I thought it was a poorly drawn air pod for a second there.

Would Obsidian work for you? The notes are stored locally, and the software uses markup for formatting and stuff. You can get it synced to your phone with Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.

I'm playing the ninja platformer N++. I'm probably not good enough to 100% it, but I'm having a blast with it.

Lol

Here's a form post that goes into it.

Make sure you have analog button enabled on your controller. Go to options. You have to press "Select" (if I recall correctly) in the controller config screen (it should tell you at the top of the screen). Then you select "Steering" and press left/right on the d-pad to select analog/digital steering.

Disclaimer: I haven't had to do this in years, but that sounds familiar.

I really liked the differences between Corvo's and Emily's powers. I also like the variety of ways they allow you to complete tasks and combine powers.

Every November I play Dishonored. Just finished the main game, and now I'm playing the Knife of Dunwall DLC. Next will be Brigmore Witches, and then it's on to Dishonored 2. I love these games yo.

Pretty forgiving language in that headline.

Oh, I don't mean the "blood donation" being normal. The person I was responding to asked why they were being drained "this way". I assumed they were concerned about the folded-over positioning of the crab.

Also, counter argument (in good fun): plenty of animals get their blood drained regularly in nature. Mosquitos, ticks, leaches, and vampire bats are a few examples of things that drain blood from others. Maybe the crabs see us as giant pests?

Defo not the best arrangement for the crabs though. As others pointed out to me, apparently despite the optimistic wording in the link I shared the process is still fatal to some. I'm glad we're working on alternatives.

Here's a description of the bleeding process:

https://www.horseshoecrab.org/med/bestpractices.html

It's specifically non-fatal:

Bleeding horseshoe crabs to death is not an acceptable practice in the U.S.

The volume of blood taken is actually quite small, as most of the material in the collection jars is anticoagulant.

It may look uncomfortable to us humans, but keep in mind that horseshoe crabs are not human. What's normal for the spider is chaos for the fly. Granted, it would be kinda weird to be hoisted from your home by a giant ape and forced into a blood drive. It's done as gently as possible though.

I still play Dishonored every year. Those are not realistic graphics in the slightest, but it still holds up pretty well. Why? Style. I would 100% take a "lower" graphics game with style than a 100GB game with exquisitely modeled sandwiches.

Stylistic games also age better than realistic games in my opinion. Look at other 2012 games like Mass Effect, Far Cry 3, and Borderlands. Mass Effect and Far Cry went more realistic, and I think they suffered a bit for it in the long run.

Not saying Dishonored didn't age tho. It does have that 2012 feel, lol.

Watch out for Balrogs!

Honestly, a bit ESH. The temp was out of line shoving everything on the floor. I can understand being upset by misgendering, but it doesn't warrant an immediate tantrum. Even if you were a hateful douche about it it doesn't mean they should ruin the coffee and doughnuts for everyone.

I don't think you were wrong to say dude. Unless you really emphasize the "dude" I think it's a perfectly casual way to address people. Modern usage has it shifting more towards "cool person" instead of just "cool guy".

I do think the "nobody cares" part was a bit insensitive though. I don't know where you are, but tensions in North America are high right now regarding trans rights (not saying this person was trans, as there's not enough info in the story). Lots of people care a whole lot more than they should about other people's chosen gender expression, so it's a touchy subject. I can understand that maybe you were coming from a place of "I don't mind one way or the other", but I don't think that's what it sounded like in the context. Especially with the "stupid" part thrown in.

This has got to be my favorite "quick" pasta dish. Simple enough, but still packs a lot of flavor (thanks garlic). Yours looks delicious!

Careful. If you're too mean to him he'll cancel Fez 2 again!

The map marker is in Alberta, so the SK is probs a typo.

Lol, that got me confused too. It's clearly in Alberta on the map. I think because the two towns above are SK the data entry person just muscle memoried another one.

There's also a profile thingy on the three dot menu at the top right I can click to change accounts. The hamburger menu may not exist for you if you configured Sync without it.

For me it was in the hamburger menu at the top left. Very top of that menu.

I'm very nearly done with 'The Precipice' by Ben Bova. Next is either 'Rock Rats' in the same series, or I start the Cosmere series by Brandon Sanderson. I've read all the Mistborn novels, and they're fantastic.

Sanderson writes books faster than I can read, so it's kind of daunting. Ben Bova is already dead, so I don't have the same problem with him.
