I got one with replaceable razer blades and it's come in handy many times.

Miko_the_cat Link ParentI have mad respect for jugglers. Poi was hard enough for me to learn but juggling made poi seem easy in comparison. No string to keep the ball close 🤣. Fire juggling blows my mind every time I see it.I have mad respect for jugglers.

I used to spin fire with the local fire spinning/flow community now and then. Also went to Pacific Fire Gathering a few times. But I haven't been going out much since the COVID lockdowns. Seems my habits and routine has changed. Spinning fire was always an amazing experience though. Being able to hear the firey woosh of each poi was like having another set of eyes to see where each poi is instead of just feeling it when it's not in my view. I really loved that.
I take it you're a spinner as well?

Poi was hard for me to get into because messing up felt pretty bad with tangled cords and sometimes knocking the glasses off my face 🤣. But eventually it starts to feel graceful until it's just being in the flow. It was also a lot of fun at music festivals.
I tried yoyos for a little bit and it reminded me of learning poi. The potential for pain seemed a bit higher though as I whacked a knuckle a few times with my bony hands and man did that hurt. I didn't get too deep into it but I did develop a lot of respect for throwers.

But there's also a ton of mission quests and other content that I'm not including because spoilers. I enjoy the progression and it doesn't feel like such a grind. It's not too hard but enough difficulty that it's engaging. It's also forgiving in that it doesn't punish you too bad for messing up. It's been a great game to relax and chill out to after a busy work day.

Regardless of how many times I listen to it, every listen on a good sound system seems to leave me speechless with how beautiful and perfect it is, down to the timing, execution, and expression of every note of every instrument, and the spaces between. I've seen a lot of live shows, but they're generally from the rock, punk, metal, or electronic genres, so maybe there's less of the nuance that I'm so captivated by in Pink Floyd. I've never seen them live and a part of me is a little bummed I'll never experience that but I'm just glad there was an excellent recording.
Been playing Stardew Valley for the 3rd time, but this time for the 1.6 update. The developer, ConcernedApe, added so much content and released it as a free update when this could have easily been paid DLC content. I'm playing co-op with my partner, but it supports up to 8 ppl playing together. It's been quite fun. I really enjoy the variety of gameplay from farming to cave diving, and I love how much efficiency can return greater profits.
