Job for a Cowboy. Their latest album, Moon Healer, is fucking incredible. If you're into technical death metal it's a must listen

Making my own baked beans in tomato sauce. I'm trying to get it good without adding sugar, and have a killer recipe ready for when I visit my family next.

It's incredibly cheap and delicious and satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Gordon Ramsay has an excellent baked bean recipe that I make semi regularly, it does have a little sugar in it but it could be removed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've do some keto BBQ sauces, so I'm somewhat familiar with avoiding added sugar. How are you doing your recipes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Lately I've been throwing everything at it to see if anything inspires. Gochujang, soybean paste, smoked paprika, powdered ginger. And the usual stuff like alliums, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil...

I give it about an hour to simmer in some extra been water, then another hour to braise in the oven.

  1. Delicious in Dungeon. It's delightfully bonkers in a way that works for me as a very occasional anime viewer, and for all of the gore (actually middling to low for the genre, I guess), it's damn near kid-friendly in its wholesomeness level.

  2. On a brief break for the moment, but in the last year I've made 7 hand-wired computer keyboards.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

was wondering about the age rating on this - my kid loves anime, one punch man esp., but this looked like a potential watch for us both. Think a mature 13 year old would like it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that's probably about perfect. There are a few human deaths, occasionally with a fair amount of blood, though it's fairly stylized, and part of the lore involves the banal commonness of resurrection spells, so I doubt it would be too traumatizing for a teen. The rest of the gore is non-humans and often almost more like a particularly unflinching cooking show.

There's only a little bit of "nudity," and it's thoroughly PG-13. Then the character interactions and themes are pretty gentle overall, though I guess there's some realpolitik trouble brewing with some of the supporting characters.

That's neat. For what purpose- better response? Light up? Aesthetics?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Because I can? LOL.

I do try to make to make boards with layouts that are slightly unique from anything I could buy, just to lie to myself and pretend that I "have to" make them. Latest kick, which simplifies construction in a couple of ways, is making boards that have no key wider than 1.75 "regular" ones. Means I have more real estate to play with and don't need the notoriously noisy "stabilizer" hardware.

The kind of soldering you do with a handwire is also sort of relaxing, like tying fishing flies, except you burn your finger every once in a while.

3D printing. Don’t recommend it … it’s addicting.

Equal parts addiction, fun, and frustration!

Modern emo music. Started with Jank (I was late to the game and read up on it after the discovery) and I've done a deep dive into it. I'm mid-30s, always kinda looking for some new music, and the genre seems like a good mix of energy and interesting guitar licks. Just seems fun.

I say modern emo because to me emo was what the early 2000s produced.

Biblical scholarship. I'm an atheist but after listening to Data Over Dogma podcast I've become very curious about the history of the Jews and early Christians and how the respective bibles were brought together.

Wrestlemania is coming up in a couple weeks, and I've been weirdly obsessing over it.

Digital kitbashing for tabletop minis: using 3d modeling programs like Blender to hack together elements from different mini model files, in order to make custom minis to 3d print. I've even started playing around with rigging them so I can repose them easier.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's awesome. I've done Blender sculpting for video game projects, and I have a friend who is currently sculpting and kitbashing sculpts for his own minis. Definitely drop your work at any of these:

I'd be thrilled to see it come to completion, or even just see sculpting updates.

I'm still pretty early in my journey, building up a good kitbash library to pull from. Finding good models relatively unencumbered by accessories has been a task. At least some modelers upload models without remeshing, so the accessories/weapons can be removed easily, which is nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

From video game stuff, I know your exact pain. Good luck going forward.
