man THAT’S why that happens!

i just keep the one repaired tho

meanwhile i wish there was a slider that made the characters MORE chatty, the dynamic interactions are really charming to me! but i also specifically love how cliché they’re written, so can see how it’s not for everybody haha

JUST for hot deposit, yeh. the rest of the inventory/hotbar management always makes me wish i was playing something else.

the hotbar not being inventory space is fine, but tools disappearing because they’re in your hand is absurd. they really just added a “looking for the tv remote that i’m already holding” mechanic. the pinning system with filters is handy for food, but feels clunky outside that one usecase.

like they went with a realistic “the forest” style building system, and then the inventory management is the most videogamey shit in the world.

also the scroll wheel swapping hotbars by default is straight up whacky, i’ve heard the whole thing makes more sense on controller lmao

depends HEAVILY on the eye. some folks are really good at eyeballing shit. usually this goes hand in hand with other “visual calculus” skills like telling whether two things are the same size or determining angles at a glance.

reckon it’s just spatial reasoning + visualization + practice. i had an uncle who could look at a mechanical system and tell you exactly where all the wear would occur. i always thought it was some kind of savant trick until i started working on similar stuff.

the brain is just another muscle, you can train it to so all sorts of really amazing things!

i don’t think we need one?

fucken seriously. the phrasing of “you lot” is only just hitting me. that sort of passive bigotry somehow feels worse than outright transphobia.

omg a trans-inclusive space had a hostile reaction to transphobia?

someone alert the press, this is BIG.

this is gross. honestly reads like “i agree with all that BLM stuff as long as they don’t act up”

report the comments and don’t engage.

i’m sorry it’s happening, it’s something i wouldn’t wish on anyone, but just pointing at it doesn’t validate any arguments.

i haven’t seen a single person defending or encouraging behavior such as that, and i really don’t appreciate you painting your perceived enemies as bigots.

also you can etch those lil white squares surprisingly easily with commercially available glass etching creams, my mom used to fuck around with em a lot in like the 90’s i think.

maybe a difference in the actual composition of the grease? i was writing on polished stainless pots at below freezing temps, but i was ALSO using new-old-stock refills bc the current standard size is it’s own proprietary can of worms lol

side note, mechanical grease pencils are literally some of the best goddamn marking tools ever invented by humans, and the fact that we’ve moved away from them as a standard in favor of sharpie-style disposible markers is APPALLING.

there’s myriad “industrial” markers you can buy, which are generally especially well suited to one specific inclement situation. low temp markers won’t freeze, but will often bleed and feather. oil-proof markers will write on a slippery surface, but will smear and take ages to dry proper (RIP lefties). paint markers can write on anything, but only as long as the surface doesn’t immediately destroy your nib and prevent future wicking.

grease pencils (quality ones at least) go down like a crayon, stick to ANYTHING, and generally won’t smear at all. obviously no one should be writing their thesis with one, but they can do pretty much everything we use permanent markers for. they’re also cheaper and produce far less waste.

as far as i can tell the biggest downside is there’s a smaller profit margin for the manufacturers.

as is par for the course, nothing will be done.

real amateur shit but yeh

sometimes the starters on gas stoves will sound like really dope synth percussion on certain mics. i’m still looking for a good one to sample actually hahah
