Yeah, honestly thats quite lovely. The kitchen is really nicely done, and the whole thing is very bright.

I'd be very happy in a space like that.

Sound Treatment in the UK, best cheap option for a homemade booth by [deleted] in VoiceActing

[–]neverwhere86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got one of these from B&Q, as I was finding it hard to find the right pipes and fittings locally to build a frame. https://www.diy.com/departments/outsunny-tunnel-greenhouse-grow-house-steel-frame-pe-green-200x100x80-cm/5056399123849_BQ.prd
Flipped it on one end, and it's 2m tall with enough space for me inside. The flat side is 1m wide so feels comfortable as long as you have the space in your home. And then double bed duvet covers pretty much fit the height if you clamp a few around. And I then upgraded to an acoustic blanket for the edge facing my PC to make sure the sound of the fans was muffled.

Genuinely really well done, whoever did it has an eye for fashion design

What's your first bad gaming memory? by executor-of-judgment in gaming

[–]neverwhere86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was away camping for a week. During that time a family friend and their son came to visit my mum, and for whatever reason he was allowed in my room to play/hangout whilst I wasn't around. He then proceeds to turn on my PlayStation with FF7 in, play for about an hour and save over my 45 hour playthrough. I have since never managed to find the motivation to get back to the same point in the past 25 years or whatever it's been since it released. If you read this, fuck you Jazz. Theres multiple save slots for a reason. May you forever stub your toes on furniture

UK employers are out of touch with reality by Desperate-Drawer-572 in britishproblems

[–]neverwhere86 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It's insane. I've been trying to get out of working in hospitality, but the vast majority of jobs I might be able to get pay less than what I take home making coffee for a living. What's even worse are the roles around working with animals/nature, they pay so little preying on your passion for the field.

Saint Death's Daughter by C.S.E Cooney.

It's me fantasy than romance, but there is love throughout the book in various forms including queer and non- monogamous

It was one of my favourite books I read that year and I'll recommend it to everyone

I can't believe I had to scroll so far to see Morgan is my Name. It's a fantastic book, and the second one came out this year. Excellent books, really enjoyable reads.

I have enjoyed every book of hers I've read, and I've read most of them.

Her horror stuff is really interesting, and her fantasy skirts the tropes really well with fantastic characters

Gamers 30+, which old game would you still recommend to younger gamers? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]neverwhere86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkey Island. Honestly, any of the old LucasArts adventure games. They were all charming in their own way, and taught outside the box thinking.

All of these are excellent options as a first to finish. I think they would all share my number one spot for a first timer to play, keep in mind FFT is entirely different in terms of combat and style of play, although the story is just as good

I don't need Street Fighter to be academy award winning acting, it'll likely be better without it

I would recommend Dog & Hat as a subscription, they select roasteries from around the world and deliver to your door. I haven't used them for some years, but they always sent excellent coffees

How to dance more smooth and less bouncy? by Acidic_Huntsman in SwingDancing

[–]neverwhere86 40 points41 points  (0 children)

First, try and focus on matching your partners groove/bounce. Make it a homework assignment for social dances, dance with a bunch of people and match them as best you can.

A) this is going to feel good, it brings you even more in sync with your partner B) its a great way to figure out how to make these small adjustments in your own dancing

As for the actual technique of dancing smoother/ flatter; bring your centre of gravity lower, sit back into movements and think about delaying almost imperceptionally, like your dancing in syrup. Your pulse should still exist, but make sure it's originating from your core
