Just here to remind everyone to report that shit as well!

I always feel guilty after reporting, because it's such a different environment, especially over here at beehaw, but I don't think there's been a single time that I wasn't positively surprised that the "housekeeping" agrees there's no place for shitty behaviour here. Always reaffirms that I definitely joined the right place.

I thought it was a very interesting idea, I love games that experiment with new things and game mechanics, but it quickly went from being a fun idea to mostly frustrating, especially since you can't change the controls. Using the mouse and stretching the other hands fingers to control arrow keys and then jump with space is not really that different from playing a piano/keyboard piece that your hands are nearly or just a little too small for. I tested this on a trackpad, but I don't see an actual mouse making that big of a difference, while the possibility to change the controls actually might make a big difference.

I mean I agree, but this is absolutely hilarious. I haven't laughed out loud in months and I just snortled the beer out from my nose. I'm dying. Send help.

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka has Oompaloompas working as slaves(?) in his factory. I constantly have the Oompaloompa song playing in my head so it's Oompaloompa with more OOMPH! Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, I am a moron and I know it would've been better as Oomphaloompa, but it's too late now. At least there's twice as much oomph now.

Ah shit it didn't even occur to me to even try wasd :D I'll give it another try now that I know. I just thought "well this seems super inconvenient"

Is red wine not generally seen as vegetarian? I know about it not being vegan, but is there something else I don't know?

I intentionally left out vegan specifically for the same reason.

I would still be interested, as a lot of foodstuffs are considered vegetarian even if some animal sourced ingredient or agent was used. I'm not a 100% vegetarian in the first place. Mostly, but not a 100%.

I mean, you see a lot of vegetarian food sites etc. still include recipes that use eggs and other ingredients that are animal based or -sourced.

edit: Wow, a surprising amount of wine is not even vegetarian and it isn't just limited to red wine. I mean as a not-100%er it's such a miniscule part of it, but damn, will keep in mind in the future. Spirits and beer it is!

edit2: Goddamnit apparently a lot of beers use the same fining agents used with wine. At least my spirits are fine for the vast majority at least.

Most of the time it's just YouTube and last.fm (I want something similar to something I like or find something new I like - I go through similar artists).

A little less, but still a significant amount - Radio Garden, I have a handful of stations favorited (Shoutout to 'Radio is a foreign country', they're on YouTube and soundcloud as well among others), but sometimes I just "roll the globe" and point and check out what they have on in like, Ghana or something.

Another internet radio thing is SomaFM, though out of their stations I tend to stay on DroneZone the most for some great ambient picks.

kids told us that it was important for Furby to...

...meditate...

Ok I'm aware that traditions are different in different parts of the world and such, but now I'm picturing that times have changed so much kids are meditating and it's an important thing to them. I mean I started kind of out of the blue as a kid without outside influence as a pasty white European dude, but I got made fun of for it when people found out.

Kind of really cool if kids are meditating these days.

Yeah the reason I joined this instance was because I thought there was supposed to be less hot air bullshit like this. I think people got this hateful take already when it was shoved down everyone's throats everywhere for a couple of years now when it's not even relevant to the discussion. That horse has been flogged all the back to Hades and back a hundred-fold already.

I thought about nutritional yeast, but didn't go with it yet, I think I'll try that, gotta try mushrooms too.

Yeah my tofu angle was more like, if anyone's managed to marinade it to taste like chicken. Love tofu though. Paneer was kind of a miss, maybe the brand wasn't great, but I'm gonna stick with tofu, paneer is a lot rarer so I can get better tofu here. We have this paneer-like cheese where I'm from, it's a little fattier maybe and it was great in curry, it just melted a little too much cause I added it too early. It became a little like mozzarella when cooked, just chewier.

I wish I could find jackfruit here without paying myself sick. Always wanted to try it. One of these days I'm gonna treat myself to some.

I'll have to look for some good vegan chicken seasoning/broth recipes. You have a favorite?

Yeah gotta agree about what's good over meat replicas. I never really got the need for meat replicas (although I do make carrot hotdogs quite a bit, they're just so easy and still fairly unprocessed, just peel, marinate and cook and it's just like a real hotdog), that's why I at least tried to specify that's not what I'm after. Love potatoes and cauliflower in curry, well pretty much in anything.

Thanks for the idli suggestion, haven't heard of that before. Love all the rest though. Have to try a baked potato curry sometime!

Ooh I totally forgot this one! Osmos is seriously an amazing game, one of my favorite games of all time.
