  • I absolutely adored a low budget game called Firewatch. It’s first person and your only contact with another human is through a radio. You’re running away from your life and work for a summer in a fire watch tower in a national park.

    The story is nice and the characters are interesting and flawed and relatable.

    Buy it on sale and have a fun evening or two with it.


  • Glow in the dark filament is shit for glowing more than a minute. It’s like the cheapest toys you had as a kid.

    But they illuminate constantly if you shine a UV (or IR?) LED on them, and you generally don’t see the LED light nearly as much.

    So my vote is a bigger project with an LED in the base that keeps whatever you print lit up and looking spooky green for hours.

    If you don’t want to crush them with the side of a knife to loosen the peels (it works great but then the squashed garlic is hard to hold if you’re grating it), a trick I saw was to chop the bottoms off the cloves and then throw them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. The skins start to fall right off and peel like magic.
