⚔️ What item would you go on an epic quest to acquire?
I would slay a million dragons to get a *truly* "smart" video editor that does everything I need, is easy to learn, and is reasonably priced (see, I'm even willing to concede on price!).
🔮 Do you own healing crystals? If so, do they… work?!
I don't, but one of my friends put some under my daughter's hospital crib before she had heart surgery. Considering she just finished preschool, I'd say they did *something*! 😄
I'm hoping I can translate what (little) I've learned of Premiere and OBS this past month into a gentler learning curve here, but I suppose there's only one way to find out! 😁💪🎞
Yeah, I’m a big After Effects and Premiere Pro user and I find this usually helps me pickup other software quickly but something about Davinci was a struggle for me... but that was also like 5 or 6 years ago! Good luck 🤞
I’d probably go on a quest to get an item that freezes time and lets me get things done. But I’d definitely end up in a Twilight Zone episode where I was addicted to doing it and I seemed like I was rapidly aging to the people around me... dead in one year. I’d assume.
Also I’ve got that disease I hate where you start idly chit chatting with people and start talking about something inane that you have little to no control over, the main two being weather or fuel prices. My version of that is talking about being busy - so I’d also gladly take a gourd that stopped that from happening too.
As for crystals... I don’t buy it. I mean I *bought* them on eBay for 100,000 gold but I don’t buy them as a functioning thing. I’d rather stick to ignoring all my ailments til they eventually kill me. This all starting to sound like a pattern.
But what a year it’d be! You could do the thing where you freeze time, find a guy you don’t like, pants him, then watch as he embarrassed himself at a fancy dinner party. Live slow, die fast!
Ignoring your ailments? They call that the head in the sand cure. Who needs to buy crystals when you can get a free shell stuck in your ear?
⚔️ What item would you go on an epic quest to acquire?
Good question. I would probably go on an epic quest to acquire a typewriter-like keyboard with all the modern conveniences of mechanical switch keyboards. It's so hard to find one that has that typewriter feel without it being cheaply made T_T
The Quest for the Perfect Keyboard! I know exactly what you're talking about. When my keyboard broke two years ago, I found an old backup one from the 90s. I loved it! The keys were so crunchy and clacky, like a typewriter. It felt like you were *really* typing. But then I started getting serious hand cramps, lol. So I switched to a new Apple one with light keys. Sigh...
This is one of the "Muppets on Main Street" buttons the imagineering team received when the Muppet history project started. He said less than 50 were made and I paid $50 for it. As a Muppet and Disneyland fan, I was absolutely thrilled.
Soon after, the Muppets would get their Disney attraction: Muppet*Vision 3D, one of Jim Henson's last projects. It's my favorite Disney attraction of all-time. If they permanently close it, we riot!
I was not aware that the Muppets nearly replaced Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Interestingly, Disney World did get a show from 2016 to 2020 titled "The Muppets Present...Great Moments in American History" which had the amazing song "Great Moments in History (but just the American parts)". I loved that show!
And yes, I will join your riot if Muppet*Vision 3D ever gets closed down!

I did a little research for your quest. Have you looked into a program called DaVinci Resolve? https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
Even if the crystals helped de-stress her parents, which the daughter instinctually picked up on, that's a victory for crystals in my book!
I hadn't heard of this before, it looks promising! Good looking out 😄
I’ve found da Vinci resolve’s ceiling high to start with... but then I didn’t give it all that much effort so take me for the uniformed that I am.

This was so fun! Great job, Geoffrey. 👏
Thanks for playing, Winston! I’m glad you enjoyed today’s quest.

And that's my problem! Hand cramps and wrist cramps for me T_T
Never give up the good fight. You will find the legendary keyboard of your dreams!
This is my incredible eBay find, which included the imagineer's business card for authenticity:
