Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!
(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)
Share what you got!

Asking because I overheard a physical therapist say that she uses this question to see if she wants a second date with a guy, and if he says more than like 4 eggs at once it's a red flag.
#i can eat two 3-egg omelettes no problem#tea eggs also like half a dozen no worries#i have yet to find my limit on devilled eggs simply bcos other ppl eat them. i think ive had 7 or 8 at one time#i suspect i could eat more than 10#but i dont want to make any promises#sorry that phyiscal therapist hates eggs or whatever

diet culture people make me feel like i’m going crazy. you want me to take an experimental pill that destroys my appetite?? you want me to remove part of my stomach??? you want me to stop eating bread and rice, two of the staple foods most inherent to humanity????? why exactly? because my stomach is big? because you don’t like the way i look, and you think it’s reasonable to tell me to carve pieces off of myself and try random drugs and ruin my own life so i can look more visually pleasing to you? and you somehow don’t see how absurdly cruel and selfish that is to ask of somebody???? while pretending you care about their HEALTH????????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!

Free Video Editing Program List
I will share with you what I’ve found when searching. If you want to add one, feel free to do so / let me know, I will change the master post.
Note: I haven’t tried every single program/website.
1. Shotcut
The feature is pretty basic, I used it a lot.
Link: https://shotcut.org/
Requirements:
Operating system: 64-bit Windows 7 - 10, Apple macOS 10.10 - 10.15, or 64-bit Linux with at least glibc 2.27.
CPU: x86-64 Intel or AMD; at least one 2 GHz core for SD, 4 cores for HD, and 8 cores for 4K.
GPU: OpenGL 2.0 that works correctly and is compatible. On Windows, you can also use a card with good, compatible DirectX 9 or 11 drivers. We do not have a list.
RAM: At least 4 GB for SD, 8 GB for HD, and 16 GB for 4K.
NOTE: If your computer is at the lower end of CPU and RAM requirements, you should use both the Preview Scaling and Proxy features to help reduce preview lag.
Hard drive: yes, get one; the bigger, the better :-)
Network: Shotcut does NOT require access to the network to activate, check a subscription, or send usage analytics. However, some links in the Help menu do link out to this web site. If you have files on a fast (at least 1 Gb/s) network share you can access them from there through your operating system.
2. Da Vinci Resolve
This was recommended a lot by comments/youtuber, but if you have potato specs, you can't use this program.
Link: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/nz/products/davinciresolve/
Requirements: (Da Vinci Resolve 17.2)
Windows 10 Creators Update.
16 GB of system memory. ...
Blackmagic Design Desktop Video 10.4.1 or later.
Integrated GPU or discrete GPU with at least 2GB of VRAM.
GPU which supports OpenCL 1.2 or CUDA 11.
NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPU Driver version – As required by your GPU.
3. Kdenlive
Link: https://kdenlive.org/en/
Requirements:
The developers recommend 32-bit or 64-bit computers with a modern processor such as AMD 64 or Intel mono/dual core systems. Also essential is a fast hard disk with more than 20 GB of free space and at least 1 GB of RAM.
#davinci resolve does require rly good specs#this is bcos it is competitive with adobe premiere pro. like for real just as good.#it was v frustrating when i started bcos i trained on premiere and couldn't find all the things i wanted to do#but i found them EVENTUALLY so anyway. just as good. and free!#but yeah just like premiere u need massive computer specs. it is for rly professional shit u see#I should look into shotcut for more basic things maybe. can't be opening resolve for every little thing.

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.
#currently rewatching nbc powerless so that one#actually the perfect superhero tv show. workplace comedy abt the little guys my beloved.#yeah they're all messy and weird and embarrassing but it's so good that they are. u see.#mcu wishes they could make a superhero tv show like this

fuck it, i'm curious. reblog and tag with the first fictional death to ever rewrite your brain chemistry and/or make you cry like a baby. mine was ares from the underland chronicles (who, for context, was a giant bat.) to this day i will weep if i think too hard about it. okay, go.
#bridge to terabithia#like.... told me at age like 7 or 8 or whatever that a normal kid like me could just die#that someone could die accidentally in a random and unremarkable way#and leave a terrible emptiness behind#like legit before that all fictional death I'd encountered was Big Fantasy Drama and didn't feel as real or close#and then suddenly it felt VERY real and close

so about a year and a half ago i moved, got rid of my horrible old bed and mattress (that came free when i moved in bcos it was abandoned by a previous roommate), and switched to a loft bed for my new place (due to my room being so so so small and i needed the space)
and for reasons of not-falling-off-the-bed and also being-cheap, i got a 4-inch thick mattress from ikea (ppl are often sad abt this for me but actually it's very comfortable and firm and good for my back)
ANYWAY the point is that at this point i discovered that the bane of my existence, fitted sheets, which were always a goddamn hassle to put on and would always slip free in the middle of the night, resulting in me sleeping half on a bare mattress and having to painstakingly yank the sheet back into (approximate) place every two to three days
simply stopped being an issue
like i'd have to turn the sheet maybe a couple of times to find the right side, but once i had the right side it went on no problem, and fucking stayed on until i decided to change it. maybe it was a little loose-ish on top, developed some small wrinkles or folds, but it didn't slip off and i dont need a perfectly smooth bedsheet all the time.
and the REASON this happened, i discovered, was that i was not buying sheets with pockets intended for a 4-inch mattress, due to cheapo discount stores where i shop dont fuckin sell those and i wasn't ordering sheets special, what am i, made of money? i was buying sheets for my mattress size (full) but with 6- or 8-inch pockets, and figuring that'd be fine. and it sure fuckin was.
bcos i could tuck the fitted sheet fully underneath the sides of the mattress and then some. and maybe it'd slide around a bit or look a bit bulky underneath, but it'd stay on, and whomst is looking at it but me rly? and when i washed my sheets and they maybe shrunk a bit? no problem! what's half an inch of shrinkage when u have 4 extra inches allowance all around?
anyway all this to say, if you are a Fitted Sheet Struggler, consider just getting sheets with deeper pockets than you're 'supposed' to have. the sheet industry is lying to u. it doesn't have to be like this.
#apropos of nothing. well apropos of i saw a joke post abt fitted sheet struggles#and remembered that i am here atop my throne (loft bed) looking down upon those who struggle as i used to#legit i changed my sheets recently and it was painless#hardest part was taking my laptop and various cords off the bed#bcos due to loft bed i have run a bunch of cables up here. gotta computer in bed u see.

tbh when im writing a game one of the most important things i can remind myself is basically: it's a metaphor, charlie brown.
like no, this item system is not realistic and sensible. that's ok! i dont want players to be tracking weight and load in this particular game (i love it in other games tho it's fun); in this game the idea of an item and what it means to the players is what matters, so i must make them track Important (and sometimes symbolic) Item Traits. etc.
