"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." Vs "A Hobbit lived in a comfortable house."

Shadow of the Erdtree needs a difficulty setting that calls your father and you have to convince him why the divorce was his fault. There's also a dozen Strays bothering you the whole time

Oh god you're probably so right, I was loving Hifi Rush and then hit that level and went "wait what happened?" then hit the last level and totally forgot about the awful part tbh

Remembering the time my parents didn't want me to hang out with another kid in my neighbourhood anymore. When I finally got the answer out of them, they said it was because they were worried I was smoking weed there. I had to break it to them that we were actually playing dungeons and dragons

Listen, I know the name of the plant that we put in our garden is called a cucamelon; and that it tastes like a cross between a cucumber and watermelon. And yet biting into the grape-sized fruit I was NOT ready to experience the taste was exactly as described

My favourite notebook was discontinued so I learned book binding to make my own out of spite and I've been obsessed with making more 😂

Those "What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?" posts doesn't work for game dev because 99% of people don't know shit about how games are actually made. I could say anything convincing enough and most people would be like "yea totally, I saw that in Assassin's Creed 2"

There's something ironic to me that AI bros figured out "trash in, trash out" as a way to say that providing poor information results in a poor product, yet many of the same people didn't realize this when they were clients commissioning art from a real person

Genuine question though... What is this for??? What file type requires that high amount of data transfer with an HDMI? I don't know anything about audio equipment but it can't be for that, surely??? And what can even receive that much data that quickly to make it useful?

Just to reiterate what others have said: the cups always had a thin lining of plastic (or they'd melt like paper straws) and were never recyclable to begin with. This logo is just more explicitly telling people to stop recycling the cups. Not sure why they need an image of a dead turtle though

We got our community garden plot at the start of May and already have harvested basil and green onion, though the plot itself was and is a ton of extra maintenance in addition to the regular garden work. Still sooo worth it though!! Best of luck in your harvest! 🌱🌱

Early in my indie dev career I would regularly work from 7pm-4am because I was transitioning from working graveyards at a warehouse to dev full time and it worked well enough. All the best worst ideas and worst best ideas happened at 2-3am. The air was crisp and cool but my line work wasn't 😅

Sprite? The drink best described as la croix that tried just a little bit harder? Mountain Dew if the mountains were a low hill? The taste of carbonated with a splash of carbonated? A flavour profile with as much complexity as mayonnaise? 7down?

I worked at a DQ through highschool and surprisingly even after all this time I still can't stand ice cream cakes. I just... ate so much. Now I just go for the standard cake. Though the Pro Gamer Move is to call DQ a few days ahead and order a Reese peanut butter blizzard cake.

Community garden day 1 and day 2. Day 3 starts tomorrow 🌱 Apparently this lot used to be a baseball diamond, so there's a *wonderful* layer of clay a foot under everything 😅

Note that I haven't had covid before (or yet?), so I'm entirely unfamiliar. My partner was also feeling "off" a few days prior though that may have been unrelated. We both haven't been anywhere dense for a long period, and never without masks. I haven't gone anywhere out of precaution. Weird though.

Unsure (but pretty certain) that I had covid earlier this week. Sore throat all day and chills for a night, then woke up and felt fine. Whole thing lasted *maybe* 3 days tops. I'm 6x vaxed and mask everywhere. I know my apt neighbour across the hall is sick with "a cold" right now tho, so who knows

I always say "nobody is a bibliophile on moving day" Moving home from college (and having worked in a bookstore the entire time) resulted in my 2009 Pontiac getting a rear right flat due to the weight of the boxes. Should have dispersed the weight better 😅
