I've never used itch. What's good about it? What sets it apart from steam?
What are local-only comms? comms = communications or communities? I'm going to assume communities. Does that mean that hexbear can have communities that only native hexbear users can see?
Hexbear disappeared for a while. I guess they're federating with us again? What changed to make them want to do that again?
Whoa, that sounds awesome! It's better than where I live. Kindergarten is just grade 0. It's the 4 hours ish and only during typical school season.
I honestly don't know how I was supposed to get yesterday's personal order. I did 3 different bug missions, 7, 4, and 4. None spawned. I don't mind a test of skill, making sure I'm on the right level or that we spawn enough bugs to cause some spewers into the mix or that I prioritize them. All fine and good.
How am I supposed to achieve if I'm not even allowed the chance?
What kindergarten is in session during summer?
Eh. Pass. I don't care for creepy horror without something else. I liked horror comedy, campy earlier versions.
Hardspace shipbreaker. You are a wage slave in orbit, disassembling and salvaging ships and binning the components. It's very dystopian. Essentially it's a puzzle game, to maximize profit and completion rate, but with physics and lasers.
I don't watch babish because he stopped making the videos about a food in a show or movie.
I love Philly d, I like him better than traditional news channels, but watching just made me depressed.
No one adjudicator mains? Freaking love it. Short burst or single shots for small things, medium armor pen so it handles anything under a charger. In a pinch can handle heavy devastators. Good ammo, (clip is a little small) and reloads fast. Good range. I never use anything else.
Every Friday at 3PM US Eastern, Varist goes live in a bizarre attempt to entertain complete strangers with music he likes. These are those sessions.
I love DJ Varist's live 1 hour sessions. They're great bg music for working. He does them most every Friday. Here's a playlist of them. Queue this up, hit random & let it roll all day.
Is there a list of suggested image hosts?
Eh, it's anime. Everything's exaggerated. Have you ever seen cock plate? It's a real thing, and just as silly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armor_of_Ferdinand_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor

My biggest frustration with community building is how it's so hard to do natively in game. (I play WoW.) Typing is slow and takes away time from DPS, especially if you are in a group with impatient veterans who want to chain pull. There needs to be quick communication, like a wheel or something. (I use Opie to create this, macro common sayings, like in Helldivers.) I need a V button like from Deep Rock Galactic. Give me fast way to communicate simple emotes and I'll build from there.
Additionally, I'll never see the people in PUGs again. Why bother being friendly? In Vanilla, we had the same server, a reduced population. I could literally run into a person in Ironforge a few days after a group. (Don't group with that guy, he'll yell at you for jumping.) I'd see the same names in trade chat. (Oh, that's the nice blacksmith that made my sword!) When everything is cross server, the population is so large and I'll never see them again, and 1 dungeon run is not enough to know if someone is worth making friends. Friends happen by repeated forced interaction and then realizing later that you liked them.
I also think that a 3rd place would help. Give me a space and a reason to be there. Only running dungeons thru magical teleport menus is immersion breaking and doesn't foster any social interactions. Chat channels spamming LFG was terrible and slow, but at least you talked to people. The Theme Park nature and menu driven dungeons build zero community.
Seeing all the compression artifacts reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaUIyvy8E8
> Abstract Sanitation effectiveness of 3D-printed parts for food and medical applications has been established in a 4-month lab study and controlled tests. The present study examined the continued use of sanitation techniques across 3 more months of testing and experimentation in household kitchens. Multiple specimens of the most common thermoplastics for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), were printed with a range of settings to test for pathogen contamination, biofilm production, bacteria, or other pathogens masking (hiding) in the layer lines, gaps, and other imperfections of said prints. This study investigates methods of sanitation and cleaning to reduce or eliminate pathogens along with its biofilms from the defects and interstitial spaces that naturally occur in FFF printing. Results from various testing methods used in hospitals and FDA approved microbial surface testing, indicate that 3D printed parts of PLA/PLA+ (Polylactic Acid), and PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol) can be cleaned to safe levels using warm water (120 °F), and non-concentrated dish soap. Examination and verification of cleanliness were completed via Petri dish preparations, and protein residue testing. It was found that Colony Forming Units (CFU) and Plaque Forming Units (PFU) had been reduced by 90%. Experimental results indicate that using 2g of baking soda, when used with soapy water, eliminates biofilms by chemical and physical action, neutralizes acidic bacteria, and removes mucus. It is recommended and tested by surgical technicians, that a 2-minute room temperature bleach water soak (200ppm), after washing and rinsing should be done to ensure pathogens are at safe levels. Acetic acid from vinegar was tested as well via petri dish for CFU reduction and can effectively eradicate biofilms due to the ability to penetrate the biofilm matrix and the cell membrane. It is noted to the reader that sanitation in this context refers to the method of bringing a surface or object to safe levels of cleanliness for food or medical preparation and storage. Furthermore, mass spectrometry readings indicate that no contamination from heavy metals, or other toxins are present in PLA+, and PETG before and after printing. Lastly, filaments made from a pull-trusion method from recycled soda or water bottles has been tested as well. When using 3D-printed items for liquids, it is highly recommended to coat the 3D-printed parts in resin. This is a simple, fast, safe, and very effective way to smooth parts to ensure easy cleaning.

any other communities y'all think this would fit in?
Based on this https://www.morebeer.com/products/chocolate-hazelnut-porter-jamil-zainasheff-grain-kit.html but scaled down to 3 gallons. Came closer to 2 tho. Lost more than expected to boil, I guess.
