Yes, excellent! I shared a different link, but yours seems to be more authoritative.

Very cool! (For learning/ease of use, it would be helpful for me to be able tap enemy pieces to see where they could go next. (But with a different indicator.))

I unlocked the Redshift handheld video game system; became obsessed and made a video player ( https://www.reddit.com/r/exapunks/comments/tzv1m5/redshift_v... ) among other things. So fun! I should progress past Redshift.

Cool work, thanks for sharing! I saw briefly in the video https://youtu.be/QlfCfkzkBB4?si=xkuPS0Dj9Z9hnjAP&t=57 that you were using 3d renderings of eyes for training? Did you find a rigged eye like that, or make it? So it worked well enough for training. Are you using actual captures for training too? or is it not worth using?

I like the progressive example toys. Thanks!

I’ve done the same with a q3 and virtual desktop for a few weeks and hours at a time when I didn’t have a good monitor. I could run a 4k screen after tweaking the settings a bit. (And using a dummy hdmi plug so an external monitor was not needed)
It was best curved and large (and angled down a bit) so that I use it like it is 4 1080p screens. And move head to see each (and a bit more) sharp.
The newer version (tested briefly) lets you arrange several virtual monitors wherever. Not as convenient/sharp as a large 4k tv/monitor on my desk, but for a backup monitor and mobile it was great. I’ll give it a shot again.

I didn’t have to disable mobile mode to move my fingers over the browser navigation from the app and still control the puck. It’s very replaceable. I like the statistics. Perhaps one that shows a histogram over all games and where you rank for score etc? But top tennis is generous.

Very fun! Works great on iPhone. Neat that I can stop by just lifting my finger to take a breather. Fun multipliers! More to discover!

Nice. I’m similarly spoiled for choice now. Past workplace:
1. Swiss Miss Hot chocolate mix
2. Starlight Peppermint Mints
3. Lemonade
4. Peanut butter
For variety, I tried many combinations. Some: 1+3: bad, 1+2, 2+3: good, 1+4: awesome
