Terra Invicta – Phase One

Scopique October 2, 2022

Terra Invicta popped up on my radar sometime about two weeks ago, and I could not stop thinking about it. I am generally a fan of grand strategy, but I’ve played Crusader Kings, and I’ve played Stellaris, and I wanted something that…

Solutions of Recursion

Scopique September 26, 2022

Ugh. I don’t know why this problem became a problem, or why I went after the most obvious yet least approachable solution out of the gate. Here’s my basic testing data: And here’s what I want it to look like (a subset):…

Something Simple – Mounting the StreamDeck

Scopique September 17, 2022

I do not have the best simpit around, but I am comfortable with it. I have more or less stopped using GameGlass mostly because it’s very slow and uses a lot of “toggle state” controls yet receives no feedback from Star Citizen…

Dumbassery Intensifies

Scopique August 16, 2022

Still kind of on my 3D printing kick, except for two roadblocks. The first is that I’m out of resin. I spilled what little I had (into a safety bucket) when attempting to empty the printing vat back into the resin container.…

Adventures in 3D Printing

Scopique August 1, 2022

My daughter, who is down at Otakon as we speak, asked me if our ancient 3D printer could print her out some items for one of her cosplays. Unfortunately, I had attempted to repair it last year when the filament feeder got…

Hobbies, And the People Who Hate Them

Scopique July 31, 2022

I guess “hate” is too strong a word, but it provides the emotional punch necessary in a title designed to get people to read the post. In my Old Age I have been spending less time playing video games, and more time…

Agony and More Agony – Home Server Setup

Scopique June 26, 2022

This past week, I have been trying to set up a home server. This whole thing started when I had been talking with my boss about the server he has in his home (Synology DS920+ specifically) and all of the cool things…

Dice Dice Baby

Scopique June 20, 2022

Because there are more projects that I haven’t gotten to than those which I have, last December I came across an Instagram add for silicone dice molds and thought, “that’s what I want to do with my free time!”. What I got…

Update on the Quest 2

Scopique February 23, 2022

It’s been a few weeks since I got the *ahem* Meta Quest 2 *ahem*, so here’s a bit of an update in long form about how it’s been going. Upgrading the Experience Out of the box, I didn’t have any real issues…

reMarkable 2 eInk Note Taking Tablet

Scopique November 3, 2021

My reMarkable 2 eInk tablet arrived whole 2 days early! Let’s take a look! The packaging is pretty much standard for tech these days. A lot of nice slip-cover wrappers, boxes with pull tabs, and everything sitting a convenient and snug little…
