I landed this double ninja vanish on accident lol, was just trying to do regular ninja vanish, haven’t been able to land it again lol 😂

The D size bearing makes it surprisingly capable. Back before the judging changed there were a number of world level players competing and doing technical 4A tricks with 1A yoyos; I miss those days.

This is a snippet from a live i was doing. Only the red triangle slackicide was planned. Not a crazy combo for most of you but for me hitting this in this fashion was a little improbable. Hope you like it or get a laugh at least.

Peace!

It’s been a few weeks since I started and been having a lot of fun with it! Just got this yoyo in this week and it’s been addicting to throw.

Sobbed in the car at the bit about the professor and the coin.

This podcast has always been one of the most recommended on here but it’s not really my typical genre. I finally decided to give it a go, and okay FINE you all were so right. It was beautiful and moving and intriguing. I loved it so much.

Like the title says, I’d love to hear your favorite podcast episodes (or series) that you’ve thought about frequently after you’ve listened.

For me, my top two that come to mind are

-A Bump in the Night from Criminal

-Playing God from Radiolab

Would love some other recommendations!

Since 2010, I’ve listened to 100++ hours of podcasts a week. It’s overwhelmingly my primary media consumption (a bad astigmatism makes reading uncomfortable). My early favorite was when think tanks and industry groups would just upload raw audio from conferences for internal circulation. I couldn’t believe what one could listen in on. Makes sense that tapered off. Still, for me that ended the first era.

I loved organic ad reads. They were homespun like old-timey radio. It so suited me–my car in college had Hits of the War Years stuck in the CD player with no way to eject it, so if I picked you up, I was bumping How Much is That Doggy in the Window.

Three or four years ago, suddenly the majority of shows I listen to had intrusive, offensive, repetitive, third-party advertisements. I want to double down on offensive. So many were the audio equivalent of blackface, or sexist, and always tonally inappropriate. Might have been less jarring in an entertainment …

Folks, times are BLEAK. The world seems to be devoid of humanity and I need to get some sanity back. I’m a religious listener of the Handsome podcast and I’ve relistened to all of their eps multiple times but I need something new!

So I’m looking for something that’s light and will make me laugh. What’s your go-to podcast that makes you laugh/feel good?

Btw it doesn’t have to be a comedy based podcast. Drop any and all pods that make you feel happy!

I’ve been listening to Radiolab for at least 13 years, and in that time there’s been noticeable shifts in the editorial styling. Early radiolab was very disjointed, mixing together lots of different voices, hosts, sound effects and clips, you could really tell they were actively experimenting with the format; sometimes it worked in wonderful ways, but often it was jarring and distracting.

At some point around 5 or 6 years ago (at least) they shifted to a more standard edit, giving listeners time to hear interviewees complete full sentences, allowing the hosts time to formulate questions on the fly and giving listeners insight into their thought process as they’re coming up with the questions. It was a huge improvement imo. Even Jad was cognizant of it - I recall him introducing a repeat of one of the old style episodes and making a joke about how hard it is to listen to.

Unfortunately I feel like in the last year or so they’ve seemingly made a decision to …

I got a bright, kind, wonderful kid on the spectrum. He’s sometimes surrounded by other neurodivergent kids who have (not their fault) fallen down some severe supremacist rabbitholes and I just want him to have some smart, entertaining content that goes the other way.

I apologize if this breaks some sort of politics rule. He adores Radiolab and I’m giving him some 99pi, but I’d love something else. Thanks so so much, and I hope you’re all well!

Okay, this is kind of difficult to explain, but I just finished {Tender is the Flesh} and the ending really sat with me. I am not exaggerating when I say I sat out on the porch in the freezing, snowy temperatures to ponder and just think after I finished it. It was like a runner’s high, but readers’ edition. What other books have you guys read have given you a similar feeling. Not looking for a specific genre but I feel dystopias would fill the bill.

​

i don’t want to learn anything or become a better person rn. just need a book that’s absolutely chaotic, messy, and maybe a little bit illegal. what’s your best “wtf did i just read” recommendation?

I’m not looking for Animorphs or Percy Jackson or the Baby Sitters Club!

Tell me about the weird kids’ books no one else has ever heard of! The kooky trilogies no one ever suggests, the weird sci-fi chapter book you read until the pages were falling out, the story you still think about 15 years later, the one off Scholastic book fair purchase kid you couldn’t put down.

Look I’m a simple girl, I need some saucy, trashy romance breaks between my long fantasy epics, but I’m sterile after cancer treatment and because of that pregnancy content deeply triggers me, but every damn straight romance seems to end in a baby, or “securing an heir” for the kingdom or some kind of feral breeding kink. LGBT romances are fun and don’t usually involve pregnancy but it’s not quite what I need.

edit: y’all are real ones! thanks so much for all the recs, this will keep me busy for a while :)

I’m turning 30 soon and I have never read a book in my life. Not one.

Before anyone asks, it is not because I hate reading. I actually read a lot online like articles, Reddit threads, long posts, discussions. If there is text on a screen, I will read it. But I have never actually picked up a book and read it cover to cover.

Lately I have been feeling like I want to focus more inwards. Social media and all the content I consume, combined with my increasing screen time, is having an effect on me. I want to minimize that and I feel like reading books is the way to do it. I want to experience stories, perspectives, and ideas in a deeper way, in a space that is mine and not dictated by algorithms. Do you get me?

So I want to start now. Late, but intentional.

If you had to recommend one book to a first time reader who wants to start this journey of reading and reflection what would it be?

I want something engaging, not painfully dense, but impactful enough to make me want to keep going …

hiiii i used to be super into horror but shortly after graduating from goosebumps as a kid i realised how much of the genre revolves around womens pain and trauma and it really put me off. I’m sure there’s plenty out there i just thought I’d see here for the best bc i miss being genuinely spooked by books.

oh this also includes like “female rage” and revenge stuff. I just want to avoid it all rn just for my sanity

thank you!

Edit : Friendlies being afraid of you counts too

Game example :

Trepang2 : Enemies are terrified of you and when you’re sneaking around they talk about you

Cyberpunk 2077 : In one of the endings, you can hear the enemies be scared of you, plus in a side quest you get recognised and your reputation of killing people makes the bullies run away in fear

Mark of the ninja : you can terrify your opponents so much that they stumble back and scream when they see you

Batman games - Goons are afraid of you, constantly talk about you and you can terrify them too.

Far cry 3 - the stronger you get the more you’re recognised by the pirates

There’s a specific feeling I’m looking for in a game. It’s the feeling of setting off on a long journey, with no easy way back where you came. I think that last part is essential to making the journey feel rewarding, so Bethesda games or something similar won’t count. Similar to Lord of the Rings where you travel from town to town or location to location, and different things happen to you along the way.

I think the closest game I can think is the older (gen 1-4) pokemon games where you set off on this journey and can’t really make it back home until you get Fly and by then you’re usually halfway through the game. The original Dark Souls is probably the only other game that’s ever given me this feeling, because the newer games and Elden Ring have fast travel from the start so you never feel like you are far from home. I’m sure some other JRPGs will fit the bill given you eventually unlock an airship in a lot of them.

Like papers please

I’m looking for games that are singleplayer and last for an infinite amount of time. Like playing on a Minecraft world for years. Or games like Mount and Blade where you can play in the world for as long as you want with no actual ending.

I’ve lived a life. I’m doing ok on paper but along the way I lost the ability to feel happy. Not even sex, drugs, or back scratches makes me feel pleasure. I just keep going on for my dog(he’s munching on a bone right now) and my family while they are still around. In the past week I tried COD Warzone, Dead Space, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Sekiro. I don’t feel like continuing any of them. It just feels like sophomore creative writing dialogue and repetitive mechanics. I was wondering if anyone knows of a game that distracts one with anhedonia.

Edit: After TMS, Therapy x 10, ECT, Ketamine, Medication I have reached a level of sustainable existence, but it doesn’t change my situation. Thank you for the suggestions.

It just feels weird that they release a mountain load of anime/isekai with this trope, but not many games.

The epic stuff can be in there, but the game should primarily focus on content and mechanics dedicated to improving your life.

Building up relationships, expanding your castle/base/house, helping those that matter to you(companions, love interests), buying real estate, increasing your reputation and social status, climbing your rank in the various city guilds and getting tougher ranked quests.

Games that I’ve already played that have this feel:

• Pathfinder Kingmaker
• Skyrim, Oblivion
• Kingdom Come Deliverance 1+2
• Fable
• Dragon age 2
• Fallout NV

Hey,

A while ago I saw someone build a Shortcut that generates a calendar wallpaper from your real iPhone events. I loved the idea, but I wanted something more flexible and easier to customize.

So I ended up building an actual app for it.

It lets you put your real calendar on your Lock Screen as a wallpaper.
Everything is generated on-device. No accounts. No servers. No uploads.

You can:

• Pick from ready-made layouts
• Or build your own layout from scratch
• Change spacing, element sizes, background, layout blocks, shape it how you want
• Decide which calendars show up
• Set priorities
• Make it minimal or detailed

Once it’s set up, it updates automatically (you can choose when), and you don’t have to open the app again.

I built this mostly because I wanted something simple and private that looked good.

It’s free for the first 1000 users.

Hey everyone,

I got laid off about a month ago. While reorganizing my phone and job hunting, I found an Shortcut in this sub that puts a calendar on the lock screen wallpaper. I loved the idea, but I hated that I couldn’t change the colors or add my image.

Since I had free time, I decided to build a version myself to keep my coding skills sharp.

It’s called LockScreen Calendar Maker.

What makes it different:

• Total Customization: You can actually pick your own colors, fonts, and photos.
• Seamless Automation: I spent a lot of time making sure the app connects perfectly with iOS Shortcuts. I also built a clear step-by-step guide for beginners, so setting up the daily auto-update is super easy.
• Privacy: Everything happens locally on your phone.

This project has kept me sane during my job search. I’d love to hear your feedback or if you have any feature requests!

Steps Calendar

Steps calendar as a wallpaper, took me hours obviously.

Please be kind and scroll a bit to select a wallpaper to replace (shortcuts app has a bug that doesn’t allow you to put setup questions). Note that your existing wallpaper would be gone so use with caution.

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

TL;DR: The code below turns into this Shortcut.

The key feature this allows is proper refactoring and programmatic generation. You don’t have to write out the full imperative vCard Menu, you could create one VCardMenu ActionGroup and use it declaratively as many times as you want.

Note it’s not necessarily done, mostly it’s missing almost all of the actions and some finer features such as Aggrandizements, String Interpolation, and Shortcut Inputs. There are also a few known bugs, those being whatever the heck is going on with the icon and Repeat and Repeat Each only returning Repeat Index/Item when they should return Repeat Index/Item n when nested.

Here’s the code used for the above shortcut:

struct DebugShortcut: Shortcut {
  var body: some ActionGroup {
    Comment("""
    v0.0.1

    """)

    var payload = MagicVariable()

I was wondering if I may please have some help with a shortcut I want to create

my idea is to scan the barcode of the book and extract the title , author , published date , series ( if applicable) , and the book cover image

and being able to add a new row each time so it adds it in as a new entry ,

the end goal is to document my library without having to pay for one of those complicated apps

this is what I have so far and chatgtp says I am very close with only 3 issues , but I am unsure on how to execute them

Hi everyone!

I made a relatively simple shortcut that’s proved to actually be really useful (the best kind!), so I figured I’d share it with you all here (:

basically, I have a couple different camera apps that I like to use, each with their own purpose: the regular iOS camera, Snapchat, and Project Indigo.

so, I replaced the camera button on my lock screen with this shortcut that pulls up a menu of all the camera apps I like to use, and allows me to pick one and open it. 

it’s just a dead-simple “choose from menu” > open app shortcut, but it’s been such a nice little quality of life improvement for myself that I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner.

I feel like this did a pretty good job of surfacing these apps to my lock screen while retaining quick access to the regular iOS camera, all without changing the muscle memory of opening the camera app or looking too ugly. 

so yeah, here’s the choose camera shortcut: …
