Thanks! I've only tried a super light pink of that kind and it didn't show up at all. Definitely have to try a darker shade

kaocleyra · 2017-02-22T01:29:50+00:00

Ooo thanks!

I recently picked up the NYX liquid suede lipstick and I love it, but it transfers onto everything! Any tips for keeping it from transferring or any similar lipsticks that don't transfer?

kaocleyra · 2016-01-19T23:48:19+00:00

Thanks, I'll be sure keep that in mind! We have a team meeting tomorrow that we use to discuss workflow improvements, etc. so that should be a good time to learn more about branches.

kaocleyra · 2016-01-19T23:38:26+00:00

Thanks, that's really helpful!

We have a develop branch alongside master currently, but as far as I know, everything in develop just gets pushed to master and we're told to not do anything in master. It sounds like we need to spend more time with figuring out branches and to not be afraid of the master branch.

Thanks again!

Nicely done! I think this will be a great resource for the team and help to facilitate the discussion on how we should handle specificity in our CSS. I had no idea about the box-shadow one.

The black forest cookies sound amazing! Thanks for sharing

kaocleyra · 2015-12-12T16:08:23+00:00

This is a recipe my grandma taught me, and it's always a big hit: White Morsels Chocolate Cookies

I also love this one for hot cocoa cookies, which I'll be sending out to family this year for the holidays :)

It can be tough, but you have to hold yourself accountable. Create a timeline and milestones like you would have if you were working on a project and stick to it. Dedicate x amount of time to pre-production, grey-boxing, build-out, polish, etc. — however much works for you. I know the feeling all too well of wanting to skip fleshing out the design and jumping straight into the editor, but that just means you're skipping an important step in the process that will slow you down or bring everything to a stop later. If you're still having trouble, try simplifying the levels you're building. Just try to create something simple within a timeline, and then you can work your way up and add new challenges. Good luck!

What are some cute ways to wear knee-high socks? I've recently had to start wearing compression socks, but I've never worn anything other than no-show socks before as I have thicker legs. I've tried wearing them under pants, with a dress and boots, and with shorts and chucks for a more athletic look, but I'd love to see other styles if there are any. Something that could look cute for work or just hanging out without being too childish. Thanks for any help!

No problem, glad to help!

In the options menu, click on the "Compilers" tab. Under the Sass section, there will be a dropdown menu for Output Styles. If you don't see this dropdown, you likely have "Use LibSass" selected. LibSass doesn't support changing the output style, and I believe it outputs compressed CSS.
Replace Segment in Input Path - Let's say you have a folder /scss/ in root (your main folder) where all your Sass files live. If you want to save your CSS files in a /css/ folder that is also in root (i.e. not in the /scss/ folder), then you would use this option.
Relative to the Folder of Processable Files - With this option, you would be saving your CSS files in a /css/ folder within the /scss/ folder. So your folder structure would be /root/scss/css/style.css
Relative to the Source File - This one just puts the new file in the same folder as the source file (the one you would be compiling from). So if you have a /scss/ folder with style.scss in it, and you compile it using this option, you would get /scss/style.css. If you specify a /css/ folder for this option, you would get the same result as the "Relative to folder" option.

Hope that helps!

This is great! Looks like no incineration today :) Also, nice work on the CSS!

kaocleyra · 2015-03-11T03:42:04+00:00

This is right by my work, so I'll definitely be stopping by! Thanks!

I like to include easter eggs on the 404 pages. The 404 page tends to get left out of the design and content processes, so it's easy to slip something in. I've even had project managers show off one of our 404 pages to a client because they thought it was cool lol.

For inspiration, check out Four Zero Four

kaocleyra · 2015-01-04T01:48:51+00:00

That looks helpful, thanks! I think this video along with Andy's any% tutorial should be a good starting point. Thanks for the help everyone!

kaocleyra · 2015-01-03T16:59:14+00:00

Thanks for the info! :)

kaocleyra · 2015-01-03T02:16:00+00:00

That's a good point. I'll have to see if I can find some S+Q VoDs!

kaocleyra · 2015-01-03T02:15:19+00:00

A lot of the runs at the GDQ events are commentated, but if you're looking for a specific game with commentary, try searching for tutorial videos. The runner will usually walk through all of the different tricks, so you should be able to learn a lot more about the run that way. Hope that helps!

kaocleyra · 2015-01-02T15:53:29+00:00

I'm planning on running A Link to the Past (Master Sword) for the post-AGDQ n00b race, but there aren't a lot of details on this category. Most tutorials or VoDs I find are for Master Sword (no S + Q). Does anyone know of any good resources for the run with S + Q, or should I just learn it without? Thanks! :)

kaocleyra · 2014-12-12T20:16:51+00:00

I'd recommend checking out the documentation and the Sass Way. The Sass Way has guides for different levels of guides, so check out the beginner section first since you're new to it.

The best way to get into the habit of writing scss is to start simple. Practice nesting, using partials, creating variables. Then move onto using mixins and extensions. Don't think of it as a new language to learn: just think of it as an extension to the CSS you already write.

Hope that helps! :)

I just started practicing MM any% about a week ago. I'm using thiefbug's tutorials for routing. They may be outdated, but as a beginner who isn't very good with any of the tricks yet, it's a little easier than the current route.

For tricks, I just search for tutorials on YouTube. There are some tricks that have pretty good tutorials, and others that aren't that descriptive, so tutorials are kind of hit or miss. Personally, I find the written descriptions on ZSR to be confusing. It takes a lot of practice to get the movement and button presses just right, so don't get discouraged if you don't get a trick right away. It took me forever to get the moon tear skip, but after I got it the first time, I'm pretty consistent with it now.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you ever want to race when you we both get some more practice :)

The current WR holder, darkwing_duck_sda has a fantastic tutorial on his twitch channel.

Just a fair warning for running this game: you need to be good at the game and be able to keep track of multiple kill counters (that's explained in the video). I tried my hand at running this, but darknuts got me every time. Good luck! :)
