I don’t like vinegary too much (or smoke/fermented flavor etc), I like El Yucateco Red*.

Though it is a bit expensive for a tiny bottle. So I made a few big bottles trying my own spin* from garden habaneros (orange) and liked how it turned out.

* I see the key ingredients: distilled white vinegar, citric acid, xantham gum

Yeah, though I would say there is no need for the extra step of ATI.

Specifically due to value, though Ryzen was a better value when it started (pricing more Intel-like as soon as Ryzen became successful). Well… a Ryzen APU might still be better value at ultra-low-end compared to a new GPU, though probably better off with a used Polaris GPU.

To me it just seems like GPUs are still stagnated due to cryptomining, though gaming and raytracing hype probably doesn’t help either.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of theses games should i play?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.

I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a alternative platform to roblox for players and gamedevs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The problem for me is that it repeats many of the issues I had with Minecraft, so I don’t really have a good base to start with. Not really interested in LUA either, so there is even less motivation for me to make something from the ground up (I should probably be doing something with Godot instead).

I imagine the benefit for Luanti would be if you want to make a simple grid-based game it should be easy to do so. Trying different games though, it was hit-or-miss for me especially when it just spits you into an empty world (I assume some configuration issue or change with code version).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a alternative platform to roblox for players and gamedevs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Luanti (formerly Minetest) might be closer to what OP is looking for. Both because LUA and because it’s platform-like.

I am neither wizard nor sandwich-assembler for this, but hopefully you enjoy this sandwich.

Ohhh what sad times are these when passing ~~ruffians~~ wizards can corrupt even the most mundane and reasonable wishes. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who tire of this mortal coil are under considerable physical, mental, and socioeconomic stress in this period in history.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ill start soon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If it’s not a simple chore, the reason I do this is usually that something needs to change*. I’ve had times in the past where I did do the thing and it was a marginal result (if even that). Just like I’ve had changes result improvement(s) as mentally easy as I expected.

Specifically for any hope for a creative project, I’m not sure what the change(s) needs to be… though it could even be one of many indirectly related things. Doesn’t look like that is changing either way, though.

* and I probably will not be the one to make said initial change

If someone is … “limited enough” for it to be a proper replacement for deep human interaction

That and not going so far that goes past* that point. Even if there would be the slightest benefit**, realism about AI as well as cost (or even hardware need/heat+data of local models) makes it easy to ignore/dismiss.

Me, haunting those responsible for the wording:

The Spirit of the Harvest Moon is a spirit and the main antagonist from “The House of Discontent” S2E12p1 of Courage The Cowardly Dog Show. It is a giant floating bald head of a moon-esque man: with glowing white skin, scowling black lips, and pure black eye sockets. not a cyborg.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Programmer paradigm shift... Have YOU made the shift??? 🫵⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I feel it’s more true for Nim-lang. No dealing with pointers (it’s possible, just not a normal thing like int**, Nim has newer memory management options like arc/orc). There’s also stuff like for i in 0…9 (and ranges like that have more options/uses too)

I mean I guess there is overlap (both languages have UFCS and interop). So it might come down to syntax or specific implementation. Though I imagine if you like the braces style, there are other options to look at like Zig (or Rust, there is complexity but also popularity).

I know there is some difficulty when it comes to a language being niche (at least when lacking knowledge), and that’s certainly true for me with Nim.

All I can think here is

An elderly woman at a piano looks at some papers while saying “What is happening?”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
On paper sure they are villages, but I think a US village and one from elsewhere would likely feel drastically different. Lacking actual community (see Bowling Alone), or just look at the decay of it: all of the things that the village lost (shops, train station, industry etc) and what it still has(franchise dollar store, gas station etc).

It could just be coincidence, though “retirement village” is a term (also ecovillages) so maybe not. Aside from decay, I’d imagine the common perspective of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it (unless you stop for gas/maybe breakfast) probably doesn’t help with image either.

Kind of (300+ miles on the trail), though I’ve never found anything close to a friend or a money.

Going outside in when you’re nowhere near a city:

A man (Mr. Bean) in a suit and tie is standing in a field of flowers looking at his wristwatch… with cuts of him playing with grass while sitting on the ground, standing and looking at the horizon, and then laying down on the ground with eyes closed

They mean live vs just existing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comfy cozy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Similar here. I rarely dream (and typically not very vividly even when so). It could be because my sleep quality is poor (sleep stages likely impacted due to autonomic issues, and it’s possible that I need something like CPAP) then again I also have aphantasia.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comfy cozy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The opposite: “I remember as a child: I used to sleep. … But not anymore. In fact, I don’t even dream. What am I talking about‽ I don’t even sleep!”

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feel this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t see the jump from “I have problems socializing/functioning” to “I am special/nobody else has these problems”. I mentioned the first comment because

thanks for letting me try with you

seems like a fairly healthy/wholesome expressed thought.

Also yeah maybe both users are just-a-bit-on-the-spectrum and they probably know it. Does that change something, are they too common to express themselves? Shut up and get better or that’s-a-you-problem?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feel this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
???

This is an odd sticking point (same with another comment), it doesn’t even seem relevant to either thought (especially the first) other than it being asserted already by the inclusion of the comic.

Maybe not-special is true or maybe differences can brushed aside, but either way these thoughts are likely conclusions from their lived experiences and even a nice interpretation of the comic seems more like a cold comfort that doesn’t change much going forward. It probably has more impact if someone does live in/near a big city (particularly a place like Portland), but that is a bit of a leap to assume.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feel this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Side 1, pointing at brain: Ah, see there’s something wrong with the firmware here, or maybe it’s a hardware issue. Unclear if it’s even an error (it may serve some purpose), but it does negatively impact living. Made even worse by recall-worthy issues outside of the brain.

Side 2: Despite (or perhaps because of) my shortcomings I am very human, I know I am just another multi-cellular organism. But it does not matter. Nothing valued is here, I cannot go elsewhere.

Side 3: Yeah, I lack public transportation or things that come with it (I’m in a sparse area).

I made this for a comment (about small-data images, jpegs) days ago:

A simplified polygonal scene, originally from Futurama scene that’s styled like anime. Fry is saying “You and I are enemies now.” while pointing at a jpegified Professor Farnsworth. Meta note: The scene was made in the Godot game engine.

This would require both the air and surface to be free of dust. Maybe in a lab that could be true, but probably not in the real world.

I think so, but that’s also has massive tradeoffs on its own. If I did that, it was probably mostly Robot w/Ser Junkan runs.

I probably would prefer a mod that makes active items only show up in shops (or perhaps chosen selection/loot-table at the start or per-character). Also: have the RR leave junk when taking some items (not ammo).

I do see one mod (Justice) to alter spawning which would probably help a bit (depending on the character, still not perfect early on). Plus I have other games to be bad at, many of the free (and slightly less frustrating).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Enter the Gungeon 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339840/Enter_the_Gungeon_2/)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not guaranteed to get anything of value before you hit the boss. There aren’t many chests, active items are often highly situational and you may be forced to abandon it. This may be expected/intended and I may even be able to beat the boss anyway, but it’s more tedious.

Very likely that keys and blanks (both multi-functional), more chests, or money don’t drop enough. This already means waiting on making some choices before the floor is cleared (despite this not being the best/easiest option for survival) especially when it comes to the alternate path.
