Sorry, I phrased that in an unnecessarily inflammatory way. You’re not wrong, plain surfaces are easier to clean, especially when you’re cleaning up after other people and pets. I hope the folks you live with appreciate what you do for them!

If you really can’t tell if you’ve adequately cleaned a surface unless it’s pristine white, I feel sorry for anyone who has to live with you.
Cardboard aided design is a vastly underrated engineering tool :)
It’s oak (I can’t remember if it’s white or red, it’s been so long since I bought it). I did manage to avoid splotches, but different pieces came out with vastly different shades because I didn’t stain it all at once, and my technique and the stain both changed over time.
Thanks! I designed it to be versatile. The play surface should work well for other tabletop games, and if I throw a removable felt liner in there it would do great for card/dice games. Someone also suggested that I could add removable joystick modules to each of the player stations and do tabletop Pac-Man and other arcade-type games.
It’s also built to work as a regular dining table: https://imgur.com/OkASfSW
Hm, I didn’t think of that. The tv is supported by a couple of beams but otherwise the bottom is completely open for airflow, but I have no idea if passive convection will work since I covered it with a solid piece of acrylic on top. Maybe I’ll hack in some PC fans at some point.
Thanks! For now I’m just using static images, but at some point I’d like to try software that handles line of sight/fog of war, and maybe animations. I’d love to hear suggestions.
I remember when Tesla announced the Model 3 as a sub-$30k car. Since then there have been other EVs hitting that mark, but I still harbor some skepticism whenever prices get announced that far in advance of release. But it’s good to see more EVs entering the market!
Fake edit: I looked it up, and Tesla is offering the Model 3 starting at $40k. That’s more than 30, but tbh it’s not as pricey as I thought it was.
