glad to see it sneaking up on the list here, looking forward to updates

For sure! I’m usually dealing with things similar to 12vdc car wiring, up to a couple amps at most. As long as your body isn’t an easier path to ground than through the conductor itself then you have nothing to worry about. Path of least resistance and all that, and skin is pretty resistive. I have been bitten by an ignition coil before (like 10k+ volts, maybe a few milliamps), that’s an experience you never forget. That kind of electricity can jump through the air and give you a proper zap.

Half-Life 2. I remember being completely blown away by early source engine, even on low graphics to keep the frame rate above the 20s. I watched the weird little graphics benchmark animation probably a hundred times to dial in the settings. If you told me that in the future I’d be capping the framerate on highest settings to keep it from hitting the default limit of 300 I’da called you a liar.

Low wattage circuits (like I’m usually dealing with) aren’t particularly dangerous, even if you had soapy or sweaty skin the most they could do is give you a tingle. It’d just be so nice to be able to trace down wiring issues without having to grab a multimeter and probe around to get info. Also it’d be bad ass to grab a battery and be able to tell the voltage.

I could save so much time if I could tell how much voltage is in a circuit just by touching it
