“This would have been so astoundingly amazing just 10 years ago…”. I say to my teenage son as I show him my new fan-dangled creation. “Why do you build things like this anyways?!” he says back half smiling and half serious. “I don’t know. It keeps me entertained while I’m in boring meetings at work.”…

I know I have no chance of beating him with just regular beat-saber as he can complete expert+ 360 level songs with increased…

My son wanted us to build an automated Nerf blaster targeting mechanism that will detect humans in motion and shoot them. Now that’s what I call a succinct user requirement 😂.
