Rice normally used for Paella is usually short grain rice. Risotto rice is usually a medium grain. To be honest, any kind of rice is fine. Even a long grain rice is not an actual issue, it might change the initial consistency. Just add more water/let it cook for longer until you have what you want.

For me, there's two ways:

Take a break long enough that you have a mental divide

Play as another player. My trick is to narrate that player's thoughts to stop you from going to your natural thoughts. "I am now here. I don't know what to do. This thing is attracting my eye, I will click it."

I'm not there today at all, but you might catch Arden around at 4-5pm? They'll already leave before 6pm though.

Hope you have lots of fun!

Based in Germany, but if you get enough for an EU contingent, I'd be interested in joining. 5e?

It's because they're finally renewing a 110 year old railway overpass locally known as "idiot bridge" that trucks keep driving into because they think they can fit under it! 😄

So thankfully, you do have different direct options (RE5, RE1) to the Messe, but this does mean one less.

Plus the Düsseldorf-Cologne connection is also kind of known for being busy and delayed, so make sure you have extra buffer time for travel when you have something important!

Also the S11 is affected. It won't stop at Hansaring or Nippes, so if you're staying nearby those stations and were planning to take the train to the conference, you'll only have the S19 running every half an hour.

So just double check your routes and consider taking the U-bahn (the trams).

happy pride month from one very tired queer dev to another 🫠

I hope you'll forgive this long self-promo but we're so proud of what we made in the past 3 years. Please play Oddsparks and share it with others who you'd think would enjoy it, especially any streamers! (reach out to @massiveminiteam.com for a key!)

We've worked hard on making the genre approachable and accessible without dumbing it down. Like, we spent a lot of time making our Logic tools understandable, and we see folks talking about using it with their kids!

Use our game to teach yourself or your kids how an OR gate works!

We love this subgenre and we wanted to crack it open for people. Stardew Valley can be calm and cozy AND get people to pull open a spreadsheet to rush year 1 community center. We wanted to toe the same line and from the reviews, I think we did pretty well, especially since a few has 500+ hours!
