What is a float tank

[LordBaal]

That thing Homer gets stuck in a episode of the Simpson. A sense privation chamber I think is called. You are laid down with water up to your ears in what's basically a sound proof coffing of sorts where you get to be alone with all voices in your head.

You can't see anything, or hear anything (besides your circulatory system I guess) and can't feel anything but the water, but remaining quiet should minimise the sensation I wonder.

[Yoink]

Yeah, that's what I assumed. A sensory deprivation tank or whatever the actual name for 'em is.   
A trusty tool of government agencies like MKUltra in their tireless quest to unlock and harness the telekinetic abilities of humankind.   

[LordBaal]

Ah rigth, I should have said: "that water thing they put the bald girl of strangers things on season one"

A far more current example.

[Yoink]

Haha, yeah. Though I'm sure there have been plenty more examples over the years, since otherwise how did I know what one was?
I don't believe I ever saw that Simpsons episode. Unless... *gasp* I'm actually the mind-wiped survivor of a top-secret telepathy/telekinesis experiment?!    

[LordBaal]

Try to move something with your mind. Depending on the ammount of noise blood you'll tell.

A sensory deprivation chamber/float tank sounds interesting

[Frumple]

In short-ish sessions, maybe. Anything particularly prolonged is known to drive humans fairly literally insane, iirc. We're very not wired for tolerance of sensory deprivation, more or less. There's some caveats there, but not many.

Someone on Steam noticed my Steam Discussion post on an error I was getting and it turns out all I needed to do was delete one file!

Now I can beat zombies (and psychopaths) on the head with batons all I want!

What game is this? Sounds interesting

Sounds like Dead Rising.

My horrible writing and lack of organisation might have actually saved my grade today, I had an oral test today and the leacturer asked about a subject she thought I haven't done the homework on, luckily this was actually one that I did but either didn't gave to her or she didn't understand, and it's lucky because if she asked on the subject I actually haven't done them for I wouldn't have a chance, but I did quite well this time.

[Bumber]

There's one in A Cure for Wellness (2016). Eels nipping at the protagonist while he's inside.

I bought a good-tier trackball.Given that I often move around and I dont always have good desktop space to place both a computer and a mouse tray, I think this will help me in my galactic endeavours.

One of the good ones with the ball on the bottom? Or, better, a laser?

Get out of the way everyone it's mahjong news:

I don't know why, but I always like your mahjong updates. I don't even understand the game, or really want to.

Very few things make me as happy as Stack making kung-fu noises.

Something on Steam was fixable?

The closest to oblivion you can enjoy without being in a medical coma. Mmm...oblivion.

It's a very fun game, it gets my blood pumping and my adrenaline going. After getting that Yakuman though, the next three games... I'll say I have an excellent story idea for Mr. Chuck Tingle, called "Pounded in the Butt by random Chiitoitsu". Chiitoitsu is a 7 Pairs hand, and it's unusual and kinda exotic because it is one of the exceptions to the hand building rules, so you don't see it very often... but in the last 3 games, I got hit by 3 of them, I won 1 myself, and was in tenpai (ready hand) for another 2, and an opponent went to exhaustive draw with one waiting on DORA SEVEN SOU (the greedy fucker!) for around 7 chiitoitsu sightings. Just pairs pairs pairs, everyone's getting pairs! It's ridiculous!

I have no idea what any of that means, but it sounds interesting

I did my first beekeeping lesson yesterday.

Bees are actually quite fascinating. I remember as a child devouring magazines and books in the school library about insects and invertebrates. It seems I never lost an interest, just forgot I had it.
