Absolutely. Before, I would always copy my notes ovsr to a more permanent format later and tbat would help with memorization. Little did I know I was applying an actual learning technique called Spaced Repetition.

It depends on the stylus. Some 3rd-party models are supposed to be easier to modify, but in my case I use the stylus that came with my Samsung tablet. You just need to use something thin to carefully dislodge and remove the button on the side of the pen and there'll be a couple of screws inside. One of them controls the sensitivity. I don't kmow what the other one does.

You're absolutely right about gripping a ballpoint pen. My solution was less than ideal for several reasons, but since the main reasons why I write are for the experience of doing so and because I commit things to memory much more easily when I jot them down and I don't actually care about keeping and accessing my writings in a serviceable manner, it works for me. And it is effortless.

I write with a stylus on an Android tablet. Slight disassembly allows one to adjust the stylus's sensitivity, which means you can press it as hardly or as softly as you like against the screen. At maximum settings, even hovering a centimeter or so above the surface is enough to produce a line on the screen, though obviously such a high sensitivity is undesirable (it continues to register even as you raise the pen between writing a word and crossing the t, for instance). I glide over the screen, stylus lightly held in my hand, and my calligraphy is actually better than with a real writing implement due to the lack of tension.

It works for me. Ymmv.

Awesome. What prompt did you use?

Taste is subjective and yes, you might enjoy it, but I wouldn't bet on it. Limited beam ammo makes the game unenjoyable all on its own, then there's everything else I mentioned.

I finished the first Metroid Prime thrice on the Gamecube, twice on the Wii, once on Dolphin Primehack (mouse+keyboard) and once on the Switch. It's no exaggeration to call it my favorite video game of all time.

I finished MP2 once on the Gamecube and I regret every second of it. I've played several games that were worse, but none of them had such a vertiginous fall from grace compared to what the same IP had produced before. The only one that comes close is Diablo 3. MP2 managed to go wrong with every single change they made in relation to the original: the soundtrack is worse, the environments are uglier, the story is uninspired, the enemies are boring, the puzzles are too easy, the gimmick is awfully cliché and actively hampers enjoyment and then removes itself for the last 20% of the game, and I don't even remember the final boss, which shows what a huge impact it had on me.

I have never been so disappointed by a piece of media in my entire life, and I probably never will. I feel personally insulted that even a single person would consider remaking this garbage anything other than an affront to good taste.

Soon to be adapted by Ucranians and possibly the rest of Europe as Russia's Final Warning.

Yes because tariffs that make legal imports more expensive are very effective at suppressing illegal imports, which don't pay tariffs at all, for reasons. Clearly this is the motivation behind them.

No, that was John McAffee.

Another generation using the text from the I Ching as a prompt. This time it was hexagram 41 - Decreasing, with old lines in the second and sixth positions.

I made this image by prompting Flux-dev with the Image, Decision and Fifth Yao texts from the 64th hexagram (Wei Ji) in Alfred Huang's translation of the I Ching.
