The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

40s here. I only drink pour-over and French press (I make it myself at home). No triathalons, but I did about 40 minutes of Dance Dance Revolution today. No gravel bike either, but I have a BoS Blitz airbike and bought some adjustable kettlebells this year. And my Steam library and book collection are growing in size.
Eh, close enough.
DDR! My wife and I used to be pro and are looking at getting a home setup. What do you use?
Currently just using a cheap Ostent soft mat with some silicone grip pads on the bottom. It’s not perfect, but works well enough for my exercise and I can do up to 8+ difficulty songs (honestly can’t handle most 8 currently anyway). It’s convenient to be able to fold the mat up to put away when not in use.
Years back I hard-modded a similar mat, stapling and taping it down to a sheet of 1/4” plyboard and that was fantastic.
If you’re looking for hard pads today, check out L-Tek, they’re about the only one still in business making them.

Edit - oh, I forgot to mention software. There’s two good options today, Project Outfox (available on Steam) and ITGMania. Both are forks of Stepmania 5.1. Song packs are available online, including both new user stuff and DDR original. I use ITGMania with Project XX Starlight theme for DDR and get most of my songs from https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/simfiles.php?category=simfiles
I have come to believe that any coffee machine for the home is not worth it. Pour overs at home, machinated coffee belongs in the cafés
I had a cheap espresso machine for a few years and it was fun for a while and then it just became a pain to clean it regularly and even to do the whole process. Pour over or even fancy instant coffee is my go to for home these days
