    Ubisoft Is Making An Animal Crossing-Style Game, Report Claims
  • Does it count as an animal crossing game if it's pay to win?

    I don't think Ubisoft could make something like this without it being pay to win somehow

  • I bought a dip pen and then spent 2 days drawing this [OC]
  • I haven't really ever thought to take action shots but I can next time I sit down to draw :D

  • X's Objection to the Onion Buying InfoWars Is a Reminder You Do Not Own Your Social Media Accounts
  • Hilariously, trump wants to remove the law that says you can't hold platforms legally at fault for their users. Once that gets repealed, this is a genuine argument. (As far as I know... I'm not a lawyer but that's my interpretation)

  • What's the most peculiar thing you've seen on the modlogs?
  • All actions done by the moderators are public for everyone to view. If you're on the site itself you can find it by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on Modlog. Each app is different though and some might not even have it so I can't help there.

    I bought a dip pen and then spent 2 days drawing this [OC]
  • Due to how handmade paper works in general... The amount of feathering varies wildly from page to page. From my testing (it's only been a few days so take it with a grain of salt) I've found it's best to use a nib size a little smaller than you actually want to use. That way if it feathers out it turns into the size you want to use.

  • I bought a dip pen and then spent 2 days drawing this [OC]
  • You can actually make paper from pretty much any plant material but in this case it's just recycled junk mail that I turned into brand new sheets.

    The process in summary:

    Shred the paper/cut the paper into small pieces.

    Let it soak for 24ish hours until the paper is sufficiently soft.

    Blend/mash it into a pulp (I use a blender personally because it's faster)

    Put the pulp into a vat

    Use a mould and deckle (basically a wood frame with a mesh sheet over it) to sift up some of the pulp onto the sheet.

    Drain the remaining water.

    Transfer the pulp onto a piece of fabric

    Give it time to dry

    Boom paper!

    Other notes:

    What's listed above is the bare bones basic process but there's a lot you can do to improve things and make the paper come out even better. For example; after transferring the pulp to the fabric, I like to stack them up on top of each other and use weight to flatten them. It helps even them out and makes the end result a lot nicer overall.

    On the other hand, everything above can also be done even cheaper and you'll still get a pretty good result. If you don't have a paper shredder, scissors work just fine, if you don't have scissors... Just tear it into small pieces.

    The vat could easily be any tub you can find filled with water... And the mould and deckle can be made easily at home with 2 of the same picture frame and cheap mesh from a hardware store.

    The whole process is extremely enjoyable and fun and also you're turning junk into a whole new thing! I also recycle my shipping boxes this way by turning the cardboard into a thicker cardboard paper that's really good for oils and pastels.

  • At this point I wouldn't be surprised

  • the competitive gaming experience
  • Notably, this is a joke.

    While it isn't obvious from just the post itself, this message was sent in reply to someone else saying that it's stupid for any community run organizations/events to ban people for slurs and racism and such because free speech (classic).

    This post is making fun of that person.

    the competitive gaming experience
  • I think that's the joke. Similarly, points are only awarded based on a prisoners dilemma and slurs are allowed but only on a pick ban basis

  • the competitive gaming experience

    For context, the game in question is Team Fortress 2 but outside of the top rule, the others could theoretically apply to any game.

    Farming Simulator 25 is available right now with a new lush Asian farm and a fantastic PC-exclusive Collector's Edition
  • I would argue that having to extremely overpay for the same thing every year is pretty accurate to how farming works. Especially with companies patenting seeds now.
