X/Twitter is now considered an "alt-right website", according to Wikipedia.

If you type "Forest on the Moon" into an AI, text-to-image generator, it will generate a picture of a forest on the moon...with the moon in the sky.

There is a very simple way to have "walkable-cities" without any central planning or any of that 15-minute, smart-city crap. Just allow residential and commercial zones to mix. Allow people with big enough houses to run shops in them.

I know a lot of local stores and restaurants that were renovated from former houses. Just remove the walls between the kitchen and living room, and have the bedrooms be employee offices then you will have enough space to run a store.

You can take that one step further. Why not have a house with a store attached? A garage can be converted into a small shop or you can have the other side of a duplex be a store. Japan has tons of houses with stores attached. There are even apartment building with something like a 7/11 at the bottom.

See? A simple solution that doesn't involve demolishing entire towns and rebuilding them or building expensive railways that would require evicting a bunch of people and destroying their homes just to make room. Car-dependent cities are a result of central planning, not the other way around.

Placed the end-game item on a pedestal.

Boss now drops the key which leads to the room with the MacGuffin item. I think it's slightly more climatic that way instead of it just ending abruptly.

So apparently YouTube is going ballistic on Invidious instances (again). Just a reminder that Google Video not only allowed you to download their videos but also had their own desktop video player for watching videos offline, granted it was their own proprietary video format, but still.

So apparently, my definition of "techbro" was all wrong. I thought it was referring to right-libertarian-leaning, sometimes rich, tech-nerds who offer "solutions" to the world's problems when they are (at-best) perceived as band-aid solutions. But apparently, it's actually about "toxic masculinity in the industry".

Attempt #2 at creating a restaurant quality pizza at home:

I made another New York style. This when turned moderately better then attempt one, but when transferring from the peel to the stone, it got stuck to the peel and I had to manually transfer it, which is why it resulted in this heart shape.

This time I used actual pizza flour, so it tasted a lot less soggy. But the dough still raised more than I expected. In fact it was rising BEFORE I stuck in it the oven because I was preheating the oven so high and for so long, the surrounding area was hot enough to cause the dough to rise. I also used a much better balance of mozzarella, parmesan, and romano, and it tasted much better than the previous attempt as a result.

It still wasn't exactly the way I wanted it. It seems like you really need that high-gluten bread flour which you need to order directly from a farm or ask a local pizza shop to sell a spear bag for you. I don't feel like doing either of those, but it seems like it's the only option. Maybe I can order a bag online somewhere.

Either way, it was a major improvement, but I plan to do better.

Replaced the BS Zelda "hit" sound effect with a stock asset. It kind of reminds me of Terraria.

Changed the sword sound to a "swing" sound and replaced the door sound with a free asset.

Attempt #1 at creating a restaurant quality pizza at home:

So with my new pizza stone, I decided to first try to make a New York-style pizza with it, according to this video:

https://youchu.be/watch?v=OuwSQWwjDp0

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.

Worked on the credits screen. I switched to a completely different format for the file. I also included my "company" logo at the end.

I GOT THE STONE!!!! (^^

Now I can make restaurant quality pizzas (and other types of foods) at home whenever I want. Expect a review after I make a New York style pizza and a New Jersey style pizza with this thing.
