That’s not meat.

It’s okay if you don’t eat meat, and it’s okay to just say that; I’m just more annoyed at the whole trend of “meat substitutes” when you can just… not eat meat.

Tofu is an awesome ingredient, used in an incredible variety of dishes. To reduce it to something it isn’t trying to be is such a waste of a good ingredient.

Probably the Arbiter from Halo.

I mean, I got loads, but he’s first on my mind rn.

No. Look, it’s reference; as long as it’s reference and not a study or copy, no one should care. In the same way that if you pose a 3D model that someone else made, rendered it out, and used that as reference, you don’t have to mention it.

Lethal Company is pretty similar in that you can monitor teammate activities from the relative safety of the ship and warn them of any incoming dangers, and even teleport them out if needed.

If you like museums, get the Museum Pass, which grants you access to 30 museums over the course of 3 days. Just a heads up that some of the museums (especially the ones on Museum Island) are so popular you have to book a reservation the day before. Only 2-4 hours of free time per day is quite limiting, though.

Pergamonmuseum is the most popular museum in Berlin, but I believe it’s under renovation work right now (which sucks; it has the best collection of hot naked muscular statues and reliefs). My personal recommendations are Altes Museum, Bode-Museum, the Gemäldegalerie, and the German Spy Museum.

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab makes my favourite döner kebabs. I got addicted to the one on Hauptstraße back when I was there. Other people have different favourite döner stores, so try them all out while you can!

because we sleep at night and are active during the day, and so we need to track that in a way that is universal. if i mention 12:00, people understand that it is noon where i am, and if i mention 22:00, they know it’s bedtime.

the whole point of time zones is to have time cohesion in a wider region within margin of error of solar noon, so people on the far east and far west of a time zone are close enough to solar noon at 12:00. you can take a train to a neighbouring city without having to worry about needing to adjust your timekeeping devices by a few minutes.

to put your scenario into perspective, china has already done what you suggested on a smaller scale: the entire country is on UTC+8 for the sake of “unity” and “national cohesion”. beijing loves it; 12:00 is still noon there! except it ain’t in xinjiang and tibet. xinjiang has its own unofficial xinjiang time zone of UTC+6, and so people have to specify which time zone they’re talking about and convert times between the two time zones in conversation because the uyghers use xinjiang time and the han chinese use beijing time, and you can imagine the confusion and also technical issues that has arisen from that.

imagine that, but 12 times worse. no thanks, i’ll do the simple math of converting time zones if i ever need to communicate internationally.

fuck daylight savings. take that shit out back.

i don’t drive, but reverse parking is the norm here in hk.

I’ve had a cube for quite a few years now for casual fidgeting. My current best time is just under 50s using this official Rubik’s Cube guide (plus a few personal optimizations).

I’ve tried my hand at proper speedcubing algorithms, but they’re just a bit too complex for me to handle, and I’m perfectly happy where I am at with my cube.

Anyways, be proud of your son, and don’t kick yourself for not knowing how to solve it. At this point it’s a memorization game, and if that’s not your cup of tea, that’s fine!

I agree with you, but only if everyone is paid a living wage, aka universal basic income.

play an MMO game. plenty of ways to break into friend groups there.

just learn at your own pace and don’t burn yourself out. if you’re enjoying what you do, you’re good to go. if you have an off day where you’re just not feeling it, then take a day off from it.

any fucking thing with touchscreens or touch buttons. those stupid things barely ever work and imagine not being able to use your appliance once that shit breaks.

technical art and programming for video games

English, Cantonese, Mandarin, German, Japanese

I’m native at the first two, fluent in Mandarin, currently learning German, and Japanese I learned by watching Puyo Puyo gameplay.

Oh man, I had that phase in my teenage years where I was absolutely obsessed with all that EDM music. My tastes are more varied now but I still enjoy those absolute headbangers.

• I.Y.F.F.E - Jurassic
• Lock N Bounce - Illusions
• Rameses B - Full Force
• xKore - Full Russian
• RIOT - Overkill

Monstercat Uncaged is still a great label to search through if you want more of this high energy stuff.

i didn’t learn art from tutorials; it’s mainly some passion, some practice, and then going to art school where i learned new techniques, then stopping and finding my true passion in game programming.

anyway, a couple of tips:

• draw what you see, not what you think you see; to illustrate, take a picture, flip it upside down, and try to copy that in procreate
• pay attention to negative space; that’s the space between objects. if you’re drawing a still life of a fruit bowl, focus on area around the fruit bowl.

i mean, if you say so.

blueprint work in unreal engine.

i simultaneously love making a big fuckin mess of the nodes like it’s a wall of modular synths and cleaning it up into neat blocks.

bro that is manly as fuck. keep doing you because it’s hella manly to be gentle and caring and nurturing.

you need to stop worrying about all that “not alpha/sigma male = not attractive” self-doubt. you also need to stop worrying about your attractiveness. you’re already attractive to some people. just find people you really enjoy hanging out with one on one, and eventually you’ll land a partner.
