Not accurate at all. You need a lot more paragraph, even better if you cut them every 2 sentences, and emoji at the end and beginning of every sentences.

30min is considered short ? Damn, I have 15min to commute and when looking for a new place I did put a limit at 20min from my work place. Most of my colleagues have shorter commute time than me.

No suprise more than 2h wasted per day would make someone depressed.

People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn't mean average on the "scale of beauty/attractiveness". But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.

It was tested already several years ago that people tend to like faces made by merging a lot of faces together and "averaging" them. Most of the time rating them more attractive than the individual faces used.

I don't find the source anymore... I'll check better later.

Hello everyone, I'm curious about how everyone here store their recipes and organize them (and looking for ideas for me too).

At the very beginning, I started with paper recipes in a simple file organizer. Either printed or wrote by hand. But it quickly became too big, dirty, wet, and full of food stains.

I switched to following recipes on my phone when I cooked. First with a folder structure of bookmarks from my favorite websites. But it had several issues: a lot of recipes websites have crazy amount of bullsh*t writing around the recipe, and I cannot edit and adapt the recipe with my touch.

I tried a lot of android app during the years and finally converged to "whisk", now called samsung food. I liked it because it could do meal plan and grocery list automatically on top of holding the recipes. But since it was bought, it's getting worse and worse.

As my familly and friends know that I like to cook I received quite a lot of recipe books over the years, but I barely use them. Usually I read them once and copy the few interesting recipes i like in the app I am currently using.

I recently found that Nextcloud has a "cookbook" plugin. As I'm already self hosting a next cloud instance it's perfect. It looks straight to the point, with all the basic features needed and no crap around. However it's not doing meal plan and grocery list (yet ?).

As there is no automatic transfer possible between whisk and nextcloud, before I'll spend hours to transfer my recipes I wanted to hear what other people are using !

It's "classic".

Originally (several decades ago) it was used for "Computer Role Playing Games" to describe video games that closely followed tabletop rpg (rules, universe, or just in spirit). But then video games became more well known than tabletop games, and the "c" dropped out of the acronym because all games where "computer" games. However, a lot of more recent "RPG" video games didn't had this tabletop RPGs feeling (think skyrim and the likes).

So now the term cRPG is back, to describe the same kind of games as before but most people use the C to means Classic instead of Computer.

Served with air fryed brussel sprouts with garlic and parmesan, and super soft baked potatoes. It was delicious!

At least two very different for me:

Myst: I was very small when I played it so maybe I missed some slightly hidden warnings or foreshadowing. But basically during the whole game two brothers that are trapped in two magical books claims that the other brother is evil and trapper him in this books.

It looks like the only way to progress in the game is to trust one of them and go do the quests they are asking in order to free them.

I thought I was smart and did everytime both quests for each of them, my plan was to save before the final quest of one and check if is the "good" one, otherwise reload and finish the last quest of the other.

I finish one guy. cue evil laughter I finish trapped in the book and the evil brother laugh that he managed to lie to me for this whole time. Fine, let's reload 5 minutes ago and free the other one. another evil laughter basically same thing happen with the other ... wtf ? There is no good ending to this game ??

Turned out there was the dad of this two also trapped in another book that was hidden somewhere else, he was the real good guy and lead to the good ending.

So: don't trust anyone, always look for more options than the two obvious choices that are only an illusion of free will. Lesson learned at a young age.

Other one that is more coming from the community than the game itself: world of Warcraft (vanilla, when it get out), more specifically beating the end boss of the latest raid for the first time. Especially when you are the raid leader. It give such a satisfaction and sensation of fulfilment.

There are a lot of games that require a lot more personnal skill than WoW to beat a boss. But getting 40 people to be ready, prepared, have to good class and good equipment, and play together for hours in order to achieve this common goal is incredible.

I had a very different experience with mine. I bought a middle range one, not the cheap one, with very good reviews at the time. I absolutely cannot trust it. It's always getting stuck, getting lost and not able to go back to charging station, or say that it's "finished" and leav obvious spot of dusts.

My living room is indeed a bit cluttered as it's not that big, but there is still enough space for it to move....

Tes 3: Morrowind, every NPCs can be killed and of course if you kill some of them before they got usefull to progress the main quest you are locked.

At their death there is a notification message like "you fucked up, you can reload or continue to play in this world forever doomed". BUT, in my first playthrough some broken mod I installed was hiding this message ...

Also, in the same game you could lose quest item and be unable to finish the main quest. But that kind of require you to be stupid on purpose, because it's obvious what item are important.

EDIT: found the in game message: " With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created."

Tabletop RPG. I started in High school, you need only paper a pen and a set of dice, right ? All the rules can be found online anyway, right ?

But it's so much better to have the physical books. And you need more than one dice of each obviously. And this nice metal dice looks very good. I obviously need different set of dice with colors pattern that match my different characters.

Speaking of characters, I need mini. I could get the cheap basic one of course, but the lead ones looks sooo much better.

And I obviously need custom models for all my characters.

Several years later, with a disposable income and I added maps, tokens, terrains, cards, ect. Even a tablet that I use only for this. I'm now limited by the storage place available in my flat (maybe for my own good).

More than 1h drive and I should spend half a day there.

More than 2h, I should plan the whole day (leaving in the morning and coming back end of the day)

More than 4 hours and I need to spend at least a night there before coming back.

I don't like to drive long distance at all. Obviously, all of that depend what I'm doing there.

I fully agree with you. And I want to emphasize that the main issue is that if you start advertising Lemmy like OP suggest before it's "fully ready" to give the best experience to this people, they will decide now that lemmy is not for them and after that it's very difficult to make they try again and change their mind.
