Heather's Everyday Carry / Everyday Use (January 2021)

In this video Heather shares some of the things she uses every day.

0:03 Solar Panels, time-lapse on a typical NZ day - Heather has 18 solar panels that can generate 5kw of power. 2021 marks her 10th anniversary of living off the power grid with solar power.

0:19 Mate Unit - Heather's off grid system uses an Outback Inverter and Charge Controller (Regulator) which connect to the mate unit. This is a display unit situated in the dining area, next to an indoor thermometer, and it shows the total charge of the battery bank and what the power load is on the system. She uses this to determine her daily activities.
0:34 EDU - Handbag, phone, 365 Journal, watch, pen, glasses, hair tie, sunglasses, mug, headphones and ipad mini with Brydge keyboard.

0:44 Handbag: has a long strap to be able to wear the bag across the body.
Inside the bag: heavy duty reusable bags, purse, spare hair ties, pen, pencil, face mask, microfibre cloth, earplugs and their own storage container, small black purse for personal items. Not shown: house & car key.


1:02 Sunglass case carried in handbag, to swap between indoor glasses and prescription sunglasses. The microfibre cloth stored in the case is the best one Heather owns that came from a Lifeproof phone case.

1:15 365 Journal is part of Heather's daily self-care routine.

1:21 Phone: Samsung S9 (lock screen: Heather's 2020 birthday cake, phone background: buttercup photo taken by Heather). Apps incl: weather app, NZ Covid Tracer app, YT music, keep notes, timebuddy, calendar and acuity scheduler.

1:29 iPad mini with Brydge keyboard is Heather's office when she's out of the office (wallpaper art is by Midori Pro).

1:41 Very quick Office Tour

1:50 Home-made underdesk storage solution for her audio interface. The shelf moves back and forth, and turns side to side.

Omikron: the Nomad Soul: Everyone sucks in the beginning

Remember that time when I told you that you're going to suck when you begin? No? Well, here's the link:

https://duckracy.com/podcast/you-are-going-to-suck-when-you-begin/

Now you know. Back when I made this episode, I didn't play Omikron: the Nomad Soul. I didn't know that perfect example of the first ever project where everything you wanted to create meets harsh reality and you get the realization, that your first project is not the best thing to ever hit the universe, but a monstrosity, that you desperately tried to make alive. And after that - if you go on and learn and create more projects, develop skill and improve, you can repeat Quantic Dream's way: from Omicron to Detroit.

But you also have to be famous or rich enough to make people write articles about your games. But that's easy, right?

Saints Row 4, Quake 2: power fantasy doesn't always work

That was not an easy episode to make and I know that I took a lot of time to make it but I hope that it's all worth it in the end.

This time we get to the bottom of the power fantasy trope and we contemplate how bad is the power fantasy for the interactive media. Because I suppose it's not bad at all. It has its merit and doesn't deserve to be automatically shunned for being a power fantasy alone.

After all, what is fantasy without power in it?

Follow-up episode where we right our wrongs.

Sometimes it is good to stop what you're doing and look back. To rethink something and to admit that things have changed, you might have changed and your perspective changed. This is the episode where we do just that: we try and make things right. I talk about 3 major episodes in history of Duck in Games podcast:

1. Gamers who play games The anniversary 50-th episode of Duck in Games podcast

2. In space no one can hear you being bored The episode about Alien: Isolation

3. The first ever episode of Duck in games. Yes, we have come a long way.

And we take some time to correct most of the things that went wrong in those episodes. Or maybe just reinforce the statements with new knowledge we gained through the experience. Tune in to find out!

Tourette's Podcast - Season 6 FINALE - Episode 16 - The Cave You Fear

On the finale episode of Season 6, we close out an important ticket with a parent who wanted to know how to tell his young son he'd been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome; we start up a book list; we urge your participation in National Advocacy Day (for U.S. residents); and then we get to the perfect guest to close out the season, Calvin Ramirez. This one feels like it answers a lot about where we've been and why we are the way we are at this point in our lives, and questions how it could be any different -- in a non-cheesy way, we promise. This one's power fun. Ben and Calvin even bring Gossip Girl into it. XOXO - Tourette's Podcast

On this (great) episode, we have Eli, who works in American politics and campaigning. Lots of "yeah, me too!" talk about anxiety and fear and how it influences our behavior and, often, inaction, even on things we'd love to do. Also: a question -- with lots of answers -- from a parent on how to tell his young son he's been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Plus: correcting the spelling of "scholastic."

Ion Fury: When games are done with passion

You know sometimes the games are done with best practices in mind, with some experience and with some thoughts about making the most marketable products, but sometimes there are games like Doom, like Carmageddon, like Ion Fury, games that are just made to bring fun to the creators and people like them. The creators had an idea of the game they wanted to play and they proceeded creating said game. Which was... a success! I am convinced that Ion Fury is the fourth classic Build Engine game. Listen to find out more or - even better - go get yourself Ion Fury and play it!
