s too used to a touch screen)

@brooke_jamieson @boyter Second for steam deck oled (if they’re able to be sourced atm) failing that is there a reason why you wouldn’t consider a newer/larger iPad?

@boyter I think the screen might be too small for the UI (he’s used to an iPad with a much bigger screen) but worth a try

@brooke_jamieson Install parental controls >_>

Just going to communicate with him via generated screenshots from now on

Update: @Jonnymagic00 finally downloaded Slay the Spire 2, I expect I won’t see him for a week @MegaCrit can you please add a feature so I can send him messages in the game? He’s not going to check his phone

@riumplus ❤️💩💩

Why isn't "Lovescats" a valid last name like Lovejoy or Lovecraft?

Thats in Brisbane and it's a Royal Australian Air Force aircraft

@mike_hasarms Naïve to labour laws.

Anyone older than me is a dinosaur. A fossil that just hasn't found its place in the ground yet. Anyone younger than me is a baby, naïve to the world.

@awsdevelopers We already know which AWS Services we are (and receive zero contributions in return)

First time I’ve had someone attempt to scam/phish using calendar invites. Looks to be spoofing @ccsdga emails.

so THATS why Discord wants everyone’s IDs
