[Solved] what is this

Yo! I from Phoenix. I lived by some mountains and we'd get baby snakes randomly for a few weeks at a time throughout the year. They look a lot like skinny worms and could range in color from pinkish to dark brown. As to what type of snakes they were, I have no idea.

Cold brew starting off with hot water

Never have, but my assumption is that the concentrated flavor from the long steep time would mask any slight change the hot water might add. However, could be fun to have a thing of extra concentrated cold brew and a separate thing of hot water prepared coffee and combine the two before drinking. Play around with the ratios a bit to find the dopest mixture 🤌

It's the opposite, you would appear frozen at the event horizon to any observer and if you were lucky enough to be facing away from the event horizon as you fell in you would see everything else speed up. And according to Crash Course you'd see ALL OF TIME pass. So that's cool.

Really? I don't think it's reinforcing the patriarchy. I think it's pretty funny, a satirical commentary on the unfortunate truth that most people don't feel safe around males. Like, bruh, I'm a dude, but I'd rather see a bear than another man if I was on a solo backpacking trip.

Games you didn't like but suddenly clicked

The first Dark Souls. At the time I had played Demon's Souls, but didn't really play games for the challenge so I was very much not used to those types of games. Was also a diehard FPS player.

But a good friend, the same one that introduced me to Demon's Souls, gifted me Dark Souls. It was a game a genuinely enjoyed, but couldn't quite find my groove. I'd create a character, get to a certain point, then feel lost or too frustrated to proceed. So I'd stop playing for a few months, then pick it up again and roll a new character.

This trend repeated for a while, and I DID progress farther every time. Eventually, I hit a wall with one of the bosses and raged quit. So fast forward to my inevitable return to the game, instead of starting over I just went right back to that boss and tried again, and again, and again... and actually won?! That was the moment I feel like my gaming potential was awakened.

From Software fanboy, but also truly invested in a good challenge.

Unrelated, but I'm polishing of Nioh 2 now with NG+ and the DLC
