  • Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to say that Luanti had an incredibly original thought with volumetric lighting. There's been (pre-resource-pack) volumetric lighting mods for Minecraft probably already a decade ago. I was rather just wondering, when the proof of concept has existed for a whole decade, why do they decide to include it now. It probably would have worked well even on weaker phones three years ago already...

  • Huh, half a year after Luanti introduced volumetric lighting. I find it hard to believe that Microsoft execs watch out for what Luanti does, but maybe a whole bunch of Android re-packagings of Luanti suddenly looked a whole lot better than Minecraft and that got through to those execs...? It's a bit of a strange coincidence, at least.

  • It's typically because the big social media sites will soft-censor your post, if it contains words that advertisers don't enjoy being displayed next to. Soft-censor, as in the algorithm will mysteriously not show your post to a whole lot of people. So, it's also hard to say, whether some advertising company genuinely thinks "wicked" is a double-plus ungood word, or if the social media operator blocked it out of caution, or if the person who shared this screenshot on another platform just censored it, because they couldn't be sure that it wouldn't get them soft-censored.

  • Well, vegan foods with lots of proteins include: Beans, lentils, peas, nuts, peanuts, tofu, soy.
    Personal favorites are red lentils (cook pretty quickly and don't need to be soaked before) and pre-cooked white beans (I just have a jar of those in the fridge and will scoop a spoonful into all kinds of meals).

    Proteins are cool, because they stick around in your stomach for a while, but they're bad at filling you up. For that, salads and veggies are the best. Sometimes, I'll eat an entire bowl of salad, which is not a lot of calories, but still fills me up.

    I would also recommend slowly changing your diet over. Your gut microbiota need time to adjust to a different diet. If you don't give them that time, they can kill your will pretty effectively.

  • Achso, ich rede von Canvas, also dicht gewebte Baumwolle, die früher für Segel eingesetzt wurde. Stimmt natürlich, moderne Segel sind aus irgend 'nem Kunststoff, da ist das noch weniger überraschend, dass er kein Wasser aufnimmt.

    Und das ist dann der Grund, warum ich irgendwo jetzt eine Jacke aus dem Zeug will, weil es definitiv atmungsaktiver ist als der Plastikstoff, aus dem meine aktuelle Regenjacke ist. Wahrscheinlich durchfeuchtet das Canvas dann schon irgendwann, wenn man stundenlang im Regen unterwegs ist, aber das ist ein Anwendungsfall, den ich quasi nicht habe, oder dann eben einen Schirm nehme.

  • Well, I'm still alive after they patched me back together in the hospital.

    Alright, honestly, it really wasn't too bad. I had oatmeal with dried banana slices and sunflower seeds (yes, that was all the cereal I had at home, well, except for some raisins which I didn't dare combine this way).
    The orange juice tasted more sour than I expected, which is good in my book. I had expected it to taste somewhat like cereal with water, which is vile, and it does not taste like that at all. I am now wondering, if I can make a cereal / fruit salad hybrid by throwing more fruit into there.

    On a serious note, I'm currently challenging myself to eliminate plastic from my diet and milk is one of the things that's impossible to buy without plastic over here, for whatever stupid reason. Even the most eco-branded oat milk still comes wrapped in plastic garbage.
    And yeah, given the alternatives of coconut milk (in a tin can), oat milk powder and water, orange juice is actually looking pretty damn good right now.

  • Habe ich auch nicht verstanden. Da hat man Vorschriften, was die Mindestbreite eines Gehwegs sein muss, nur um dann separat zu sagen, dass die Nutzbarkeit dieser Mindestbreite nicht gewährleistet sein muss...

  • Yeah, that post tried maybe a little too hard to portray high score games as always losing. You win, if you get a better score than before or whatever score you're happy with. Of course, this requires setting challenges for yourself on which to grow, so it could only ever have come from turbo-capitalist 'Merica ...or something.

  • Well, I was hoping my comment would be ridiculous enough to make it clear that it's in jest, but apparently not. 🫠

    I mean, I do strongly prefer a gameplay loop you can (want to) play forever over story-driven games, but I am very much aware that this is a personal preference.

  • I mean, what even is the point of winning a game? Ah yes, now I get to click through half an hour of dialogue and cutscenes, so that I can then not play the game anymore, because I've 'completed' it. Really, completing a game sounds like a scam invented by Big Game to sell more games. Like, oh yeah, we've made our game so fucking boring that players want it to be over with, so they can buy another of our boring ass games and play that to completion instead.

  • Letzte Woche im Bus war eine Frau und ca. vierjähriger Sohn mit vermutlich mittelöstlicher Abstammung. Plötzlich kam eine andere Frau und ähnlich junge Tochter dazu. Die Tochter hatte wohl Geburtstag und hat irgendein Gebäck mit denen geteilt – auf quasi perfektem Englisch, versteht sich.
    Gab noch kurz einen Austausch zu kulturellen Differenzen, also ich habe die Frage nicht verstanden, aber ich vermute, ob das ohne Gelatine ist, wegen halal. Worauf die Antwort kam, dass das quasi ohne alles ist.

    Also wirklich fantastische Geste, ich will das in keiner Weise schmälern. Aber statt dass die Kinder dann irgendwie miteinander gespielt hätten oder man sich gemeinsam an dem Viererplatz hingesessen hätte, wo sie waren (ich gehe davon aus, dass die sich aus der Kindergartengruppe kennen), ist man dann wieder auseinandergesessen und der Junge wäre fast vor Langeweile gestorben.

    Hat jetzt nichts direkt mit Rassismus zu tun, aber ja, hat mich einfach fertig gemacht, dass man so proaktiv integrieren will und trotzdem irgendwo scheitert.
