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…

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…

Grab Bag for October 28, 2021

Scopique October 28, 2021

New World As if this wasn’t a surprise, I think I’m done with New World. There comes a time in all games when the tutorial-ness of the situation wears off and all that stretches before me is the actual game. I really…

Note Taking With Technology

Scopique October 12, 2021

I’m one of those weird people who really like stationary: pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, the whole nine yards. When I was younger I used to do a lot of writing and because it was well before modern computing that meant I had…

Hey, HOSAS – Hands On Stick and Stick for Space Sims

Scopique January 31, 2021

I’ve been meting this out on Twitter, but I am at a point now where this subject deserves it’s own post. Last week — on my birthday, no less — my trusty Saitek/Logitech X-52Pro died. I had just reinstalled Elite Dangerous, as…
