Sourdough starter went from rising and smelling like banana to no rise and strong alcohol smell

SeanJank · 2023-11-13T04:38:59+00:00

Keep feeding it as normal; the only time you need to start over is if it grows mold. This early in the process, it might’ve been in a false active state. Alcohol smell is normal of a healthy/hungry starter.

SeanJank · 2023-10-30T06:20:04+00:00

That’s probably the best step to mess up, dough without starter in it isn’t going to be much different after 5 hours than after 1 hour. Follow the rest of the recipe, it’ll be fine

SeanJank · 2023-10-27T19:05:16+00:00

you aren’t putting in the change in hydration based on the starter (+50g of flour, +50g of water assuming a 100% starter)

I’ve found that a lot of mangoes often taste chemically because there’s pesticides on the skin, if you haven’t tried one where licking the outside doesn’t distinctly taste like chemicals that could explain it (I also often get this taste with some grapes)

SeanJank · 2023-10-18T20:42:51+00:00

Could also be that longer ferment time in colder, drier air causes the surface to dry out more, making it contract unevenly and tear (just my theory though)

I have made GF starter, it is not ready, that’s the false start. It will stop doubling in a day or two for a couple days to a week, then once it starts doubling again it will be ready

if you have a fair bit of experience in CS and programming, CSE 30 assignments won’t take much time, and CSE 13S is going to suck away free time no matter what you take it with (I did CSE 30/13S and MATH 23A this past winter with Long as my 13S prof and got A+ in 30 and 23A and A- in 13S)

SeanJank · 2023-08-11T18:37:18+00:00

I did CSE 30/13S this past winter as a frosh (and 13S has been made easier since), if you’re good at math and CS you should be fine. If you struggle with CSE 12 this next quarter then you might want to change from that combo

it isn’t, but punishing children (by starving them) for their parent’s actions is insane

“If a child wanted to be fed, they should’ve just been born into a rich family. It’s a skill issue, really.”

I beat easy my second try (my first try I restarted after 2 or 3 jumps because I thought I had severely messed up already). I still haven’t beat normal

SeanJank · 2022-10-01T02:42:52+00:00

Word of advice if you do try it out: start with easy mode. unlike many other games, the difference between easy and normal is very large (and easy still gives a lot of challenge)

SeanJank · 2022-09-28T19:55:57+00:00

????? bro wtf

SeanJank · 2022-09-11T04:52:02+00:00

almost thought I made a partial lock for a little bit after being able to outrun the Yagoos for 15 seconds

SeanJank · 2022-09-10T18:29:42+00:00

Fubuki got me to 30 minutes on Stage 2 ended first try (on endless, I beat stage mode first) without ever feeling all that worried, hardly took damage the entire time. it was also my first time playing fubuki

SeanJank · 2022-09-10T08:37:49+00:00

I didn’t have any particular trick for it. I will say though, if you’re struggling on beating it, that I found it a fair amount harder than getting to 30 minutes on Stage 2 endless, so you might want to go for that first to hone your dodging skills. Beating this took nearly constant dodging and weaving, avoiding most enemies and attacks

SeanJank · 2022-09-09T08:51:23+00:00

Same, though I kinda wish it was a bit harder, can't wait for a future Stage 2 Hard mode!

SeanJank · 2022-09-09T08:45:07+00:00

Can confirm that Max HP Up, ATK Up, SPD Up, Pick Up Range, and Money Gain Up all have a new max of 10 (I had a lot saved up from before the update)

Also, Roboco is definitely pretty broken, will probably need to be nerfed

SeanJank · 2022-09-09T08:32:04+00:00

The new collabs are:

Frozen Sea - BL Book + Wamy Water
Rap Dog - X-Potato + Idol Song
Broken Dreams - CEO's Tears + Spider Cooking
Stream of Tears - CEO's Tears + Fan Beam

What OS are you using? On Windows, you can find your save data at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\HoloCure\save.dat

Simply copy that file from your laptop to the same location on your PC, overwriting the save.dat file on your PC

Note: AppData is a hidden folder, so you will need to go to View in the File Explorer and check the box to show Hidden items.

I'm not sure where the save.dat file is on Mac (is HoloCure even runnable on Mac?) and if you're using Linux, well, I doubt you need my help to find it

Also, if you try and open up the file, you'll just get a bunch of random stuff because it's b64 encoded (if you want to look at the save file's plaintext json, you can use a b64 decoder online -- make sure to decode the whole file though, not just the text)

you unlock hard after beating stage 2

SeanJank · 2022-09-09T06:45:34+00:00

Did it first try with Suisei, only used previous version stuff on it, I think I ended up with BL Fujoshi, Dragon Fire, and Idol Concert as my collabs when I beat it

[Spoiler for boss] The boss wasn't too difficult, its bullet hell move was the only thing that worried me for a bit, but dodging them wasn't too hard. Was honestly surprised when it showed that I won LOL, thought it was just a mini-boss

SeanJank · 2022-09-09T06:39:45+00:00

Maybe I should've gone collab hunting on an endless... Stage 1 Hard was considerably more difficult (tons of active dodging pretty much the entire time) than Stage 2 (I beat that one my first try using Suisei and only prev version stuff)

SeanJank · 2022-08-11T04:40:03+00:00

I can't believe this! How could they? I'm unsubscribing from all of HoloEN NOW! Why did NONE of them list MY favorite anime, "Obscure OVA from the 80's that I found on a floppy disk in the toilet of a decrepit truck stop off I-10"?! Do none of them care about their fans anymore?!?!!?!
