Yeah, I’m messing with the balance each time now to try and reduce bitterness without losing the flavor. The next time I tried with about 3/4th the amount of leaves. Doing 180F at 20 seconds to start with a gradual increase each steep seems like the right area so far!
I bought a PS2 about 6 months ago from a coworker and finally got around to getting it working at a good enough resolution on my monitor. I currently have:...
I don’t see it here so I’ll mention Ty the Tasmanian Tiger! Really fun collectathon platformer. Played through the more recent remaster on PC and realized it’s very easy, but I spent a huge amount of time as a kid just running around the maps and hub area.
Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it’s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!
Also tea people should check out !tea! The only tea community I’m aware of on lemmy. Though it’s super inactive right now; I should probably contribute…
Title track and closer of one of my all-time favorite albums. The horns are just perfect and the lyrics are beautiful. Makes me think of those little moments of getting lost in something good during bad times, a short escape you know won’t last.
I really want to like Mirage more, but I just don’t like her 3…or 4…or 2.
I know her 2 has some meme-y fun potential so I may have to give it another try. Her 3 and 4 are ruined by the light dependency for me though. If she could control the light level around her somehow, or toggle between the two buffs of her 3, she’d be in a way better place for me. Right now if I go back to her it would be after subsuming over her 3 most likely.
It’s too bad because I really love her deluxe skin.
I don’t know if you were around for the launch, but it was a pretty infamously bad because practically none of the promised features were present. Landing on asteroids, fighting space stations, significant factions, big space battles, sand/water planets, complex crafting, creatures affecting the environment, etc.
I think Hello Games has done a great job turning things around, and shown that they do respect their players, but the launch was definitely a disaster.
Ohhh it’s connect four without gravity! I thought it was baduk and was wondering why they’d be mad when they’re going to win, but then I remembered you don’t place the stones in the squares.
Pan’s Labyrinth
The way it’s telling this dark fairy tale with the backdrop of fascism in Francoist Spain, combining real world and fantasy, is just so incredibly well done. It also has one of the most memorably evil antagonists of any media I’ve experienced, and some very creepy and beautiful creature designs done with practical effects. Everything just comes together perfectly in this movie.
Warframe. Always coming back to Warframe. It’s just too fun making my murdermachines look pretty, and there’s always something new to work toward. The game also runs incredibly well for how good it looks and how much is going on at once, I should NOT be able to run it at max settings 4k at 60fps with a mid-range gaming PC.
Plus it’s really fun getting those big red damage numbers on enemies with the right builds, and I still haven’t played another game with a movement system as fun as this one.
I’ve also been having fun with Armored Core VI, minus the out of place bosses. They definitely just put them in to be like “Look! We have the FromSoft™ bosses!” I ended up making a cheese build to effectively skip them. The actual mech combat parts are really fun though, and I love trying all the different kinds of loadouts! Runs well on a Steam Deck too which is always good.
I love Pinc Louds and try to share them with my friends as much as I can, they’re so unique and energetic! “Watching Snow” is my favorite song of theirs, but this one has a fun music video to introduce people with so I went with it. They really are a special group and I hope this reaches some new fans!
I’ve really been enjoying Adventure Time lately, so I’m glad to hear this! I don’t know why I didn’t watch it when it originally aired but I’ve been missing out; I’ll be checking this show out once I finish up for sure.

Awesome! The AI summarizer is very useful, and it gives quality search results from my experience with the free trial. $10 a month still seems a little high for a search engine, though I’m definitely eyeing it more now…
Hopefully we see more competition in the future with paid search engines, this seems to be new territory where everyone is still pretty unsure of the right pricing. I think $5 a month is going to be the sweet spot for me.

Are you enjoying Palworld?
Sorry if this is redundant, I didn’t see another thread focused on reactions to the game itself (just the Pokemon-ripoff news cycle)....
What is, in your opinion, the perfect song or track?
One where absolutely everything is perfect - the beat, the melody, the arrangement, the structure, the lyrics, the subject, etc.?

A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.
