Rayman Pirate-Community

< Is also fascinated that ^, ^^^ and ^^^^^^^^ all became the Magician at the same time. This is truly magical.

< Hopes ^ has fun in London.

< Has started wondering if Rayman has ears...

< wouldn’t think so, ^

< also thanks ^! < is going to Horizon 22

< has actually had a buildup in <'s ears before and tried to use drops to loosen it. < didn't realise that it would actually make < even more deaf temporarily, and < literally could barely hear for days. Then one day when it just cleared, < thought everything was miles too loud (it sounded like everything had so much treble / high-end). Even flushing the toilet would have < thinking "wait, is it really that loud".

< hopes ^ has a good time in London.

< thinks that ^'s experience sounds nasty, especially the barely hearing anything part, but < wonders if it's worth it in the long term. < likes music but feels like <'s ears might be blocked because < likes to put volumes at somewhat high levels

< thanks ^^

< agrees that drops make < feel a bit deafer, but < also used olive oil

< ended up getting a little lazy this weekend after getting the circulation fan upgraded in size along with the duct work involved. < also had assembled the GPU server as well. < needs to at least get it hooked up in the rack so < can install Ubuntu onto it and get a few things prepared.

< went kayaking, it was fun

< spent over an hour in a tyre shop today, and <'s ears definitely felt slightly clogged afterwards, but it didn't last very long… < has heard before about people getting their ears syringed and only realizing afterwards how muffled things had been. < is intrigued by what Steo and Greengoop said about things suddenly seeming "too loud"…

Yeah this is what < was referring to more or less. < had always even thought that <'s right ear was worse than <'s left ear, but never considered the fact that there could have just been blockages all along. < had gotten used to muffled hearing, to the point that when < could actually hear properly, < was surprised.

< actually has <'s ears pop very easily these days also. < gets it a lot while flying, but < even gets it on busses and trains to some extent also.

< is here to report that < passed by a REAL LIFE Eat at Joe's while at the carnival today! < didn't try anything there, though.

< wonders if the power was out?

< hopes ^^ didn't find too many piranhas!

< had to change the battery from the car. What a great way to lose €100, right?

< assumes ^’d rather spend it on GTA6

<’s rather spend it on a Final Fantasy game.

< personally would add it to <‘s steam deck savings

< found it very annoying when it happened to < too, for the same reason of liking music, both listening to, and making it. < remembers actually putting the volume balancing on the computer to have the left side on 100 and the right side on 30, then having the volume extremely loud in the bad ear just to try hear through the blockage. < kept wondering if that was even safe, but < assumed so since < couldn't hear it that loudly and it didn't hurt.

< got an eye test done today, and it seems that for the third time in a row (in a four year span), that <'s eyes haven't changed at all. The same prescription lens are all < will need again. This means < can still keep using the old glasses if < wants, and < only wears them for certain things anyway.

Ah, ^ is Murfy now. < missed when < had Joe/Murfy. Fun times.

< discovered that <‘s school put xkcd comics in their computing workbooks

< thinks that the editor of those workbooks has excellent taste!

< would certainly agree!
< thinks the computing department at <‘s school has a really great taste in things, and they are currently trying to start up a retro games club (they already have a C64 and Spectrum )
