Is love really that necessary in witchcraft? I've seen it mentioned in a few books, blogs, posts etc. Things like "Love is essential and it makes your spells stronger!" and such.

Is it really so imperative? I'm asking as someone who is aromantic. And I know that there are different types of love but still.

zephyr-west

I'm also aromantic and no it isn't. What they mean when they say "love" is emotion or "heart" . It also gets called intent quite a lot. I think it's more about your own power which can't be simply put into words.

Don’t use a gas oven to heat your home or run your car in the garage

Carbon monoxide kills you so quick. Please all do not do this.

Drip both hot and cold on all faucets + open the cupboards that house the pipes because if you don’t your pipes will burst and you’ll have massive flooding.

I’m bringing this around again because it’s getting cold in some places and I’ve been getting things to prepare for if we get another freeze in a few months. Since then, the official death toll of the freeze sits at 210, while Buzzfeed reported in May that the true count is likely much higher— around 700. It also caused one of the worst mass carbon monoxide poisonings in recent US history.

I have very little faith that Governor Abbott has done “all that needs to be done” to protect the grid and it’s weighing on me as we get closer to winter.

Spatial Attacks: Part 2

(Seizure warning)

And here we have the rest of the Spatial attacks! Let’s go!

Non-Linear Transform - A self-heal that will randomly choose between the Kinetic, Spatial, and Temporal elements (which is why I went with squares, grids, and circles). Hope the unit doesn’t resist any of them!

Perfect Spin - A self-targeting buff that also affects the two adjacent units. OMG it spins!

Restabilise - Get those wiggly grids out of here!

Safe Passage - A slight retool of my warp animation, this attack will relocate a unit randomly on the field, and has a small chance to increase or decrease either their hp, energy, or ammo. Because lore reasons.

Spaghettification - The very scientific name for what happens to any thing unfortunate enough to get close to a black hole. This attack only targets one cell from the first row, and then the opposite cell in the last row (e.g. A1 and E2 or A2 and E1).

Spatial Nucleation - A possible end of the universe scenario whereby our current state (potentially a false vacuum) “pops” and leaves us with a hostile true vaccum.

Supernova - The first spatial attack I animated way back in the day! It remains unchanged and as strong as ever!

Topological Defect - My friend came up with the main keyframe for this one when he was interning with me, and only now I’ve been able to animate and do it justice.

Thanks for checking the animations out! Coming up soon will be the Temporal attacks!

A PSA for anyone getting the Covid vaccine, just so you know what to expect, some people experience no side effects, but it’s also not uncommon for people to feel like they have cold/flu-like symptoms for a day or two after getting the vaccine. For most people the symptoms are slightly worse after the second shot. The hospital I work at is recommending that employees get the vaccine the day before they have a day or two off. They have provided some extra PTO days in part because of this. I took a day off after each shot and was glad I did. This should not discourage anyone from getting the vaccine, but is just information to keep in mind when scheduling you or your loved ones vaccines. I highly recommend OTC pain relievers like Tylenol, Advil, or their generics. Tylenol relieved all of my symptoms. There’s no prize for toughing it out, just take them and they will make it so much easier. For me, I got my first shot in the morning and about 14 hours later I started to feel muscle aches and pains, especially in my neck. I went to bed and then woke up feeling worse; headache, lightheadedness, a temp of 99.2 (higher than normal, but not technically a fever), and worse muscle aches and pains. I started taking Tylenol and I felt much better. The symptoms lasted for about 24 hrs. After my second shot, I felt symptoms much faster, about 6 hrs after the shot, I kept up with the Tylenol a little more aggressively this time and it kept the symptoms at bay, still wouldn’t have wanted to run a 5k or give a big work presentation or anything. Over all I would say the symptoms last about 36 hrs. And I feel like I have to put this in here, just in case it crosses people’s minds, “What’s the point of getting the vaccine if it’s just going to make you sick?” You may feel sick, but you are not infected. You feel sick because the vaccine has “tricked” your immune system into thinking you are infected so that it starts to produce antibodies, but you are not actually infected. The symptoms from the vaccine last a day or two. In contrast Covid can last for weeks or months. The symptoms from the vaccine will not land you in the hospital or, more importantly, the morgue like Covid can. Also, you won’t be able to transmit the virus or the symptoms to anyone around you. Hopefully being informed can lead to us all making smart choices that help us get out of this pandemic as soon as possible.

I think we all know at least a few people who need to hear this perspective

nerdy-south

This is basically exactly what happened to my wife after her second shot. It’s normal, it’s fine, get your shots anyway!

FYI it is literally impossible for the vaccines to infect you with covid. The vaccine has no viral particles in it, only mRNA. The types of vaccines that have a risk (usually negligibly small risk for the ones that make it to market) are made of viral particles that have been rendered harmless. This vaccine is not one of those vaccines. There is no covid virus, dead or otherwise, in the vaccine. The reactions described above are just your immune system figuring out how to make antibodies that will kill covid.

Recoil-operated’s $12 traditional mead:

So one of the most common things I see on my Mead posts is “I’d love to do that, but I don’t have the stuff”

We’ll sit down and buckle up. Because I’m about to show you how to make a $12.56 traditional mead.

Here’s the recipe:

1 gallon Deer Park/spring water. You don’t want distilled.

3 lb or 32 fluid ounces honey.

One package of yeast.

a party balloon.

The cost total is $13.49, but you only need one pack of yeast. So -$0.90.

Let’s begin:

Everything together on a clean work surface, you will need a clean glass. And while not entirely necessary, a measuring cup will be handy.

Pour a cup of water for yourself and drink it. Hydration is important. Also this will allow you headspace.

Remove about ehhhhh, a quart or so of water to drink later.

Trust me. You’re going to want it

Wash your drinking cup and mixing about a teaspoon of honey.

recoil-operated-deactivated2021

You have two options for yeast, that bread yeast we bought, or professional brewer’s yeast.

They’re both the same price. You can get brewers yeast off of Amazon.

I already have brewer’s yeast, so I’m using brewer’s yeast

Stick that in that honey water.

Stick your honey in some hot water.

Go outside. Breath the free air. Know what it is… To truely live.

Enough of that bitch. Honey’s hot. Put it in the water.

Put the water in the honey too.

Shake the sin out of it.

Put that stuff back in the big bitch.

recoil-operated-deactivated2021

Shake the sh*t outta it.

Hydrate yourself with the water you removed earlier.

Shank a balloon with a pin.

Add your yeasty honey water.

Balloon it.

Label it.

If your trad mead says anything racist, or anything positive about Hitler. Straighten that sh*t out.

And there you go. $12 (.56) traditional mead. Stick it somewhere dark and leave it alone for a while.

Shake the hell outta it once a day for the first four days. Then let it be until it’s clear.

Update:

Boozification has begun.

yourunclejingo

Lots of spices and herbs make for nice additions as well.

Good post.

tehgore

Who the hell are you to tell your sentient trad mead what to think?

recoil-operated-deactivated2021

I’m it’s creator. I have deemed racism to be sin.

These weird arse little fuckers came to me in a weird arsedream I had the other night.

Had to jot it down before I forget

Might do something with them later

Not game but too cute not to reboot.

does anybody know any good 3D modeling software that can be used on an iPad. I want to be able to make environments so I can get a feel of what they will be like if used for a game

For anyone having trouble laying out autotiles. The first four columns are the base and the last four are layers. If you were to put fence tiles in the first four you would end up with holes in the map.
