Two very charming (and not too expensive) roguelite games I haven't seen in the comments yet are Blazing Beaks and Dicey Dungeons... I played them on the Switch, but I'm sure they can also be purchased through Steam etc.
In Blazing Beaks, you play different birds with different characteristics and shoot your way through various levels while collecting useful items and annoying debuffs/handicaps like for example, "you cannot shoot while you run" or "every coin you collect deals 1 damage" These debuffing items are the core mechanic - you can collect and exchange them for some really nice stuff that helps you in the long run. Lovely pixel art and really great as a 2 player local coop!
Dicey Dungeons is a little hidden gem where you play as a little dice character and have to fight turn-based encounters in order to escape the dungeon of Fortuna. The mechanics are quite simple: Roll some dice and use them to deal out damage, shield yourself, poison your enemy etc. For example, you might start with a weapon that says "deal X damage points", so if you roll a 4 and insert it into the weapon slot, the enemy takes 4 damage points. There are a handful of different characters that all work differently (my personal favourite is the roboter where you have to gamble if you want to roll another dice to use in attacks, because once you roll too high, you lose the dice you already rolled for this round). Also, each character has a handful of different modes/rule sets so it doesn't get repetitive. Bonus points for a pretty art style, charming enemies and some catchy tunes!
Btw, Hollow Knight is not a roguelite but a metroidvania since the levels, items and encounters are not randomized and unique in every play through, but it is absolutely worth playing!
when it's scorching hot outside and you eat this salad fresh out of the fridge, that's like heaven 👌
gibt es als Person ohne Mastodonkonto die Möglichkeit, das zweite Bild auch hier zu sehen?
I can't remember which game it was (something on the Switch, so maybe a Nintendo game) where the game itself told you which button to press by showing four circles on screen (e.g. next to the speech bubble) and only one of these circles is filled out, so instead of a letter, you know you have to press the right button or whatever... I really like this design choice because it's so intuitive
scheinst dich wohl in der Community vertan zu haben, weil das hier ist kein Comic...
dude, I LOVE When I Dream! Also the idea of putting the draw pile inside a bedframe and covering the unused top of the cards with a pillow is so genius and creative!
It's interesting how Kyle Ferrin managed to develop such a unique, recognizable and charming art style that I when I looked at OP's picture, I instantly thought "huh, the art style of the third board game reminds me a lot of Root"
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but it reminded me of a Tom Scott video where a library tries to keep a copy of everything you can think of (even stuff like leaflets) because it's not possible to know now what will be relevant/interesting in the future, so it's better to err on the side of keeping more stuff than necessary than to lose things that might be useful in the future. I suck at summarizing, so here's the link to this video:
It's not a native species, but in some German cities, you can see a lot of rose-ringed parakeets. They really stand out between the other local birds, so if you go to places like Cologne or Heidelberg, it's quite likely to spot them, especially since they're so loud. A few months ago, I moved to a city without parakeets and frankly, I miss them a lot.
I generally agree, but I'd like to extend it to
red panda > trash panda > regular panda
Not exactly an app, but a few years ago, I had a lexicography lecture where we used the website Lexonomy. The interface is quite easy to understand once you get the hang of it. I don't know how easy it is to use it and edit stuff there within a phone browser though.
I know it's not a direct answer to your question but maybe I can offer an English translation of the German post?

woah, that's a really nice painting! I love the juxtaposition of the 3D- looking body and the flat clothes. With the floral background, it reminds me of Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"
hoffentlich :D aber geht eher darum, dass der trübe Ausgangssaft häufig mit Gelatine geklärt wird, was als Hilfsmittel, das im Endprodukt nicht enthalten ist, auch nicht deklariert werden muss
jup genau, ich leb größtenteils vegetarisch, aber ich hatte noch viel Rotkohl übrig und hab eine vegane Freundin spontan zu Apfelrotkohl und Knödeln mit brauner Soße eingeladen :D und in meinem anderen Kommentar schreib ich auch, dass z.B. auch der eingekaufte Rotwein und Apfelsaft vegan sind (obwohl in der Liste nicht näher spezifiziert weil faul)

A friend of mine told me that her favourite animals are gorillas, so I had to fold one for her :D
I made two very similar origami gorillas: I folded the right one first, according to the PDF on the WWF website (except for the front legs, where the instructions and the picture on the first page are not the same): https://www.worldwildlife.org/publications/gorilla-origami-instructions
But then I looked up the instructions on YouTube (because I like having both instructions and a video while folding something) and found a nearly identical one with a bit more shaping, so I folded another gorilla which I then gave my friend because I liked it more. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/hcJ4Clhg6O4?si=0zNyFToKasDOjyKx
The first steps in the video are a bit different and, in my eyes, slightly more logical than in the PDF, but apart from that, they're very similar. The shaping at the end gives it a completely different look and more dimension though (especially the area around the nose and the back), so regardless of whether you decide to follow the diagrams or the video, please have a look at the video for the shaping.
OH WOW, look at that, we’re already more than one hundred people here in this little community! I’m currently a bit busy with my master’s thesis, but I try to log in at least once a day, and I’ve seen more and more people contributing and sharing their origami projects, which is SO nice! Thank you f...

Thank you for your interest and for your posts so far! I hope this community keeps on being welcoming in the future as well!
On another note, I'd like to use this opportunity to have a chat with you guys. Is there anything in particular you would love to see here? Anything you like or don't like? This is my very first time ever being a moderator, so feedback is greatly appreciated :)
This is a pretty quick fold, but fitting for today's occasion :)
First I used the following PDF diagrams: https://static.onecms.io/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sites/37/2019/06/06191136/BHGBatTemplate.pdf but then got stuck at step 6 since there isn't any line indicating where exactly you have to fold...
So I found a second PDF (https://www.ausbats.org.au/uploads/4/4/9/0/44908845/bat_origami.pdf) which has clearer diagrams and even shows an additional step that is missing in the first PDF, making the transition between step 6 and 7 easier. However, it comes with no text at all, so unless you need written instructions to go along the diagrams, I advise you to use the second PDF. It's nice to be able to look at both, though.
Happy Halloween!
Origami is a beautiful hobby that has been around for many, many centuries and while it originated in Japan, it is now well-known and loved in pretty much the rest of the world - partly because of its accessibility since the only thing you need to get started is a (usually) square piece of paper!
The Origami community is about sharing finished origami projects, asking questions or simply talking to others about this wonderful hobby. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or expert, this place is for all origamists alike!
If you would like to join our little corner of the internet, here are some links that hopefully work for your instance:

See you hopefully soon!
Link to the instruction video for the hen: https://www.origamispirit.com/2014/02/origami-hen-box/ And for the matching chickens: https://www.origamispirit.com/2014/04/chicken/
I know it's not Easter yet, but I found this cute origami hen and just had to fold it! And with the accompanying chickens, you get two instructions in one post!
The two different colours for the beak and the body are a nice little touch and I even bought some bicolour paper for this (but it still looks good with regular origami paper, then you simply decide if either the beak or the body is white). Another cool thing about this hen is that its back can be pushed open and filled with little things, so it's a cute way to gift little chocolate eggs or other packaged sweets!
The tiny chickens are like a smaller version of the hen, literally but also instruction-wise: They have an open back as well and can be filled, even if in this case it's just one single gumdrop. I wouldn't really bother using bicoloured paper for the chickens, though, as everything turns out the same colour except the inside of the body (which usually isn't visible anyways). For the step in the beginning where you have to guess where half of the edge is, I used the technique shown for the hen (folding the edge in half, but only marking the edge with a pinch). I also prefer sloping the fold for the bottom a bit more towards the back for a more upright position, but I like the possibility of varying the apperance.
The blog recommends using at least 15x15 cm paper for the hen (resulting in a 7 cm high hen) and using a quarter of the paper (so 7.5x7.5 cm) for the chickens for balanced chicken-hen proportions... For the chickens, I would not recommend using even smaller paper since it was a bit of a challenge to do the very last folds in particular without the risk of ripping the paper, but this of course depends on the thickness of the paper.
Happy Very Early Easter!
Search or browse high-quality origami models in the Origami Database by category, author, paper shape and more!
I haven't had a lot of time recently to fold something myself, but I stumbled upon a very interesting database for origami models: https://origami-database.com/
Here you can find more than 350 models and their instructions - either as a Youtube link, diagrams or as a crease pattern. You can even apply filters to find models depending on different keywords, difficulty, average folding time and more. The last model was added on September 7, so the database seems to be updated semi-regularly.
I hope this is a somewhat valuable resource to you guys! Happy folding!
Instructions from Peterpaul Forcher as a PDF file: https://www.origamiseiten.de/forcher/scottish.pdf
('Auf der Rückseite ebenso' is German for 'on the back side as well' and the instruction at step 26 tells you to undo the steps 25 and 24 before proceeding with step 27.)
The head was a bit tricky when I folded it for the first time, and even though this is my third time folding this, I somehow can't get this dog's back quite right... you can see the square sticking out and the tail is not quite aligned as well, but maybe you guys can do better than me :)
I would also suggest using at least 20x20 cm paper - I simply used regular white A4 printer paper where I cut off a square with the size of 21x21 cm and the resulting dog is roughly 8 cm long and 7 cm high. If you don't want to fold a Westie but a Scottish Terrier, just use all-black paper :)
I recently bought cute stickers for some friends and wanted to put them in a nice envelope for gifting. Instructions for this type of envelope/tato can be found here: https://doitandhow.com/2019/07/19/pinwheel-origami-envelope-fold (the German text in the top right simply says 'Fold an origami envelope'.)
Unfortunately, the instructions are a slightly blurry image instead of a clear diagram, but on other websites, I could only find instructions where, after having folded the very first cross, you're left to roughly guess two thirds of the diagonal length (or measure the point with a ruler) instead of being guided by already existing folds in your paper... Also, the last step (folding the last flap up and slipping it under the right flap) is not shown in the image, so if someone finds better instructions where you don't have to guesstimate while folding, I'm more than happy to update this post!
I used 13x13 cm paper and the resulting envelopes are almost 7x7 cm.
The crane is probably the most famous origami motive, so there are millions of websites with instructions, but I used the following link: https://origami.me/crane/
The size of the paper used is 13x13 cm.
