I was trying to bake some meringue and playing with aquafaba, but I tend cook chickpeas myself and store them dried otherwise. But aquafaba-based recipes usually assume you buy precooked chickpeas in a glass.

Then I found this article, which explores how to cook chickpeas so the cooking water can be used for aquafaba recipes.

Let’s talk about some UI/quality of life stuff. I was about to open issue, but since it touches a bunch of different topics, I guess a discussion is better. It’s a bunch of things that were annoying to me over the last months. It doesn’t mean that something has to change, could just be that I overlooked some features somewhere.

• Special floor explanations on mobile
  • The desktop version of ShPD allows to hover the floor indicator, but I can’t find an equivalent for touch on mobile
• Ignore invisible mobs and allies for automatic movement
  • To some degree automatic movement reveals positions of mobs
  • If you have 10 wraiths active on the floor or something like that, the character runs aimlessly back and forth without even reaching his destination
  • It’s better to get stuck than wasting satiation
• Optional auto aiming button for touch input that works like tab with keyboard input

Fat finger syndrome stuff:

• Targeting yourself by clicking on your portrait or hitting the shortcut for hero info
  • I had it happen a bunch of times that I accidentally shot my wand in some direction instead of shielding myself, which can be a serious problem with wand of blast/fire/disintegration
  • Also relevant for ghost guiding
• Optional "Are you sure?" popups for automatic movement
  • It happens that you accidentally run somewhere when input for zooming/panning failed
• Optional visual aid for aiming and maybe optional confirmation if you really wanna shoot/throw to tile without mob
  • Did I touch the right tile and not a neighboring one?
    • A classic is to shoot a tile adjacent to a mob
  • Can I even hit that mob/trap?
  • Would I hit my allies?
  • It’s sometimes hard to tell if it would hit a wall edge or not
  • It should only respect revealed stationary environments and visible mobs, but not 100% show where it actually hits since that would reveal invisible entities

Those are especially related to taking a longer break and picking up a save game after months:

• Notes for floors
  • Did I find hidden doors on that floor with extra secrets?
  • Did I use scroll of mapping?
  • What did the quest say? Did I already finish that quest?
  • Did I use all blacksmith options already?
  • Did I solve all puzzles or were some potions missing for them?
  • Such notes should probably be accessible via “Landmarks” interface
  • Currently I use Steam overlay notes for that, but that’s a dissatisfying solution since it’s completely closed source
• Notes for unidentified potions/scrolls/items (extends the previous point)
  • On what floor did I find this potion/scroll?
  • Who dropped it?
  • Was it in a chest/grave?
  • Maybe should be automatically deleted when identified
• Ability to ⭐ items
  • If I remember correctly, Borderlands 2 and Victor Vran allowed to mark items that you wanna continue to use to simplify selling not needed stuff
  • It’s hard to remember your setup if you didn’t play for some time
• More save game infos like "last played at XXX" and "save game of game version XXX"
  • Though savegame should probably not be overwritten if you didn’t do any significant actions since opening the save game, dunno how that’s currently handled

If the curse triggers inside the shop, the shopkeeper will disappear. I’m glad I had time to equip the hourglass

Are there some know issues with Tokodon and NeoChan on Android?

When I open them on Lineage 20 they just immediately close. They don’t trow any errors and don’t really know how to debug them.

I'm always glad when I find the rose early on. Switching places with it is a lot more useful theb wraiths

Neat reimplementation of WarCraft III tower defense map YouTD. Engine is Godot 4. Though most graphics are AI generated.

I just ran into a succubus and an evil eye. The succubus became a wraith when I killed it. The evil eye then fought against the wraith and shot at it, but they often just evade it and don’t take any damage. Then I killed it with my corrupting glaive.

My setup is neat for these floors. Wand of Prismatic Lightning gives me sight in the dark dungeons and renders evil eyes and scorpions basically harmless when it blinds them. That wand is only +1, but my Staff of Magic Missile +15 can give it quite some punch. For scorpion that means I have to tank one projectile, but evil eye charges slower. Though that wand is directly followed by Wand of Frost in effectiveness, which makes it for scorpions impossible to escape melee and evil eyes charge long enough to hit them twice and run away.

Apparently it isn’t that hard to survive the 248 damage from upgrading it. 155hp, 92 shielding from self-targeting with wand and Scroll of Challenge halving the damage. (ShPD 2.2.1)

Didn’t it trigger Inscribed Power in the past? Without that this skill becomes somewhat useless.

My first ascension after years of playing this, so far I only managed to beat Yog-Dzewa. I played the Steam version. A good reason to play around with Lemmy's formatting.

Despite running into a bad combination of traps.

!A screenshot showing the hero being surrounded by two evil eyes, a mimic chest, a succubus, a normal scorpion and an acid scorpion. More details at the link above.

Especially evil eyes and flies who can trigger traps with their drops 🥲

Also TIL: Ring of elements +3 apparently saved my ass when the grim trap hit me.

Is there anything you can do with spare Potions of Experience, that I’ve overlooked so far? I maxed out my level with starfruits and my talent points with Potions of Divine Inspiration. I still have two Potions of Experience, a blandfruit and a starseed left.

Also do I understand it correctly that I’ll get a permanent health boost if I take Elixir of Might at level 30?

I was wondering what lore universes exist where stories and games could take place in.

First ones that came to mind are The Battle of Wesnoth and Pepper & Carrot.

Though can anybody think of any further?

Public domain is also valid, but it has to pd world wide and I’m not sure what that would mean. Authors definitely need to at least dead since 1943, but I don’t know if there were any countries that had more than death+80 (Spain, Colombia and Equatorial Guinea).

Quite playable with a Fire TV stick and a bluetooth gamepad. All thanks to the gamepad support that came with the steam release.

It looks nice to see minecraft biomes with different map generators, but a lot of stuff is sadly missing still.

A huge generated multi-level dungeon in MineClone2 with a huge cave cutting through it. An amethystgeode was generated right next to it with two spawner rooms. The amethystgeode is cut open by the cave. One overlaps with the amethystgeode itself, which means they both cut through each other. The other one is directly below them. There is another big dungeon visible in the radar map not far from the current one.

This links to a pixelfed gallery with 9 screenshots. So it’s also a bit a test how good lemmy and pixelfed work together.

Village on a cliff with overhang. Massive pillars generated below the houses.

I wonder why I haven’t seen any communities so far that link to related communities in the sidebar.

That was common in some subreddits, but it would be much more crucial for lemmy/kbin because of how bad communities can propagate sometimes.

Probably going back to customs of websites 20 years ago, who linked to each other to increase their visibility and ranking. I’ve also seen that on zeronet, where they included banners of other sites to increase their spread in the network.

Did somebody get Everness working with MineClone2?

I only get ModError: Failed to load and run script from ~/.minetest/mods/everness/init.lua: ...test/games/mineclone2/mods/ITEMS/mcl_doors/api_doors.lua:197: attempt to call method 'match' (a nil value)

Did it break with 0.83.1 or 0.84?
