I’m still relatively new, I have no idea what a moss stitch is, lol. The spots are formed by switching colour after every stitch on even rounds and using only black on odd rounds. It sounds annoying, but once you get used to holding the two yarns at once it’s surprisingly easy. You just grab the other colour every time you have to pull through both loops on the hook.
It wasn’t actually as hard as it looks. The colour changes were definitely intimidating at first, but surprisingly manageable. The pattern is by June Gilbank and is for sale on her site or Etsy
I got excited about a sale on toilet paper. It was 50% off for 30 rolls of the really high quality one!
I’ve been like that since 15, that’s just being a hypochondriac.
Come on man, you can’t just not leave a link.

Pretty much all of them. You go on one, search for what you want and either download it or just stream it, depending on the site.
Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it’s actually available in your country. If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that’s for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have. Oh wait, actually, you can’t watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can’t stream on two devices at the same time. Are you starting to see my point?
I admit I am exaggerating slightly, but not by much imo. Streaming services have so many restrictions and random hoops you have to jump through that piracy is just the better option. And it’s a hell of a lot cheaper on top of that.
Sling TV Blue is only $40/mo and has FOX on it.
If this guy is anything like me or a fuckton of other young people, he just doesn’t watch TV. Paying 40 bucks just so he can watch a single game is ridiculous and exactly the point most commenters are trying to make. As long as there’s no easy and cost-effective way to access certain content, people will pirate it, even if they can afford to pay.
I’m not a millionaire by any means, but I’m pretty well off. I can afford to pay for the shit I watch too, but I refuse to support an industry that makes me jump through hoops, juggle multiple services, get package deals and so on, just so I can watch a TV show. Provide a service that is at least on par with the experience pirates get and I’ll gladly pay for it. Valve managed it, why can’t the movie/TV industry?
The sequels also got way too bloated imo. If I wanted to collect 50 feathers or whatever I’ll go play a Ubisoft game.
I can’t really say exactly what made the 2013 reboot special but it felt unique. Its sequels feel like any other open world game these days.
Not owned personally but my mom’s '99 Fiat Punto I used to drive in high school was awful. 60 drunk donkeys under the hood, 0-60 of eventually, brakes that yanked it to the right if you were too aggressive on them and a battery that went flat in a few days if you didn’t drive the car. It also had the tendency to just keep revving up when in neutral until you either put it in gear and engage the clutch or shut off the engine.
Anyway, I still have fond memories of that car. Going down mountain roads was fun because it was very slow, but super light, so you could just keep the throttle pinned for the most part and the rotted out muffler made it sound like a racecar lmao.
I have two from when I was a kid. Once I was waiting at a traffic light with my mom. The light turns green and I jump out onto a street without looking. Not even half a second later a car whizzes by just centimeters in front of me. It went by so fast I have no doubt it would have killed me had it hit. That was probably 20 years ago and I still always look both ways even when the light is green.
Another one was at the beach. I couldn’t swim (still can’t) so I was walking parallel to the shore in water up to my shoulders. At one point there was a drainage pipe or something and the current from it seems to have eroded the bottom, so as I’m walking the ground suddenly goes out from under me and I feel like I’m getting pulled deeper in the sea. Luckily my mom was nearby and pulled me out pretty quickly. I don’t like going deeper than waist height into the sea since then.
I also had a more recent scary moment, which wasn’t really near death, but could have easily been very bad if there was an oncoming car. Get good tyres and don’t fuck around in the rain, kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXTThHtUqLk
I haven’t tried vinegar, but I added a squirt of lemon juice last time. It worked to prevent crystallization, but the caramels tasted kinda tart so I think I’ll abstain from using acids in the future. First time I hear about starches being used for that, but I might give it a try.
Interesting, never heard of starches being used for that. All I found online suggested invert sugar like corn syrup or some type of acid, for example lemon juice. And yes, I’m going for a soft, chewy texture.
So, I’ll just go through my Steam favourites and list the ones that fit the bill.
I recently played I Am Your Beast and absolutely loved it. Not really a story focused game, but it’s it has some of it, the voice actors are better than you would expect and the gameplay is top notch.
Pretty much all Call of Juarez games (well, maybe not The Cartel), but start with Gunslinger. The others are old and clunky, but Gunslinger still holds up and is one of my favourite arcady shooters.
Mirror’s Edge is a classic, if you haven’t played it, you definitely should. You can skip the sequel, Catalyst. That one added open world and was mediocre at best anyway.
Speaking of classics, Dishonored is probably one of the best stealth games out there, in my opinion at least. I would consider the first one fairly linear, altho the game does expect you to explore the individual levels quite a bit.
Mafia 2 (I honestly recommend you play the classic edition, you get it when you buy the definitive. It just runs better and isn’t as buggy. The remaster barely improves anything anyway) and the remake of Mafia 1. Yes, they are open world, but only by technicality. The story is very linear and you barely need to interact with said open world. The games never expect you to explore or collect stuff and there’s fuckall to do on the map besides drive around anyway.
If you like Ace combat, Project Wingman would be right up your alley. I’m not sure if I would call it simple per se, but it’s linear, level based and great.
Tactical Breach Wizards is another recent favourite of mine. It’s slightly x-com-y altho more of a puzzle than a strategy game with some pretty decent humour.
Gunpoint is another indie puzzle game with great humour. It’s by the same guy as Tactical Breach Wizards.
Since you said you like Uncharted, I imagine you might enjoy the older Tomb Raider games, before the 2013 reboot when they went open world. Legend is my favourite of them altho I know it’s a bit clunky by modern standards.
Last but not least, SUPERHOT. You probably know it, but in case you don’t, play it. It’s short, it’s simple and it’s great.
It annoys me that whatever the big yellow circle is isn’t centered in the image.
Some people believe the earth is flat, I don’t think whether the definition is scientific or not matters much lmao
Are you dual wielding mice, my man? Why do you need two? I know it doesn’t matter for your question, but I’m genuinely curious what the use case is.
People keep saying this as if it makes it better somehow. I’m not concerned about nature, man, I’m worried about my own ass and any family I might have in the future. Nature will recover, that’s a given, but I really don’t look forward to fighting in the climate war of 2050.
Yes, that is absolutely insane, I agree, and I am not trying to justify his actions. I just wanted to point out that it’s not like some kids walked up to the door and got shot they were in fact trespassing, so the headline is a bit misleading.
That’s not always the case. Some games stream in assets as you play so you might get bad pop-in or freezes. Forza Horizon 5 was nearly unplayable on an HDD for me, because the map couldn’t load in fast enough while driving quickly. No issues after reinstalling it on an SSD.
