snacks thread Anonymous 04/26/25 (Sat) 15:45:22 No.151989 [Reply]

I don't know if this really can develop into a full thread, but I wanted to share the secret to great stream popcorn that I found recently and didn't really think it fit any thread. I got pure coconut oil with beta carotine and some flavacol melted and mixed into a kettle/pan and I add some popcorn kernels then heat it up. Produces a shitload of movie theater quality or better popcorn for less than it'd cost you to get a microwave pack. Absolutely love it and recommend anyone who likes popcorn try it out too.

I don't eat snacks, but my Father came down with a type of kidney disease that caused him to have to cut salt down to below recommended daily values which basically changed his eating habits. Something my mother got for him were these dried corn stuff.

They're not very exciting but the texture is nice and has good crunchyness.

I make these really yummy 'poor man's pizzas'. Get some english muffins, pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you desire. Cut muffins in half. Add sauce and cheese+toppings. Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes.

It's cheap and tastes really good. It's how I broke my habit of buying those over prices frozen french bread pizzas. In fact, making pizza at home in general is very cheap and easy. I can't believe people pay $20+ for large pizzas when they're so easy to make at home.

First time eating beef stew after it was frozen for a bit. It's, uh.. huh. It's not as flavorful, but the texture isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The main issue is the the water seemed to separate from the other ingredients in the broth so it's like stew chunks in water. Edible.
I'd do it again.

Why is it that every service experiences activity drops at night?
China, India and Indonesia are all in Asian time zones when North America and EU are mostly asleep. Yet Steam, a largely international platform experiences usercount drops when these high-population countries are awake?

OP, i think you got this entirely backwards.

You're looking at 04:00 UTC, but in china, indonesia, and india, this would be around 09:30 - 12:00 local time, a time when most of these would be at work or on other day activities.
A more correct time to look at would be when these groups are actually free and at home, I.E. in the afternoon/evening in their own timezone. And 13:00 UTC would be around 18:30 - 21:00 in their local time, a time when most of these groups have probably gotten home and able to play games.
13:00 UTC is also about 08:00 in CST, a time when most americans have just woken up for work, and 14:00 in CET, and time when europeans are still at work. Few of which that are probably playing games on steam.
Yet, guess when peak steam player count happens (in UTC)?

I've taken notice of my poor health and mental faculties and I think that my diagnosis is I need more sleep. The issue with this is that I don't know how to sleep early or long and my brain resists the urge to give up precious time to be doing other things besides lying still. How do you convince yourself to sleep?

How is your sleep hygiene?
https://www.checkli.com/checklists/guest_view/681b63c171238
My score is at 14/20.
I think I usually sleep pretty well, just at the wrong times.
What helped me most with my sleep was getting proper sun-blocking window covering. Without them, my room gets extremely bright sunlight in the early morning. It was kinda apparent when I noticed that I only ever slept really well in winter after I moved to this room. I'm still bad at going to bed early though...
I've recently started watching Call of the Night. Rather than encouraging me to sleep early, I now feel like going out at night... Still seems like a fun show though.

What >>153917 said.
Bedtime is the easiest time to get random intrusive or stressful thoughts. You're not preoccupied with anything so your mind wanders, and if you're stressed or worried you could easily start fixating on them. If the problem has ways of being solved, like a "social safety net" then you don't worry about it. It's just a peace of mind thing.

Left 4 Dead 2: Road to Gensokyo Edition Anonymous 04/30/25 (Wed) 13:02:34 No.152852 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

This Friday, May 2nd, I plan on hosting Left 4 Dead 2 for kissu, at around 7 PM EST, give or take 30 minutes. On my server there is a special plugin that lets you choose your own player model, similiar to other games such as Sven, and there are many different Touhou models to choose from. The player limit is at the maximum of 31. The server is also on an older version of L4D2, and it will be (almost) required that you use the special client that I provide (unless you absolutely know what you are doing). The client will use a revemu crack so that you don't need to own the game or have Steam or anything to play, so it is completely standalone. The links for the game download and any optional mods will be posted later as I have yet to prepare a fresh download link. I have not decided on any campaigns to do, but I may just host all the vanilla campaigns in a marathon.
This has been hosted on 4/jp/ before as well, and I may advertise it there one last time to catch any stragglers before future hosts are permanently moved.

VCR / VHS Anonymous 05/01/25 (Thu) 23:02:42 No.153055 [Reply]

I don't really know where else to post this, seeing as /maho/ seems to be more about personal computers.
Perhaps we can get a general video tape thread going, just in case there's anything you'd like to share: Tape-only anime; VHS-rips of official releases or old TV broadcasts; general tech discussion.

But the reason I'm making this thread in the first place: Would anyone here happen to be experienced with multi-standard / worldwide video VCRs that can play absolutely anything?
I got my hands on a Famicom that only features RF output and, due to brain damage, I'd prefer to use that one over an AV alternative. The problem is that I'm in a PAL region and I was told that, to make the thing work on my own TV, I would need to route it through a multi-system VCR that is able to properly convert the signal into one that my PAL TV can display correctly. This would be the perfect solution for me as I always wanted to own a multi-system anyway, but I lack the experience necessary to not accidentally shell out a lot of money for the wrong device. Apparently, not all multi-systems are "true" multi-standard / some don't actually "convert" the signal and I'm too stupid to know what to look out for in this regard. I read that you're supposed to look out for units that demand 100 - 240V AC on the back, but I'm unsure if that's the whole trick already.

Feel free to ignore the question and just post anything VHS-related.

Tracking issues?

Some of the worst memories I have of VHS is watching all of Evangelion in bootleg LP tapes. Retail tapes being already crap + quality degradation from copying + Lowering the quality to fit 6 hours in a 3 hour tape = Hell. Given how the red colour degrades with copies, the Magma Diver episode was unwatchable.

I don't have any experience with the stuff, really. I mean, I'm old enough to have recorded Pokemon and Sailor Moon on VCRs from local TV stations, but that's about how far I went into them.
I find the history behind the fansubbing community that had those big bulky machines and set up meetings and catalogs to sell them back in day very interesting. I deeply respect those nerds that laid the foundation for other people (and companies) to discover and bring more anime out West and they really deserve far more recognition than they get.

I still think it's weird that the reasons Mace gives for why Sheev needs to die are political and not how difficult it would be to contain someone who can overpower all but a small handful of people in the galaxy just by pointing at them. It's especially strange since he himself was intent on arresting him until the lightning came flying.

I guess the answer would be "when it becomes impossible to disarm them."

>but it doesn't have streaming
I always forget that Discord does video conferences and voice. Wait, now you can stream there as if it was Twitch?
I'm pretty paranoid about people ever seeing my face or hearing my voice, so I only use text and that's probably why I can't see any plus points to defend Discord

>"Also I have to make accounts for separate servers???
I have to make a new burner account every time I am forced to use a Discord server. And god. When Discord decides it does not trust you and locks your account until you give them your phone number. And lock it again if you ever remove the phone after that. No, fuck no. Fuck Discord, from here to Megaclite.

I'm so glad for having experienced internet before it was consolidated in a few giga platforms.

yes but anything can get even worse when "stockholders" get involved

the trick is to not paywall it like whatsapp in your example but cause all sorts of little annoyances for those that don't pay. because they already got the gigantic userbase the tolerance for enshitification will be extremely high and they can pull off stuff that looks absurd to the outside observer

Quite interesting considering normies love subscriptions.
On other hand online payments do suck. If you're lucky, you pay with prepaid cards like on Steam or Google Play, but otherwise you have to use your bank card or use the awful PayPal crap.

Large built-in installbase and (important) it doesn't require dev to maintain anything so there's now a hard wall between actual valuable skills and community management.
