You are getting me so many points with my dog loving girlfriend with these.
I remember when I was in college for game development. At the time Mirrors Edge was in development. My instructor for UI made us study it as the perfect example of a good UI. The dot wasn't so much a reticle as an anti nausea measure.
This was also a time where UI layers were occasionally just made in Adobe Flash (I think it was just after Adobe bought out Macromedia) so having a UI with crazy out of theme colours and issues syncing with the rest of the game was a real problem.
Designers felt the UI layers were often clunky, mechanical and in the way damaging the immersive experiences that had been becoming increasingly more "life like". It also saves a lot of localization cost.
I didn't end up in that industry but it seems like this became the norm for quite a while. Though I am starting to see better accessibility in game UI's games depending less on audio or visual only feedback. Which is good as we are all getting older.
This guy's out there saying this will somehow allow us to own homes that are priced over a million dollars. And what's driving me insane is some people are actually buying that.
I wish I could do something for it but it's on someone's property, I don't own a car, a cage or really anything to get it a shelter. Best I can do is report to the shelter nearby and hope they do something.
I don't usually see this colour of bun in the wild. but that last two days Ive seen this guy on the front lawn/driveway of a neighbors house. I hope someone didn't abandon them.
And now I too am surprised to learn this. Thank you for the knowledge.
Time to break out The Arrogant Worms - War of 1812. to remind folks we did it once before and it was funny
You just kinda tie them together the arms and legs are long enough. You can even tie them into balls kinda
I only got this image of me making them into a chain at the top of a stair scared the hec out of my roommate by having them swing down.
We only got the one now the others where given to friends
My roommate found a bunch of these at a thrift store near Toronto Canada. No tags so potentially home made the arms are noodly and you can chain them together. No idea what this guy is but we love it and wish we got more.
I recently went to the movies with my father and brother.
A few years ago, I was formally diagnosed with ASD, and I’ve long suspected my brother might also be on the spectrum. He’s far more sensitive than I am. In fact, he recently quit his job at a factory because of it. But my family refuses to even consider the possibility that he might have autism.
During the movie, he looked like he was in agony: hands over his ears, rocking, clearly distressed. Later, I mentioned this to my father, who revealed he’s been taking my brother to expensive medical clinics abroad (including the Mayo clinic). They’ve diagnosed him with a "neurological hypersensitivity disorder" and want to run costly scans and medicate him. I suggested a simpler, more likely explanation: autism. After all, I was formally diagnosed with it by CAMH (Canadian association of mental health), and my brother is even less social than I am, struggles with sensory issues, and tends to hyperfixate. Instead of spending tens of thousands at this clinic, why not explore this first?
My father claimed he didn’t know or had forgotten about my diagnosis. That’s hard to believe. He wanted nothing to do with my assessment process, but I talked about it nonstop for months before and after. How could he forget?
I could suggest all of this to my brother, but he’s never taken me seriously. We don't really talk much outside of family events. In high school, he was already programming, building apps in C, and even the chess club champion. He got into a great university only to burn out and drop out. Meanwhile, I was the barely passing theater kid who later went into game development (and, for the record, I’m doing great career-wise). But to him, I’ve always been the "dumb one," and his ego won’t let him listen.
At this point, I think the best option is to let it go. It’s not my diagnosis, not my money being spent, not my time being wasted. But watching this unfold is crazy to me. Get the man some loops!
I play on a little pi server I made for my GF and I
It's back up now as of 11pm
Not entirely up on the context of what you are trying to accomplish here. Are you making some kind of Pesterchum like quirk system that will work in Lemmy post?
My roommate asked I post this for them.
Recently I've seen everyone making Ina Garten's brownie pudding and it looks so good! The only issue is that it calls for 4 eggs + recipe produces a lot and that felt like too much. I tried seeing if anyone else had made a vegan ver but no luck.
I experimented with a recipe (not a vegan one) from Eleanor Wilkinson.
Here's what I changed to make it vegan:
Instead of half a chicken egg, use 2 hefty tablespoons of Just Egg. Sub vegan butter for real butter. I've had issues with my vegan butter exploding in the microwave even in 30 second bursts so i heat it slowly over a metal bowl on stove stop. I used about 1.5 tbsp vegan butter melted.
FYI: This will not work for other vegan egg substitutes like a flax seed egg or apple sauce unfortunately. Sorry if you don't have Just Egg available, i can't think of an alternative!
Just Egg won't whip up like chicken egg so just mix it with the sugar as usual. (I tried an electric whisk and it still didn't lighten).
As recipe says, bake in a water bath. I baked mine for 30 minutes and some parts were more set up than the bottom. If you don't like it as runny I'd say leave it for 5 more minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar and add vegan ice cream and it's a delish single serving treat 🙂 this is optional step of course lol
I attempted a recipe I was getting from a local diner. You just crumble and squeeze some extra firm tofu in a oat milk bag, and toss it with some curry powder. Then fry it up with some onions, peppers, black beans, corn, spinach and really whatever feels good.
I served it with some fresh seeded sourdough toast from a local bakery and some tater tots (because I'm way too lazy to make proper hash browns)
Easy and delicious
A PC is pretty much a space heater these days. Which is not great when it gets all hot and humid outside.
Many suggest just getting a small AC but why not remove the heat from it's source and put it outside?
I imagine the vent being much smaller than the big AC tube pictured.
Can I play with it?
