weird that he can overpromise and underdeliver on games for two decades but just now he's growing a conscience he should have tim schafer hook him up with his dealer, he seems to have no issues turning nostalgia-fueled crowdfunding into mediocre games

the only smoke alarms you need are mains powered, battery or capacitor backed, interlinked and a mixture of ionisation and optical depending if its in your kitchen or not. they are £35 each. gently caress having to wi-fi janitor a smoke alarm through an app jfc.

smoke detectors are exactly the type of thing you don't need the internet for. Your home depot $20 for 2 smoke detectors are as good as it gets. No loving around, no flailing like a dumbass, and they're 10 bucks.

No loving around, no flailing like a dumbass, and they're 10 bucks. yeah a simple discrete or integrated circuit which takes the analog inputs from an ionization and/or photoelectric sensor and flips on the alarm if they hit a certain value is all they need. the fewer points of failure the better. edit - I mean we should link to the internet and have them tweet the fire department and crowdsource the tracking of rapid oxidation of household materials.

a smoke detector that automatically calls the fire department would be great for people who don't find accidentally setting one off by burning something enough of a pain in the rear end already

I’m still putting every ounce of my energy. I’m still not going to my son’s play because I had to work on Godus. I’m still getting shouted at by my wife because I’m not home. Do you know what time I got home last night? Two-thirty in the morning. talk about highlighting the folly of constant overtime
