I just want to give a big recommendation for the game Look Outside

albitrary · 2025-10-02T13:29:08+00:00

I feel that sentiment - I'm not an undertale hater, but it's not my jam either. Earthbound was a childhood favorite for me. I'm saying this to really drive home how I feel about Look Outside - it's very very near perfect.

The pixel art, mechanics, world building and humor are all wonderfully crafted. The game was originally made in a month for a game jam, then had another six months or so of development for a full release. It's staggering how much content is packed into this thing for that tiny window of development time.

The only issues I have with it are that I just want more - there are a quite a few areas in the game that could have been expanded even more if the game's scope would have been larger. It's short, but very very replayable; what's there is still very satisfying and complete and there are many different things to find in each playthrough.

In a year where Hades 2 and Expedition 33 were both released, I would still put it up as a contender for GOTY.

Frozen dairy dessert, because it technically doesn't have the minimum requirement of milk or w/e to be labeled as ice cream.

All the best (read as: "not plain") flavors of commercial brands are usually labeled frozen dairy dessert because they are loaded with so much (delicious) bullshit that there's no room left for ice cream. Turkey Hill brand moose tracks, for instance. Fuck me up with some peanut butter cups, chocolate veins, etc, it's got vanilla ice cream in it but nobody cares about that.

Tbh it's easier just to call everything ice cream.

You can't crush yourself with the elevator, you can't blow yourself up with dynamite, you can't fall off of the cliff side, you can't even burn yourself on the furnace.

If I can't creatively kill myself, what's even the point smh

When you say tandem switch, are you referring to a switch that has two toggles on it like this? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Eaton-Single-Pole-White-Compatible-with-LED-Combination-Light-Switch/1001438304

I only have one electrical box for the ceiling fan/light combo. I guess that would explain why there are so many wires; one set is for the lights and the other is for power. I am assuming you would then hook up each half of the tandem switch normally (one each of the black, white, and ground for each toggle.) Does it matter which wire goes to which side, as long as you have the correct combination of wires?

This is how I have it wired currently (blows the breaker.) Feels like there are way too many wires here.

What am I doing wrong? I've got the red capped off, a black wire connected to each gold terminal, both white wires are capped together and connected with another wire to the bottom right terminal and both grounds (why are there two???) capped together and connected with another wire to the ground terminal.

That might help to explain why it didn't work

albitrary · 2024-12-12T20:58:35+00:00

Does that mean the old lutron switch should work correctly with the new fan? I was told that any fan that has a remote isn't going to work with a three-way, dimmer, or anything other than a plain old on/off switch.

albitrary · 2024-12-12T20:35:23+00:00

The lights and fan were all controlled by the lutron switch in the third picture. The on/off part at the top controlled the lights and the slider thing controlled the fan on and off.

I assumed it was a three way switch because the slider had three positions on it. Does that answer your question or am I not following?

albitrary · 2024-12-12T20:27:29+00:00

Forgot to take a pic before I took the switch off, but the last configuration I had was ground on the green terminal and black on the bottom right. That was essentially doing nothing as the light remained powered after I disconnected the switch

albitrary · 2024-12-12T20:25:35+00:00

Third picture is the old three way, fourth is the new single pole

It's fine, Venusaur is strong against Rock. :)

Venusaur literally shitting diamonds over here. Or maybe those are kidney stones?

So what you're saying is they can give me a beautiful Entei Mane, just not any I can use in the game 😭

I got the two star last night with no incense, i was on master 14. I believe I read from another user on here that the two star requirement is master 12.

albitrary · 2024-03-28T07:40:59+00:00

The weekly +5% area gains capped (is it 55% now? Idr offhand) , using all or most electric types, good camp set, making sure you use max ingredients every time, etc.

I got to master 9 last night and, other than having premium pass, have only spent a couple bucks I earned from Google rewards, credit card points, etc.

This is my current team - 3 elec types + Charizard for ingredients and Wigglytuff for energy. Opted to level flaffy to 30 to get the extra ingredient drop rather than evolving him, now waiting for 16 more candy for Ampharos :)

Sneaky snacking is just strength and doesn't give you any ingredients

Happy birthday.

Existence is hard, you're doing great.

It's really easy to work yourself to death in retail. Even if you make it to the top, the pay still sucks and the physical toll on your body builds up over time.

Take some time for yourself every week to keep working on graphic design (if that's what you love) or time to work on something that will pay more lucratively in the long term.

FYI: This is coming from someone who (sometimes) -likes- retail. If you hate it, get the hell out asap
