My niche hobbies are largely not tech related at all, so a lot of the participants have no knowledge or interest in learning about lemmy or learning about why leaving reddit would be a good thing in the long run. Even some of the subreddits rely on a really dedicated group of regulars to keep them alive, since for especially one of them, facebook is where the online community lives and thrives. And I'm also unfortunately not much of a content creator...

I recently learned "Arschgeige" in German, which according to the reactions of people I asked, is a pretty mean thing to say. I can't get over the fact it literally means butt violin though.

Environments you can't interact with. There's shit lying around and I'm rolling my way through here. I would really like there to be physics so that the world around me is affected by what I'm doing.

Too many invisible walls. Is it really necessary to stop me from jumping around the courtyard gardens (ff16)? Let me get all up close and personal with the environment. Let me yeet myself off a random cliff.

Related: buildings that you can't go into. Yes the outside world might be cool and interesting but it's so much more immersive and realistic if buildings have interiors that you can go into. Half the fun I have in the older Pokémon games is exploring and just checking out the unique towns, listening to the town music etc, but the newest Pokémon games... If it's a building you can interact with at all, it's just a menu screen?? No visiting random apartment blocks and department stores?

And then lastly, have few to no NPCs, and if the ones that are there just stand still and don't do anything. It really annoyed me about so many of the kingdom hearts games, that you have these cool worlds that you've seen in movies and are explorable, but in all the spin off titles, there isn't a single NPC to be found in any of the worlds. It's so big and empty and boring. Let me allow myself to believe we're visiting these video game worlds and viewing a snapshot of what fantasy life is like in this video game.

My silly boy cat likes to announce everything he's about to do. Jump up on something? Go use the kitty litter? Karate kick the door open because he wants food right now (he just did that while I was typing this, it is the only way he knows how to open doors) it's all just little baby innocent sounding meows.

Then when he gets the zoomies, he enjoys a good yodel at the top of his lungs.

Then my sweet little girl cat just enjoys chattering away at me. She also has little high pitched baby meows and sometimes does a call and response with me when I say her name. She's honestly such a sweetheart. I get the impression that when she chatters at me, she's telling me how excited and happy she is.

Definitely 2023 years worth of experience. I taught Jesus himself JS. Which, fun fact, doesn't stand for JavaScript, but stands for JesusScript. I would never lie on the internet.

(4ish years lmao)

Considering someone arrogant is an opinion. And nuance is hard to convey over text. Maybe you should reflect on why you find a particular person arrogant and what it is about their arrogance that bothers you. Take it as a chance for introspection instead.

Ok, admittedly I was using typescript but honestly, I really enjoyed using JavaScript. I kinda feel like people who shit on it have never used it much, or aren't very experienced, or it just wasn't to their taste and they're jumping on the hate train that the others like to conduct.

(I also understand this is a joke dw)

The usual acne related ones, like washing my face more or using tooth paste on my spots. Turns out clearasil won't fix your hormones.

Use olive oil instead of sun screen because it works better than SPF and isn't full of chemicals.

When taking a taxi on a short stop over in Dubai, the taxi driver told me not to have blue hair (which I had) or no man will ever want me, while my then boyfriend was also sitting in the taxi, masquerading as my husband (we were wearing rings and just letting people assume we were married, which everyone did. Including the taxi driver!)

Work related: don't make my code too "complicated" or my one coworker can't understand it (read: my coworker doesn't know what async means, and instead of him learning, I'm just not ever meant to do anything async... When processing huge amounts of data... Also, error handling is too hard, don't do that either) yes, I will forever be salty about this. He deleted weeks worth of work while I had covid because he didn't even try to understand it - his reasoning being "it doesn't work anyway, so there's no point in understanding or learning what I'm doing"

Yeah, using too much is going to make your food taste gross, just like adding too much salt would too. I also think it might not be suitable for every dish, so I think there's some experimentation required. For me, I like to add it to things that have a lot of tomato in them (like a sauce) or when I feel like there's something "missing". I find it rounds out the taste.

Maybe while you're cooking, taste your food before and then immediately after adding some msg, taste it again. It won't be like a huge, in your face difference - it's pretty subtle imo. Then again everyone's tastes and taste buds are different and it might just actually not be for you!

God, on one hand, catching a draft makes you die and then on the other STOSSLÜFTEN!!

I bought a big pack of msg from the Asian supermarket and use it instead of normal salt for many things. My partner and I call it wonder salt.

(Of course, msg like normal salt or anything should be used in moderation lol)

I always wanted a cat, but my parents never let me. Now I have two, and getting a third.

Also, I always wanted to wear colourful, pastel jfashion or edgy goth clothes, but I had neither the money or the style and now I wear both daily (sometimes at the same time, I guess)

Also dessert as dinner, video games whenever and playing Simba with the cats.
