Gregory's Server"Remembering when it's faun or fawn" is right up there with "How to spell parallel (or rather how to stop spelling it)" on my list of Language Things That Dan Has Made His Peace With Never Quite Grasping

 Folk are liking how good home depot plywood can look after rubbing with this wax, and I agree. That's what my wood normally looks like after three coats of poly, three hours apart. I'm liking this wax. I bloody well should be, considering it costs FORTY FIVE DOLLARS A CAN (to be fair to it though, I used maybe a twentieth of the can for the whole TV stand, so this'll last me bloody years) Here's the wax, for those asking. Made in Kent so imported here, so back home it's probably cheap as chips lol *big Dad Wiring sigh* Right, one component input on the telly, 3 HDMI's on the amp, one HDMI to component switcher, wanna split the sound off through the amp of course... Resi 2 time! But where's the PlayStation? And what's that lurking under there next to the amp? It's the Game Dad! This whole thing was secretly a #gameDad project! Now I got video, I got sound, and if y'all will kindly recommend a decent Linux-compatible Bluetooth controller from your own personal firsthand experience, Project Big Dad will be complete :D Me, playing Raiden 2 quite happily until the MAME devs put more effort into emulating the copy protection, more perfectly emulating its ability to know it's a bootleg and crash, killing the game for years: 🦝 This is a retro-gaming elitism thing isn't it Me, two decades later, trying to connect a controller: 🦝 This is a retro-gaming elitism thing isn't it I work in coin-ops, I want my controls to break because a rat chewed through a wire or someone puked on it, I don't want it to break because the software got too complicated and tripped over its own arse Like how is this hard it's 2024 for heck's sake, I thought we had joysticks pretty much sorted out in the 70's Look at this crap, I only had access to the wiring through holes the size of cassette tapes Still easier than RetroArch You see what I had to squeeze my hands into here, STILL EASIER THAN RETROARCH The phases of owning a #gameDad are curiosity, delight, finally getting over your awe and actually playing some games, fiddling, frustration, satisfaction, finally getting over the fiddling and actually playing some games, fiddling some more, |
So last time the fawn visited, it was gone by they time I picked the kid up. So I didn't tell her about it, didn't want her disappointed that she'd missed it.
This time, I clocked it were still there from the road, told her it was a special day and she had to be quiet and smooth and slow and not go any closer than me, and we went and saw the fawn.
THEN, we went and saw the baby robins.
THEN, while we were watching the robins, we heard movement, and there was the mum, up the hill, with the fawn around her feet.
"Wow," I whispered to her, "Quiet fawn, didn't hear him going up the hill."
So then we got our bikes down and took them past the original fawn FEDI THERE ARE TWO FAWNS
