Chicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.

Pretty sure the lens flare was just added in photoshop. As far as the “tele lens” goes, I think that’s just a semantics thing. I agree that shooting straight into the sun like that would make it impossible to get that exposure.

I’m curious what game. My feeling is it must be something with a constantly changing economy?

Curious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)

Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be… 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

Man, I just didn’t get Little Inferno. Glad some folks enjoyed it, maybe I just didn’t understand what to do really? Oddly enough, the theme song pops in my head sometimes.

You’ll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that’s more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you’ll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they’re in the back yard, but there’s really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.

There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.

I’m using a set of klipsch 4.1’s as we speak, and used to drive them with an Audigy 2.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it’s hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it’s just knowing that it’s all “fake”. The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It’s like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it’s missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.

I read that any NPC/Quest that required this before will now be visible to living players. I think in the case of the BRD one, the NPC will himself appear as a ghost to living players.

My man!

Hawken

I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

Getting a teeny bit slammed for your comment, but I think the simpler answer is: you probably wouldn’t. If instagram is working for you and yours, then I’d imagine you’ll stay there. That’s totally fine. This is a thread about federated alternatives, though, so the overall subject may not apply to you.

I like pixelfed because a) it doesn’t have ads for 2/3 of the content, b) it doesn’t have reels (which IMO go against the entire point of instagram to begin with), and c) I’m specifically not looking for pictures of my friends. For me, instagram is a platform for discovering art from other people. It still works for that, but there’s so much other stuff on there getting in the way. Pixelfed is “back to basics” for what I’m looking for in an art sharing platform.

This is really a “it takes all kinds” moment for me. I can’t think of a mechanic I dislike more than weapon durability. It makes me feel like I have to “save” my good weapon and only use it for boss fights or something.

In a way, it’s cool to hear how and why someone loves it, even if I don’t relate.

Huh, there are some filtered slurs in there I’ve never heard of before! I guess this probably isn’t the place to ask to whom they apply and how, though. Still, the list isn’t as long as I expected, and doesn’t seem to apply to profanity so much as just offensive slurs. I feel like the “b-word” is a little bit of a stretch, but I can appreciate the intent there.

Thanks for giving the best answer here!

hunte… wait a minute

In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should’ve been.

I’m trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it’ll work for you

In another post, someone tried to say “resting removed face” but it came out “resting removed face”

edit: well that’s awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?
