What moisturizer(s) do you use? Just curious!
I had the same reaction! I was expecting a big guy.
Every Time I Die. It was a very small venue, the stage was like 2 feet off the ground and I was front row. No barriers or bodyguards, you could just reach out and touch them. The ceiling had pretty low beams and people were hanging from them at times.
They let people on the stage and if they lingered too long, theyd shove them off. They put on a wild show, interacting with everyone and just going crazy. That venue didn't last long, it was open for 2 years and shut down after a zoning violation and some other issues.
Honestly I've never had that much fun at another show. I've been blown away by several performances, but the energy has never topped that one.
I hope you can help your friend with some programming! That sounds pretty exciting. If you ever want to share some progress pics of your minis, I'd love to see them.
I know it probably doesn't mean a whole lot since I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I'm proud of you for making it through all of this without a drink. I'm proud that you reached out for help and encouragement. I'm proud that you are trying.
Whenever things fall apart, I tell myself that I have to endure the rough times in order to fully appreciate the good. It's kind of cheesy, but it always makes me feel a little bit better.
Maybe try filling your spare time with learning something new, if you have the energy to do it. It could be something really easy like a new hobby (and maybe you could meet someone through that instead of at a social gathering with alcohol?), or it could be learning to code or something. There's lots of free resources out there.
I've been trying to learn a new language and I find it keeps me distracted from thinking about things.
You got this for today!
I've ordered from them a few times. I wanted to see how bad the products are and they give new members a pretty good deal.
The products are generally better than wish, but they are still hit or miss. Think dollar tree quality for most things. I can't recommend electronics. Most of them are extremely cheap and won't last. There is a lot of etsy art/designs stolen and resold. Prints tend to be lesser quality because they don't have access to the original files.
They will spam you with notifications/emails whatever else they can and constantly tell you there are deals to get free things, but most of the time it stops you from getting the free item without inviting people or making multiple orders. Many of their big coupon offers they advertise like $200 off coupon is actually multiple little coupons that equal $200 off, but you'd need to spend hundreds to actually redeem them all.
Still, I've gotten some things from there that aren't bad. Those cardboard cat scratchers? You can find them for 1/3rd of the price and they are the same quality as any major store.
I will always recommend to shop local if you can, but a lot of us don't have that choice, and some of us can't afford it anyways.
My late cat Dinah had the full name: Dinahsaurus Dinah the Dinahnator, but we often called her a list of other names. Dinahsaur was her favorite.
Now I have Ryuji aka chicken nugget, nuggie, tiny tiger
Yusuke aka Void Boy, Boy, Mr. Yusker
Yonah aka Yoyo, Demon, Evil One, Brat Cat, Yoner
Kimchi aka Kimmers, Kimmy, Kims, Kimcher
Unity is a game engine used by a lot of developers, many of them indies. Some popular games that use Unity are Among Us, Cuphead, Cult of the Lamb, and Tunic. They recently made several changes to their TOS that has upset the gaming community.
Unity used to have a clause in the TOS stating:
"if the Updated Terms adversely impact your rights, you may elect to continue to use any current-year versions of the Unity Software (e.g., 2018.x and 2018.y and any Long Term Supported (LTS) versions for that current-year release) according to the terms that applied just prior to the Updated Terms (the “Prior Terms”)"
This meant that if you didn't agree with the new terms, you could continue using a different version of Unity and the new terms wouldn't apply to you. In April 2023, they removed that clause completely. A week ago, they announced new terms: every game install will be charged a fee of up to $0.20 starting next year, depending on what Unity subscription the developers have and how much revenue/installs the game receives.
This change was set to cover all existing Unity games, even ones made on older versions. Any time anyone installed the game, even if they had installed it previously, the developer would be charged a fee. Many of the games made with Unity are under $20, with some of the popular ones being $5 or less. Immediately people thought of ways this could be trouble: Scripts to install the same game over and over, people sharing their game libraries with family/friends, those with multiple computers/laptops/tablets.
Unity announced on Sep 17, 2023 that they would not be going forward with this new policy:
We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.
It's unclear what Unity will do now. Many developers have started looking at an alternative called Godot, and some even plan on canceling their Unity subscription because they have lost faith in the company.
I was on Reddit for over 10 years, but I had less than 10 posts. There were many times I'd miss that it was image only day, or my post would be grouped into some category that wasn't allowed, even though I never thought it would fit that category. I have social anxiety so when my post wouldn't make it through, I'd feel like an idiot for not understanding the rules.
I developed this habit where I type out a post and then never submit it. I've been trying to break the habit for a few years now. Lemmy needs more activity, so I at least try to comment every once in a while to add conversation. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to make my own posts again.
I always hate it when certain characters and quests in games don't have as many options as other ones. It feels bad when you can't save or help a character you really like, especially if there's 100% a way it would work in the story, if it had been written in.
It seems to happen more often with animals and beasts. I really like dragons too, so it sucks that the only dragon isn't able to be saved. I haven't played BG3 yet. I remember being able to help a dragon in Divinity II, and not too far into the game either. If you haven't played that, you could give it a try.
I found a couple, but only one has more than a couple of users. Sadly, it's also pretty empty.
I love how you matched the colors of these objects. There's something really satisfying about it.
