That’s already a thing. Infill. There’s lots of variations of infill that all have different strengths and weaknesses.

I used to consider it a form of flow-state when you’ve played Descent/Overload long enough that up/down stops being a thing. It always took a while each session to get to that point, but once you were there it all just starting fl

Overload VR was one of the most intense VR experiences I’ve ever had. It also really helps immerse you in the “there’s no up/down” feeling. Sure, you start feeling sick after a few minutes, but it’s such a fun few minutes that you can’

I’ve done multiple projects that use 20m+ of WS2812s. I deliver the main power in segments from a single large PSU and run 5v signal (despite being designed for 3.3v signal most will handle 5v fine and works better for longer strips). Runni

I’ve been griping over this for years now. I get pretty bad RSI so like using a split mechanical keyboard for coding, but I also use long/complex passwords so I like using Touch ID too. It dumbfounds me that you can’t get a Touch ID pa

Leaded is easier to solder with, lead-free is less bad for you, but inhaling any fumes from burning stuff isn’t good for you, so use an extractor/filter no matter what.
