  • I don’t agree it has been “cheapened”, its meaning depends on the relationship itself. I am currently in a new relationship, we’ve been together for 3 months. I am the kind to be more affectionate, and am often saying that I like her. I sometimes get that back, but I wish it was more often, as I like confirmation and affection too (and I told her that much). But saying “I love you” would be… very significant for me, and we are really not there yet. And also, from what I understand about her previous history, she might very well never have been quite there, despite having been in a very long relationship, so uh, yeah. Knowing that, if I heard her say “I love you” to me, it’d be extremely meaningful.



  • I kinda freehand them everytime. But I first take an onion, chop it finely and fry it up a bit. Then I put in together with this cheap dried soy mince which I slightly hydrate and marinate in soy sauce, liquid smoke and a huge amount of different spices (cumin, cloves, herbs, nutmeg, etc, I forget all of it). I mix it with my hands thoroughmy, and also put a spoon of potato starch to make it hold together better, then make the balls and fry them.

    I usually cook without oil, but these things need a little oil in the pan to be best




  • It was fun, I liked it a lot. I played the old demo (I think it was the Griffin temple?) and liked it, I also wrote some feedback back then. The graphics and music are very cool and cozy, I like the variety of environments, and the combat is pretty easy but feels nice and cool. I like the bosses (both here and in the old demo) not having a huge variety of movesets, this might be “simple” but well done.

    The only comment I have is the platforming (again…), I feel timing the jumps gets a bit weird sometimes and I keep falling in. Might be a skill issue on my part though.

    Also, I played on Linux, and it ran flawlessly.


  • I have successfully quit smoking twice. I know it sounds silly to say successfully when it happened twice, but still: I smoked for about 10 years, about half a pack to a pack (rarely more, if drinking heavily). Then I finally decided to seriously quit, cold turkey, and managed to stay off nicotine for over 3 years. At that point I periodically tested smoking again, by asking friends at parties like “hey can I just see if it does anything for me” and could literally not pull a proper drag even, I felt as if I lost the ability to smoke, similarly to how I was before even starting.

    Then I had a very stressful situation in my life, bought a pack of cigarettes on a whim, and started smoking again. After about 6 months I decided that it was a super bad idea and stopped again. Now it’s been about 5 months clean, again.

    Anyway, the first two weeks are the worst. If you get through them, it will get way easier. At this point I can’t stand the smell of smokers, i.e. them just standing close to me. Hydrate properly, have a snack, go for a walk (though admittedly walks can suck if you’re used to smoking on them).

    Also not sure about the blunts slang, but I was able to smoke joints and take bong hits without nicotine addiction piping up.
