That was hard to read but I'm glad I did. It's obvious you loved him very much. I'm so sorry, OP

I have to know - was this in Knoxville?

And Ada

Hah, did you see the lizard with that name here?

Oh my GOODNESS I want a Lumatone so badly! I thought I had invented isomorphic keyboards one day in the shower, but when I searched my idea up I learned that people have been clever long before me

Eyyy, Minus the Bear!! I've always loved the P.O.S redo of Drilling, takes me right back to myspace :)

Had the strangest sensation while listening to this. Right at 56s I was hit with the taste of watermelon taffy. No clue why

I really like this! Thank you! I'm surprised it's from 1990

Hey thanks for the suggestion! I really dig that song!

I think TTRRUUCES - Sensations of Cool (youtube links incoming) hits this prompt pretty perfectly, especially the dream-like quality of the video

Same for Jon Worthy - Please Tell Me

A few more that are close but not quite perfect:

TTRRUUCES - TTRRUUCES

Hiatus Kaiyote - Red Room

Hiatus Kaiyote - And We Go Gentle

Robotaki - All I Can Do

I'm looking forward to listening to the other suggestions, I've listened to a few of them and so far they've been great!

That's a dang good cat. Sorry your day's going poorly, OP. You made my day a little brighter with this photo though :) Thank you

Hah! I use my mf01s every night when I go to bed. I turn on candle mode, give it a timer, and drift to sleep. It's an incredibly expensive night light but I love it

The biggest thing for me was learning, remembering, and using people's names. This may not be helpful for everyone (and that's okay), but it helped me be a more confident person in social situations.

Growing up I was painfully shy and awkward, but I had fantastic semantic memory and always did well on tests in school (does this sound like you?). One day, after I heard someone say "I'm terrible with names, sorry if I forget yours", I decided to heck with it! I'm going to be good with names! If I can memorize pi to however many digits, I can memorize that many names of human beings.

And it helped me :) People like it when you remember their name, and they like you more for using it. For me, unfamiliar things are scary, but knowing someone's name makes them a familiarity. Plus, there's a devilish part of me that delights in remembering someone's name who clearly doesn't remember mine. I always offer it easily, to not embarrass them. But it's a reminder that everyone's out here struggling to make connections just as much as I am - and I can handle it.

Ps: it's nice if you can let the person see you learn their name. It can feel creepy for a person to know your name without you telling them. If you learn someone's name without them telling you, all you gotta do is hit them with a "your name's Alex, right? Got it, thanks! I'm Daniel" and then you're covered

Woah, you're on OG! I'm unfamiliar with a lot of those things and had to look them up. Crazy!

Hah! ISE - I used that for a hot second, and you still see tutorials using it as well.

My goodness, tell me about it, I'm new and I already find myself frustrated with Xilinx sometimes. It feels like there are very few resources from them for learning, but I thought that was just because it's a niche subject. I'll have to take a look at Efinix. I guess I thought it was safer to stick to the biggest name while I'm trying to get established. At the moment I'm trying to get some example projects working on a Zybo Z7. I'm finding out that it's a lot to take in

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I feel strangely honored to hear from such an OG :) Cheers!

Hey! Can I ask you about that? What type of chips? What are your most used skills/technologies and what helped get started when you were new? I want to work with fpgas, and I'd love to know what your experience with that has been like

Thank you!

I've heard many glowing reviews with this same sentiment. In order to avoid most spoilers, may I ask you here - if I didn't enjoy Undertale, would I still like this? I didn't enjoy the metagaming that undertale did, making fun of the player for reloading a save. It felt dishonest. Does Inscryption also do this?

I had a similar experience, Op. I was in traffic as it crawled by an accident, and I saw a man giving violent chest compressions to another man in the street. The motocycle was nearby, smashed. I learned later that he passed right there. 21 years old.

The same question you have nagged at me - did I witness the moment he passed? I spent time looking at the text I sent before I started driving, calculating when I would have driven by, comparing it to when first responders said they got there.

I've decided it doesn't matter if I was there to see his death. A man died. His name was Miles. I found news reports about him later, and he seemed like a good guy. A firefighter. Well liked. That's what matters.

Sorry about your mom, op. That ain't easy.

The only thing I would say is if you have siblings, cousins, nieces/nephews, check with them to see if they can make use of any of it. Knowing members of my family got those things was worth way more to me than whatever I could have sold them for.

Good luck

That's a beauty - stoked for you!
