1. Remove screws
2. Pull case open
3. Blow away dust (can of compressed air is best, vacuum works too if you're careful not to whack things)
4. Put case back together
5. Add screws
6. Return to normal

I love jumping into a new/dusty game and finding it so challenging again.
Hopped back into the Witcher and was like 'Ohgeez I remember this being easier'

The New Zelda looks fantastic. ARMORSETS AND LOOTING ENEMY WEAPONS AND COOKING FOOD

Just to add more detail regarding what's been shown

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Game starts with Link waking up from a long slumber in this strange chamber in a ruined Hyrule
-Full Open World
-Freaking huge hyrule with a map made from stitching together all the hyrule maps from throughout the series
-Stealth mechanics
-More complex fighting with parrying and dodges and stuff
-You can steal enemy's weapons. This is extra important because weapon durability is a thing
-Several types of weapons including spears, axes, hammers, and clubs
-There's hunting and gathering and a cooking/potion making system
-You can set grass on fire
-There's swappable clothing and armor. Link's been shown in the trailer wearing a full set of armor (well sans helmet anyways)
-Climbing and swimming
-You can run around in your underwear if you want
-Physics mechanics
-You can throw your weapons
-There's a magnet item that can be used to pick up objects
-So if you want you can throw a weapon, pick it up with the magnet, and then swing it around in midair to hit far away enemies
-There's a timestop spell that can as an example freeze a giant boulder and then you can hit the boulder several times and all the force will be preserved when its unfrozen and so the boulder will be sent flying into the air
-Enemies drop bodyparts and other loot. YOU CAN KNOCK OFF A STALFOS ARM AND BEAT THEM WITH IT
-You can knock over someone and steal their weapon while they're down and then make a run for it.
-You can use axe's to chop down trees to make makeshift bridges
-Link can jump
-There are scattered field bosses.
-You can use the Wolf Link Amiibo to summon Wolf Link as a helper once a day and they will have either three hearts, or as many hearts as link has in your Twilight Princess HD savefile
-There are Koroks
-You can use your shield to surf on the snow
-YOU CAN SHOOT FIRE ARROWS AT THE GROUND TO LIGHT IT ON FIRE, DO A RUNNING LEAP AND OPEN YOUR PARACHUTE SO THE FIRE'S THERMAL UPDRAFT CARRIES YOU INTO THE AIR, AND THEN WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE BOMBARD THE ENEMY WITH ARROWS

The Trailer

The ongoing livestream showing it off

CRAP someone send me a wii u

... I am going to hold this to the standards of the Witcher 3.
If it doesn't deliver, then I am going to personally staple a photo of the late Satoru Iwata to a punching bag and go to town on it.

IT HAS VOICE ACTING. DID YOU NOT LEARN FROM SAMUS?


Edit: oops doublepost sorry

Oh my awesome!

A group presentation project I did has been deemed the best in the year. The others in the group did work, though maybe not a huge amount, but in the main I had to work on it by myself, even doing one of the three's work for them entirely. So now we're going to a prize ceremony for it. Given my awkwardness when standing in front of people, I'm very pleased! 

[scrdest]

IT'S ALL OGRE.

FINALLY. Thesis sent.

inb4 the review comes back negative, but at this particular moment... I'm just glad I got this out of the way for a while.

[TD1]

Congrats! You do biology, right?

[scrdest]

Congrats! You do biology, right?

Thanks! Biotech, but that's basically molecular biology with some other bullshit tacked on.

IT'S ALL OGRE.

FINALLY. Thesis sent.

inb4 the review comes back negative, but at this particular moment... I'm just glad I got this out of the way for a while.

I had a guy in my year who started working on his thesis in February, and in April was like "oh god, I am so fucked, I can't even do a Bradford assay right". Got 10/10 for his work, lucky bugger, even if he had to postpone the defense a few days and shave a few years off his expected lifespan from extreme stress.

By the way, do you get to hear the review before the defense? We didn't, and it's mostly the case that you get the same grade as what the review recommends, as well as hear whatever questions the reviewers have for the very first time.

Anyway, best of luck with the actual defense. Those are fun, and you get to talk about work you know well for a change!

[scrdest]

We don't actually have a defense proper for an undergrad thesis, I believe. Just needs a positive review from the advisor and reviewer, and it's... well, effectively off to the trashcan anyway.

[Harry Baldman]

Huh. Guess they figure making you write the damn thing is torment enough, then.

In that case, hope your reviewer finds it in their heart of hearts to not be a dick.

inb4 scrdest just sent in 100 pages of dickbutt

inb4 he gets 11/10 anyway

Anyway? I wouldn't rate that 11/10 otherwise.

This morning I had to drive my car to a repair shop pretty far from my home. I was going to have to walk back, but, by chance, my neighbour was leaving with his repaired car just as I walked out of the shop. He offered me a ride home. Hooray for luck supporting my laziness!

[Putnam]

ten mile over we'll be there and WE'LL BE FAST
