  • My absolute favorite thing about the morphball is that even in canon it’s a total mindfuck that makes no sense. Very light lore spoilers for Metroid Prime 1:

    spoiler

    There’s a couple of research scans that essentially describe Space Pirate reverse engineering of Samus’ morphball tech that basically say “This morphball shit is a lost cause. All our test crew have ended up as extremely dead pretzels. We should just quit while we’re behind on this one.”



  • Trivializing is taking very real and major struggles that certain humans experience to much greater degree than others and pretending it has the same gravity as minor annoyances that a wide range of people experience.

    If your comment is a joke or otherwise intended to be lighthearted, I apologize, but people saying in earnest what you said is a pretty major pet peeve of mine.

    Real “Chronic depression doesn’t exist because everyone feels sad sometimes” energy.



  • Hover zoom took me a bit to get used to, and what helped a lot was dialing in the “Trigger Delay”, and making thumbnail size as small as possible while still being the number across that I wanted (ie: in rows of 4, but on the small side) so there’s extra dead space between images for my mouse so I don’t accidentally hover zoom.

    tags in metadata would be a great feature for sure, and for downloads I’ve resigned to only limiting it to artist and character/copyright info via folders. There’s a couple other scripts floating around on the e6 forums that may or may not play well with it, so you may be able to find some kind of metadata script to use along side it.




  • No prob. Dunno what you’re looking for specifically in a desktop client, but re621 has a really incredible amount of functionality. It has basically everything I wanted that the site lacks, and has a ton of extra stuff that I didn’t even consider, but absolutely love. Couple of game changing features:

    • “subscribe” to tags/artists (receive a notification and a dropdown box of new images from tags you mark)

    • thumbnail size and quality tweaking

    • hover zoom (hover mouse over a thumbnail for a customizable time and it’ll show a large scale image) and the ability to favorite images from the thumbnail.

    Can’t recommend it enough honestly.

    Wild, I didn’t know there was a different gallon measurement (There’s a few apparently).

    mostly unrelated, but after poking around on Wikipedia, I’ve also learned that there’s two different versions of fluid ounces (Edit: that are used actively in the US, forgot to add that), and both are used on food labels simultaneously, but relating to different things.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce#Definitions_and_equivalences

    US food labeling fluid ounce

    For serving sizes on nutrition labels in the US, regulation 21 CFR §101.9(b) requires the use of “common household measures”, and 21 CFR §101.9(b)(5)(viii) defines a “common household” fluid ounce as exactly 30 milliliters. This applies to the serving size but not the package size, package sizes use the US customary fluid ounce.


  • It seems pipedlinkbot has threatened a logic loop on me.

    If I see a guilty gear reference, I post the youtube video, but it will respond with the piped link, which is itself a guilty gear reference, and therefor I must post the youtube video, and the cycle would repeat.

    Why u do dis, pipedlinkbot?
