Here's a screenshot of what respondents see. (Or, to be precise, this is a screenshot of the preview you can use as the organizer to make sure you understand what your respondents will get.)
Now that several friends have used it and confirmed it worked well for them, I want to talk a little bit about the group scheduling tool I made at whenwithal.com. I hope you'll try it sometime soon when you would normally use Doodle. It's much friendlier. This screenshot is 95% of the interface:
You'll see just one ad on completion and it's not even set up right now. Interface looks like this on mobile, is slightly friendlier on desktop.
Ah yes, the part of a solid B- episode where the second half of the premise is revealed and an extremely goobery costume undermines everything the episode is doing.
Going to FilmScene has caused me to feel that the vibe is immaculate whenever I hear this song
Brewing tea in a fun little stein I got at the antique store back home this weekend.
In the Trump 2 era, people have used this image over and over again to illustrate how the president and his goons thoughtlessly removing one element or another from the grand machines of government and finance will bring the whole fragile system down around our ears. Has this held up?
Failed to photograph the info card but this is another I always think of with this museum. I actually like the paintings a lot better than the sculptures, by the way. It just feels wrong to photograph them.
Visiting with one of the early examples of installation art (or whatever you would call this) from my childhood. It may not be immediately obvious that the stool has a short leg. You sit on it and can't help rocking back and forth as the bright lights shine in your face.
I don't usually draw attention to specific Goodreads reviews, partly because I love the negative ones as much as the positive ones but it would be weird to share those, but this was nice to read and very much in the intended spirit of the book.
A bit rustic? Pretty good I think. Also guess I dropped the thread halfway through. Alas. We'll serve it up with ice cream in a couple of hours.
Here it is before the oven. Neat finishes are definitely my weakness; I can't make myself care (and prefer dishes where it doesn't matter). Which is my excuse for doing kind of bad despite trying to care.
Cherries before and after cooking. I suspect maybe too much cornstarch and sugar in this phase; looks pretty jammy.
Making my first cherry pie. Here is the crust before I refrigerate it to set.
The "world" view is the least baked of the four at the moment; eventually this will let you quickly build and track your scenarios, explore the objects/characters/places you've built in the world, define how the world's simulation works, and activate things like inventory systems and simple combat.
The canvas view remembers where you were (which node, and where you were inside that node) when you were in the draft view, and the draft view knows the same about the canvas view. You can rapidly switch back and forth depending on which view of your game helps you write and plan.
