Yeah. Way too beat from a looooooooooooooong week of work. We'll go live tomorrow.

It's Friday. Finally. Just tinkering with some things. Might stream later if the mood hits me right. We'll see.

Yeah, the needle has definitely gone too far to the other side. I had rotator cuff surgery in 2021, and the doctor only prescribed a couple of 5 mg oxycodone tabs for pain relief. (Which based on my body size would do nothing). The pain was so severe I became borderline suicidal. Just brutal.

Yes. Pain medications, in particular opiates, have to be taken in advance of the pain to really be able to do their job effectively. Once the pain is already set in, they aren't as effective. Also good to keep in touch with your doctor regarding dosing and refills so you don't grow too tolerant.

Reading that gave me painful memories of my rotator cuff surgery when the nerve block wore off. Post-surgical pain is just unreal. Hope it passes soon for you!

Arcade cabinet restoration will teach you many things about woodworking, electronics, schematics reading, etc. I owe my ability to mod and tinker with stuff due to my early work restoring arcade cabinets.

Man. This was a bunch of hard work, but the lightbox I made out of scrap stuff lying around turned out great! Already have ideas regarding V2.0 of this that I'll make soon.

Congrats Zallard! Glad to hear you made it out alright and the surgery was a success! I bet that's a huge weight off your shoulder. The stuff they pump through you during surgery to keep you barely alive is funky. The body will spend some time purging it, and its metabolites, out of you.

Jdurg @jdurg.bsky.social · 4d

Hope you are recovering nicely my friend and the procedure was a total success!

I love making things. Made this lightbox out of an inexpensive arcade marquee print, some leftover scrap wood, some PVC backing board, LED Lights, and a plexiglass front. (Aside from paint, glue, filler, etc.). This is the first of two I plan to make. Using lessons learned from this on my other.

Finally settled down and got all the stuff done I want to get done. Let's fire up the Twin-Famicom and get some practice in with CV1 and then maybe some runs after. Live now.

It is finally the weekend. Oh my lord work has been brutal lately. Haven't been streaming in a while due to this work craziness, but I'm planning at some point to go live this weekend. Just was too exhausted when work was done today.

Schlittler was FILTHY. Yanks got a solid young starting pitcher that they've developed. Kid seems liked a right handed Randy Johnson and he might be "finding" it now.

I can smell that picture. (And that has nothing to do with what I may have consumed prior to looking at said picture). Nice buds!

Jdurg @jdurg.bsky.social · 10d

It'll look great once done.

I think the LED light strip I picked up for this lightbox will work just fine. The LED lights do kind of show off some of the print flaws in this reproduction, but honestly in person I can't see them unless I look really close. I love fun little nerd projects.

Will be a bit longer of a delay than expected. Amazon order arrived, but quite later than planned. When it did arrive, you guessed it, cheap shit from China! I now have to re-do my entire plans just to make this work. (The remote control that was supposed to be included, was not). Will be delayed.

Jdurg @jdurg.bsky.social · 13d

Waiting for some deliveries to arrive today, then once I get them all sorted out we'll get going with some Castlevania 1 runs. Just working on a cool lightbox for an arcade marquee I got and want to get that ready to finish up next weekend.

What you don't notice is the other 25% of his apartment space you can't see in that picture.

"Judge Doom Remains A Giant Dick" is the adult-themed follow-up sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit that nobody realized they needed until now Dave. Thank you.

Thankfully no. I'm just familiar with them as I work in clinical research with a focus in oncology. So those lines of treatment are pretty standard of care from my experience.

Jdurg @jdurg.bsky.social · 17d

FOLFOX and FOLFIRI. Quite familiar with those mixtures myself. Now I know I'm not the only one who knows what those are.

Haven't been streaming much of late, and here's why. This shelving unit has taken me forever to put together and finish. Mostly because this is in my stream room and home office, and when work is over I want to have no part of being in here. Finally though, I can start filling this in!
