Ask Box

If you wanna ask me a question, confess a secret, or share something cool with me, you're in the right place!

what's your favourite flavour of sushi :3

(i'm partial to tuna & salmon myself! ^^)

Aw man, do I have to pick a favorite? I love all the sushis,, 🥺

Since it's hard to choose just one flavorite, I like to go for rolls with multiple fillings so I can have more flavors per serving. Tuna sushi is good, but spicy tuna avocado? Now that hits the spot for me. Another one I really like is shrimp tempura drizzled in terriyaki sauce, hmm...~ If I'm ordering sushi at a proper Japanese restaurant though, I like to try something new each time, like snow crab or eel.

I'd like to offer an honorable mention to the 'ol reliable California roll, with its crab stick, avocado, and cucumber. It's a great blank slate to customize with other ingredients, add wasabi to turn up the heat, or dip it in soy sauce to bump up the umami.

Now I'm craving for sushi...

why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food

Linguists and philosophers remain confounded to this day.

Me? Ignorance is bliss so long as my tummy is full of in hot the food.

Has anything bad come of creating this ask box- for example moderation nightmares? I find this idea rather novel (haven't seen it before)

It's only 2 days old, so thankfully not yet! I have some basic measures in place like a rate limit and a simple honeypot, which should be sufficient for your run-of-the-mill spam bots. My friend Kett has run an ask box for a few years and said they have never suffered a spam attack.

I suppose you might have not seen an ask box like this directly on a website, but maybe you've seen that Tumblr has the feature built-in. I've also seen Twitter accounts set up ask boxes using 3rd-party websites like CuriousCat and Retrospring. (Both of which shutdown recently, huh)

So when are you making a game for the Playdate?

Before I made a game for the Playdate, I wanted to play through all the games that come with it and write a blog post about it. I think that experience would help me in understanding how to best utilize the crank mechanic when designing my own game, and give me inspiration too.

Unfortunately, life got busy and I stopped playing games all that much. I'd love to revisit the Playdate, but my hands are tied until I finish some priority things first. Just know that I haven't forgotten!

How can you act so carefree and happy?

When you learn to not worry about things outside of your control, it becomes easy, even if learning that isn't easy. There are a lot of things I could be worrying about, like the disastrous state of the tech job market, but worrying about it won't change that fact, it'll just make me unhappy.

Surrounding myself with loving and caring friends I can lean on in my moments of weakness helps a lot, too.

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

Hmm, that's a hard question. I think you could pull it off if you empty the jar and poke a quarter-sized hole in the lid, and try to play it like a jar.

I just put a pizza in the oven, can you set a timer for 15 minutes?

Answering this (at least) 15 minutes later, your pizza is ready! :)

Why you so cute?

To the Japanese, cats are the embodiment of cuteness. In fact, the faces of anime characters are based on cats in the pursuit of cuteness. Axolotls are also adorable with their goofy faces and frilly gills. So to answer your question, as an cat–axolotl hybrid I'm double-dipping in cuteness :3

Where did you learn to program?

I learned to program on my own with the help of Google, StackOverflow, and W3Schools! Some documentation helped me for specific languages, like Unity for C#, Discord.js for JavaScript, and even GameMaker for the basics of logic and control flow when I first started out.

how do i install particler on forge 1.8.9 optifine

To install Particler on Forge 1.8.9 with Optifine you must first revaluate your life choices that lead you astray, you poor lost soul.

...

Have you heard of Fabric and Sodium + Iris Shaders?


Mario

What’s your favorite pizza topping?

Italians beware, but my comfy default is pineapple, with its juicy tartness contrasting the hot cheese. People like to reject this combination but mixing sweet and savory is quite common in Swedish cuisines. Those IKEA meatballs we all know so well go great with lingonberry jam—seriously, give it a try!

My runner-up choice is a toss-up between sausage and mushrooms, but I'll give sausage the edge as the latter would benefit from other supporting toppings.

Are you bringing fbombs to blanketcon? (not a serious question)

Not the upcoming blanketcon, but maybe a future one when FBombs receives new content! I think it got plenty enough spotlight at ModFest 1.21 >w<


Cyan

are you aware that your awesomeness?

my,, awesomeness? 🥺

Is the ask box open source?

Being part of my website's source code, it is not (all my blog post drafts are stored there!), but I'd like to write a blog post sharing how I made it.


Chelsea

Hmm not sure what I can ask. Hmmm... What color do you think is the tastiest?

Golden brown! Like a perfectly cooked pancake, or the crust of a croissant (cwassont~)

Squishyyyyyyy

How are you the silliest axogato I've ever seen :3

Now to be fair, I'm the only axogato you've seen, but I worked very hard to be that ray of sunshine someone needs to brighten up their day. It's also just a lot of fun being silly and carefree ^w^
