Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

    Those char-dotted edges look gorgeous.

    I really wish I had an oven for this, I have one of those microwave-convection thingys, and it simply doesn’t get hot enough. It works for cast-iron pan-pizza, but not for this type of thing.

    This has me wanting to try and use my fireplace somehow…


  • Extremely basic, just peeled and cut potatoes straight into a deep fryer. No soaking or anything.

    Ten minutes at 150°C to turn em soft, then out of the oil, up the heat to 190°C, then back in until crispy. Usually barely a minute.

    This has netted me the most consistently good results without too much prepping.

    It’s a napkin from Social Burger, in, yes, Finland. They make my favorite burgers, and though mine are really close, I haven’t found a ketchup that is as good as theirs. I might have to try making some.

    I keep any that go unused when I eat their burgers, and use them later. Feels like an homage.

    They got me into making burgers, as they stopped selling their Aioli burger, my favorite, which I then had to learn to make (and have since combined with their bacon burger).

    The bun is Rosten’s burger brioche, I’ve yet to try making my own, as both these and the buns made by Fazer are really damn good. Most store-bought options were trash though, so much “brioche” with neither butter nor egg.



  • This is official art used in covers and promos for the game, produced by the Art Director of the game, Jen Zee. However, there was never a tall portrait version of it…

    I’m speculating, but looks like Igor Artyomenko expanded on the piece. So in this case, things are the other way around, this is not a crop of Igor’s art, rather Igor’s version is a derivative of Jen Zee’s.

    Edit: I might be wrong. Igor’s post is from before the game came out, and now I can’t find the piece from any supergiant source. The pieces style matches that of Jen so closely it might have gone unnoticed by most, including me, that it wasn’t an official art asset.

    Edit 2: Danbooru credits Igor as well. Good sleuthing Crul!


  • I go out of my way to credit fanart, but this is official art by the Art Director of Transistor.

    Which yes, was Jen Zee.

    Edit: I think I might’ve remembered incorrectly here, actually. While very closely matching the style of Jen, this is looking like it’s fanart by Igor, linked by the other guy.

    Edit 2: Yep, I don’t think this one is by Jen Zee. I didn’t realise either.








  • I get what you meant, which is why I replied, I’m saying that that word means the opposite of what you intended.

    To patronize someone is not a bad thing, the word means “to be someone’s customer/patron” and through doing so, supporting and helping them. That’s where patreons name comes from, for example.

    In the phrase “don’t patronize me” it’s used sarcastically to say “I know you’re trying to help, but please don’t” but the word doesn’t actually refer to someone who is going over your head to do things for you. It’s actual meaning is 100% positive, and hence confuses what you’re saying. Which is that blocking threads should be done by users because it should be their decision.

    Instead, your final sentences literal meaning, paraphrased, is “a server-wide block would be really good and helpful for all my users”.






  • I already have the LCD, but the OLED has me seriously considering retiring it far earlier than I usually do with my electronics.

    I’ve had a gaming laptop for years but I think I did more gaming on the deck in the first six months than I ever did on my laptop. The suspend mid-game, actually using it away from a power plug…

    The Deck announcement made me try linux on my desktop again, too, just to see if Valve’s claims about proton could be true… And I have yet to boot back into windows.


  • For activity to be as direct as you say, you’d have to break authentication.

    All activity goes through the instance your account is on, because that’s where your account is. That instance then syncs your activity to other relevant instances, which in turn syncs it to yet more instances, if your activity was in a community on that instance and not your own.

    Your suggestion is completely incompatible with the inbox/outbox model of the ActivityPub federation protocol.

    Notifications and mentions would break. How is a reply supposed to get to you if posted in a thread outside your instance, except via your instance?

    The only way things could work the way you suggest, is if every client application was also its own lemmy server, which would be a stupid amount of load to put on phone or any other potential client device.
