  • bending the knuckles is one of several solutions for specific issues, bending the hinge pins is specifically done to keep the door from swinging freely (just in case the wall happens to be leaning enough that the doors own weight would move it). Bending the knuckles slightly adjusts the swing and orientation of the door.

  • Hanging a door is super easy*!

    *only pertains to new construction in places where the workers before door installation made sure the rough opening is plumb, level, and square.

    Installation in a settled house is often a massive compromise on angle, tilt, placement, and sometimes squareness. When all else fails, bending one or more hinge pins to add friction to the door is the last ditch compromise just to have something kind of work.

    I’d say doors are tougher than stairs, at least stairs are stationary. If the floor isn’t level where the door is swinging, that bottom gap can be… Public bathroom worthy.

  • I don’t know the future. I can hope that things will actually get better than they currently are, but the past has taught me whenever this happens and there’s a majority control of each branch, not a whole lot goes on.

    There are a couple folks actually trying to move things forward, though it seems like the majority are fine with maintaining the status quo, even if that status quo keeps shifting right every time they don’t have majority control. I wonder if Bernie’s 32 hour work week bill was already shot down or if it’s still in play.

    As for the oranges power, the only thing that changed for him is thankfully a significant decrease in making any lasting changes in the law. He’s still going to do whatever the hell he wants without any fucks given for the proper forms, laws, or protocols followed. Overreaching executive orders, Supreme Court complicity, and him just eroding nearly every single foreign relationship are still his main methods of operation.

  • The music universe that’s still being developed a bit. It adds just a bit of some rpg elements to what’s basically a mindless audio/visual experience. The universe adds enough of a touch to keep me engaged on trying to take over systems and one up myself on them.

    Otherwise, it’s just a more polished experience. The models are 3D, the bosses feel a bit more menacing, and there’s some new stuff to keep my interest beyond just experiencing my music while enjoying explosions and flashing lights.

    That being said, it’s not a game I pick up daily to play. The visuals are overwhelming, especially on higher difficulties and my eyes aren’t getting any younger.

  • Just a hobby of gaming. I like being exposed to many different types of music, and the incredibly varied track list of DJ max is very much why I put it at the top of the list. It is also why beat hazard works so well for me, I have all different types of music on my pc, allowing for each play session to have a very different vibe, if I choose for it to.

  • It is intentionally music based. Dj max has been a main stay in my life for the better part of 20 years, ever since I first found it on the PSP. The current iteration has a massive library of songs from collaborations to every single version I used to play on the bus.

    Beat hazard is asteroids with enemy spawns and weapons power based on the music track being played. I’ve been building quite a library of tracks for a very long time, so I get to work through albums. I’m very much stuck attempting to beat Infected Mushrooms “Vicious Delicious”.

    Rez was a game I adored on the dreamcast, and has become a full experience with the pcvr release Rez:Infinite. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes older techno and shmups.

    Jet grind radio, future, and the spiritual successor bomb rush cyber funk have each had such amazing soundtracks and intentionally goofy over the top police presence that it’s hard for me not to love. The newest one misses the mark a bit for me, but that soundtrack was made with all the original love.

    And auditorium had a demo out on browser a long while back, and it fills the puzzle vibe with much more thoughtful jams than my other options to put on here. I was thinking either Lumines or tetris effect, but at the end of the day I need to give a little love to my Philly game devs.
