Super "What Are You Thinking?" ReBirth

[Quickman]

The DS touchscreen is a pressure-sensitive screen.  You can use the stylus, your finger, a lightsaber, end of a paintbrush, anything.  So long as the tip of whatever you use creates a certain amount of pressure on the screen surface to make contact with the screen itself, you can use the touchscreen.

The DS touchscreen has a transparent film that separates it from the screen.  The DS stylus creates a connection with the screen via pressure on that outer layer against the screen and the DS translates it as contact.  You need to press pretty hard with your finger to get the touchscreen to register, but the stylus is made to make that connection with minimal pressure.

Tablet touchscreens are capacitive screens.  An electrical current runs along the underside.  Your fingers and a proper capacitive stylus (rubber tip) will interrupt that current and the screen translates it as a contact point.  This configuration allows for multiple actions on the screen, such as "zooming" by spreading your fingers.

The DS stylus is not a capacitive stylus and a capacitive touchscreen will not register it, as it is incapable of interrupting the current.

The more you know...

I don't believe that.

You have little reason to distrust me.

I have to wonder if future Nintendo handhelds will use capacitive screens. Though, pressure sensitive may prove to be more beneficial for precise gaming touch control.

I'd have to buy a tablet stylus first, to be sure.

[Quickman]

A tablet stylus won't work on a DS screen.  Tablet styli are made with a soft rubber tip that depresses when you use it.  It won't provide sufficient enough pressure.

[Phi]

Yeah, I know. I meant when I use the stylus on the tablet, I can get a feel of how it compares to the DS' touch capabilities.

You have little reason to distrust me.

Oh ruri. It doesn't really work when you say it.

[Archer]

Wow that's harsh, please apologize. My feelings are damaged here.

[Phi]

It's only harsh if you're insecure and believe it to be true.

[Archer]

Not really.

[Phi]

good one, ruri

Mabel just confused my Giger poster for a window.  I'm not sure how.

[Archer]

Yeah, I put so much effort into it.

[Sakura Leic]

Mabel just confused my Giger poster for a window.  I'm not sure how.

You mean she tried to go through it?

[Phi]

Mabel just confused my Giger poster for a window.  I'm not sure how.

Was it near a window? Actually, it's still baffling to mistake it for one, either way...

[Quickman]

You mean she tried to go through it?

She did.  I have the poster above my desk, which is beside a window.  When I saw her trying to go through it, I picked her up and let her look at it at a different angle.

I think she still thinks it's a window.  She's tried to go through it before.

[Sakura Leic]

Wow, at least it wasn't as bizarre as Snowball learning about her reflection for the first time recently and growling at it.

[Phi]

That actually sounds less bizarre, to me. She was probably just scared.

[Sakura Leic]

Well she thought it was another cat, it's bizarre because she took so long to discover it.   It also doesn't help that the stray cats are predominantly gingers and those brown cats so it must have been the first time she saw a "white" cat.

So I've been playing LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and managed 100% it. Pretty fun game, especially cause there's a surprising amount of things to do.

Anyways, though I had never heard of her before, I think I've discovered my new favorite Marvel character, especially after researching her character. And that character is Squirrel Girl.

Like seriously, she summons squirrels to do her bidding and it's so random but I love it haha

[Mr. Haxwell]

I appear to have a delivery waiting to be collect. Don't know what is, but I'll assume it's related to my pension.

[Frozen Potato]

So much happened on the news today, another airplane incident. I think I died inside a little...

Squirrel Girl is actually supposed to be one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe. She's powerful in a comedic way, but yeah.

[Mirby]

The fact that her power is mostly for comedy is but one of the many reasons I love her haha

Hell, one of the inspirations for her creation was because the guy who created her had squirrels running on his roof and climbing in through his bedroom window all the time and them BOOM inspiration struck

[Quickman]

Ah, Squirrel Girl...

I should take inspiration from all the spiders in my apartment and make Spider-woman!

...wait.

[Sakura Leic]

I just had an encounter with a soda machine of the future.  It was strange.

[Quickman]

Do tell!

And my shitty iPad sketch is still getting likes and reblogs.  I should just not post anything good on my Tumblr and post shitty sketches.  Apparently people love shitty sketches.
