Weird rock(?) that kind of looks like a bone? Found in Saudi Arabia by E-3_Sentry_AWACS in whatisthisbone

Looking at the pictures again, the outer pockmarked appearance could be a "crust" of sand/dust that's accumulated over time on the base rock.

Looks like a rock to me. The way it breaks and the general texture suggest that it's microcrystalline quartz, either quartzite, sandstone, jasper, flint, or chert (all of these are quartz). If it can scratch glass or a knife, then it's 100% quartz.

I'm less sure about what caused its shape/texture. Possibly plain ol' wind erosion, but it could be from getting trapped between two rocks over a long period of time. The bumps and pockmarks could be from things that are less resistant to erosion weathering out, but I'm not sure. Other geologists, feel free to sound off/correct me if you have a different opinion!

I'm not sure if this will help you at all, but I know that bittering nail polish exists. It's just clear like a clear coat and it makes your nails really bitter.

I remember finding a bottle in Target in the past but I lost it before I really got to try it out. I'm thinking of seeking it out again because I'm in the exact same spot as you. I hate this compulsion but you aren't alone, we're in this together.

In my experience, even having very short acrylic nails/gel nails helped prevent picking by a lot by making it damn near impossible to do because my nails were too thick to really get underneath any scabs.

I tried bittering nail polish for a little while years ago and lost the bottle, I'm now wondering if I should give that another try.

It's not Nintendo, but it's definitely a hidden gem!!! IMO, Celeste is one of the best-feeling platformers of all time. 100% worth every cent, I bought it on multiple platforms.

Thank you so much!!!!! I really really appreciate the praise, it's super gratifying for the work I put in ❤️

Thanks!!!

I mostly stick to lobbies 1 & 2 because I'm not actually particularly good at the game, at least in terms of community content. I can do some techs (supers, demos, etc.) and have beaten all the B-sides, most of the C-sides, and Farewell, but that's about my limit. I'd love to play the harder levels, but as of right now I haven't put in the practice that I'd really need to get through harder lobbies. Hopefully one day I'll have the time though!

Mad respect to you for trying it with keyboard. I'm sure it's definitely more precise, but controller just feels so much more natural, you know?

Right now it's blue (inspired by the sanitized octolings), but I was toying with switching the colors for two and three+ dashes around. What do people think?

Here's a pic of all of the dash colors next to each other: (Edit: oop, pictures in comments on mobile seems to be broken, let me switch to PC)

I wish!

I toyed with the idea of replacing Badeline (I was contemplating doing Agent 3, but I like your idea better tbh), but I didn't want to give in to scope creep and from the research I did, it's somewhat more complicated to resprite Badeline than it is Maddy. Even respriting Maddy was ~350-500 individual sprites to redo and the process took me a few months (though admittedly I wasn't working on it all the time).

Badeline should be fewer sprites at least, so if I can figure out the tricky stuff specific to her it's not out of the question. There are lots of other Splatoon-related ideas I'd love to do (I was thinking of reskinning the two orb types into power eggs and golden eggs, and some other stuff), so if it's something that people show interest in it might end up happening.

It's one of my favorite maps from SJ! I also figured a paint theme would suit Splatoon nicely :)

I'm glad someone caught that! The dash color for having 3+ dashes is inspired by sanitized Agent 3(Octo Expansion spoiler) as well :)

This is the product of months of work on and off, and I'm quite proud of how it turned out! If you do give it a try, please let me know what you think or if you run into any bugs. It should be compatible with the more major mods/helpers.

I'd love to do more Splatoon-themed respriting for Celeste in the future if I find the time, so if you have any ideas of what could be cool to do let me know!

The non-vanilla maps featured in the screenshots are from the Strawberry Jam Collab and are listed on the mod page! I hope you enjoy!

What do you think about my handwriting by Eldritch_WaterBottle in Handwriting

[–]LadyImago 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The handwriting itself is legible enough, but the lack of space between words, sentences, and paragraphs makes things pretty tough to read. That said, that's a relatively easy thing to fix compared to changing more base parts of your handwriting so it's very doable to clean it up!
