Dreadnought Arbalest Peculiarities

Anyone else noticing the Arbalest randomly chasing you down with massive speed boosts? Not sure what they're feeding this thing... You can see the Lacerator jump at me from the bottom at the end of the clip, so I know I'm not mixing them up.

It's been happening since the DLC dropped on mobile. This is the longest and clearest clip of it happening I've managed to record.

Found a good deal on a 5x1 HDMI 2.1 Switch

https://a.co/d/0bk6PbDL - Currently 50% off at $14.99

What does it do? You plug up to five HDMI devices into it, and then plug it into, say, the Pro Mobile Dock, then the dock outputs to my Luma Pros. Then whenever I want to switch between Xbox and Switch 2 (and soon enough, a Gaben Cube), I just change the source on the HDMI Switch. No more swapping HDMI cables at the Dock. I've tested it with an Xbox Series X, Switch 2, and a 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro.

The instruction manual indicates the box can draw power from the HDMI connection, but it does include an AC adapter and USB A to C cable for dedicated power.

I also had to attach the rubber feet myself. Not an issue, but figured I would mention it. The remote takes two, AAA batteries (not included). It is an IR remote, so it requires line-of-sight on the HDMI Switch.

The HDMI Switch itself is made of plastic, but I wasn't expecting much for $15. I'm not complaining in the least.

I might also pick this up in the near future: https://a.co/d/06eIPuN3

This is a 4x2 HDMI 2.1 Matrix. You can plug up to four different HDMI devices into it, and it can output to two separate HDMI displays. This would allow you to, say, display your console on both your TV and glasses at the same time. You can also mix and match devices simultaneously if I understand it correctly. I haven't personally tested that though.

There are cheaper ones, but they are HDMI 1.4 or 2.0/b. I don't know if they would work with the Series X and Switch 2, so that's why I'm focusing on HDMI 2.1

Regardless, just thought I'd share. Have a good one!

First sighting of Eastern Bluebird Fledgling

So I've had a mated pair of Eastern Bluebirds that took up residence a while ago. I don't have a Birdfy house, but am absolutely planning on getting one for next year. Their birdhouse is hanging in the pecan tree straight back from the feeder in the center of the video.

I knew they had nested in the house, and a few weeks ago I heard chirps coming from the birdhouse. I was excited! Then a few days later, I stopped hearing noise from the house. Mom and dad were still using it though, and never left their territory.

Well today, I finally have sightings of what appears to be a male fledgling! He's so handsome! I love how he has plenty of food right in front of him, but still begs dad to feed him lol. Old habits die hard I guess!

This has made my day 😁

Sound Tubes

Was browsing Amazon as I occasionally do to check for new accessories, and came across a listing for sound tubes I hadn't seen before. 2 pairs of different sizes for $5? What do I have to lose I figure.

Work great. I have the larger ones on. Should fit every Viture offering, I believe.

I know the sound tubes themselves aren't anything new, but the two-pack is afaik.
