I need to get this straight because there are some idiots who unironically believe this shit:
The science-fiction genre was not created by Marxists or socialists. Sure, communists infiltrated sci-fi publishers back in the 1930s and rejected anything that went against their views, but this was to get fans to think that a communist or socialist revolution was the only way to get the sci-fi future they wanted. However, the genre dates back to the 1600s (nearly 200 years before Karl Marx was even born) with stories like The Other World, New Atlantis, and The Blazing World. Even after the commie infiltration of sci-fi publishing houses, science fiction stories that were clearly not Marxist or socialist were still written and published such as Atlas Shrugged.
I only bring this up because I see some idiot RWers who judge the whole genre based on the themes of Star Trek and think that sci-fi is nothing more than promoting Fully Automated Gay Space Communism when that was never the intended purpose.
@Pawlicker Blender's built-in video editor seems like the go to choice for video editing on Linux right now. My brother uses it for video editing and he's a Windows user.
@beardalaxy@inTrax >i've heard people suggest that physical versions can go back to including cool stuff with them again and it could justify a bit of a higher price.
I think indies already do that, but the average indie game is like $10 and a lot of them don't care if you pirate anyway. Honestly, it sounds like a good incentive to get people to actually buy your game without using DRM or even enforcing your copyright because you can't pirate something physical (unless you try to replicate it with a 3D printer).
@Victor_Emmanuel@BowsacNoodle@Frondeur Both relativity and time dilation are bullshit. Some Asian guy was able to debunk both of them using middle school logic.
@coolboymew I'm actually surprised to hear that most people played RollerCoaster Tycoon through these promotions. My older brother got the actual boxed version of the game, years ago, however.
@coolboymew I remember getting Operation through a General Mills cereal. Post did one for a Major League Baseball game demo (it was just a homerun contest). The only other cereal box game I remember was probably some Jumpstart game about a circus, but I think only my sister played that one and very briefly.
@beardalaxy@icedquinn When I saw it cooking in the oven, it was looking like Sbarro's and I was expected to get sick from it, but it turned out fine.
What I really would like to do is to make a pizza that only uses organic ingredients while still tasting like something you get from a restaurant. That would be great because I'm trying to eat more organic lately, but I can never give up pizza no matter what.
@beardalaxy I agree that #5 is the best, but there are a few drawbacks I can think of:
* They are still echo-chambers, but for hobbies/ideologies/lifestyles that are considered niche, which isn't a bad thing, but if you disagree with them, even on one thing, you may be labeled as a "normie" and be told that you belong on Reddit/Facebook/Twitter. * Despite our presence on here, these places *MIGHT* not be the best places to build a brand (e.g. indie games, webcomics, etc) unless those brands in question cater to that type of culture (i.e loli/hentai games). I think it's generally fine to be on here, but you need to be careful. Don't sign up on some instance or host your code on some repository with the word "cum" or anything like that in the name because some people will take that as an excuse to cancel you. * These types of places attract three-letter agencies. Once these people get involved, expect fedposts and CP spam everywhere (we are nowhere near that level yet, but there are signs of it growing everyday).
It didn't turn out the way I expected, but it was much better than most homemade pizzas I've tried. The dough was just like ordinary, homemade pizza dough however because a family member insisted that they made the dough (they probably took pride in their own pizza and hated that I was trying to make something more "professional"). The dough I used didn't have high-gluten bread flour and instead used regular flour only. I also underestimated how much the dough was going to rise.
I think what truly changed the game was the cheese. Everyone assumes that since pizza is Italian, you are supposed to use Italian cheese, but it's actually a mix between Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano that you should use. You should also sprinkle a little bit of oregano on it. I think I overdid the oregano.
Best pizza I could compare it to is Sbarro's pizza because they also overuse oregano (at least from my experience). Sauce and cheese were fine, but the dough still gave it the "homemade" vibe. I expected the stone to make it crispy, but I guess it really needed that bread flour.
Maybe I should try a New Jersey-style bar pizza next time.
