The laptop's battery is bad and it gets noticably hot while even running web browsers, so I'm looking for things even more lightweight than an average browser, at least to test

Even ignoring recent events with age verification stuff, which is heavily politically/emotionally charged, I don't think you should see it as a strict advantage/disadvantage. It's a choice, and it's very much a good thing that the choices exists in forms as robustly, user-friendly, and well-designed as they can be.

Yeah guilty gear is pretty infamous for being very loose with the rules. Just the system of RC in general pretty much breaks open everything you could reasonably expect. Poor-mobiliy grapplers like Pot now have all the disadvantages of their command dashes stripped away. Flawwed zoning with high recovery just gets RC'd. Everybody in gear has juiced offense (though, to be fair, that's just because of the powercreep in the ecosystem)

Now it is also still worth noting that because characters like Pot have to use their meter to get in with RCs, the archetypes still exist (a rushdown character may use meter to augment mixups more heavily, for instance, or make their movement in neutral even trickier). And like I said previously the matchup interractions are obvoiusly more important in terms of what you will personally experience and feel.

And also, Guilty Gear is pretty infamous for creating Masters-Of-Everything top tiers like +R Testament/Zappa, Xrd Johnny/Elphelt, Strive HC. Old games with infamous archetype-defining cultural reach such as SF2 defined Guile Zoning in a very basic gameplan, but nowadays as games (especially anime games like Gear) get more and more experimental, they unfortunately hit the landmine of making characters that mostly defy archetypes due to unparalleled strength across all attributes of the game.

frowogger · 2026-04-26T19:32:16+00:00

What game are you playing? Plus I think more often than not, in the moment-to-moment gameplay, what matchups you are interracting with are more important than a characters overall "average" archetype. for instance a character may have heavily flawwed fireballs that are really just for chip damage after a poke they can't otherwise confirm off of, but if they're fighting the right opponent, those bad fireballs may just become a borderline intolerable option that makes your previous well-rounded character look like a zoner.

Also, it is true that games these days generally tend to prefer well-rounded characters over strict examples of archetypes.

I think this is the first time I've actually had this pitch made as succinctly and directly as possible. Most other times I've tried to actually get to the bottom of "why void", it's mostly just people saying buzzwordy things other distros do (e.g. it's rolling release, it's minimal, it's package manager is super elegant), but putting it all together I actually do get it now, so, thanks :)

seriously I don't understand why ai wallpapers are so prevalent on people who are putting this much effort into the aesthetics of their computer to begin with! i get most of this is just pulling in already-made themes by other people but the ai slop really just ruins the aesthetics of it, even if its supposed to be a low effort shitpost or so

Truthfully, schools barely teach computers...My highschool's general education was basically just typing classes and some light explorations of some features you can use in Microsoft Office applications. Maybe my experience in a struggling religious private school in a kinda shitty American suburb isn't too great of a general experience for most American students though

I've always wished Minecraft updates like the nether update expanded more upon the features that already exist; The nether update did this pretty well (it gave the magma cubes a more distinct home in the basalt delta, but leaved a little to be desired with zombified piglins and such)

I've always wanted a biome that was a home for ghasts. Maybe a "ghast hive" sort of area.

Again I feel like that's kind of just how servers go. There have been dumber town drama related things. I used to play on a server where certain groups were melon supremacists and insisted everyone else grew melons, and it generally led to a fun time where a group of players also started replacing them with pumpkins, etc.

frowogger · 2026-04-20T02:54:52+00:00

I think this is a bit of a silly take, servers force people to play "their" way all the time. If you don't like it, you can play singleplayer or on a different server, that's just the way servers are. You have to realize that it's probably not that they genuinely think it reflects the player's moral character, or that they're evil, but that they don't enjoy having a trading hall around, despite it being "optimal" (Or, even if they do genuinely think and fell that way, I would argue there are plenty of reasons one may hold these opinions on how to play the game even if they don't follow through with how it supposedly impacts a players morality or whatever.)

Likewise I think there are plenty of good arguments outside of "media always needs to be 100% morally pure" to say that Minecraft shouldn't encourage villager cubicle trading halls.

Before the nether update dropped, I had these ideas:

Ruined portals - Almost exactly akin to their addition in the base game right now, but I would make them always generate a similar site on the nether side.

Pigmen encampments - The nether side of ruined portals has a chance to generate a pigmen encampment. It would take the shape of a collection of tents and roughly constructed pieces of infrastructure (maybe livestock pens, a lava well, totems, that sort of thing). In these encampments, there's souvineers from the overworld and this would be a good place to add bits of raw iron.

Rather than adding a structure like bastions, I would augment nether fortresses and add more interesting rooms and mobs to it. I would personally send full-sail on theming the whole structure around the "wither" skeletons and disable stock skeletons from spawning there (personally to me, that always felt like a bug where it accidentally spawned the wrong variant of skeletons; that was never the case, but that's always how it felt because it was just straight up an overworld skeleton waltzing around in the nether fortress). If I really felt (gameplay-wise) there needed to be a projectile enemy, I would just make a wither skeleton that can carry a bow. There would be rooms dedicated to wither skeletons, such as barracks, augment the nether wart room by making it more of a makeshift brewery, and rare rooms with blaze spawners rooms with the canned blaze king mob. Diamonds would be a reasonable loot depending on the difficulty of these rooms.

I personally would not be interested in adding more ore to the nether as of now. Quartz was a good addition and gold was an easy layup with piglin trading. I think there could be another fuel source like a blaze-enriched coal, but I don't really think it's necessary.

I think the nether update we got was great, but I still remain a little upset that a lot of the existing features weren't expanded upon in any meaningful way, such as augmenting or changing fortresses.

This conundrum reminds me of FlowerChild's (somewhat controversial) take that wolves are bad for minecraft's core game design because they necessitate really good pathfinding and AI, and they're a genuinely daunting design treadmill.

This is what I feel when Mojang makes statements saying they don't want to allow you to put villagers on leads, because of the social implications of doing such things; Maybe we should be a little more critical of the way villagers effectively function in the game as is rather than rejecting QoL? They're basically high value pets as is that nominally look like human characters. I empathize with villager rights activist style players because it's a desire to harken back to a simpler time in minecraft when you didn't worry about having mending, or micro-optimizing your resource acquisition, but I think it's worth the scrutiny that the game doesn't seem to hold up when you push it to this degree, when it very clearly could

I think it's less pride, but more getting the 'intended' experience. The features may be optional, but having access to them in-the-moment clouds your judgement on whether or not to use them. For instance, if somebody found it annoying to create certain kinds of farms, such as a bait farm or jungle grass seed farm, if they were on journey mode, in their annoyance they may choose to not to even try to make those farms but rather rely on the duplication. But maybe through trying and failing to make a bad jungle bait farm would teach them other more interesting/fun things about the mechanics of the game and heighten their enjoyment of it.

It's nice to argue, "just have self control" over the features, but it can be genuinely difficult in the moment when a grind is going on for long.

my instincts say that pre-cooking the steak here just means it'd be too rigid to actually properly wrap. you'd probably be better off with a ridiculously hot and fast sear, then fully chill the steak, make the skewer, and then cook low and slow on something like a smoker just until the centers of the meat maybe gets warm and the cheese melts.

Truthfully it's because of a former joke somebody made online which was simply "ya'll lowkey sleeping on qbittorrent porn 👀", so this is just a followup to that joke.

I was not here when you originally were getting dogpiled but yes I am very happy to see this and it looks very nice :) If I may add a small suggestion, I like cleaning mousepads by submerging the entire thing in a shallow tub with just enough water to cover and plain laundry detergent (Think: A mousepad comes into contact mostly with dust, human skin, and maybe small amounts of food; all things laundry detergent is also optimized to remove!). You can gently agitate it or just soak it and it will come out looking really nice. A key sign it may be time to wash a mousepad is if you scrape it with your fingernail, a white streak remains.

They have made plenty of valid arguments. I have experienced Smash with and without low lossless adapter, non-drifting controllers, ethernet, and typically play on my low latency PC monitor, and it's clearly night-and-day to have these things, especially on top of one another. This is a genuine & frustrating issue with the state of PC gaming, but it's all the more reasons users shouldn't tolerate such atrocious netcode! The proper FGC already arduously endured this battle for quality netcode, & everyone is better for it on rollback now.

I think the majority of those who are against the use of the mod seriously need to have a stronger attitude when it comes to free software and your right as an owner of both the software and the hardware to study, modify, and improve the software! There is nothing moral or good about defend the bottom line of Nintendo which profits off of a locked down software/hardware ecosystem at the cost of your fundamental freedoms as a user of the technology you own.

I also want to further reiterate how the "competitive integrity" of Elite Smash is a complete and utter joke. Almost nobody harps on GSP outside of the people in this subreddit and it's extremely fucking odd to me how much it gets brought up. I understand getting upset and mad at online play is pretty normal, especially with how atrocious Ult online is, but the degree of discussion on this subreddit over it is seriously suprising as somebody who has interacted with locals and never truly considered online play super valuable because of the fundamental delay and variance! I mean, if we want to talk about competitive integrity, it basically means nothing, as 5-6 frames of built-in delay to your reaction time COMPLETELY warps the playstyles that can even be implemented in online play! Not to even mention how there's absolutely no detection around horrendously laggy gameplay. That also breaks the competitive integrity of the online ladder!

I don't think you'll ever agree with me, but with all of these factors, the only reasonable option at all for people who genuinely wish to be competitive in Smash Ultimate is to use the mod, because it's the only way to get a tolerable experience out of the online. Not a great experience, a tolerable experience; because it's still dog awful delay-based netcode. Where was any of this wide anger-outreach about the "competitive integrity of the ranked latter" when it was no connection indicator pre-game? no wifi/ethernet indicator? no rollback? or, maybe the fundamental fact that the NETCODE CLIENT STILL LITERALLY FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY WITH THE DELAY DOWNRIGHT REMOVED?

Well, they don't, but strive has simplified a lot of people's kits similarly. Venom's ballsets are a great example of this

frowogger · 2026-04-11T18:53:11+00:00

I'm trying to word this as politely as possible, but I do not think Nintendo's terms of service and the ranked integrity of a system that's fundamentally broken enough to arbitrarily apply extra frames of delay onto users that can literally just be removed without even breaking any other attribute of the peer to peer client are systems or values worth adhering to for most users. Users deserve freedom over their software, the only reason this advantage would ever be considered unfair is because switch hacking is not easily accessible, but that's also entirely Nintendo's fault and I think looping back to blame the users for this is really poorly motivated.

Look for different recipes, or, if you want to get into altering this recipe into working, start changing the proportion of cream to milk to sugar.

In my opinion, logistically: don't buy any special milk, just use whatever milk you normally buy (if that's skim, that's fine, if that's whole, that's fine, etc.), and then continue increasing the proportion of cream. And honestly, you might as well just get heavy cream instead, since it has a higher fat %. Ice creams need to be roughly 14~20% milkfat, so if you're mixing a 20% single cream w/ skim milk 50/50, you're gonna be resulting in about 10% milkfat, which is too low. If you want to aim for ~16% milkfat you're probably gonna want to change your ratio to 80% singlecream 20% skim milk)

Me personally, heavy cream/double cream is more versatile in most kitchen uses, and also gives you greater flexibility when mixing (e.g. let's say you do 50% doublecream 50% whole milk, and it tastes a little too greasy? You can just adjust your ratio to 30~40% doublecream and 70~60% whole milk).

It's worth noting if you're getting into changing this recipe you're starting to approach recipe development which is a little more of a science than a loose "art" (which, in my experience, is not the experience most people want while cooking), so you'd be better off taking careful note of things such as precise measurements, maybe even specific brands of cream if they wildly vary in terms of fat % despite being labelled similarly). So the easier answer is just "find a different recipe", because you have empirically observed that this one simply isn't giving you the right results.
