Forgot the most important bit: I painted this with #TurnerAcrylaGouache; definitely struggled with some of the colour mixes, and these paints were dry๐Ÿ˜ญ I learned so much from this piece; I LOVE how the folds of her shirt, pepper neckaces, glass bottles, and wooden cabinet turned out! #acrylicgouache

The Peppermancer, a character from The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, sits at Fortuna's table and smiles as she presents her newest cultivar: The Pepper of Truth! She is wearing a wide brimmed hat from which are hung vials of hot sauce, and her neck is adorned with strands of shiny hot peppers. Her shawl is wrapped around her, but has fallen from her shoulders to bunch around her arms. The window opens into the great expanse of space in which Fortuna's prison is suspended.

And of course AddressSanitizer is inconsistently emitting certain false-positive errors on macOS ARM64 (related to how clang implementation of sprintf() handles its internal buffers??) and I'm sitting here hunched over the icdiff of two sets of logs for runs with the same parameters perishing slowly

Manual testing is poo and why I usually write code to do it for me; I made an issue last week about updating (or adding to) the CI config files to perform a more comprehensive battery of functional testing, but that means I'm stuck for now pecking in various parameterizations of the CLI ๐Ÿ˜†

Disconcerted by the threads and additional context demonstrating a pattern of hostile moderation on this platform. I had pretty high hopes for BlueSky, engaged wholeheartedly to be a part of a new type of social media, but I think I'm going to put the claims of the ATProtocol to the test soon.

I hope you can get a flavourful and energizing cup of coffee out of your moka pot next time around โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ€ Iโ€™ve been lazy and just sticking with my 7 year old DeLonghi drip coffee maker in the morning, and using my goose neck kettle with a pour over setup for when I need another cup in the afternoon ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I used to have success with a fine grind, tamped but not completely packed, making sure the seals were in good condition. Once coffee starts coming out of the spigot, decrease the heat and leave the lid open to condense the coffee. Donโ€™t leave the pot on for too long after itโ€™s stopped percolating!โค๏ธ

Cutscene where Emily of Stardew Valley allows you to access her sewing machine (after having turned wool into cloth using the loom)

6) โ€ฆ Look Iโ€™ve probably cumulatively put 1500+ hours into this game over the years, and have pored over the wiki for hundreds of hours ๐Ÿ˜‚ I know way too much about #StardewValley #specialinterest #comfortgame #cozygaming

3) I was slightly wrong about the conditions for accessing the sewing machine - itโ€™s not based on friendship with Emily, rather itโ€™s based on getting cloth from the loom with wool. Receiving your own sewing machine is from completing Rock Rejuvenation ๐Ÿ˜‚

2) then if your friendship with Emily is high enough to get the sewing machine you could make it??? But again, I think one would be hard pressed to do that by Fall 11, which is where Iโ€™m at now; heโ€™ll, Iโ€™ve played like crazy, and I donโ€™t have the sewing machine yet!

1) Alt of photo is worth review: I SOMEHOW GOT A RARE SHIRT DROP THATโ€™S NOT MENTIONED ON THE WIKI: Goodnight shirt ๐Ÿ˜‚although I thought it would be impossible to get at the time I did (spring), if you get a frozen or omni geode to drop the Lunarite, and if you have wool (bunny or sheep, req. shears)

Wanda, otherwise known as Theolonius or Theo in every damned game they play nowadays, shows their StardewValley inventory containing a dinosaur egg, which was proffered as their very first max friendship gift from their dog. They also have found a Goodnight shirt (which they obtained as yet *another* infinitesimally-likely random drop: the wiki says may only be *purchased* from Maru at the desert festival; this only occurs *after* the desert is unlocked on spring 15-17, which is impossible in year 1!!!)

Gobsmacked with this #StardewValley save. Odds are minuscule for each of these events, but I encountered another of #Yoba โ€˜s #miracle s: my DOG dropped a DINO EGG. The probability isnโ€™t even listed on the wiki; this was my first gift at max friendship with my dog ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ€ #videogame tinyurl.com/4m7vp7pb

A photo of the section on the Stardew Valley wiki page about the โ€œDark Creatureโ€:

Text: โ€œThere is a small random chance to see a large dark creature at night in Pelican Town, Cindersap Forest, the Backwoods, or the Secret Woods. This creature is larger than the dark creature that may appear after the Strange Capsule event. There is a very small random chance that this creature will leave a footprint behindโ€

A photo of Bigfootโ€™s loping sprite animation frame appears below, above an in-game screenshot (far better than the one Wanda took in this thread)

Arrow pointing to a circled area on a screencap of Stardew Valley in the Secret Woods; it is late at night, and so Bigfoot is out taking a stroll, which Wanda so inexpertly captured at the very edge of the frame of the screenshot.

Another gem observed in #StardewValley today: I found #Bigfoot, and in true Bigfoot-sighting fashion, I took a shakey, out-of-focus photo that barely has Bigfoot in-frame. L O L #gaming #easteregg
