Casual Conversation
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Candles! Still trying to figure out how to not have them melt all over the desk.
Retail candles are usually hardened by mixing with a micro-wax such as Paraflint. If you're only using bees wax then it would be difficult but you could try mixing fine additives such as tree resin after melting the wax, or you could add calcium sulfate hemihydrate. Please note that whatever you add will have a scent which may be undesirable.
What sort of wax are you using?
I've used mostly olive stearine. I shall look into those additives
Working on adding a GUI config editor to my macro pad project https://github.com/ssebs/go-mmp/pull/19
Learned a little bit of ASP . NET because I don't know much of anything about webdev but I know a fair bit of C# and visual studio.
Gonna launch a site for my artwork hopefully soon.
My first 18m scoring round, shot a 225. Not great, but not too bad either.
Drawing my character eating a burger (that I really wanna eat like, right now 😂)
That's rad, gj bud.
Thank you so much!! 😃 I'm really enjoying this one!
I've been working on beating Prometheus in Hades 2 with 32 Fear. I've already taken Chronos down at that difficulty multiple times but the surface route is absolutely brutal on me -- I keep getting stuck at Strife.
