Re:How to develop black and white film at home with coffee (2019) on Tuesday December 21, 2021 @07:46AM (#29636836)
I've developed some 4x5 Tri-x 320 film with caffenol-c and ilford rapid fixer and the results were good[0]. No scratches or grain but that might be due to the large format and not needing to agitate in a tank. My development time was 11 minutes which i guessed from these experimental times [1].

Re:NetHack 3.6.2 on Monday May 13, 2019 @12:00PM (#19900594)
I find that games that have that amazing intricacy are often passion projects by one developer or a very small team and have been in development for a long time, often decades. Besides NetHack and Dwarf Fortress, I would highly recommend Factorio to anyone with an interest in any kind of engineering and Aurora 4x to anyone who played Stellaris or other space 4x but wants an insane amount of complexity
