Real life totally needs some sort of "level up" sound effect. Something to indicate your progress in the great grind of life

You might find that little story amusing so...

Heh, that is kinda cute.

Still over half the pan left - but I'm not placing any bets on how long they last. They're rather better today than yesterday. ;)

Whoops. Forgot to reply to this yesterday. As of last night, ~9pm EST, sad to say, the last half-dozen or so lemon bars were in fact devoured.

The lack of DING really is utterly disappointing.

Admittedly, I did get delicious delicious lemon confection. Which was probably worth it. Still. Better with Ding!

Once uppon a time, a long, long time ago one of the SF&F mags -- Analog? -- had a spoof issue (1/2). In there was an ad for a new
role playing game called "Vita". Each character had an expected life-span of 70 years, and rather revolutionary, rather than than mailing your moves to a DM you would just interact *in real time* with other players.

To get the "ding" effect you just need to be good at self-hypnosis, and you can have a VR overlay in your field of vision. A bar in the low edge of your "screen", with score status, tools carried, warnings, etc? Personally I would like to have color coded careting of people, info-on-hover for them (names, where you met them before, which one of your courses they are taking, etc). And a 360 deg compressed viewfield in the bottom, so that I *could* have eyes in the back of my neck.
