On first look, can you tell if the diced bits are real chicken or not?

A bowl with a red rim and square and dragon markings filled with noodles, mushrooms, spinach, and a cubed “chicken” and all these items are garnished with seasame seeds. A fork is sticking out of the bowl, and it appears the bowl is on a granite countertop.

My video I made with tourney highlights had 40k+ views and dozens of comments saying “omg there are grassroots tournaments for this game???” As a scene that has been alive and kicking for 10 years, it’s honestly impressive that there isn’t MORE of an audience. Like this image is DAMNING.

A Google form question titled: “If you are interested in watching tournaments, do you know where to find the broadcasts? If so, where?”

Primaries are important. They’re the first step in driving the Overton Window back to the point where fascism is extremist, not business as usual. Take an hour and find some articles to read up on candidates (especially from local indie outlets). Anyone leftist leaning needs to kick out centrists.

Lmao wait why was this some actual future sight It’s depressing that more orgs didn’t invest in this idea, honestly. All of the work has already been done to lay things out, they just need to execute. Yet SAC is still limping along, and dapple’s tourneys aren’t bringing in competitors.

Magic8Ball #FreePalestine @frozenm... • 7mo
Imagine proving grounds could run in a night, you don't get immediately sent home, and every 4 months they do a Championship with decent prizepot, edited trailers for hype, player bios that flash up on the screen during down time and for match previews, and all matches get streamed. Would be DOPE.

Magic8Ball #FreePalestine @frozenm... • 7mo It would be the life the scene desperately needs, just enough of a spiceup to give players something to play for.
I genuinely believe that the TOs right now have the tools, people, and infrastructure to accomplish this and set it in motion in the next six months. Improvement is more than feasible.

Just another cod-- I mean... #indiedev #devlog ! There is now a charged up Beam action, and with the hitbox component structure I set up, the state machine, and the controller interface, this was also a quick addition. I also didn't lock the camera pan, would be too much work rn for a VERY small +

There is not NEARLY enough people tuned into twitch.tv/splatoontourney If you have a pc with an extra monitor, just throw that up for me. I have a lot more to say about this, but with the quality of the commentary, organizing, and production, these people should be getting PAID.

Most people have become so lost in bothsidesism, numbed by the blitzkrieg, and cynical of our government that they feel hopeless to position as anything but bystanders, insignificant background characters. I want to start screaming in the street but no one has shown that they’ll support me if I do.

A picture from the Apple Message app. The top has a grey circle with a D inside, below it the word “Dad”. The first message is a screenshot of a Bluesky post, slightly cut off, starting with “…bombing humanitarian aid in Gaza, Ben-Gir has said - effectively admitting that he is getting express support from top U.S. leaders to commit war crimes and genocidal acts.”
There’s then a headline:
Israeli Minister Says GOP Leaders Agree That Gaza "Aid Depots Should Be Bombed"
The tagline:

There is a green bubble of a text message saying “This is our nation's lawmakers and party leaders wholesale encouraging crimes under the Geneva convention”

There is then a black bubble response. “Sad”

That's right is #indiedev #devlog time! Didn't have a ton of time this week so I focused on adding the camera to track the player. Tonight, worked on adding a pan to the camera when charging up a magic ability. Feels really smooth right now, as it makes the stop during the throw anim less clunky.

Hey Indivisible leadership! I’ve never heard of this before and maybe y’all haven’t either: recall petitions are available in 19 states for state officials. Perhaps the best leverage we have for pushing the democrats into further action is to pursue these. With the reach you all have, it could work.

Magic8Ball #FreePalestine @splatbooks.ink · 07/02/2025

Another one! #indiedev #devlog #godoot The units now approach, put out hitboxes, take damage, and retreat when they're low health to go back to their base. Tomorrow I just need to figure out the best way to heal them while they sit at base, then move on to figuring out the UI.

Another #devlog #indiedev on this Trans Joy Jam project: We are officially in the business of punching fascists! That's an automated object with a state machine, two things I hadn't tackled in full before this project, and I see why it's so important now, adding that attack was pretty easy LOL

This site is alright sometimes, actually. Call a senator today, if you can!

A Bluesky feed with two long posts. One is just the card of an article reading “what are democrats supposed to do?” As the headline. The next has the text “Hey democrats, are you going to do literally anything besides post while fascists run the government through the shredder? (Taps earpiece.) We’re hearing the answer is no.” Then the article with a card titled “do something for fuck’s sake”

I did get this figured out, thanks to the cool peeps who replied! But I may as well get in the habit of posting a #devlog #indiedev The state machine IS operating, after probably way too long struggling to get this guy to move. Should be smooth sailing, and it is for a jam so gotta speed up.

Figured it out: In the state class, the function "ProcessInput" needed to be marked "virtual", so that in IdleState I could mark it as "override", and that is finally hitting the right endpoints I need.

I threw the onions and mushrooms into a medium-high heat pan sprayed some lime juice and seasoned with cumin and turmeric, added the tomatoes a bit later. The just egg I did on medium low heat, seasoned with (lots of) cayenne and chili powder, then scraped the bottom for a long time LMAO.

A stovetop next to a countertop. On the stovetop are a pan and a skillet, both filled with yellow substances (a vegetable mix in the pan and Just Egg being scrambled in the skillet). On the countertop are 4 spice containers, a bottle of barbecue sauce (on its head resting against the subway tile backsplash), a bowl filled with black beans, and an empty black container.

I wrap that bitch like it’s Chipotle. Y’all thought I was done with the vegan food? Double posting tonight cuz this was HEAVENLY, Southwest style burrito that’s completely vegan and absolutely stuffed (recipe below). Took about 45 minutes to chop up and put together.

Vegan fajita burrito! This is a specialty spice combo I do: chopped onion with turmeric, cumin, and lime juice slow simmered, then tossing the peppers, mushrooms, and beyond steak tips in and reapplying the combo — then sauté. I put vegan Mayo on the tortillas for some saltiness - perfection!

A pan on a black stovetop with a spatula leaning on its edge. Inside the pan is chopped onions, green peppers, small mushrooms, and fake steak bits. On the countertop next to it is a plate and a black plastic takeout container, with tortillas on / in them, with a white vegan mayo spread on them.

The contents of the pan have now been placed into the tortillas! This is a close up shot of the filled in burrito on the plate

Protein Packed Pasta Shells: Pour a smidge of veggie oil in a pan to roast some chopped garlic in, then slap the tomato sauce in, season with paprika, onion powder, oregano, and some salt, then add fun diced veggies and a plant-based ground beef to the sauce. Boil some chickpea noodles and voila!

A stovetop with 2 things cooking, a black pan full of a red saucy substance, and a pot with boiling water and shell shaped noodles

My signature dish at this point: Just Egg loaded omlette… turned breakfast sandwich! Olive oil to fry it, throw in the local market’s mango salsa, season with crushed red pepper flakes and basil, shred some spinach leaves, then wait for it to be ready to fold! Plate onto a bagel for ex. protein.

Easy deli sandwich that gives me dinner tonight and two lunches! Didn’t have spinach, so I sliced up some peppers and used that as a base, vegan Mayo, tomato slices, and tofurkey vegan deli slices (smoked hickory).

Threw together a rice bowl today! I put Texmati rice in the cooker, peeled and cut sweet potatoes into rounds, heated up some butter in a pan and threw those in with the portabella, then heated the Franklin farms seitan cubes as the protein, and finished with some sliced tomato and green onion.
