Non-meme thoughts? Gross, how dare

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's one of those things where both should exist in enough abundance that people can get their needs met, whether that means learning or getting things sorted.

It has to be said that the general shabbiness of consumer grade appliances is not helping - things need to be built so that it is possible to buy things for life.

I had one or two around the house as a kid. Was pretty satisfying to use, compared with a computer. My kid hates handwriting so much I bet he would prefer it too.

I haven't tried them, I tell myself it's likely to be quite a mild flavour. If I'm in the mood for a tea that doesn't taste like tea, I'll take a glass jar full of loose leaf and soak it in huge amounts of cinnamon and orange essential oils. Give that a few days to cure, and it makes a powerful, warming, sugar-free yet sweet, and nose-punchingly fragrant tea. Enough cinnamon oil and it can strip the paint off a wall, and that's how I like it. Stole the idea from the specialty tea shop in Pike Place Market, Seattle.

Charming blog from a guy who seems to have it all figured out.

Is it usual to type out what typewriter you're using in every header?

It must be super frustrating to deal with a politician who doesn't keep their agreements and never says what they mean. If he figures out the best way to deal with that I hope he'll tell us.

As I read, both of us are about one leg under the duvet.

...Should probably get the bearaby out, even this is too warm.

I bit into a whole onion once. I peeled the skin first though, which tells you there must have been some insane part of me that expected to enjoy the experience. "Hang on, get that paper off first or it'll taste bad"? What was I thinking.

Important browser opinions in a meme community, cheap thrills I guess.

Performative. We all know that conservatives instantly understand the problem once it actually affects them personally.

I'm still not sold that LM is the real perp tbh, it's too tidy. Also his manifesto looked like it was written in about five minutes.

 

This has been our lunch for the past couple weeks. It's filling, pretty easy to do low calorie, and a great way to beat the heat.

Wish it wasn't so hard to find fresh bean sprouts, the ones in the shop are always a bit sad.

 

Is this even brioche at this point? Who cares.

The sugar is to make it more attractive to my kid, I'd rather top it with everything bagel mix.

Bad oven spring this time, I screwed up the proofing and didn't have foil around to tent for the second half. Result? Cooler oven, darker crust.

 

Woke up at four to get this going, and breakfast still wasn't served until half ten. Somehow I wasn't cured of my interest in brioche.

Recipe adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhrgf7X2ihs, but instead of his filing I just did apple pie mix. A few had Nutella.

 

You know how Nidhogg is just one thing, and it's super simple and slightly just...nothing, but you can spend ages with it and it's got an incredibly high skill ceiling, and there's no flaws at all and they've just sort of achieved everything they set out to do without making a big deal out of it? It's that kind of game.

Kill The Crows is such a pure, condensed game. So rare to find a gameplay loop so utterly on the mark. Every moment is a small crisis where you're either lost in a flow state, or you're dead - and then right back into the action a couple seconds later.

Can't believe how few people talk about this cult classic-in-waiting. It's really charming.

 

This week I'm doing three different individual pizzas every night for four nights. Because the world is burning, but my oven is pretty hot too.

The crumb. I never appreciated how important it is to buy the nice flour.

 

I’ve spent the last year every weekend creating a 2.5 hour block of tailored programming to recreate the experience of Saturday morning cartoons for my kid, with selections from ~60 of the best (and some bad) cartoons from the last several decades, animated music videos, unearthed funny old clips, and modern indie animations, often with seasonal themes.

My programming is (I think) objectively better than the Saturday morning block ever was, and it takes hours every week to gather clips, edit, and manage where we’re at with every show. I sometimes wish I could share it with a larger crowd. Do you know of a PeerTube instance that would be cool with hosting this kind of content? I've tried sharing this with friends and family via SyncThing, but they didn't like it and it was a pain to help them troubleshoot all the time. It would be nice to have a platform for this work, even though I know it's all mostly untenable from an IP standpoint.

 

Just outstanding stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a Mega Man boss fight quite this interesting in how it plays out. Seems like this game is going to have an incredibly high skill ceiling.

 

This is a playable race in a game I've been developing. I like the premise, but the overall impression feels lacking to me. Mythians come from elves in this story, which are more like cenobites than fairies (taking cues from Pratchett's Lords and Ladies but hyperbolically so, until you're more into Gwar territory). They've renounced horrific madness and cosmic power. It's got a lot going for it, but I'm not happy with how "simple" and just-so it all feels. Any help?

 

Crumb shot to follow in a couple hours

 

As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.
