  • I’m playing Last Spell right now, isometric base defense game. Lots of viable ways to play, but later missions become a slog if you don’t plan out hero builds. A run takes 5-10 hours, but rounds take 20 minutes. Emphasis on crowd control and positioning.

    Darkest Dungeon is nice if you want a break from isometric stuff, dungeon crawler, emphasis on team combat and resource management.

    Creeper World III if you want to try RTS style, lots of community maps.

    Tactical Breach Wizards, Come in through a window, throw everyone else out the window. Silly, but fun.



  • I mean… this is Lemmy. I know there is a weather station near the sheriff’s office that does all the local reporting, and I watched it get built way back when.

    Weather Stations are sort of the “Hello World” of embedded systems because they have to run for decades at a time fairly easily. The hard part is probably reverse engineering the communication protocol, but chances are they use LORA and just parse and upload data server side.

    Short of DOGE deciding to do fieldwork and physically take down the local weather Stations, it would be feasible to “pirate” (it was already free?) the local weather broadcasts.

    No idea about radar though. Any meteorologists ?


  • oh but don’t forget clipping and the fact that you now increased audio variance means the 10¢ tinny speakers at checkout cant power it, so now you have to work around perceptive loudness and normalize to speech frequencies and when you get to the shop to install new firmware you see a granny wearing glasses asking “what does the self checkout menu say?” and now you have a new problem.
