Honestly I like the slowness and the small size. Even on lemmy, posting in bigger communities just gets you attacked or argued with by bitter people and it's just kinda sucks. I call it reddit dissease, but its pretty prominant in most other places too.
Small lemmy communities are a breath of fresh air because most people are there to commune rather than argue or judge. Prime example was Lemmy circa 2023
Tis the season for medically inaccurate skeletons
Looks delicious! There are a couple of techniques to get good pics of food; here are a couple I can think of off the top of my head:
Take the picture in an area void of distractions like an empty table
Center the item of interest in the middle of the plate and make sure it's clean of crumbs or fingerprints
Use garnish to make colors pop (e.g. like green chives on white mashed potatoes)
Take the pic in good lighting, sunlight from a window is best
Get close enough to the food to fill the whole frame, leaving a little space on the edges . Get even closer to get good food textures
Chili powder is a good one to have. I make mine from arbol, guajilo, and ancho chilis. Adjust arbol for spice, ancho for richness and flavor, and guajilo for tang and smoke.
Edit: typo
A lot of pre-1990 games are pretty clunky, so you kinda have to see them either as someone from the era would or try to appreciate them for what they are today. That being said, a lot of them are still fun with this in mind.
The Gauntlet series is probably my favorite early game. It's better played with 2-4 people, but can be played alone. It's essentially a dungeon crawler, but the levels and enemies are interesting and fun to navigate.
Some other good ones are Dig Dug (pacman but more fun and underground), Galaga or Galaxian (arcade space shooters), Adventure for the Atari 2600 (first rpg and first easter egg in video game history), Rampage (be a giant monster and destroy buildings), 1943 (airplane shmup (shoot em up) with cool powerups and pixel art) and toobin (also a shmup where you're on an inertube and navigate perilous waters. Sounds boring but it has really cool level progression and game mechanics later in the game).
The Halo 4 theme was so good that I would let it play out before starting a game most of the time. Definitely my favorite title theme.
Some other good ones are Skyrim, LOZ Ocarina of Time, and Star Wars Republic Commando
I've used most yt frontends (freetube, invidious, newpipe, etc.) and Grayjay is probably the one that breaks the least for me. Google is constantly trying to break all of them, so they are all on and off, but Grayjay seems to be on top of fixing breakages very quickly. It's not perfect, but it is definitely worth the privacy pros.
Autocorrect lol. I indeed meant "Cavender's"
Me putting horsey sauce on everything 👀
I love using turmeric. You'd be srprised how well it pairs with so many things, plus it's very healthy. It goes naturally with a lot of middle eastern and south asian food, but you can also add it to sauces and soups for warm and earthy notes (if that's your thing like me).
As for spice mixes, I love Cadaver's greek seasoning. It's pretty simple (salt, pepper, organo, with a few others) and you can enhance pretty much anything with it
Lemmy and their hatred for beans...
I love homemade refried beans. The haters are definitely missing out
