At long last a break

Finally back in Sweden for a bit, really need that after not having had a proper break since the preparations for the experiments started early this year, and the weather is a lot better than the German furnace that I escaped. My co-workers keep saying I can't handle the heat, but none of them biked 8 km to work in that temperature like I did, plus another 10+ km for chores on the way home. I like punishing myself, what can I say :p It's also nice to be back in a recognizable setting after the rather strange learning experiences I had this spring, gotta nerd myself back in shape. About half of what I brought back was food-related, but I managed to fit in some clothes too...

So, the plan is to figure out what I want to do with myself, play more violin, continue on the origami dragon puzzle, have a go at fixing a dishwasher, and possibly play around with some simple coding ideas. I should pretend to be a sack of potatoes every now and then too.

Enough of this, time for my first vacation sleep, the sky is still bright up here in the North :)

Slap some cyberpunk on it

I always liked CD Projekt Red, good old GOG. I could never get into The Witcher (didn't play it for long, tried for a few minutes, uninstalled :p ), and although I looove sci-fi I cannot quite enjoy the Cyberpunk 2077 trailers. Looks like the standard gameplay shine fest which means it won't need the theme for the plot. GTA with new wallpaper and lots of piercing? Maybe it'll be great, I'll try to be optimistic. As for positive things, the tech and fan service is on point! Also, Deus Ex (the first one), good stuff.

Mauler and his gang are great, with a pinch of salt as always. Supposedly controversial content, but I learn more from them than other reviewers I've watched so far. It's great to see people who put a lot of thought and time (looking forward to the full 10+ hrs series on TFA) into figuring things out. Plus even though they go straight to the point about what's done which some take the wrong way, they wish for things to improve.

So I did it, I found an inexpensive way to get the SKX009J1. The SARB035 looks amazing in photos and in real life, but the SKX looks much better in real life than it does in photos or videos. If you're on the fence, get one.

And another thing I did, I started the huge origami project! Doing small parts with printer paper to figure out some important parts before I ravage the real paper, tricky stuff...
