My SO keeps telling me that liking salt & vinegar chips is the piss kink of snacky foods. I don't like that comparison :c

Logic [Easy: Success]: It's probably just a scammer trying to phish for your personal information. Don't accept the request.

Empathy [Medium: Success]: It might also be a very lonely person, trying to find some companionship in the wide, wide internet. Accept the request, who knows - maybe they'll surprise you?

Half Light [Challenging: Success]: Oh god, could they have seen the couch in your profile picture? OH FUCK, NO NO NO!

Honestly, as long as you're still having fun and enjoying game, I don't see an issue here. Sure, in some areas it might have gotten difficult, but if you're able to adjust

Sadly, I used to not have the luxury of donating plasma for the sake of it but at times required it to pay for bills and groceries. It's a little better right now, but it's still not ideal.

I'm sure there are others like me who can definitely use the money. It's a noble idea that people would donate for the sake of it, but it's unlikely and plain unrealistic that people are altruistic enough to do so. It's fine to incentivise them for it in my books.

The company behind the facility uses the plasma to produce drugs and probably gain way more from the single donation than the donor does in terms of money. The least they can do is pay people for their donations. I've had a pretty big discussion on this topic around a year ago or so where people from the US, for example, chimed in and said that they'd get more than 100$ per donation. Insane compared to the 25€ we get here. So even these 25€ that are frowned on by some are nothing for how much blood plasma is actually worth.

It's awesome that you're in a position where you're not "forced" to donate anything for money, but the reality is that there are loads of people who rely on that additional income and use the opportunity where possible.

Here in Germany at the facility I donate at, you need to wait two full days before you can donate again because your body needs the time to regenerate. While the toll on your body is smaller compared to a blood donation, your body still is at work to regenerate what's missing now. It's not a precaution that's put there willy nilly

  • 2-Pyrrolidone
  • Fatah al-Islam
  • Proto-Afroasiatic Language
  • Atemrhythmisch angepasste Phonation (respiratory rhythmically adapted phonation?)
  • Atemstütze (respiratory support)

The most recent one had to do with a drug I took in Disco Elysium - wanted to see if it actually exists.

Not sure about the second most recent anymore.

In university, I had learned about proto-indoeuropean and wanted to see if there's a common language ancestor for African language. Turns out there are several origin languages.

And the last two have to do with my SLP apprenticeship. Both are concepts learned about in voice therapy and the latter is also a concept learned about with singers

Are they well? What are your plans for them? Are they being looked for by friends or family?

How are your eating habits, PugJesus?

 

Most here probably have already seen, but I'm hosting a giveaway of a number of copies of different soulslikes and soulslike-esque games for Steam. All you need to do is leave a comment and you're in!

The giveaway is still up for a couple hours (10pm CET, so ~6,5h from now), so use the chance if you're in the market for some new games right now.

As a little thank you to the community, I'm giving away a bunch of soulslikes and soulslike-adjacent titles. Other people were so kind to also pitch in a couple games - lots of games to win!

I hope it's fine to post this here - let me know if it's not

 

I'm looking into 3D-printing some props for a cosplay and stumbled upon a pretty handy listing on Etsy (if I'm not allowed to post the link, I'll edit it out).

Now, I'm a complete beginner to 3D printing and know barely anything, so I've got a couple of questions.

  1. How safe is it to buy files off Etsy? Apparently, STL files are a little too large to be uploaded to Etsy, so upon making the purchase I'd get sent a txt file that includes a download link to the required files. Is that trustworthy?

  2. Are there any file types that I should steer clear off for commercial 3D printing places? I've got a place to go in my city, I think, but I'm not sure if there are any limitations to which file types can be printed at all.

  3. How likely is it that the arm prop won't fit? The listing does not specify if there are different sizes, and I'm not sure if they are even needed in the first place. In case it wouldn't fit out of the box, how difficult is it to scale the file to fit my arm proper?

  4. How expensive would printing be? Probably hard to answer unless I know where I'm going and what they are charging, but I'd imagine the cost of material is probably not too high, right?

  5. I think the seller also has the same files over on Cults 3D. Would buying there be preferable to Etsy for any reason (apart from pricing)?

That should be it. I hope my post is an ok fit for here - I'll post somewhere else if it isn't.

Thank you guys in advance!

 

Make sure to try this on a fresh profile unless you're fine with messing up your stats.

Essentially, by having two Mr. Bones active and losing by emptying your deck, you're stuck in a loop of both jokers triggering, somehow advancing into way higher antes (I think 3-digit is supposed to happen, it only went to 50ish or 70ish when I tried it tho).

There should be videos that explain it better. Just thought I'd share with you guys in case someone didn't know this glitch :)

Is it scoring enough points when the boss blind is Violet Vessel? The potential of running into Plant when playing photo chad? Is it hitting a wheel of fortune? Curious to hear what you think!

It doesn't necessarily stress me out but rather annoys me, but I really dislike having to rearrange blueprint and brainstorm to copy different jokers for different situations. I always end up messing it up and forgetting triggers

 

I wouldn't have expected Balatro to pull me in as much as it did, but here I am. I wasn't sure which platform to get the game for since I do usually play quite a bit on my phone but thought the small screen would be annoying at times, so I got the game for my iPad - best decision I could have made. My hype for the game has "died down" a little in that I don't play the game for several hours on end, everyday like I used to when it released for mobile devices, but whenever I have some downtime and don't know what else to watch/listen to while cooking, for example, I'm watching Roffle. Really just such an amazing game.

I've been playing Slay the Spire since late 2019ish and my main platform is my phone where I've racked up over 200h. Slay the Spire might the contender for one of the best games ever made, I feel like - definitely one of the best card games and rogue-likes/lites. I've beaten A20 on all characters expect Ironclad on my phone and am currently working on doing the same on my iPad. Didn't like Ironclad too much at first, but I've been grinding him these past few months and am actually enjoying my time more than I would have expected. Really looking forward to StS2

 

2009 was a different time I guess

 
 

My GF and I have recently started playing WF together and have been playing a lot. We're enjoying our time a lot and like having another multiplayer game at our disposal when Overwatch and League get on our nerves.

Now, school's starting for me again on Monday, so we tried going to sleep a little earlier last night. I kid you not, whenever I closed my eyes, I could not think or dream of something else apart from WF. Literally, just jump, bullet jump, dash over and over and random objectives that I'm clearing before my inner eye. I couldn't sleep properly, this kept going up until like 5am or something where I took a painkiller against my headache and a couple sprays of melatonin so I can fall asleep finally.

Long story short, we went to sleep around 12pm so so we can wake up at 8am for some normalcy and now it's 11am :D

I had barely even been playing the game the past two days - my brain just thought it needs another fix or something.

Something like that ever happen to you?

 

IRL, whenever I deem it fit to talk about veganism - its perks vs omni diet, environmental impact, etc. - I get a little tense but usually follow through to voice my opinions and challenge other people's views. I feel good about it because it's only to the benefit of animals if even a little seed of doubt is seeded into omni minds.

On Lemmy, I feel like there are a lot of vegans around but omnis are more prevalent. I realise that I might be "picking fights" in that I bring up veganism when the subject does not exactly "demand it", if that makes sense, but I feel like it's such a huge injustice for animals that being a little uncomfortable for the sake of animals is nothing, really.

In text, I can formulate my thoughts and make better arguments, I feel like, but so do most people on here, so I back off rather quickly. In the end, I wonder if it's even worth mentioning at all?

Do you guys do that on here? I just can't not say something. Maybe it's just wasted breath and key strokes, though. I don't know. Ty
