'videogame ice effect'

I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It's so cool.

Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).

Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise

Seeing only (edit..) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you'd get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren't BLIND.

I want that as a real UI option 😶

As long as it supports the USB-C PowerDelivery standard and has the supported voltages and wattage needed to do so. Most laptops will need 20v.

For chargers as small as those little phone-bricks the main problems would probably be the wiregauge of the USBC cable and the heat. Being so small and without exhaust vents I imagine the poor little charger would be at risk of early heat death. But it's doable

I've been able to normal-charge a 15 inch IdeaPad 82R9 using a little 1x1 inch 35watt GaN charger. But this was with the CPU locked to not go over 25% load(this laptop is FAST even with this sacrifice) and it makes that little charger get pretty hot. Without that CPU limit in place it actually drains faster than the charger can charge.

I hate buying 12 packs and then finding out that half of the cans are depressurized(and unfizzed!) from being crushed because of these stackings :(

I actually really like that the washing machine and my makita charger do those noises just because I've never heard appliances do musical stuff before and think it's really cool. BUUUUT:

I would totally hate it if anything.* aaaanything at allllll* in the kitchen were to make music the same way. Microwaves -- and the oven -- and the pressure cooker -- are already extremely loud and obnoxious as they are.

The washing machine and battery charger are somehow fine just because I don't associate them with the kitchen appliances I grew up being screamed-at by. The whole 'conditioned to be annoyed by X but when Y does it it's fine' thing

Severe overuse of magic circles. Why not be more sparing about when these are drawn? They don't have to be used around every little itty-bitty minor use of magic --that's just annoying and well.. kinda makes the artwork embarrassing to look at.

Also, aliens that seem too dumb to own spacecraft. They just grunt and roar and crawl around like zombies with laserbeams and have seemingly no plan or motive whatsoever. There needs to be more "OH mY god tHey talk!". My favorite is when they are portrayed as having gentlemanly eloquent speech because I find that more intimidating in a villain.

I really hate when plastic tupperwares ooze grease even if you wash them ten times . If baking soda doesn't work, there is an even stronger option: washing soda.

I use baking soda to wash holiday glassware that spends all year on top of the nasty cabinets above the stove and it kills the sticky mildew feel almost instantly. But when push comes to shove, washing soda is even more insane than baking soda.

Just be sure to rinse thoroughly so it doesn't end up in the food

Sounds pretty helpful to me. Like really old first-generation Opera when it was really proud of its ability to search like 15 different search engines by putting g or b or w or y or whatever in the address bar before typing a search query or when it had still had its own built-in email program

Whatever causes the asker to have the biggest breakdown at the time!

"4G-LTE"? Well that's 'Forgull'ty'

There's a beauty supply place where the inside of the store is just rows and rows of generic amazon junk. The thing is .. that place gets extreeeemely high amounts of traffic and people even leave their engines running while visiting this place. It's just so suspicious seeing as the place is just a junk-shop for amazon teir beauty supplies
