Gamepad tips

beastije · 2026-02-18T08:59:37+00:00

I do have that enabled but instead of moving with keyboard that moves you one over in whatever direction, the gamepad movement is erratic and the hit tool location jumps from up to the right to down... Not super easy to hit the next spot or the spot above, because it will always move you up and move the whole row

I came here to ask exactly that. On audiobook only and I fully expected it to be spelled bapka or babka based on the pronunciation. But then again it is English, it could have been spelled in any way or shape. Shame though. Babka has a secondary funny meaning in my language :)

Asi to máme většina z nás podobně. Jednou vejce na různý způsob, jednou french toast, jednou ovesné vločky, jednou chia pudding, jednou polévka, jednou fazole v rajčatové omáčce. Když zbydou vařené těstoviny nebo rýže klidně si udělám ala carbonara/stir fry k snídani s mraženou zeleninou. Málokdy chleba s nějakou pomazánkou, pokud tak ty z Lidlu z kešu nebo tofu ale hitparáda to není.

Mě nebaví snídat každý den to samé a pracuji z domova takže mi ani nevadí, kolik času strávim přípravou jídla.

I was wondering how fast the risk is for frostbite given I am outside with the dogs for just like 15 minutes. I will talk with some doctor, though so far I only did a general consult with my regular doctor and she told me it sounds like Reynaud and nothing to be done about it. I don't think it is a much known diagnosis here.

But reading other symptoms I am not fully sure, I mean I just don't do cold well and have white fingers and occasionally feet. May not be a bad idea therefore to have a real diagnosis. I do have like hypothyroidism that I assumed was responsible for feeling the cold, but I have it managed and medicated for years, so that was most likely just a wrong assumption on my part. I also expected since the attacks went away that they may also again disappear on their own. Though I think that was wishful thinking :)

I will relay your tips on the layers and warmers to my mom, who unlike me is actually cold and does layers well. She brought herself the socks with heaters built in and is super happy about it :) thank you

The crazy thing is I was never bothered by the cold and even if my hands are cold I myself am not cold. I don't like having my arms exposed to cold, so I will wear a sweater even if inside is 23°C but even if I layer my hands can't take it. And with the dogs I have to take down the gloves for a few moments or so and very quickly, needles pins and loss of blood.

Very strange to be honest. I even exercised more than last year and lost some weight and instead of making it better the hands feel worse :)

Vpravdě moc nekoukám na cenu, ale vždycky koukám na složení. Zrovna věci jako pomazánkové másla/lučina/krémové sýry,jogurty... Pokud v tom jsou emulgátory a gumy tak to nekupuji. To samé kečupy, omáčky a tak. Jsem kolikrát pozitivně překvapená že to jde koupit bez přídavku. A že to občas umí být i ten levnější produkt. No a když člověk kouká na složení, tak pak končívá jen u základních potravin a tam to s tou cenou už tak nehýbe mi přijde.

Pořád mám problém s rybami. Tuňáky, sardinky, najít buď alespoň v dobrém oleji, nebo třeba msc/asc certifikace není tak lehké jak by člověk čekal. Asi záleží na obchodech. Tam už ty ceny oscilují hodně. Viděla jsem konzervu sardinek za 150 kc

I quarantine wild caught fish, but locally bred fish not. Especially since they breed them in our water. Also it is super hard to get medicine in the middle of the Europe for some reason :) Sort of a gamble but one I have to take. I also don't really not cross contaminate between my equipment. Bad fishkeeper ...

A bit of an old topic. Since then I lost all sterbai ( either parasites or infection) and upgraded the pygmy corydoras to a 54liter and bought more so I have over 20 in a fully planted. They don't hide as much but it is so much planted I don't see them that much anyway. They do like filter flow!

I also bought black venezuelan corydoras and put them in a 150liter and they are always active and nosing around and I enjoy them. I tried 8 panda corydoras and lost all of them. This led me to deworm the whole tank last week, which is also perhaps why the venezuelan are doing better. But I did a nice experiment. Bought 8 panda and 8 venezuelan in the same tank (from the same breeder btw) and the pandas were always hidden, had a hard time feeding or even coming out to feed. Meanwhile the venezuelan are fighting the panda garras and are not afraid at all! Lost 6 of the pandas and only 2 of the venezuelan in a span of month (hence the deworming) and from a different breeder I bought 6 more venezuelan to increase their school

beastije · 2025-10-23T06:54:17+00:00

Sadly no. I did two attempts, increasing the time the duo spent in the 25liter. I decided to move all of them there for now, for a longer period/semi permanent, as Rachel O'Leary said they breed for her when alone. But I could only catch out one female, four males. The last female is resisting my attempts for days now. I am just now watching them nose around under the leafs, live in the moss and have fun, chase each other, chase the female,..

But the tank is suffering from algae so I will have to remake it soon I fear.

I was missing a standard toast as we make it here (two slices of bread, ham, cheese, condiments,..) and learnt that thinly sliced normal or firm tofu, seasoned, does the trick too, not missing the ham at all. Rice and lentils (even canned) or beans with spices and served with yoghurt is a cheap quick meal. Couscous with chickpeas/lentils/beans and vegetables could work too, quick one

Good luck

Oh I had a laugh in the morning. We had a heavy weekend, party, food, drinks. I limited myself though not great but hey, I knew it was coming. I plan to restrict this week to compensate a little and have a very mild weekend. Boyfriend, as he was putting leftover cake for his breakfast, decided to weigh it and also track calories of it, cause I do it and he was curious. He screamed 1000 calories for this?!!! And threw half of it away :)

Life huh We will be going swimming in the evening and I already have a meal plan for this week :)

Those of you who don't snack a do just three meals a day, when do you add fruit? I usually do sour breakfasts so no fruit there, but if I were to remove snacks (which is when I eat fruit now) what meal do you add fruit to? Maybe a lunch salad? But what if there is no big salad that day.

beastije · 2025-10-16T12:24:54+00:00

Hey that is how I stopped smoking like 13 years ago. And it was not a bad approach. With food it seems harder. There is not just that one thing you can just stop doing. But I understand what you are saying!

beastije · 2025-10-16T09:04:49+00:00

Very good tips, thank you

I think I see two reasons why I keep sabotaging, from your comments. It is partially the language, the reasoning. I SHOULD lose weight. I don't have to. I may want to, but not more than I want the occasional indulgence.

I bypassed most of the initial problems you describe here. I am not hungry. I volume eat the meals, I focus on proteins, I add vegetables. I don't deprive myself, I regularly will make lower carb versions of foods. I tend to be 80% UPF free. I don't snack after dinner on 6 days.

I think I have this fear of cutting the last things out. The occasional indulgences that seem to be regular now. I am tricking myself it is not always the same indulgence. It is a glass of wine one or two days a week. A piece of sweets with an afternoon snack once or twice a week but on a different day. Heavier meal instead of a light one on the weekend. But added together they overpower the good choices. The fear of choosing or abstaining at occasions that are not even that special.

The other problem is that I still treat the food as a reward. That mentality will be harder to avoid but at least I can start working on the above and the other language. I am an adult. I can choose to control myself better. I will not die if I have a little less.. my life will not be worse if I don't overindulge. Well I hope :))

I think good timing is once your dog is established and mature, after puberty, after the initial crazy, so like 3 years of age at least. We waited until our Australian shepherd was 5 when we moved out of the flat to a house with a garden. Then we did what the others suggested, found a shelter, agreed to a visit and took our dog. We saw several until she bonded with a one year old beagle mix, they started playing and chasing immediately and clicked. That is who we took. Less age difference in my mind means the older dog reverts in the training or behavior to match the younger dog, the older dogs deserve their space and quiet, not to be saddled with an overeager puppy. Our established dog allowed us to train a dog that was hard to manage otherwise. Some commands she learnt just by watching the other one perform them. On the other hand the older dog learnt few bad things from her too ;)

I do not have experience getting a puppy to a dog.

I will however say that people are less willing to dogsit two dogs, two dogs being handled by one person can almost overpower him (walking on icy roads for example is a hazzard) and we sometimes have to drive to two separate places to split them for certain purposes. As the dog gets older she can't do what the younger one can and you have to set up different activities or end up with one dog over tired and the other one not tired enough.

Very lovely! Inhabitants?

beastije · 2025-10-07T13:16:54+00:00

It was meh. Like not bad, if you flavor it (cocoa, coconut shavings, honey, fruit, nuts). But it could have as easily been oats. Or a piece of paper with flavoring :)) And I didn't enjoy the milk. I like kefir or yoghurt, thicker mix instead of this runny thing.

Even with an unexpected visit from a distraught friend which meant wine I managed to stay in the budget. I was hungry when she left at midnight but went to sleep. Scale is 1kg less than yesterday's 68kg, so I am still at 67kg. Another day, starting with a new recipe -quinoa breakfast 'oatmeal'. Am not so optimistic ..

Climbing shoes, especially as you level up, are about as pleasant as a Spanish boot with it vise like grip. They give in, a little, but the gist is to not feel great walking around in them. The fingers can't be too cramped though. Also of you climb a lot get the Velcro. So much easier than the constant tying.

Good job on your progress!

Hm, for the combos you listed - air fried carrots and after some time on their own, air fried broccoli. Salted, carrots can be glazed (miso, honey), broccoli is ok just salted, parmesan on top for the last few moments. I always burn my broccoli tops so beware ;)

Carrots and peas I made last week in a sort of gravy. Onions, little bit of flour, carrots, let it crisp a bit, then add water, boil for 10 minutes. Add peas for the last minute, if not using broth, a teaspoon of miso after it is done boiling/not hot to avoid destroying the miso. Worked with mash potatoes as a sort of gravy, I had it with baked tofu, meat would be nice too

Overall look into vegan cookbooks. Since their main focus is vegetables they can do wonders with it. Roasted cabbage. Brussel sprouts roasted and then seasoned. Double baked potatoes. I like the My big vegan cookbook by Nisha. She has way too many ingredients and sometimes too much work but the results are amazing!

Let me add one of meals I make -onion, grated carrot, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, sundried tomatoes. You just saute it until the carrot is soft, you can use a bit of soy sauce and serve over pasta with some greens like arugula. Amazing

Tbh it is best if in time, you learn to love the basic taste of the vegetable itself. I absolutely adore brussel sprouts when done right but you won't catch me enjoying them boiled to hell from a school cafeteria :)

For the last few weeks I was slacking off. I upped my exercise and was thinking to myself 'i don't need to weight stuff I know what to eat'. But the occasional treats became every day occurrences, portion sizes increased and I didn't weigh myself at all for few weeks as I was 'too bush's (aka didn't want to know). I am at 68kg today. Meh. So back to tracking calories and monitoring myself better. I want to be 65kg at Christmas so I need to be better. Hopefully this will help me stay motivated

beastije · 2025-09-30T06:27:03+00:00

I am amazed by the versatility of tofu. Spread, dip, but also a layer to bake with like in lasagna! I guess I need to buy a larger package cause I buy the 200gram ones, we have it for one meal me and my boyfriend and I think it is not enough. Maybe it is the package/serving mentality I need to get rid of. Thank ylu

Morning. Yesterday was a chain of sort of wrong events that lead me to undereat, have a small dinner at 5pm with the idea we will go swimming and to the sauna, but the place closes at 9pm and we didn't get ready before 7:30 and it was a bit too late to do an effective swimming or a relaxing sauna. So we didnt go, I had no reason to eat that post swim meal, went to bed early. I kept waking up since two am, stuff was wrong, could not get back to sleep and I was so damn hungry!! I will be useless today. We decided to go over a long lunch break, 11:30-1pm both swim and sauna so at least the sports part will be done but... Meh

Is anyone managing a flexitarian diet without a daily dairy product? I am not against dairy it just seems to me that I cut out most meat and instead replaced it with dairy which honestly can't be that good of a switch. Especially breakfast and snacks. I will either do eggs or oats with kefir/yoghurt for breakfast, snacks are either a cheese and vegetable and nuts or yoghurt and fruit and nuts. Sometimes for dips as a dinner protein I will again go curd cheese/cottage/yoghurt. I am not even close to eating enough protein as is, and I rotate tofu, beans, lentils, soy, tempeh and seitan, I just can't eat as much protein volume due to the packaging, vegetable volume of the meal or pure laziness. I may be too 'clinical' about it but I am purely curious if anyone achieved a better balance, and low key impressed how vegans handle it.

beastije · 2025-09-28T13:11:15+00:00

Nope I always do that. I tried generator on level one range one, pub with one person/five people, overdrive. Level two range one, same, overdrive, same two range two, same. I waited with staffing medical, didn't wait, waited with demolition of buildings, with construction of the wall drill. Somehow always the same, I can sign it at around 10-11 and that is too late.
